According to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, our borders are “more secure” today than they were 20 years ago.

The Obama administration has proven time and again that it is out of touch with reality and the concerns of the American people. The fact is that our borders remain under assault by millions of illegal aliens, some sponsoring terrorism, some smuggling drugs and weapons, others eager to break our laws to reap the benefits of living in America.

I believe this is not just an immigration issue but is a national security issue — especially as our nation’s porous borders lie vulnerable to terrorists eager to do harm against the United States.

She is wrong and should be replaced!
