Janet Napolitano admitted to Congress that deporting students that would be protected by the DREAM is too resource-intensive for her agencies to enforce (Fox News<\/a> link);<\/p>\n

Questioned about DHS enforcement Tuesday at a Senate hearing on the DREAM Act, Napolitano confirmed that the department is not interested in deporting “DREAM Act students.” <\/p>\n

“We have provided information about what it would take to do removal of everyone in the country. It’s obvious that those resources aren’t available, and when you’re talking about DREAM Act students, it really doesn’t make sense,” Napolitano said.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So it doesn’t make sense to enforce the law as it currently exists. Good attitude for a law enforcement officer.<\/p>\n

Than as if she’s having an argument with herself, Napolitano continues;<\/p>\n

At the same time, Napolitano denied that the recent ICE memo was being used to get around the failure of Congress to pass the DREAM Act. She said the administration’s enforcement of illegal immigration is “unparalleled,” but that federal officials are trying to make that enforcement as effective as possible. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unparalleled in the sense that they’re not bothering to enforce the laws? <\/p>\n

“We simply don’t see appropriations necessary in order to remove everyone who is technically removable from the United States, so we have to set priorities,” Napolitano said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, if millions of people started robbing banks, the FBI wouldn’t bother to investigate because of appropriations? If everyone started driving 70 mph through the streets of Washington, the MPD wouldn’t write them tickets? If every street corner had a drug dealer on it, no one would do anything about it?<\/p>\n
