If this was true, the dems would want a sequester every day.

How much of the DHS’s share of the sequestration would be met by cancelling those orders for hollow point ammunition that they have no legitimate use for? (If it’s really for training, let them shoot cheaper rounds on the range.)

Someday they’ll play the same kind of tax increase blackmail with obamacare, threatening the public with the consequences of service cuts, particularly to seniors and children.

"...These sequester cuts will make it tougher to secure the border and fight terrorism..."

How about furloughing Secretary Janet Napolitano and about 75% of her department. The ONLY part we should keep is border security. And beef that up.

I’ve got a suggestion for you, Madame Secretary: take one for the team. If you are worried that your Department won’t have enough money for the agents in the field, voluntarily turn back your own salary and use the money to pay them.

Dear Janet, the people of the United States are waiting for you to do your job and start enforcing our immigration laws! Instead, you have opted out and have chosen not to enforce them.

If Sequestration results in “cuts”, how would we recognize your pre-Sequestration activities in enforcing the law with its post-Sequestration version? Hint: there isn't any.

Sure am happy that Napolitano declared our borders "safer than they've ever been!"

Otherwise, I might have some concern, especially in places like ElPaso and other semi-dangerous areas that I had thought to be unsafe but thanks to Napolitano's assurances, I'm feeling pretty good, even with her Sequister threats.

It's getting hysterically funny with all of the Obama folk (MSM as well) making as many scarey threats over as many areas as they are being forced to do!

I accidentally caught a snippet of Fox News where the Sec. of the Navy was trying as much as possible to sound like "the sky is falling, really, really this time" earlier today. His eyes were open as wide as Nancy Pelosi's, and not for the same reason.

I just muted the TV and watched as he tried sounding like the Martians were landing and we couldn't do a thing to stop them, without Republicans caving on the Sequister!

I'm almost convinced that on Saturday, if Republicans don't cave, and that looks more and more likely with each passing hour, I'll be forced to drink contaminated water, eat spoiled food, have no medicine available, cops unavailable to stop criminals, every Mexican Drug Lord, or roofer looking for work, walking across our Southern border, houses burning to the ground without firefighters to fight fires, children hanging out at the malls because schools are closed, the elderly who don't know who they are, set out on curbs because retirement homes are closed, dogs and cats running lose everywhere as animal shelters are forced to close, parents being forced to feed and care for their own children as daycare centers close, and airplanes that do take off, dropping out of the skies because their are no air traffic controllers to guide them safely to their landing strips.

These threats are so bad, they make global warming alarms sound tame!

Let's get real here. The so-called 'Sequester' is a mere 2% cut in the rate of growth of the federal budget (which we haven't had for some years now anyway).

Not one thin dime is going to be "cut" from the budgets of any federal agencies or departments by this.

If a federal department was scheduled for a $1,000,000 increase in their budget for next year, they're going to receive a $980,000 budget increase instead.

The big bad Sequester isn't cutting a single nickel from their existing budgets! The doomsday scenario Obama's painting, is one of the biggest lies he's ever told.

The “sequester” is an excuse to open the borders to more democrat voters.

...likely allowing more illegal immigrants into the country and potentially compromising national security.

Illegals are a threat? Good to know.
