Her refusal to rein in enforcement of the "Secure Communities" immigrant roundup program has led to about 400,000 deportations annually – 60,000 in California last year – most of them initially stopped for a minor traffic infraction or other noncriminal behavior. Under Napolitano's leadership, this administration has presided over more deportations than any other in history.
Were they all illegal? If so, what's the beef? It should have been 50 times that many. And the reason this administration, which really is a softee on the issue, has deported more illegal aliens than any other in history is that we have more illegal aliens coming in, and more illegal aliens already here than at any other point in our history.


And if Mr. Alvarado wants to ensure that there are "secure communities" then all he and his fellow travelers have to do is ensure all members of those communities are in this country legally. Then the only things they have to fear are the same things the rest of us fear, i.e., SWAT teams run amok, indefinite detention, drone surveillance, end of life counseling, Muslim jihadists, drug cartels, black gangs, Hispanic gangs, skin head gangs, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.
