A Two-Part Fix: Immigration Reform and Border Security

In response to calls from both sides of the aisle that our nation’s immigration system desperately needs a fix, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, promotes a two part strategy of increased border security measures and immigration reform. Although Napolitano rejects the notion that the borders can be entirely sealed, the secretary explains that the Department of Homeland Security is working with the Justice Department on additional steps to secure the southwest border. Stating that the “border is as secure now as it has ever been," the secretary urges Congress to move forward with immigration reform. In obvious reaction to the Arizon law, Napolitano said both "I share the frustration border communities feel" and “we need a single functional immigration border policy."
