DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano was called before the Senate Judiciary Committee to get dressed down by this esteemed governing body and to answer a few questions about immigration, TSA, and other things that fall under the Department of Homeland Security. Not everyone was on their best behavior.
According to the Washington Times:
Homeland Security Secretary Janet A. Napolitano says her department has the resources to deport about 400,000 aliens each year, and the new guidance her department issued will only change the makeup of who gets deported.
“There are 10 million or so illegal immigrants probably in the country and the Congress gives us the resources to remove approximately 400,000 per year,” she said, testifying to the Senate Judiciary Committee. “The question is, who are we going to prioritize. And we’re very clear. We want to prioritize those who are convicted criminals. We want to prioritize those who are egregious immigration and repeat violators. We want to prioritize those who are security threats, those who have existing warrants.”
