Congressman: Obama 'co-conspirator' in border torture
WND ^ | June 27, 2014 | Bob Unruh

'Boys and girls forced to cut off the fingers or cut off the ears of other boys and girls'

Only days after the stunning report from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, of threats and torture illegal alien children endure en route to the southern U.S. border, a member of Congress is charging that President Obama, through his statements and actions, is complicit.

Cruz’s statement came in a news conference after he, Rep. Michael C. Burgess, R-Texas, and others visited a dorm at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas that serves as a temporary home to some of the tens of thousands of children who have been delivered to the U.S. border, mostly from Central America.

“We just heard stories of little boys and little girls forced by these drug dealers to cut off the fingers or cut off the ears of other little boys and girls in order to extort money from their families,” Cruz said.

“These children are told if you don’t cut off the fingers or ears of another child, you’ll be shot,” he said. “You can imagine your child going through the hell that these kids have gone through. … You can’t help but lift these kids up in prayer … [and want to] change the legal system that is encouraging what is happening here.”

Burgess on Friday told WND that the accounts of the atrocities the children endured appeared genuine, as they were related by a federal Department of Homeland Security worker in the facility set aside now for children.

The congressman said a social worker emphasized that the “people who are running that business are not good people.”

“They charge a lot of money and families that aren’t able to pay, or continue the payments, or make the payments … are threatened,” Burgess said.

Yet, another “stunt” rears it’s ugly head in the Obama administration.

I liked the way Cruz jumped on this and made it an Obama issue,
If the GOP were not the party of fwightened wabbits they would be making the obvious case that amnesty promotes this.

I thought I was inured to the quotidian cruelty dispensed by soulless men, but even at this late age I am reduced to tears at this barbarism.

This outrage belongs solely to Obama - children lopping each others' ears and fingers off at the behest of some gangster while he's out honing his golf game.

We cannot endure as a free Nation with this Judas at the helm of the Ship of State.



America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Then there are the children who don’t make it - who are thrown off the train for non-payment and end up with amputated legs (trains suck them under the wheels) or who die, and those who are kidnapped into the sex and gang cartels never to be heard from again. No telling how many.

All of this, on Obama and his Liberal know-it-all friends.

Crime of massive child abuse. Children being used as pawns to destroy America. Could also crime of international kidnapping.

Cruz is correct. Any negative thing that happens to these children is B-HO’s fault. He started this assault on Central American children and should pay for their suffering.

Central American countries should go to the UN and start an investigation into what happened to their children.
