This is why you don’t hire a politician without an ounce of law enforcement experience to handle homeland security:
“One of the things that we need to be sensitive to is the very real feeling among southern border states and in Mexico that if things are being done on the Mexican border, they should also be done on the Canadian border,” [Department of Homeland Security Janet] Napolitano told a conference in Washington.
“In other words, we shouldn’t go light on one and heavy on the other.”
It’s sad that Secretary Napolitano cares more for the feelings of Mexico than she does the millions of Americans when her agency approved two reports naming them “extremists” and threatened to sic our police departments on them.
Or Canadians, apparently, who must be treated exactly the same as the drug-runners, coyotes, and criminals who flood in over our southern border.
But, hey, that’s par for the course for this Administration. The real enemies all live within our borders. Everyone else is just a friend we haven’t made, even the folks who want to cut our heads off.
(via Mark Steyn who wonders if Napolitano will order surveillance of the stacks in the Derby Line/Stansted Library.)
