Border stat posted, and then removed

Most of the people the Border Patrol stopped from sneaking into the country last year were from countries other than Mexico, according to agency statistics, a shift that might have provided fodder for politicians leading up to Tuesday’s election.

But they didn’t get much of a chance. The Border Patrol’s annual statistics were posted on the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Web site for about five hours on Oct. 10, then taken down.

Now some are questioning whether that decision was an example of the Obama administration playing politics with public information.

Even before Tuesday, the administration said it was waiting until after the elections to deal with immigration reform so that any losses would not be blamed on the Democrats’ proposal. For some, removing the apprehension statistics — which both parties could use to criticize U.S. immigration laws — was a political move.

They held onto this story since Oct 11?

As things turned out, taking down the news from the Border site probably had little to no effect on the total election outcome.

Surprisingly, neither did fraudulent voting.

Now it’s high time to fix both.

You have proof?

While fraud goes both ways... it probably goes in one particular direction much Much MUCH more than the other. Now, consider the results in VA and NH for Senate.

Yes, I do have proof.

Just read the pundits, they aren’t calling this a wave election for Republicans, they are calling it a tsunami.

Not if the NWO gets their say, so how many of them are freemasons? Then you will know.

I think the new immigrant fraudulent voters were misjudged by Obama. They come to this country to WORK, not to go on the dole. These people have a conservative work ethic and are radically different politically from the generational welfare trough feeders who have been here for years. Obama’s scheme backfired.

Some? Some are questioning this? It should be every person in the country questioning this....

Assuming you’re right and “conservative” illegal aliens voted GOP, it was a FRAUDULENT vote!

You gotta be a citizen to legally vote, right?

‘Nuff said.

Could be a result of deliberately allowing Mexicans to get through. Therefore the OTM count would spike.

Uh, I have it on pretty good authority that they come here to be on the dole. They know BEFORE they come exactly where to go to get all the freebies....welfare, healthcare, housing, etc.

I honestly wouldn’t have a clue where to go but they sure do and without speaking a word of English to get directions.
