Dare We Hope?

Will the Obama Administration's pick of Janet Napolitano for Homeland Security bring a little common sense to the table?

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary-designate Janet Napolitano promised at her confirmation hearing on Thursday to step up pressure on companies that hire illegal immigrants, and key senators said they would move to approve her nomination swiftly.

"You have to deal with illegal immigration from the demand side, as well as the supply side" by working with the Justice Department to prosecute companies that hire illegal workers, the Arizona governor said.

Napolitano, 51, was roundly praised by members of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, who said they would move to confirm her as soon as possible after Democratic President-elect Barack Obama takes office on January 20.

Napolitano has criticized the federal program to build a fence along the border with Mexico. "I don't think I would be giving good advice to the committee if I said that's the best way to protect our border," she said at her confirmation hearing.
