White House: Migrants’ Privacy Trump Americans’ Right To Know [VIDEO]
The Daily Caller ^ | 16 Jul 2014 | Neil Munro

Posted on 07/16/2014 3:36:37 PM PDT by mandaladon

The White House won’t reveal where it is housing thousands of Central American juvenile migrants because their privacy rights trump Americans’ right to know what‘s happening in their neighborhoods, press secretary Josh Earnest declared July 16.

“The public does have a right to know what’s happening… [but] at the same time, there are privacy rights that are included in the law that this administration is committed to enforcing and following,” Earnest told Ed Henry, Fox News’ White House correspondent.

“We are not surprised in the least to see the Obama administration imitate the smugglers,” William Gheen, founder of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, told The Daily Caller. “This is how smuggling operations work, this is what the smuggler-in-chief wants — secret planes and secret buses full of illegal immigrants.”

GOP governors and legislators are also highlighting the administration’s secrecy. “They don’t want the public to know what is really going on,” Nebraska Republican Rep. Lee Terry told Fox News.

Terry has introduced a bill that would require federal disclosure of details about housing. However, Senate Democrats will likely block the bill if it is passed by the House.

For months, the federal government has hidden details about the inflow of migrants, such as the number of people arriving in “family units,” the number of migrants who have been allowed to seek residency via the immigration courts, and their education levels.

Officials have revealed that 57,000 Central American juvenile migrants have crossed the border since last October. Another 30,000 crossed in 2011 and 2012. Officials also expect up to 150,000 additional migrants to arrive in “family units.”

If these “migrants” have no ID documents, why are we believing them when they tell us they are not from Mexico? How is this administration able to quickly reunite these “children” with their “in the shadows” parents?

Not a surprise since Obama hates Americans and America - or maybe White Americans and White America, anyway.

Just think: our press puts our military and intelligence secrets all over their front pages because “The people have a right to know.”

But who the Democrats are importing to vote this fall? That’s all hands off. :)

Protests are a good idea, but we are dealing with a person who doesn’t give a damn what we think. His poll numbers mean nothing to him. Even if his media turned on him, he doesn’t care one bit. He is on a mission and that is that.
The only entity that can stop him is federal law enforcement and he has taken care of that issue with Eric Holder. We are in for a very rough ride for the next couple of years.

Oh BTW, thanks democrat party and your media for bringing us this national nightmare. We won’t forget.

So they’re not going to tell us who they’re bringing into the country illegally, but they’re spilling EVERY SINGLE TAX DETAIL about Tea Party groups to their liberal PACs.

Isn’t Obamaland great? The law abiding suckers get punished while the crooks go free. :)

OBAMA STEALS FROM OUR VETERANS TO HELP ILLEGAL ALIENS!

Obama BARRICADED VETERANS "because of lack of funds caused by the gov't shutdown":

Obama WELCOMES ILLEGAL ALIENS by flying them into various destinations in the United States at tax payer's expense:

Americans are spied on through cell phones, computers, drones but illegals have a right to privacy?

If this crap doesn’t outrage you, nothing will.

Obama has GOT TO GO!!!

“Illegal Aliens have rights to privacy?”

Meanwhile, alphabet agencies are tracking our phone calls, our e-mail, the websites we visit, and our political affiliations. Never mind, citizen. If you’ve done nothing wrong you nothing to fear.

And rights to fly without having to produce documentation. I’ll be TSA doesn’t molest them either in the name of checking for underwear bombs.

There are AMERICANS all over this country who can’t afford to fly their families to see Grandma, EVEN IF THIS IS GRANDMAS LAST YEAR OF LIFE.

Yet we have to pay for strangers who are not American to fly across our country, against our will??

We may as well be bleeping waving palm fronds over the ruling class at this point. Our country is dead.

When is someone halfway respectable going to get in front of a camera and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?? We need a leader. Our country is damn gone.

So what Earnest is saying is that the administration has found a portion of a law they are willing to enforce.

That’s one.

“It’s time to organize protests in front of the White House...Obama has gone too far.”

It’s time to blockade the runways.

Those two pics say it all.

Someone needs to do a side by pdf of them...including your captions.

Then, it needs to go viral...along with this article.

I was at IAH the other day and kept thinking the same thing. They have them flying in to terminals/hangars not being used by the general public, I believe.
