He did engineer this! BUT he thought the sight of thousands of children at the border with dead childrens bodies being found in the desert would move the debate in the democrats direction.
Luckily for us, it did just the opposite, and now a near super majority want us to close the border and for us to deport ASAP all these illegals.
Poor Obama, he can't even orchestrate a crisis properly!
Yup. This really backfired. I remember thinking to myself earlier this week that the “left” always manages to misjudge the strength of their hand and assume that a majority of Americans think and feel as they do. They forget that they are only about 20-25% of the country’s population.
The problem in the border is not with the number of illegals being caught. The problem is that between new federal laws granting more legal recourse to children, and administration policies towards "Other than Mexicans" the system lacks throughput and is bogged down.
Once we realize what the problem is, then the solution becomes more clear. This is wear the President and the Democrats show tip their hands. The obvious solution is to mobilize National Guard units in certain categories. First would Spanish speakers and MPs to do the processing, and incarceration. I don't mention Civil Affairs because they have had a fairly high tempo over the last 12 years. Lakota units with EO/IR kits would be helpful for filling the gaps in air coverage. All of this would allow BP agents to go back out into the field.
