Wouldnt $3.7 Billion better be used to build a concrete wall across the border of the United States? The fence that the American people were promised when President George W. Bush signed the Secure Fence Act of 2006 saying This bill will help protect the American people. This bill will make our borders more secure. It is an important step toward immigration reform."
The Fence Act passed the Senate 80-19 and approved $1.2 billion to be used to build a physical barrier more then 700 miles along the Mexico-United States border.
Therefore, with 3x the budget being spent to care and detain unaccompanied children, overtime for border patrol officers and legal aid, wouldnt it be make more sense to actual fulfill the law in place and eliminate the majority of the problem?
At this point, anything built would be better then what we have now which is simply a non-existent border where people can literally walk into the United States, as Santa Cruz AZ Sherriff Tony Estrada said on the Dan Maduri Show.
In a press conference on Wednesday night, President Obama refused to acknowledge the fact that his Dream Act, as well as his 2012 Executive Order of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, is what motivated this surge of illegal children. The President continued his normal pass the blame policy, putting the blame on the Republican lead House of Representatives for the problem because they have not passed a comprehensive immigration reform bill.
Specifically calling out the Texas delegation, President Obama pushed for his supplemental bill to be passed immediately with comprehensive reform to closely follow.
President Obama trying to appeal to conservatives touted that he had a very productive meeting with Texas Governor Rick Perry as well had deported more then 2 million people, which is more then any other administration. The truth is however that President Obama has also halted the deportations of spouses, children, and parents of Armed Forces personnel as well with the DACA if an illegal is granted status they can stay here for two years. But there's no promise it will last and no way to citizenship. But for the hundreds of thousands illegals who are already who have it, it is a huge start.
If this President really wanted to solve this crisis, he could immediately activate the National Guard to the border saying this is a National Security threat and then turn around and ask Congress to continue the funding to keep the troops in place until the fence was completed.
However, that would be considered creating solutions not playing politics, something this President is not known for doing.
Sherriffs interview can be heard here.
If they don’t fix this soon we will and I don’t think they will like the way we fix it. The American people are getting fed up.
This is the end of America. As Milton Friedman observed you can’t create a welfare nation and at the same time allow unfettered immigration , legal or illegal. If you do at some point you will suffer a complete collapse of your economy, your society and your nation. This recent deluge of illegals(notice that it’s mother and children, to maximize the propaganda angle) is a strategy that Obama and his henchmen have devised(Cloward-Piven) to finish this nation off. He won’t go to the border because he doesn’t need to. He knows what he’s doing. His plan is working out. I simply am furious at this as are most of you. God forgive me but I hate Mexicans. I can’t stand the sight of them.
U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, AND SHALL PROTECT EACH OF THEM AGAINST INVASION.
This exactly the purpose of that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and the rats are helping him to achieve it.
THAT is the right thing to do — instead of coddling or chasing the ones here already, we need to stop FURTHER invasion.
Bush had three years to build a physical barrier. He would have had more if he had pushed the bill in his first year as president instead of pushing for amnesty. His administration also pushed the “virtual fence”, giving defense contractors billions of dollars for technology that won’t stop one person from crossing, instead of concrete and barbed wire fencing that has been proven to work for centuries. Had Bush made this a priority, we’d have a physical fence and fewer illegals clamoring for social services.
Another epic George W. Bush failure. Given that he and his father have always pushed the globalist agenda, not a surprise. With Jeb we get more of the same.
Politicians, journalists keep referring to the illegals, the “UAC’s” as “Children”. Curious if these “children” are really “children” anymore. Perhaps physically they are, but once they have been twisted, morphed, adulterated to widgets, and manipulated to motivate in predetermined political directions are they still recoverable as “children”?
The Left also sees no problem with “children” in the stewardship of homosexuals. I see evil “It’s for the children” Leftist’s using innocents as a tool.
Back to the point though is why are we calling them “UAC’s”, and “Children” when we should call them what they are “illegal invaders”. Why do we allow the Left to put the word “Children”, and “UAC’s” in our mouths.
There's no need to mourn the end of a nation that has done so much to promote its own demise.
Why do we reward bad behavior on the part of the pResident? Congress should not authorize Obama one penny! As a matter of fact, they should CUT his funding by X% each month until he seals the border. Cut funding for AF-1. Cut funding for the Secret Service. Then if he wants to take vacations, he can pay for his flight and his security out of his pocket. Cut the DHS and DOJ budgets likewise. Cut DOJ X% per month until they appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the IRS scandal. Cut the IRS budget X% per month until they provide all information Congress asks for. Obama has the inherent authority to reprogram funds within budget lines, and can ask Congress for reprogramming authority where he does not already have that authority. It seems his answer to everything is to throw money at it. He can be trained to do otherwise and make the difficult funding choices he is supposed to be doing.
It is a sacrifice to Moloch. Once upon a time, it was blatant -- people took screaming children and threw them into raging fires. Today, we are somewhat more subtle, but we still sacrifice children as part of our evil deeds -- and we justify it because "kids need our help".
We are a sick and evil society.
It won’t be built for the same reason it hasn’t been built for generations: It would keep illegal aliens out!
When will opposition to this dire threat to the very existence of this republic take the form of anything but talk? Don’t get me wrong; I’m not implying that I know the answer as to what to do to change talk to action. We at FR know what should be done about the crisis but not how to make it happen.
“Homeland Security” has now become the Boarder Patrol. Come on in and they’ll make sure they put you up in some new digs costing the U.S. taxpayers $6054 per month.
This is why you're not seeing any pushback from Crybaby Boner and Turtle McConnell, when Border Security would be the Winning Issue in this fall's elections.
We still do that...they're called Abortion Clinics. For example, over 12 million black babies have been lynched by Abortionists since 1973.

I loathed the entire Statist bush clan.
It is in the record that if 9-11 didn't happen Bush was going to make 100% Amnesty his #1 priority.
I wonder what the coming here for love Bush family has to say about this ongoing invasion by anti-English, anti-American third world criminals? They are very quiet (but likely smiling)
Put the blame to where it belongs. Not on President Bush. It is that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and the rats who do not want to fix the boarder, and you darn well know that.
Another thing: Get over your BDS
Get over your BDS
LOL. It isn't derangement.
A purely rational review of all the the Bush policies will show them to be pure Statists. The Bush family worships at the Alter of State Power.
You Bush lovers make me laugh.
P.S. Did I tell you I loathe the Statist Bush clan?? :)
