Janet Napolitano would appear to view Vets and illegals in somewhat different lights


Here’s Janet Napolitano on State of the Union this past Sunday commenting on her Department's insipid assessment memo with respect to "extremist" groups targeting returning vets.

KING: But when you say will attempt, who are these groups? What do they want to do?

NAPOLITANO: Well, it's a number of groups, almost far too numerous to mention, regrettably so. But some of them, indeed, want to do what happened in Oklahoma City. That is, commit violent acts within the homeland. And again, Department of Homeland Security, we were stood up because of a terrorist act, 9/11. But that came on the heels of Oklahoma City, which was a domestically caused terrorist act. So one of our missions that Congress has given us and that we do is try to keep everybody informed what are the kinds of things that can lead to an act of violence, but, in this case, where are groups recruiting.

(italics, ours)

Far too numerous to mention?

How 'bout giving us just one? Guarantee ya, she can't.

And 9/11 came on the heels of Oklahoma City? There was a full six year gap between the two.

And it's official: Timothy McVeigh has become the Willie Horton of "right-wing extremists". No amount of time can pass nor frequency restrict going right back to that well when all else fails.



And here she is with respect to illegal aliens:

NAPOLITANO: Well, you know, Sheriff Joe, he is being very political in that statement, because he knows that there aren't enough law enforcement officers, courtrooms or jail cells in the world to do what he is saying.

What we have to do is target the real evil-doers in this business, the employers who consistently hire illegal labor, the human traffickers who are exploiting human misery.

And yes, when we find illegal workers, yes, appropriate action, some of which is criminal, most of that is civil, because crossing the border is not a crime per se. It is civil. But anyway, going after those as well.

(italics, ours)

Entering the U.S. is not a criminal act? 8 USC Sec. 1325 would beg to differ.

This is just outstanding. Here's the woman charged with ensuring domestic tranquility, fear-mongering returning veterans without a single shred of solid evidence yet poo-poohing illegal immigration as solely a civil matter.

Yep, we’re in good hands.

Good Hands indeed. You know things are bad when you start to concider another Janet as "the good ole days"

All who were left scratching their heads when Obama chose this obedient toady to head Homeland Security now can get a handle on it: a serious appointee, focused upon real terrorist threats (not imaginary, partisan ones i.e. the TEA parties) -like, say, a Rudolph Giuliani- wouldn’t have been a willing collaborator in a sham report trashing US vets for disgraceful political purposes.

Napolitano’s qualification for this job was purely being a liberal Obama sycophant… certainly not any skills, insight, or ability.

Her recent statements on Canadian border security illustrate how incompetent and puzzled she really is- completely lacking the credentials to be in charge of protecting our country from the likes of Al Qaida.

Trouble is, the narcissist Obama needs to be surrounded by mindless drones to confirm his omnipotence and pollyanna world view. But such appointments as Napolitano and Panetta to vital national security posts are a show of weakness that will surely encourage terrorists and other rogue characters who see America as their enemy- no matter how hard Barack tries to schmooze them.

Sadly, anyone who expected The One to place the nation’s practical defense interests above those of his own political security and radical agenda hasn’t really looked at how he got this far in the first place.
