NAPOLITNO A LIAR? HEAVEN FORBID (tongue in cheek)

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) wants an investigation of Homeland Security officials who lied about screening for illegal immigrants in local jails.

Legislator: Feds lied on immigration

The controversy revolves around the Secure Communities program which has been criticized for catching many illegal immigrant who were arrested but never charged or committed minor offenses – in addition to being illegally present in the U.S.

Despite the Secure Communities program being mandatory, and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich being fully aware that the program was mandatory, both of these officials have stated that cities could opt out of participating in it if they wished to do so. Sec. Napolitano and Asst. Attorney General Weich have yet to correct their statements about whether or not cities have the option to participate or not.

Intentional disregard of immigration law and policy such as this are responsible for allowing sanctuary cities to continue harboring and supporting illegal immigrants.
