DENVER — Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says Arizona's law to get tough on immigration is the wrong way to get local police involved in enforcement.
Napolitano says she agrees with a district court ruling that blocked some of the most controversial parts of the law in July and that "we cannot have 50 different immigration enforcement teams across the country." Arizona is appealing the judge's ruling.
Napolitano, the former governor of Arizona, said in a Denver speech Thursday that there are better ways to involve local law enforcement in fighting illegal immigration, including the federal Secure Communities program that has been implemented in several hundred jurisdictions nationwide.
Immigrant advocates across the country have criticized the fingerprint-sharing program as too broad.

Janet - once again you are getting face time and appearing as a total dolt and puppet of Obama.
The SB1070 may not be needed in DC; I have no clue as to the Illegal issues in your area.
I DO know the potential issues we, here in AZ, are facing. Luckily for all of us, the Illegals are leaving AZ but we still have major problems.
--> We are arming ourselves to protect lives and property against possible crimes perpetrated by criminals.
--> You are doing us all a disservice by your blind adherence to the Obama-rama farce.

What we'd like to have is one single DHS Sec'y who actually did her job and worked to secure our border.
May you return for a brief visit and fall into the middle of a densely grown acre of cholla.

Implemented... Yes. Effective? NO.
If any of Nappy's policies actually removed illegal aliens from the USA, then 30 million of them wouldn't sleep comfortably in MY COUNTRY every night.
They have no fear of deportation. Why should they? They know they have friends in government like "JacK" Napolitano working for them.

Former Gov. Janet Napolitano was reelected governor of Arizona in 2006 with the inflexible support for “Open Border”. She is still unwilling to alter that “Open Border” predetermined course . . and that's why she is set against Arizona’s illegal immigration law.
This year, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano issued a memo that contained information about an operation by several Mexican drug cartels in which they were sending a team of snipers into the United States to use lethal force against bandits who were robbing their drug smugglers.
DHS Secretary Napolitano is still overlooking the fact that Phoenix is the kidnap capital of America and almost all of it is intra-cartel violence taking place in Arizona.

The only reason the feds have a problem with Arizona's immigration laws is because they refuse to execute the immigration laws our federal officials voted in and don't want states to either. All they have to do is start executing the laws they are sworn to uphold.

Again, another lefty/dum living on Neptune. Ms Janet is now Arizona's GREATEST export. Her leaving our state is the ONLY good fallout from this administration.

Beleaguered Bay State and U.S. taxpayers coughed up a staggering $35.7 million this year in free emergency health care for more than 52,000 illegal aliens in Massachusetts, sparking outrage from candidates and critics who back a tougher line on immigration.
And that is just the medical bills for those hard working immigrants who just do the jobs Americans wont do. Retard Napolitano must think that it's ok to waste millions paying for illegals. After all, they are good voting democrats aren't they?

Janet: When King Obama gets dethroned in two years, you'll see just how "wrong" your opinion is. By the way, stay in DC, Arizona doesn't want or need your return....
