Janet Napolitano is the third Secretary of the Department of Homeland
Security and is leading our nation's collective efforts to secure our country
from the threats we face - from terrorism to natural disasters.
To counter the threat of terrorism, Napolitano has forged new partnerships
with international allies, and expanded information sharing with federal,
state and local law enforcement - building a collaborative effort to detect and
disrupt threats early on.
She has initiated a new, more strategic course to strengthen security
along our southwest border, deploying additional personnel and advanced technology,
while working closely with Mexico to combat violent international drug cartels - resulting
in increased seizures of illegal contraband along the border and throughout our country's
interior.
Napolitano also has forged a smart and effective approach to enforcing our immigration
laws and prioritizing public safety while targeting criminal aliens and aggressively pursuing
employers that knowingly take advantage of illegal labor.
She has strengthened the nation's ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from
disasters by cutting through red tape and expediting decision-making along the Gulf Coast,
providing new resources to build resilient communities and bolster their response capabilities,
and calling on all Americans to play a role in the shared responsibility of making our
homeland secure.
