OBAMA-SOETORO'S HOMELAND SECURITY'S JANET NAPOLITANO DISCLOSED YESTERDAY SHE HAS TAKEN LAWS REGARDING GUNS, DRUGS, IMMIGRATION AND MUCH MORE INTO HER OWN HANDS COOPERATING WITH-- AMONG OTHERS--OBAMA-SOETORO'S DRUG CZAR AND FEDERAL MEXICAN TROOPS!

Napolitano's words:


"...you cannot segregate the Southwest border from the rest of our nation, nor can we segregate our efforts on the Southwest border from the efforts and the partnership we must have with Mexico...

"...let me talk about our integrated strategy and our integrated paradigm for border security that relies on addressing border security along with interior enforcement, along with a counternarcotics strategy and a streamlined process for citizenship...

"...smuggling organizations are transnational by nature. And so because they are transnational, this effort has received the highest level of attention in the Obama Administration.

"...for really the first time, our countries are treating this issue of the drug cartels and border-related violence as a shared problem.

"...we are working to impede the supply of guns and cash going into Mexico, and the government of Mexico is committing not just civilian but active duty military and federal police to suppress the drug cartels.

"
We’ve doubled the number of agents that ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] has assigned to the border enforcement security teams, which include American, Mexican, state, local, tribal law enforcement agents working together to crack down on smuggling. We have tripled the number of DHS intelligence analysts working on the Southwest border.

"
We have doubled the number of DHS agents collaborating on looking for and apprehending violent criminal aliens, and we have, as you know, ramped up southbound inspections to search for illegal weapons and cash, adding mobile X-ray machines, license plate readers, more Border Patrol agents, and K-9 detection teams to that effort. For the first time we have begun inspecting all southbound rail shipments into Mexico.

"...the government of Mexico has created for the first time a customs service to focus on border security...It is exchanging in real time law enforcement information to enable us in real time to better track the movements of wanted fugitives..."

"This goes well beyond what has been done in the past by their government or ours...

"We are preparing now to deploy new technology. You’ve heard of the SBInet...


"We will enforce this law smartly and intelligently, and if and when, and I believe it is when the law changes, we will be prepared to enforce that law as well.


"...what happens at the border affects Kansas City. What happens in Kansas City affects the border...
The demand is primarily for drugs, and you've heard or will hear from our drug czar and our plans to reduce that demand.

"I asked a group of law enforcement this morning at breakfast about 287(g). Nobody had really heard of it, but it has caused an enormous uproar in the press across the country. So let me be very clear what 287(g) is and how we are going to use it. 287(g) is a program, a law that was instituted during the Clinton Administration, that gives state and local law enforcement the ability to enforce immigration laws...the basic agreements have been rewritten and reprioritized to focus on using them in jails and prisons...those revised agreements are now in the field and we are looking forward to continuing the 287(g).

"So partnerships with Mexico, more partnerships with state and local law enforcement as we look at how things are linked together...


"ICE has recently announced a new set of steps to make sure that detention facilities are safe and sound. Indeed, we will be actually stopping sending some of the apprendees to some of the centers...we will continue to work to improve detention overall to make sure the American people have confidence...

"Within the Department of Homeland Security we have Citizenship and Immigration Services. USCIS is part of us...[IMMIGRATION] pathways are being streamlined...we have been asked to look at reforming the laws that exist.

"We are not going to sit by at the Department of Homeland Security and wait for change in the laws...we can reform what we're doing as we wait for reform in the law, and that is exactly what is going on."
