How is it that Obama is outdoing Bush as a border-security cowboy? And why won't somebody in the Federal government remind Arizona that immigration and citizenship is a Federal--and not a State--matter?

I heard Janet Napolitano on MSNBC the other day talking about how the Arizona law was a bad move. Then you hear something like this:

How is this "fixing our broken immigration system"? Only in the land of NumbersUSA is this an immigration fix.

By the way, does anybody know if the link to this leak by the Washington Post was posted on here? I don't remember seeing it. But if these memos are really as Gutierrez has described them, then the actions of the administration and lack of movement on immigration are truly appalling.
It isn't a fix and nobody is claiming it as such. What he's stating is that this is the behavior that ICE is showing and how it's contradicting what DHS And Obama have stated. Whether the agency has gone rougue or whether Napolitano and Obama knew and did nothing about it...well that's up to you to decide.

Anyway, here is the link to the Washington Post article:
