#1 Lawlessness is an obama administrative imperitive.

#2 illegally --- is not a crime

Officer, I took this Ferrari off the lot illegally, but it is not a crime. Janet Napolitano, mouthpiece for President Obama, says so.

#3 I guess it's OK for anybody from anywhere in the whole wide world to just come on in then. Come on, folks! You're all welcome! Get your welfare checks. Free welfare checks! Hurry while they last.

#6 Obama campaigned and was elected largely on an illusion. It shouldn’t come as any big surprise that his administration would set policy any different.

Come one come all and witness The Amazing Obama as he performs the famous “Rhams-Crisis” mirage.
Folks as you can plainly see there’s nothing up his sleeve as his lovely assistant Hillary shares the blame for border violence and a Mexican economy in the dumper.
Watch as he waves his magic wand. And…presto… more ICE agents are sent to the border to combat the banditos.
For the grand finale…Abracadabra…the skeleton resources needed for interior operations end up performing the interdiction duties reserved for the Mexican border authorities.

And the applause from the Latino special interest groups is deafening.

#7 Let me get this stright. The Secretary of Homeland Security - this is the department responsible for securing our homeland - is claiming that violating our borders is *not* a crime?

This is The Onion right? Please let it be The Onion

I wonder what will be her excuse when (not if) another 9/11 type attack is successful.

#8 Jan "Bigfoot" Napolitano does not have the role of interpreting the law, just enforcing it. She should wait until AG Holder determines that the law doesn't say what it says and then not enforce it.

#9 This is not surprise except by the brazen nature of the assertion. Just plain and simple, this administration only plans to enforce the laws that it choses. This is the beginning of the Imperium, not another presidency. These folks feel they are above the law, and above the constitution and above the oath each one took to support and defend the Constitution and "enforce the law." This screams for response in the courts, and punishing public reaction against this idiot at DHS.

#10 Bad choice of words, but Napolitano is half right. That is, unless you have been *observed* illegally border crossing, it has long been regarded as a "non-prosecutable misdemeanor offense."

And once you are an illegal alien inside the US, it is a civil, not a criminal offense to be here. The serious felonies are both for human traffickers, and individuals who have been legally barred from reentry.

#13 I would not call her a hoe. more like a rake.

#14 Imagine how fast their tune would change if illegals starting voting for Republicans.

#15 Newc:
youre right. alternate definition of rake:
"debauchee, libertine, rounder - a dissolute person; usually a man who is morally unrestrained" She is a man trapped inside a woman's body, a rake.

#16 She is a man trapped inside a woman's body, a rake.

Pretty sure you didn't mean this the way it sounds. Not all men are rakes, and some women are.

Besides, her morals are not at issue. It's her sanity we must question.

#17 Proposed border signage:

#18 Anonymoose, think about the logic of what you said. Not the legal flatulence, the logic. If a person is here with no evidence of legal entry, but no one saw them enter, you assert it is a cicl matter becasue there is no proof of crime. Horse manure. It is like the way everyone is saying the "alledged pirate". Insane, and just because it is wrapped in legal jargon, still insane. The little shit was in the g-d boat and only came on board the Bainbridge to get free medical attention. What can any reasonable person draw from to support "alledged"? This kind of specious reasoning dressed up as law is killing us....
The reasonable answer is...no papers, deport, pirate - hang, in both cases with as little cost to the over-burdened American taxpayer as possible!

#19 The real reason for this Napolitano assertion just screams from the page - if they aren't illegal, there can be no barrier to AMNESTY, and 12-15million new Democrat voters to permanently fleece the American people through tranfer of wealth programs........and oh by the way, amke the Democrats the ruling elite for as long as the nation lasts until it stumbles and falls, like Rome done in by soft-headed twits, social progressives and lawyers.....

Yes, not all men are rakes. I meant it in the sense Janet might be one. I do think her morals are at issue. She doesn't seem to think keeping illegals out is a priority which is pure hogwash.
