GOP Congressman Compares Migrant Children Crossing The US Border To The D-Day Invasion
Business Insider ^ | July 12 2014 | David M Brooks

For Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), the Border Patrol and the National Guard might not be enough to stem the flow of children that have recently created a crisis at our border. But he has an idea — war ships.

In a speech on the House floor on Friday, Gohmert encouraged Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas) "to use whatever means, whether it’s troops, even using ships of war."

Gohmert has suggested that the National Guard be used to secure the border, but his latest border policy seems to come from the belief that the United States is under an enemy invasion.

Gohmert, repeatedly referring to the influx of child migrants as an "invasion," said that Texas is a "state that is being invaded — in our case more than twice as many just in recent months, more than twice as many than invaded France on D-Day with a doubling of that coming en route."

And while the soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy were looking to liberate France, Gohmert believes those currently crossing the U.S. border are drawn by benefits, according to Newsmax.

A better comparison might be the Mariel Boatlift, this time caused by the US President instead of Fidel Castro.

Break the narrative. These are not children.

I can’t think of a better comparison. They definitely aren’t coming here to “do the jobs Americans don’t want to do”.

U.S. Constitution, Article 4, Section 4: "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion..."

The feral government is not merely not protecting each state from invasion, it is engineering the invasions.

From this point forward, the US feral government is officially rogue and should be dealt-with with extreme prejudice.

.
And he is right, with the exception that any country being invaded will IMMEDIATELY close its border and start mobilizing.

The war right now is with Mexico for sending these illegals into the US — close the border NOW and let Mexico take care of them.

Some here can’t even see past the children, which, of course, was behind the design of this invasion.

Poor comparison. D-day was to save America, what is happening today is to destroy America.
