Obama aides were warned of brewing border crisis
Washington Post ^ | July 19, 2014 | By David Nakamura, Jerry Markon and Manuel Roig-Franzia

Nearly a year before President Obama declared a humanitarian crisis on the border, a team of experts arrived at the Fort Brown patrol station in Brownsville, Tex., and discovered a makeshift transportation depot for a deluge of foreign children.

The researchers’ observations were among the warning signs conveyed to the Obama administration over the past two years as a surge of Central American minors has crossed into south Texas illegally. More than 57,000 have entered the United States this year, swamping federal resources and catching the government unprepared.

The administration did too little to heed those warnings, according to interviews with former government officials, outside experts and immigrant advocates, leading to an inadequate response that contributed to this summer’s escalating crisis.

That is mind blowing, and I am inclined to believe it. Now what to do about it. When will the general public finally get it.

I am reading “Faithless Execution” by Andrew McCarthy right now, and the laundry list of impeachable offenses listed there is overwhelming already, but if there were/are federal contractors bringing these people TO OUR BORDER, what is there left to say?

Crisis? What crisis? They’re here to be sold into sexual slavery, and do other jobs Americans won’t do.

He does not listen to anyone. He has his own agenda.

This WP article was actually discussed on Meet the Press today and even Andrea Mitchell seemed to be a little critical of the administration for failing to respond earlier.

I’ve suspected they’re being brought up since day one. If they travelled that far over that terrain they’d be emaciated and wearing rags. Our only hope is the military taking over.

“..Warned?! Hell, they CREATED it.....”

Yes sir! All those nice shiny new buses that are carrying the illegals all probably all bought and paid for with taxpayer dollars. This has been planned for some time. If someone can get the plate number off them and run them to find out who “owns” the buses. Nothing would surprise me who’s the owner.

a.k.a. Washington Compost Partisan Media Shills try to deflect blame from Obama’s recent deliberate manufacturing of a crisis via illegal means, onto some aides who would, at most, be reassigned to different departments after a short investigation.

Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.

When you see a crisis as an opportunity to "do things we normally wouldn't be able to do", then when you want to do something you normally wouldn't be able to do, you start looking for ways to create a crisis.

And that's exactly what they did.

“warned” my foot.

This was totally orchestrated. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been making travel & logistic arrangements far in advance.

No, he does listen someone, that person being Valerie Jarrett. He is implementing her vision.
