President Obama’s appointment of longtime open-borders advocate Janet Napolitano as Homeland Security Secretary, to oversee the defense of this nation’s borders, is every bit as absurd as the insane Roman emperor Caligula bestowing the title of consul on his favorite horse, Incitatus.

In making their laughable appointments, both Obama and Caligula showed not only incredible arrogance, but their absolute contempt for the public they were charged with protecting.

Last month Janet Napolitano stated publicly what most of us already knew…The Obama administration is planning another effort to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. In a press conference, Napolitano argued how the country would benefit from placing illegal aliens "on a pathway to being legal."

In less than a year as head of the DHS, Janet Napolitano has refused much-needed funds for her department, leveled unfounded accusations at veterans, accused conservatives of being potential terrorists, stopped worksite immigration enforcement, weakened the highly effective 287g program, and is now busy promoting amnesty for illegal aliens.

In October, the Department of Homeland Security admitted that only 894 miles of this country’s 8,607 miles of America’s land borders, are actually being protected. The announcement came in the agency’s 2009 Performance Report.
