Illegal Alien Stumps Napolitano

By Jan LaRue

If you thought Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano's silly remarks and bungling couldn't get any worse, you must have missed her performance on Fox's "O'Reilly Factor" last Wednesday night.

The woman in charge of our immigration enforcement said she "doesn't know" what to do about the country's celebrity illegal alien, Nicky Diaz, former housekeeper for California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman. Hang on -- it gets ditzier. Secretary Napolitano told Mr. O'Reilly that "obviously this is ultimately a matter for California voters to decide."

I'm guessing the Arizona folks have a question for her: "Madam Secretary, if it's 'ultimately a matter for California voters to decide' what to do about an illegal immigrant, why can't we? By the way, Gov. Jan Brewer loves your answer."

Last May, Napolitano called Arizona's new immigration law a "bad law enforcement law" after telling Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that she had not "reviewed" it "in detail," according to CNSNews. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/66122 Napolitano fully supports the Department of Justice's lawsuit to enjoin enforcement of the law. http://www.prescottenews.com/news/lates ... -responses

Here's the transcript of Bill O'Reilly questioning the flummoxed Secretary Napolitano: http://www.thefoxnation.com/bill-oreill ... alien-maid

O'REILLY: All right, now we got to go to the Nicky Diaz situation. As you know she was illegal alien, who worked for Meg Whitman who is running for governor of California for nine years. She comes out. She admits to the nation she had a bogus Social Security number and was employed for nine years. She lied to an employment agency in California. That's how she got to Mrs. Whitman's house in the first place. Now, what is Homeland Security/ICE going to do about her?

JANET NAPOLITANO, HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY: You know, I don't know the answer to that question.

O'REILLY: Shouldn't you know it Madam Secretary? You are in charge and this is a huge case. Shouldn't you know the answer to that question?

NAPOLITANO: Well, I will know it at some point. But, I don't know it right now. I mean I think obviously this is ultimately a matter for California voters to decide in terms...

O'REILLY: It's a federal matter. No. No. No. No. I mean sure, the election between Brown and Whitman in California --

NAPOLITANO: Sure.

O'REILLY: But, this is a federal matter. And, this is why it's important because this is the highest profile illegal alien situation that we have had here in this country for years. Everybody is locked in on this woman. And, I'm not taking an editorial position. I'm not going to tell you what to do. That would be insulting and I wouldn't do that.

However, the folks want to know what the federal government is going to do about this because it sends a message to all the other people using bogus Social Security cards that are hurting the country, Madam Secretary.

NAPOLITANO: Indeed. And, what I am saying is we don't have a decision made right now that I could tell you. But, I can tell you this. I can tell you that our efforts over the past 19 months have resulted in more people being deported who have used bogus social security numbers who have criminal records who have committed crimes than in any other period in our nation's history.


Madame Napolitano's flippant response to O'Reilly reveals not only how unprepared she is as Secretary of DHS, but also that she doesn't consider vigorous, consistent enforcement of federal immigration statutes a priority.

Secretary Napolitano appeared with O'Reilly to take credit for the Obama administration deporting more criminal illegal aliens than were deported the last year of the Bush administration. However, according to Catherine Rampell of The New York Times, there's a bit more to the story: http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/ ... mmigrants/

Most of the increase in deportations has been concentrated in one category of aliens: those who have committed crimes other than being in the United States illegally.

Indeed, the Obama administration has been devoting more resources to directly targeting this population, and in particular noncitizens who have committed "serious crimes" (which includes things like national security violations, homicide and sexual assault); in the first quarter of 2010, 43 percent of I.C.E. detainees had committed crimes in the United States, a higher portion than in previous years:

Indeed, the number of criminal aliens removed by I.C.E. has broken all records. But meanwhile the total number of aliens deported just for overstaying their visas or crossing the border illegally -- a group that includes the students detailed in Julia [Preston's] article -- has dropped for the first time in the last five years. http://www.ice.gov/secure_communities/

Nicky Diaz admittedly entered the country illegally, committed perjury on her employment agency application, and used a "bogus Social Security number" (hello, Madame Secretary!) to secure employment, all federal felonies. Diaz qualifies for deportation even under Obama's "one free bite" immigration policy.

I SAW HER ON THAT FOX INTERVIEW AND HOW SHE DID STUMBLE AND EVADE ANSWERING SOME QUESTIONS THAT WERE ASKED OF HER. SHE IS A REAL POS AS WELL AS A DIP STICK SHE KNOWS THAT THE FEDS ARE NOT GOING TO DO A DAMN THING TO AS FAR AS THIS CRIMINAL IS CONCERNED. THE WHOLE COUNTRY NEEDS TO COME DOWN ON THE DEPT OF HOMELAND INSECURITY. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN CHARGE OF RUNNING THIS COUNTRY IS JUST AS CORRUPT AS THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT

NAPOLITANO: Well, I will know it at some point. But, I don't know it right now. I mean I think obviously this is ultimately a matter for California voters to decide in terms...

In other words: Obozo hasn't yet informed me what the correct response to this question should be. Once I get my marching orders I will have an answer for you.

Nicky Diaz admittedly entered the country illegally, committed perjury on her employment agency application, and used a "bogus Social Security number" (hello, Madame Secretary!) to secure employment, all federal felonies. Diaz qualifies for deportation even under Obama's "one free bite" immigration policy.

We are waiting, Obozo... charge the witch with multiple felonies and deport her so she can never legally come back. Then go after Allred, she loves to get face time in front of the cameras this time she should be charged!

NAPOLITANO: "Indeed. And, what I am saying is we don't have a decision made right now that I could tell you. But, I can tell you this. I can tell you that our efforts over the past 19 months have resulted in more people being deported who have used bogus social security numbers who have criminal records who have committed crimes than in any other period in our nation's history."

Translation:

And, what I'm saying is we aren't going to do a damn thing because Nicky Diaz is special, not your ordinary illegal alien. But on the other hand, I can tell you this. I can tell you that although we are allowing Ms Diaz to be excused for HER crimes, our efforts over the past 19 months have resulted in more people being deported who have used bogus social security numbers who have criminal records who have committed crimes than in an other period in our nation's history and so therefore, because we have done such a wonderful job, we feel that allowing Ms Diaz to escape prosecution shows that we can be selective in who we prosecute based on individual circumstances. This wasn't just some ordinary illegal alien fruit picker, this was a woman who garnered $23 an hour.
And quite frankly Bill, it's only my job to hold the title of Secretary of Homeland Security, you can't possible really EXPECT me to actually do something.

By the way Mrs. Napolitano, who is the "we" you keep referring to? You and your buddy Obama man? You and all your illegal underlings?

Secretary Napolitano told Mr. O'Reilly that "obviously this is ultimately a matter for California voters to decide."

My first thoughts exactly. WHY did you sue Arizona when they made their decision and the people have backed it up as well as their Governor?

The ones we have in charge in DC, DON't even know what is in the new Healthcare plan they voted for so why would they know anything about immigration problems. They are OUT TO LUNCH!

YOU DEPORT THIS ILLEGAL ALIEN is what you do .IT IS THE LAW!

She has not been programmed yet for an answer to a VERY SIMPLE QUESTION! They should have provided her with a RED phone so she could dial home for an answer from OBAMA.

We have anarchy in this country. Laws mean nothing anymore , the illegal has more rights under this Gov than we do. We are at the tipping point. Something is going to break.

she knows what they are going to do, they just dont want to give the american people the truth. they will let her stay because she was a 'victim'

So what if she was a victim? We're all victims too....of our own government.

here is the video

Why doesn't someone place Nicky Diaz under citizen's arrest? In California when one commits a felony citizens can place them under citizen's arrest. The police and ICE then would have to take action.
