Former Obama campaign bundler and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson testified in front of the House Homeland Security yesterday and was peppered with questions from lawmakers about the terrorism threat presented by a lack of border enforcement and security. As usual, Johnson gave unconcerned, non-detailed answers.
Megyn Kelly & Jason Chaffetz On Terrorists Using Southern Border On Sept 10 2011 The Kelly File
First off, what you didn't see in the clip above was Johnson's attempt yesterday to shill for illegal immigration reform as Americans raise more concerns about a lack of border security. During an answer to another lawmaker about how to prevent terrorists from going undetected inside the United States, Johnson made the absurd argument that a "legal process" for citizenship would prevent terror infiltration and encourage terrorists to come forward and turn themselves in. That suggestion is not only unhelpful but politically motivated garbage. Second, if Johnson got out of his cushy D.C. office once in awhile to actually talk to Border Patrol agents on the ground, he would know that radical Islamists crossing the southern border into the United States from Mexico is nothing new. Unfortunately, a lack of enforcement from Homeland Security to stop those crossings isn't new either. What is new in this scenario is a threat from ISIS and intelligence agencies have picked up chatter in the past few weeks showing the terror army is looking at the southern border as a possible way to gain access to the United States. Homeland Security officials have also confirmed this possibility in testimony to Congress.
Meanwhile, little has been done at the State Department to revoke passports of Americans knowingly fighting with ISIS in Syria or Iraq.

It just dawned on me. DUH!
You know why they don’t care?
In the talks of the North American Union, the main tenets were that Canada, the United States, and Mexico would establish a perimeter on the exterior, and drop the perimeter between nations. All security would be executed on the outer perimeter.
They think Mexico is vetting those who enter it’s territory.
It also explains why we don’t have border enforcement.
The North American Union is a least in several observable ways, a reality. It can’t be seen to be official, so the checkpoints remain. That’s just for show.
Now it begins to make sense.
Incompetence has become a badge of pride with the Obama administration, top to bottom and all across the board.
This CYA official couldn’t care less about preventing terrorism - he’s too busy focusing on American citizens who are ‘ideologically unsound.’
Is he an upgrade or a downgrade to Janet “Big Sis” Napolitano? I can’t tell.
Perhaps DHS is right; there may be little threat of ISIS crossing the border and launching an attack inside the US.
So, if DHS is right, that means that the DHS/Feds are essentially operating and in control of ISIS. The 0bama & US government may be restraining ISIS on the border for now (as bot to stop amnesty), but using ISIS to provoke a war in the Mideast.
I want to know which one of these idiots we can blame and punish when the terrorist kill hundreds or thousands of Americans? Even the dumbest liberal knows that the terrorist will use our open borders to kill Americans. I want to know who we will hold responsible when the inevitable happens?
I wouldn’t be surprised to see a mall terror attack, or, God forbid, even a Beslan type event. These Islamists are soul-less devil-worshipping monsters.
Yep, and it started way before Hussien. They know most Americans won't willingly accept it so they are doing it covertly in spite of public opinion. Don't worry, our elites know what is best for us. /s
Does anyone remember Amos 'n Andy ??? They were professionals compared to ANYONE in the 0bama regime.
This is news? This is a two party problem.
Dubya should have gotten serious about our borders on 9-12. Instead he tried to ram amnesty through.
Barky didn’t have to change a thing. He is just using Dubya’s Open Border playbook.
I agree. It’s why I don’t trust any of them.
One thing I am pretty sure of. Reagan would not parcel off our sovereignty.
That’s right.
I just told another poster that’s why I don’t trust any of them.
I also said, I am quite sure Reagan wouldn’t have parceled off our sovereignty.
I think that’s part of the reason the RNC GOPe et al, were so pissed that he connect to the public, and their plans were put back nearly ten years.
Reagan did sign a small amnesty, but he did it on the up and up. And he made sure there were new legislation to make sure it didn’t happen again.
Then B1 Clinton B2 and Hussein refused to enforce that new legislation.
Of course Jeh the Obama stooge is unconcerned about border security.
He doesn’t want to interfere with the arrival of all those undocumented democrats.
Disgusting.
Yes, with a strong touch of 'stupid' and a perchance for thin-skin overreaction to perceived 'dissing'...
“Reagan did sign a small amnesty, but he did it on the up and up. And he made sure there were new legislation to make sure it didn’t happen again.”
Reagan assumed that his own party would at least have enough respect for law to follow through on the enforcement provisions in his 1986 amnesty bill.
The joke was on Ronnie. The GOPe had absolutely no intention of obeying that law and they still don’t. Bush 1 didn’t lift a finger to enforce the law and his fool of a son was even worse with his attempt to ram yet another amnesty through.
In retrospect the 1986 amnesty was a terrible idea and it will be used by the GOP establishment to continually push for amnesty after amnesty.
When there was talk about it in ‘86, I was against it. It was the idea you reward criminality. The talk was about the 1 million it would give amnesty to. I didn’t like it, but when passed I figured 1 million wasn’t so bad.
Then it was revealed it actually gave amnesty to 3.5 million.
Then there was the message it sent that once illegals were here, they could expect another amnesty. That was probably the worst part of it.
I think Reagan was even then one of the last people who actually gave a S about our nation. His own staff wasn’t even always on the same page with him. I don’t think he always got the best of advice, and on this one I think he was served poorly. He should have been warned about the ramifications. If he had been, I’ll bet he would have refused to back the legislation.
To him, there was a real problem even at 1 million. He wanted to fix it before it got worse.
The one-worlders saw it different.
B1 and Clinton allowed in three times as many people as had been allowed in over the prior 30 years.
That family sure worked it’s magic. B1 ushered in Clinton. B2 ushered in Hussein.
To the Obama administration the policy letting illegals freely walk across the border isn’t a loophole in the law - it’s a feature.
Jeh Johnson - another Affirmative Action incompetent.
“Then it was revealed it actually gave amnesty to 3.5 million.”
And then the Chain Migration built into our immigration law kicked in and that number tripled.
Plus the Third World heard loud and clear that if you sneak into the United States you just have to lay low for a few years and then the elitists in the Republican party will join with the Democrats to push for more and more amnesty.
A Wall Street firm ran their own survey of the illegal alien population in the United States for one of their clients. Since it wasn’t for political propaganda so they didn’t care what the number is, they just wanted it to be accurate.
Their study said 30 million illegal aliens. And this was several years ago, so you know that the number is higher today.
The enemy that will kill off the United States isn’t ISIS or one of the other military threats to the United States. The enemies that will finish off the historic American people are the Democratic and Republican party elites, and they will do it through amnesty and mass third world immigration.
They won’t do it because they intend to sell out their country. They’ll do it because they really don’t care what happens next as long as they get some short term political gain.
