Cartels corrupt border agents
By: WIRE EDITOR Burlington County Times

McAllen, Texas

Mexican drug cartels are infiltrating federal law enforcement agencies along the southwest border and those charged with weeding them out say they don’t have the money to catch all the corrupt agents, homeland security officials told a U.S. Senate panel Thursday.

James Tomsheck, assistant commissioner with U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Internal Affairs, told a Senate homeland security subcommittee in Washington that only about one in 10 of the new hires for agency jobs are given polygraph tests, and of those, 60 percent are deemed unsuitable for employment.

Just thinking the same thing.
He must be enjoying the chaos he creates. The opposition to his agenda is really kept busy running around putting out ‘fires’.

You are correct. Barry is always toting a gas can to the next fire. How the hell can this country survive for the next 34 months?

If unemployment were around 6%, this might have a chance.
If they grant amnesty, the black community (many of whom do the jobs that immigrants will take) will be gone, pffft.
With double-digit unemployment, this thing is more nuclear than obamacare...

Because this country is the American people.
If obamacare passes, it will be tied up in the courts for a long time, same with immigration.

Pepto will set up a booth on the way out.

There are three more big bills coming after this...
1. A Public Option amendment added to a must pass bill
2. An Assault Weapons Ban
3. Drastic cuts to the military, passed off as “Spending cuts” (But no welfare cuts)
4 (Potential) Resumption of AFDC.

Employers currently have the ability to find out who is a citizen and who is not. They choose to look the other way and no one is willing to enforce the law.

It is not a matter of needing new ID cards or new laws. It is simply a matter of being willing to enforce existing laws, and apparently people just don’t care.

My office is located right next to a large landscaping company and I’d be willing to bet there isn’t a single American citizen working for them. They are ALL illegal aliens.

No Americans need apply.

Juan McCain and Lindsay Graham are the same people.

McCain is up for election but if he were not he would be out in front on this.

Undermining their opposition through deligitimization. If they take on immigration reform, it’s sure to erupt into a very nasty debate - they can attack the tea party people, conservatives, etc., as rascists, crazy right-wingers, etc., while motivating their own base - including their large latino base, which also happens to be a player in many of the key western states that are on the fence for Novemember.

Of course...Tens of millions entering our country illegally has compromised and undermined our very electoral process.

This is the only strategy that will work. Attrition. If the economic impetus for their coming is removed, they will go.

The pols want amnesty more than the illegals do. They don’ care about no steenkin’ citizenship; they get more goodies as-is.

We have laws up to the eyeballs but they are not being E-N-F-O-R-C-E-D.

That's an ignorant thing to say to me. I have never called for deporting illegal aliens en masse.

Do those things and they will deport themselves in short order.

Rove and Bush in their attempt to create a permanent GOP majority tried this stunt as part of their global central planning brilliance.

Let the left own this. Their big constituents, labor unions, are against it.

Let them have a circular firing squad and get your popcorn ready.

Doesn’t matter. By the time the Democrats are done destroying the country nobody will want to migrate here anymore.
