Napolitano visits U.S.-Mexico border

Our government has no clue to what is going on down here.  Eve since oboma announced his plan for a pathway to citizenship they have been crossing by the truck loads.  I have never seen this much activity in the 35+ years we lived on the border.  She states that apprehension is down, could that be because she has pulled a lot of the BP off the border and into other mundane jobs?  The border is now more unsecure than ever, don't let your local and federal parasites tell you otherwise. 

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now/AP) -
As politicians in Washington continue to tackle immigration reform, today Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano took a trip to the U.S.-Mexican border.

Napolitano said she wanted to check up with the Joint Field Command. She said there are a lot of numbers tossed around when people talk about the border, but there are two that stand out.

Apprehensions are down by 80 percent since 1980 and crime along the border has dropped dramatically.

"When you line up the stats from the Arizona-Mexico border, you see that they are all trending and significantly in the right direction," Napolitano said. "It is our goal to keep that progress going."

The Arizona stop comes a day after Napolitano swung through Texas to highlight how the new congressional budget should ease the need to furlough or cut overtime hours for border agents.
