Agents patrolling America’s southern border are slamming Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano for giving the nation “a false sense of security,” after she claimed the border region is “better now than it ever has been.”
In the past three years, three border patrol officers have been killed in the volatile border area.
Yet despite the grim reality of the rampant violence stemming from Mexican drug gangs — and two deployments of the National Guard — Napolitano recently remarked: “There is a perception that the border is worse now than it ever has been. That is wrong.”
Napolitano pointed to statistics indicating fewer illegals are flooding across the border. But opponents of illegal immigration say the diminished activity simply reflects the high unemployment north of the border amidst a weak economy.
The National Border Patrol Council rejected Napolitano’s contention that peace has broken out on border with Mexico.
