DHS Secretary: The Border is Safe and Secure!

 
The N.Y. Times reports that, in a speech today, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano chastised critics, mostly Republicans, who have said that illegal crossings and drug violence are out of control on the southwest border. She said that inaccurate accounts of insecurity were hurting business in border cities like San Diego, El Paso and Tucson, where violent crime rates have dropped notably in recent years. “Enough is enough,” she said, speaking at the think tank, NDN. “Damaging information about border communities has been repeated often enough.”
