The Federal Government is full of hypocrites on both sides of the isle, from President Obama on down. But today the honor of our # 1 hypocrite goes to Janet Napolitano, currently Department of Homeland Security Secretary. Prior to her ascention to the throne at DHS, Napolitano was Governor of Arizona, and on several occasions, petitioned the Federal Government to do its constitutional duty and protect the border from illegal immigration. As the Associated Press reported in February, 2007,during a speech to the National Press Club in Washington, Napolitano said "We've heard too much talk about border security and not enough action. She urged Congress to "end the rhetoric, stop the politic and provide funding for border control. Then as Governor she VETOED several immigration reform bills!!
On Sunday, April 19, 2009, Secretary Napolitano told CNN that crossing the border illegally is not a crime. WHAT?! Apparently the Secretary is cluless as to the law she has sworn to uphold. . Section 8, Title 1325 of the U.S. code clearly states that those who enter the U.S. illegally are committing a crime. The lady is mystifying. On the one hand, it's stop the madness in her state. Now it's not a crime. Actually, there's no mystery to it. She's a liberal who speaks out of both sides of her mouth. No surprise there.
The current Arizona Governor, Jan Brewer, is right on target. And those states threatening to "boycott" Arizona needs a crash course review on the principles on which this country was founded (although, if you check the cirriculum in today's schools, you'll find that kind of stuff is hardly mentioned).
So, who is this hyprocrit we now have as the head of our national safety? Somehow, I dont't feel so safe.
