Get Ready for Denials

Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera accused Matt Drudge’s website of “the worst kind of jingoistic rhetoric ever” for carrying news stories about the dangers of illegal immigration. He said Drudge “is doing his best to stir up a civil war. I mean, shame on Matt Drudge.” Republican Rep. Todd Rokita and his Indiana delegation have been criticized for suggesting the possibility that Latin American children pouring across our southern border are carrying deadly diseases. Some of them have already been discovered to be carrying lice and suffering from disease. We’ve yet to find out what kind of communicable diseases they could spread to American children when schools across the country are forced to admit them.

Unfortunately, many people approach our recent southern border problem as a “humanitarian crisis” and hint that congressmen who want to make securing our border our No. 1 priority are, as President Barack Obama says, “mean.” Others who argue for border security run the risk of being dismissed as racists. The Democrats are hoping that painting the Republicans as mean racists will help them with the Latino vote in November.

Securing our border is not only an immigration issue but, more importantly, a national security issue. International terrorists know that our southern border is insecure. They can simply fly to a Latin American country and then sneak across the border with deadly germ or chemical warfare weapons and dirty bombs, which could be planted anywhere.

According to Breitbart, “a leaked intelligence analysis from the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reveals the exact numbers of illegal immigrants entering and attempting to enter the U.S. from more than 75 different countries.” It reports that 28 “individuals from Pakistan were caught attempting to sneak into the U.S. this year alone, with another 211 individuals either turning themselves in or being caught at official ports of entry.” Texas Gov. Rick Perry says that the number of apprehended illegal aliens who come from countries with “substantial terrorist ties” is at a record high, countries such as Yemen, Somalia and Saudi Arabia.

On top of this, individuals from nations currently suffering from the world’s largest Ebola outbreak have been caught attempting to sneak into the U.S.

Deroy Murdock’s article titled “The Southern Border: Our Welcome Mat for Terrorists,” for National Review Online (April 25, 2013), reports that “Somalia’s Ahmed Muhammed Dhakane told authorities in 2011 that he earned up to $75,000 per day smuggling East Africans into America. His clients included three al-Shabaab terrorists. As the House report states: ‘Dhakane cautioned that each of these individuals is ready to die for their cause and would fight against the United States if the jihad moved from overseas to the U.S. mainland.’” Many Syrians and Iranians have been caught making illegal entry. Both Syria and Iran are supporters of Hezbollah, have chemical weapons and materials for dirty bombs, and hate “the Great Satan.”

Murdock makes reference to the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Oversight and Management Efficiency study titled “A Line in the Sand: Countering Crime, Violence and Terror at the Southwest Border.” It explained that between September 2001 and September 2012, there were 59 homegrown violent jihadi plots within the United States. The study said that the more violent threat to Americans is the ability of Islamist terrorist organizations, resulting from their growing presence in the Western Hemisphere, to exploit our porous southwestern border and enter the United States undetected.

Here are some questions that should be of concern to every American: Can the U.S. Customs and Border Protection assure Americans that it has arrested every terrorist attempting to make illegal entry to our country? Can it assure us that there are no terrorist cells operating in our country and awaiting word from our enemies to attack us? There’s another question that’s just as important: If there is a terrorist attack through our southern border, will Americans allow President Obama, congressional Democrats, the news media and progressives and liberals to deny that their weak border security policy was responsible?

Because of the early news coverage of Ebola and other coverage of disease bearing illegals, together with the rapid transport of these individuals to places throughout the country, it almost has the appearance to me that Obama himself is perpetrating a biological attack on the country. How convenient that he had set up a security force in Obamacare and signed an executive order authorizing detention of American citizens suspected of having certain diseases . . . typical CommieRat tactic: create a crisis and then ride to the rescue by torching basic individual rights to effect the fix. Sit back and watch the evil plan unfold.

Amnesty is noting more than a plan to destroy the middle class of America by swamping the US electorate via a demographic tsunami of illiterate illegal aliens who dilute the voting power of middle class working people.

These Third World voters will owe allegiance to the Democrats who give them welfare hand outs to make them 100 % dependent upon government and the Democrat Power.

This is exactly what has occurred in Venezuela and had allowed Hugh Chavez to take over the country and turn it into a dictatorship where people fight over toilet paper.

It is also happening in Great Britain with illegals from Muslim countries.

People in the US need to wake up and understand we are engaged in a war on the American people from an above progressive elite to control the direction of our country .

This is what Obama means when he is talking fundamental transformation of America

But first they have to get to and through Mexico. Either Mexican security is totally lax OR Mexican authorities are deliberately enabling them. Either is unacceptable. BUILD THE WALL, NOW!

That is why we MUST take control of the senate, insist on voter ID and get in the face of any legislator who will not do what is necessary to secure the border(s). In their face in the most public way, so it can't be ignored by the enemdia.

Wait until motion sensors indicate terrorist presence in tunnels. Shaped charge explosive weapon dropped into Rio Grande above tunnel. Rio Grande fills tunnel, drowns terrorists. Lather, rinse, repeat.

For non-river crossing locations, HE bombs in earth penetrating mode. Follow up with napalm or fuel-air explosive. Repeat as necessary.

BUILD THE WALL, NOW!

The problem is not the lack of a wall, the problem is there is no penalty for crossing the wall.

An old James Garner movie "Support Your Local Sheriff" had a jail without any bars, so he drew a line on the floor, sprinkled a little red paint on the floor and explained the penalty for crossing the line. Funny movie, did a near copy in "Support Your Local Gunfighter"

Build the wall now

It's way past a wll. Enabling the hordes entering the US at will across our southern border should be regarded as an act of war. I fear that even the "conservative" 'pubs are just playing a game, compaining until it's to late to reverse this outrage. Meanwhile, the ptb can't get ONE SOLDIER out of a Mexican jail. I'd wager if Rick Perry wanted to go rogue he could do something inconvenient enough to Mexico, like close a highway to and from Mexico, until that soldier is free.

It's too late for a wall. A real gov that cared about US citizens would recognize that Mexico committed an act of war, letting those invaders get to our border. A 10-mile wide DMZ south of the Rio Grande would be much more appropriate.

Drudge should feel honored for being singled out by the cross dressing degenerate Geraldo. Hey Geraldo, go find some trannies to whine to about Matt and see what that gets you.
You are not nor have you ever been relevant you sick puppy.
