Fret not -- our borders are more secure than they've ever been.

Harry Reid says emphatically that our borders are secure (but Harry Reid also says that paying taxes is voluntary). The White House says that today, border security is stronger than it has ever been. Tell that to the mother of the 9-year-old child who was molested by Israel Andrade.

Andrade, a stranger, broke into their Parker County home and fondled the child. He tried to coax her to go with him, but she screamed and he fled. They followed his footprints and discovered him at a nearby house with the child's underwear stuffed into his jeans.

What do we know about Andrade? He was deported in 2003. He was deported in 2004. He was deported in 2009. He was deported in 2010. That's one man who made it across the border at least five times.

So let not your heart be troubled -- Obama says our borders have never been more secure. . . that's if you don't count the more than 50,000 children who've been able to get by that tough security in recent months. And all the Israel Andrade's out there.
