Well, Janet Napolitano is on the case.

http://www.nationalpost.com/todays-paper/story.html?id=1520295

QuoteCan someone please tell us how U. S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano got her job? She appears to be about as knowledgeable about border issues as a late-night radio call-in yahoo.

In an interview broadcast Monday on the CBC, Ms. Napolitano attempted to justify her call for stricter border security on the premise that "suspected or known terrorists" have entered the U. S. across the Canadian border, including the perpetrators of the 9/11 attack.

All the 9/11 terrorists, of course, entered the United States directly from overseas. The notion that some arrived via Canada is a myth that briefly popped up in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, and was then quickly debunked.

Informed of her error, Ms. Napolitano blustered: "I can't talk to that. I can talk about the future. And here's the future. The future is we have borders."

Just what does that mean, exactly?

Just a few weeks ago, Ms. Napolitano equated Canada's border to Mexico's, suggesting they deserved the same treatment. Mexico is engulfed in a drug war that left more than 5,000 dead last year, and which is spawning a spillover kidnapping epidemic in Arizona. So many Mexicans enter the United States illegally that a multi-billion-dollar barrier has been built from Texas to California to keep them out.

In Canada, on the other hand, the main problem is congestion resulting from cross-border trade. Not quite the same thing, is it?

I want to go back to the past when we didn't have borders. :weep:

She has time to learn about all this, because she has no life... remember?  :)

Seriously, does anyone actually believe that any Cabinet-level appointees generally have any idea what goes on in their departments on a daily, weekly, or even yearly basis?

She should post on Languish.

That could make America safer; if we put Detroit and Buffalo on the Canada side...
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I think Sav should be the Homeland Security Secretary.

Speaking of stupid people, a Polish MP recently raised a question during the PM question time whether the government is doing anything to stop "Polish storks" from being killed in the Med when they migrate South for winter.  :D

Meanwhile, the press reported how evil Czech and German wolves cross our Southern border and kill poor Polish sheep.

I think she confused it with the millenium plot, which did try to enter from Canada.

Of course a few days ago she did also claim that it is not a crime to enter the US illegally.  :huh:
