Obama’s Former Homeland Security Boss: “You Can’t Seal a Border.”

You can’t seal a border. Or let people keep their doctor. Or save Americans under fire. Especially if you don’t really want to.

Remember when Republicans start selling illegal alien amnesty in a border security wrapper, these are the types of people who will be enforcing it. And no they don’t believe in border security. They believe border security gets in the way of illegal alien amnesty.

Political calls for more walls and policing at the U.S.-Mexico border are a “straw man” designed to defeat immigration reform, former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said Wednesday.

Napolitano said in an interview with The Associated Press that U.S. money would be better spent on easing border-crossing bottlenecks that affect trade rather than on adding more barriers and agents.

“You cannot seal a border, that’s an unrealistic expectation,” she added. “And I think that unfortunately it has become a straw-man argument to prevent immigration reform from passing.”

Actually border security is a straw buyer for illegal alien amnesty. You think you’re getting border security, but you’re just getting amnesty.

Can Obama Inc. be trusted to enforce a policy it doesn’t believe in? Sure. Like Defense of Marriage. Or not unilaterally legalizing large numbers of illegal alien “DREAMERS”.

Napolitano is gone, but the mindset has no changed.
