Default Janet Napolitano Predicts Immigration Reform in 2010

WASHINGTON -- Timing is everything in the arts of war or politics, according to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s Nov. 13 speech on the need for immigration reform.

“Now, while everyone may agree that the status quo isn’t working, what everyone may not be aware of is how much the immigration landscape has changed since comprehensive immigration reform efforts failed in 2007,” Napolitano said. “I’ve been dealing hands-on with immigration issues since 1993, so trust me. I know a major shift when I see one, and what I have seen makes reform far more attainable this time around.”

Napolitano’s speech at the Center for American Progress (CAP), rather than a rhetorical tour de force, was a finely calibrated recitation of the Obama administration’s wish list and rationale for the ingredients of a comprehensive immigration reform package it hopes will move through Congress in 2010. In its broadest and simplest terms, she described a “‘three-legged stool’ that includes a commitment to serious and effective enforcement, improved legal flows for families and workers, and a firm but fair way to deal with those already here.”

On the latter point, how to resolve the legal status and residency issues for an estimated 12 million people living in the United States illegally, Napolitano never mentioned the word “amnesty” in her speech or during the brief question and answer period for a standing-room-only audience.

Don't ya just get a kick out of Nappy taking credit for stuff she had no part of. And then brag that there's all that fencing. But she doesn't want the American public to actually see what that so called fencing looks like, because it's not a fence.

You can try to dress it up anyway you like it. The American mainstream is not going to be anymore in love with the idea of rewarding successful law violators, than they were two years ago ... particularly when jobs and financial stability are a whole lot more scarce right now.

When someone figures out the difference separating George Bush and Barack Obama, in terms of their differing ideas about immigration policy solutions, please wake me.

I can't testify to the difference in the cloth they are cut from, but I would like to mention that a middle eastern man (not sure what country) that I spoke to today told me in his country, everyone was happy that Barry was elected. The problem is, over there he wanted me to understand that now they believe he is worse than Bush and want to see him go just as much.
