The border is secure. Its more secure than ever. Its so, so secure.
Democrats from the White House, U.S. Senate and House of Representatives have repeated that chorus over the years, but the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border has seen more than 50,000 children caught crossing it just since October. Undocumented immigrants have been sent to states like Oklahoma and Nebraska without warning. President Obama, fiercely criticized for attending fundraisers last week rather than visiting the border, has an approval rating of just 28 percent on the subject.
Yet President Obama declared in 2011 his administration had solidified the border during an address in El Paso, Texas, advocating for immigration reform.
We have strengthened border security beyond what many believed was possible, he said, later mocking Republicans in his usual exaggerated manner by saying they would next want a moat with alligators.
Then-Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano insisted on several occasions the U.S. had secured it better than ever before, and such Texas Democrats as Rep. Beto ORourke and Rep. Marc Veasey were emboldened to mimic the line in 2013.
Even in recent weeks as the crisis has made national headlines, Sens. Harry Reid (D., Nev.), Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.) and Martin Heinrich (D., N.M.) declared the border is secure, as did Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D., Ill.) on Face the Nation. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D., Texas), never one to shy away from propping up the White House, managed to say it was under control.
Yet the enemedia has yet to ask, “Then how did hundreds of thousands of CHILDREN manage to get across it?”
Well, the border IS secure. If you are trying to get into Mexico illegally.
Just ask Andrew Tahmooressi about the efficiency the Mexican authorities have in impounding contraband and holding the suspect in detention. Hell, he even offered to turn around and go back, and they STILL would not allow him that option.
It is like a one-way sieve.
The border *is* secure. We are absolutely not having a crisis in which thousands of Canadians are swarming across our border. In fact, the only Canadian I have seen recently is here legally and has a green card.

Secure against all but future Democrat voters.
They don’t count, obviously.
Harry Reid sees no need to secure the border - but he’s in the process of moving his own family into a gated community that is protected 24 hours a day by an armed security force.

“Secured”....Yea, wide open!
And if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period. End of discussion.
LOL...good picture to associate with the Dems line. Dingy Harry to Obama: “the border is secure, boss... we are securely letting in as many illegals as we can.”
Well it's quit simple really.
The boarder is secure in that, nobody gets across that they don't want to get across.
And they want those children to get across.
They will say the same thng come early November when their rear-ends get handed to them by the voters in the mid-terms.
To repeat a comment I made this morning on another thread:
Never underestimate the capacity of the feckless GOPe to snatch defeat from the claws of victory.
The border is secure. Only those people are crossing it who have been invited and who are desired by those who control border policy.
That is why conservatives have to take the fight to the GOPe.
“SECURE-ly” pro commie-lib democRAT.
