Obama: America's Borders 'Just Too Vast' to Secure (Impeach him!)
News Max ^ | July 1, 2010 | Staff

Posted on 07/02/2010 4:51:30 PM PDT by yoe

President Barack Obama says America's borders are "just too vast" for the immigration problem to be solved with fences and border patrols alone.

He said that a comprehensive solution is needed, instead, urging one that holds everyone accountable, from illegal immigrants to the businesses that hire them.

Obama said the reality is, Republican support is needed to arrive at such a solution. Right now, GOP support is not forthcoming in an election year.

In his first major speech on immigration at president, Obama also spoke to the need to reform the system of legal immigration. That's a welcome message to advocates who contend too much emphasis has been placed on enforcing laws against illegal immigrants even as eligible citizenship applicants languish.

Obama blamed immigration policy gridlock on "political posturing and special interest wrangling."

In the speech Obama took Republicans to task, in particular 11 GOP senators who supported recent efforts to improve the immigration system. He did not name any in particular, but told his largely supportive audience at American University that those lawmakers had succumbed to the "pressures of partisanship and election-year politics."

It is not that America’s borders are too vast.

It is because America’s President is half-vast.

It’s not America’s vast borders that’s the problem.

It’s that America has a president with a half-vast attitude.

My husband likes the idea of land mines if there won’t be a fence.

What the hell is he talking about? The Chinese built a lot more wall than he needs BY HAND. And think of the jobs. All union, of course, and at the necessary hourly rates. I can’t believe he’s missing this opportunity. He has unlimited trillions of dollars left, too. Barry, you’re slipping, or do you have a secret agenda?

Dear Obama,
We do not want Comprehensive Immigration ‘Reform’. We want Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement. Do your job. Secure the Border.
Signed, Your Bosses, aka The People of the United States of America

It is his responsiblity to secure the borders no matter what. He’d better learn real quick otherwise we are at the mercy of any foreign invader.

The Kenyan’s hero Stalin didn’t have much trouble securing the borders of the USSR with just a bunch of guards armed with Kalashnikovs, dogs, barbed wire and a few watchtowers.

A fence and about 2500 marksmen training to be snipers should do it. Each guy gets about a half mile.

We would be clueless if we believed that the Islamists who hate us have not taken advantage of the open Southern border.

**NOTICE**

I’ll do it.

give me the resources, and i’ll have the job done within 2 years.

and by resources, i mean... everything i need. which may include some national guard to cover my work crews from fire coming from mexico... or libtards.

i’m serious. it can be done, you just have to think in large scale (which 0bama does not, at least not in problem solving). 20 man crew working a section should be able to complete 500-1000 feet within 6 months. each crew could do 2,000-4,000 ft in 2 years.

2000 miles is 10.5m feet... which would require 5,280 teams, or about 100k people. add to that the security force and the supply lines.

make the plans open to scrutiny and improvement for 6 months. settle on a design. determine the costs. determine the number of teams. put production goals and incentives in place. and hit the go button.

it’s doable... and with high unemployment is makes sense... but whether or not the ‘leadership’ has the desire is another story all together.

(of course, this begs the question... if the fedgov cannot secure the borders, then why are you taking money, taxes, for one of the few things you’re supposed to be doing??)

All of us do. It's obvious that he intends to destroy our country. I tried telling non-freepers. They laughed. They aren't laughing now.

” But he already has given up — given up on the lives of ranchers along the border, given up on our sovereignty, given up on control of American territory. “

He hasn’t given up. His plan is to destroy our sovereignty. That’s his goal!

I agree but he is the only one we can legally ship back to Kenya.

0bama is half-vast. Demand his resignation, impeachment takes too long.

When two war president Bush refused to even try to secure the border after 9/11, I knew he wasn't serious about winning any war and I doubted he was serious when he took his oath the second time.

Now obama tells us that we can't secure the border since our laws are unenforceable and that the border is more secure than ever.

We went from not serious to outright comical; is anyone laughing?

Article IV, Section 4. Just do it!

Not only do they lie under oath, their oath itself is a lie.

Posting signs like these has legal implications that go straight to the heart of American sovereignty. 0baMao has asserted that southern Arizona has been ceded to Mexico.

Gov. Brewer to President Obama ...(Must see video)

Look what they found near the Texas and Mexico border (See pix)
