Illegal immigrants chain themselves to White House fence
The Washington Times ^ | September 18, 2013 | Stephen Dinan

Seven illegal immigrants chained themselves to the White House fence Wednesday to demand President Obama halt all deportations, saying he has a moral obligation to keep families together.

“Stop deportations — not one more,” onlookers chanted as police moved in to remove the activists, who aired a live web videocast of their arrest.

A day earlier, Mr. Obama had rejected their calls, telling Telemundo, a Spanish-language network, that halting more deportations is “not an option.”

Immigrant-rights activists said 1,200 immigrants are deported every day. The seven who chained themselves to the White House fence along Pennsylvania Avenue include three from Arizona, two from Atlanta, one from New Orleans and one from New York.

Their move creates a conundrum for Mr. Obama and the Secret Service, who will have to decide whether to put the seven activists into deportation proceedings now.

The activists were infuriated Monday when Mr. Obama ruled out halting deportations.

That’s what I say, leave them there, leaving their sun-bleached skeletons as a reminder to all of the illegal mexican invaders, of the consequences of their actions.

Leave 'em there with just sustenance nutrition. By Halloween they'll be nice White House decorations.

What’s wrong with keeping the families united in Mexico, or whatever other 3rd world hell-hole they come from.

Not only would they be with their own parents, but also their village that it takes to raised them.

Is the government refusing to let the children accompany their parents back home?

Does anybody here really believe these illegal will actually be deported ? I believe the ole standby cridetable fear of Mexico asylum will be put to use here to make this go away. .

What do you get when you reward bad behavior?
You get this kind of BS.

So? Let them stay chained to the fence.....forever.....with no food or water. If they try to undo the chains.....put locks on them.

What deportations? The few that happen, the illegal just waltzes back in, anyway. Many’s the time I’ve seen a newspaper article about some illegal who drove drunk or raped or killed, and it’ll say he was deported nine times previously.

And what’s next, bank robbers, child molesters, shoplifters chaining themselves to fences and demanding to get away with their crimes?

They should keep families together.

Keep ‘em all together while they are on their way back to be with the rest of their families back in Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, or whatever.

You said; “They are Not Illegal Immigrants,They are Illegal Aliens.”

I say; They are Invading Colonizers...

“Stop deportations — not one more,” onlookers chanted as police moved in to... further chain them to the fence.

A low voltage battery attached to the fence could be a deterrent.
