“Napolitano: Those Who Say Border Is Out of Control Are Trying to Score Political Points”

Here.

I was going to summarize the claims and offer some brief analysis — maybe even a snappy, sneering rejoinder — but really, what’s left to say about an administration so sold on the idea that any truth can simply be manufactured from insistent rhetoric that they’ll lie directly to our faces?

So instead, please accept this objective correlative:

MS-13 could not be reached for comment. Which Janet Napolitano immediately cited as proof that none of its members are in the country, and that there really is no border problem. So stop with your complaining!

    There are especially NOT any members of Hamas or Hezbollah crossing the southern border.

    It always amuses me to hear “Hamas,” because it sounds just like “jamás,” which means “never.”

    Nah, there’s nothing to these worries about our southern border.

    The federal government has posted signs along a major interstate highway in Arizona, more than 100 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, warning travelers the area is unsafe because of drug and alien smugglers, and a local sheriff says Mexican drug cartels now control some parts of the state.

    With Egypt’s flush-out in mind, in some ways we aren’t doing Mexican politics any favors either, while we act as a relief valve on their pressure cooker boil. They’ve got business of their own to attend to that gets too easily ignored due to the receipts mailed back home.

    Mueller testified before the House Appropriations Committee in March 2005 that “there are individuals from countries with known Al Qaeda connections who are changing their Islamic surnames to Hispanic-sounding names and obtaining false Hispanic identities, learning to speak Spanish and pretending to be Hispanic.”

    Just last year, the Department of Homeland Security had in custody thousands of detainees from Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. U.S. Border Patrol statistics indicate that there were 108,025 OTMs detained in 2006, compared to 165,178 in 2005 and 44,614 in 2004.

    Sorry Pablo, I didn’t realize that I put up the same link.

  6. PCachu says:

    Well, we can grant Jan that much. I mean, calling it “out of control” would imply that some sort of good-faith effort was actually made to control it at some point.

    And everyone knows that only filthy racists would want that.

    You filthy racists.

    But… But… those signs are a sign of the stimulus working!
