The fools in this administration think that neither terrorism or pandemic is enough to close the border and keep the swarm of disease carrying refugees from entering our country.
Send Napolitano south to the border to ask the diseases to stay south with other hosts.
Her answer to not close the borders makes me think of a guy with pancreatic cancer who keeps smoking because he already has cancer and getting more is not a big deal. Sure, it might kill him - the host- but that is not a concern. Is that how this Administration is thinking? Kill the host?

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano defended the government's response at a press conference Monday afternoon as reporters asked her about the risk of asymptomatic swine flu carriers entering the country.Napolitano said the strategy of identifying and isolating those who seem ill and try to cross into the United States was adequate given the circumstances, as a reporter asked if closure of the border had been considered.
"We're already doing passive surveillance at the border," Napolitano said. "You would close the border if you thought you could contain the spread of disease, but the disease already is in a number of states within the United States."
Noting that those infected with swine flu may not show symptoms for a few days, Napolitano said border closure is "a very difficult judgment to make."
Napolitano said Sunday night that there was no "realistic hope of containment" that would motivate a border closure, as was called for Saturday by Rep. Eric Massa (D-N.Y.).
