This administration proves over and over that stupidity has no limits. Often leading the list is Janet Napolitano.
And once again the execrable Napolitano demonstrates that she fights for the rights of Mexicans over those of Americans.
Napolitano has agreed to a plan that would basically provide a superhighway for Mexicans to flood into this country.
As violent drug cartels take over Mexico and expand their criminal enterprises north, the United States has signed a “trusted traveler” agreement that allows pre-screened Mexican airline passengers to bypass lengthy airport security checkpoints.
The foreigners will get “trusted traveler cards” with fingerprints and other biometric data and they must answer customs declarations questions on touch-screen kiosks before leaving airport inspection areas. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano claims it’s a way to enhance information sharing and mutual security in the face of “ever-evolving, multinational threats.”
And not just a few would be eligible. 84 million Mexicans could qualify.
About 84 million Mexicans are expected to qualify for the trusted traveler program, according to Mexico’s Interior Ministry Secretary, who signed the agreement on behalf of his country this week. Celebrating the festive occasion, the Mexican government official assured that the new accord will facilitate the U.S. entry of business travelers and tourists who are key factors in economic development, growth of trade and cultural exchange.
This is made possible through Napolitano’s “Global Entry” program, which does away with those pesky security lines.
How nice.
And while we’re at it, let’s add a “Protected Traveler” program for illegals!
While Napolitano was in Mexico finalizing the trusted traveler agreement this week, she also took the opportunity to sign a “letter of intent” to develop a plan for protecting immigrants from criminal attacks as they cross the border—illegally—into the U.S. Mexican officials have long complained that American law enforcement officers stand by as illegal immigrants are robbed, killed or violently beaten. Napolitano has committed to reducing the risk to life and security of migrants, according to the Mexican minister.
So we need to spend taxpayer dollars to protect those breaking into our home illegally. I have a problem with that.
Hey- I’ve got an idea.
Mexico can stop encouraging illegal immigration! And maybe we should stop it as well!
Then no one gets hurt.

Aqua: I have a story for you. The first time I traveled to Oaxaca, it was a eye opener. On the beach, I am sorry I don’t remember the name, the standard procedure is to rent a cabana or hotel from a local ‘business man’ (that is where we as Conservatives are messing up, every other Mexican wants to be a business man, my kind of people) and you pull up to his ‘hotel’ (Just four poles set in the sand with palm fronds for shade) and you have shade in the heat of the day. This was Christmas and it is still hot. A price is agreed upon. Included in the price is lunch and dinner cooked by his wife. Every morning he would swim out and spear fish. He and the other men all had scars from sharks because they used and an inner tube with a net to keep their catch and of course the sharks would come in with the smell of blood. After the fishing was done, he would come back with the names of dishes his wife could make from that morning’s catch. The Spanish down there is peppered with Indian words, so I didn’t always know what I was ordering, too funny. He would always let me know when I made a social error in a polite and professional way and tell me the correct way to order.
The further South you travel the hotter the food, at least as far as seasoning. I use jalapenos in everything, but I wasn’t prepared for this stuff, muy caliente! After a few days I ran out of bottled water, all the locals gathered their drinking water from a spring, but I have dealt with the touristas before and I didn’t want to risk it. My hotel manager kept bringing me hot beer, but after a few days of hot food, you at least need a cold beer. His idea of cold beer was to set it in the shade for a few hours. There was a small plywood cantina in the village, I asked my concierge if they served cold beer, he said they did (they had a generator) and I told him I was going to go there tonight and get a cold beer.
He said,”No, Senour Skook, muy malo.”
I asked what was wrong with the idea. He pointed to several of the men with scars that weren’t shark scars, they were long evil looking scars. He said the guys get drunk at night and fight with machetes and that is why they have the terrible scars. He told me he would bring two cold beers each night and add it to my final bill. “Excellent” I told him.
I went there for several years and watched his kids grow up. A little girl wrapped a towel on top of her head and carried these giant platters of food, way more than I could ever eat and she would always total my expenses for the day, I am sure she is working for some big company now. Eventually the cost became a formality, because I would go to the second hand store and buy clothing for the entire family before I left home and I was like a Santa for them, clothing is extremely expensive down there.
So my best advice is not to hang out in the cantinas once the locals start sharpening their machetes; other than that, I miss my adopted family and their hotel on the beach.
Aqua, hi, what you are proposing is a solution, to many problems on illegals, refugy, and
non immigrants yet, but hoping forif only they would approch a number one problem,to get to number 2 and so on, but no nothing, niente, leaving those people in a vacuum of no hope for a future, no more wish for a better statue, and that is driving them on illegals quick fix
dangerous for the AMERICANS POORS WHO ALSO BECOME ANGRY to witness theses illegals smugle and get paid for pushing the born americans out on the street, while the non AMERICAN ENJOY THEIR PLACE.

Noted, and great story. I go out with my brothers-in-law, and nephews a lot when I’m in Mexico. I haven’t ever had any problems. I know trouble is out there though.
I’ve never been to the Rez in Browning, but I’ve always wanted to go. I have a friend of mine that is full-blooded and he told me not to go. He said even being a half-breed was looked down on and the Blackfeet boys like to fight. I still may go, ’cause who doesn’t like a good fight now and then?
Aqua, you might like a good fight, one on one, but it’s not something you do every day, so if you fight with one of them is to have to fight them all because a gang protect their own, and you might have them all over you at the end, it take one bad cut at the wrong place to kill you or leave you in serious lifetime pain and disability, so be carefull to fight those who practice their skills for a living, they will fight to death, and you wont
James Raider, hi, why would the country accept to take 500 peoples no identifications no clue who they where before entering, dont tell me it’s on the name of generosity,
it doesn’t work anymore, those are invaders to be refuse and deported as fast so to give a message like other COUNTRYS DOES, we are not that hungry for allowing that just anyone
can play the refugy game to establish them among the citizens of this COUNTRY,
WHOS ancesters fought and bled to death to save their owns.
look at the population number only 20 years ago or before and we where not in need of more people to live well, so anyone who says we need more citizens ,at all cost no choosing who
is full of this claim to want votes at any cost to save their party, this is how low can they get,
and people should think twice before VOTING FOR SUCH A PARTY,WILLING TO TAKE ANYONE

I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, Canadian political parties including, would you believe, the Conservative party, have made it a core block of their principal political strategy, . . . to pander to the immigration voting block because it has become so enormous.
The current leadership in Parliament is Conservative, yet strangely these members of Parliament are falling all over themselves to make sure they do not alienate any of the newer arrivals. Canada has the highest immigration stats of any country on Earth and immigration has become a whole “industry” which is, along with the sale of the country’s natural resources, about the only thing that has sustained the country’s economy.
Unfortunately, Canadian immigration has been so badly managed, and is so fraught with fraud, that it’s only a matter of time before the “bread basket” goes broke under the weight of people depending on it who didn’t feed it tax money over the past 40 years.
I might mention that this should provide a cautionary flag for those who are pushing headlong and ignorantly into Obamacare. The Canadian Medicare system is cracking at the seems. Clinics are closing, particularly in more rural areas because there is a shortage of funds, for example. That means that if you have an emergency, you’re screwed, but good luck. Even in a major metropolitan city, if you need an operation, . . . wait a year. If you’re old, well, let’s see, hmm, do you really need that heart operation? Not so much, let’s wait a year and see if you really, really need it.
You might get a kick out this one, . . . research the internet on the Canadian immigration subject and you’ll find companies (immigration lawyers) who entice foreign students by promoting the fact that after 3 months in Canada, . . . they can get free Medicare. Who paid for this medicare system, hospitals, doctors, nurses, equipment etc.? Not the new arrivals. You can only do that so long before the breadbasket falls apart. The system is underfunded so taxes are being increased.
There are endless other cracks that have developed in the Canadian system that Obamacare supporters should consider.
James Raider, yes, the system was maybe good at the beginning to help the poor citizens that where not abusing it also, but with the explosion of arrivals of people from others COUNTRYS
TOLERATED BY THE THAN GOVERNMENT, ABUSE SET IN FROM THOSE AGENTS ON HELPING IMMIGRANTS TO RELOCATE, AS WE HAVE DISCOVER NOT SO LONG AGO by our so smart people from the shows like W5 and the super FIFTH ESTATE ON TV,
too much abuse on MEDICARE, ALSO is ruining it, for today’s reality; IT does not match with the demand that is in many instances more frivolous than needed,
like a big COMPANY as it grow must adjust, or back up, than should it be review seriously,
not just a slight touch over.

U.S. Travel Association: Trusted Traveler Program Should Be Centerpiece of Enhanced Air Travel Security System
The U.S. Traveler Association “helps promote travel to and within the U.S.”.
John Cooper, that is what should have been done at the beginning, before the TSA STARTED THOSES ACTIONS ON THE TRAVELERS; NOW THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT IT AFTER IT WAS DISCUSSED HERE AT FA AND MANY OTHER CONSERVATIVES BLOGS,
WHICH MADE MORE SENSE THAN ALL THOSE IMPLEMTATIONS THAT DON’T SOLVE
THE SECURITY PROBLEM AND HARASS THE GOOD AMERICAN PUBLIC.
