Border Security: President Obama's executive amnesty doesn't just spare the illegals who "mow our lawns" and "make our beds." It also springs from local jails criminals held for deportation, putting them back on the street.

In fact, Obamanesty increases the chances they'll commit dangerous crimes in our cities.
According to a new memo from Department of Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson to ICE officials, the administration is gutting an immigration enforcement program Secure Communities responsible for identifying and deporting tens of thousands of dangerous criminals who are in the country illegally and already in police custody for other crimes.

FReepers & Lurkers, man the FReepathon.
Check all wallets, piggy banks and stashes fore and aft.
Take what you can afford and send to Free Republic.
Do not throw extra cash over fantail.
These are the actions of a government at war with its own citizens and which intends to change the population to one that is more accustomed to a corrupt banana republic.
Well said, there’s no doubt about it.
The turkey warned our entire nation when he ran in 2008 of that and the idiots elected him in spite of it.
I hope the incoming congress can pass legislation that will assist the president to those ends.
