Neither does the mainstream media and the Catholic Church, so Obozo is in good company.
If the borders are closed the supply of illegal drugs will diminish and the price will rise. Many who use drugs will be priced out of the market, others will have to work (steal) harder to maintain their use. Crime will skyrocket, there will be rioting in the streets, and martial law will have to be declared. Even worse a major source of funding for criminals on both sides of the law will be removed. When/ if it happens, Tea Partiers and Republicans will be blamed.
Ping!
Thinking ahead, the North American Union concept envisions Canada, the US and Mexico with thousands of miles of open sea border with ONLY a narrow border at the Southern tip of Mexico as the only land border necessary to control...the only way to walk, bicycle, ride out of the NAU would be at that border, period. Flight or water transportation out are easily regulated, controlled. Mexico requires little budget or effort to control that border. Could it be that the NAU concept is really not shelved and is quietly awaiting implementation? Could it be that lack of control of our current border with Mexico is to remain in limbo until the NAU is accomplished? The NAFTA highway continues unabated in Canada.
Currently, in the meanwhile, the drug cartels are openly challenging the US/Mexico border and are gaining strength and territory controlled, even as the Border Patrol are denied access to US Dept. of Interior and Agriculture administered lands at the border with Mexico. Who knows what is occurring on the Dept. of the Interior lands, or what is passing through after having “camped” there for a while?
Umm, we could and did ask the same question about his predecessor.
Why should Obama care about border security, he’s not an American.
Lets admit that GW and Clinton also treated illegal immigration as joke. They all do. They laugh at us in DC where there is never a recession
Because they are future Democrat voters!
Why Did Bush Not Take Border Security Seriously?
Same reason. He thought (hoped) they were future Republican voters. Also, he has Hispanics in his own family. I don't think they would have approved.
