Border Crisis Poll: Public Turns Against Obama, Democrats & Media
Breitbart ^ | July 30, 2014 | John Nolte

Posted on 07/30/2014 3:01:16 PM PDT by lilyramone

A new AP-GfK polls is all around bad news for President Obama, Democrats, and a mainstream media determined to push his amnesty agenda. Not only is public approval souring towards Obama's handling of the issue and the idea of a path to citizenship for illegals and the policy of offering asylum for this wave of Central American children, a plurality now see the Republican Party as better able to handle the issue of immigration.

When asked about the President's handling of the immigration issue, only 31% said they approve while a whopping 68% disapprove. That's a 14 point shift against the president since the middle of May, when he sat at 38% approve, 60% disapprove.

“if the election was tomorrow this would help...

If GOP candidates s simply stick to linking all democrats, to the folly and failure of Obama’s policies, they can win.

If they veer off that, in wild directions, they will lose the benefit of the “gift on a plate” issues.

You’ll see a lot of democrats claiming to not support Obama, but that will be false. The GOP candidates need to be up to instantly refuting such claims.

It will be 30 second soundbite competitions soon.

Here's why:

Two U.S. Border Patrol agents just made a shocking new claim
 Kit Daniels 


Two anonymous Border Patrol agents reportedly told radio
 host Dave Hodges that under the pretense of labeling 
illegal aliens “refugees,” the United Nations is “calling 
the shots” on America’s border operations and the U.N. is 
deciding which immigrants to ship to various parts of the 
U.S.

One of the agents said U.N. personnel are already present at 
various detention facilities in the American Southwest, 
according to Hodges, and are working with Homeland Security 
agents in “gathering MS-13 gangsters, captured from 
different roundups, patch worked together as a group and 
then shipped together to various locations on the perimeter 
of the United States.”

“I objected to admitting MS-13 gangsters into the U.S. and I 
was told that we have our orders to treat them like anyone 
else,” the other agent told Hodges.


Hodges says that he asked one of the agents how they knew 
the immigrants were MS-13 and he told him they could tell 
“by the tattoos.”


“He recounted the fact that MS-13 operatives will have a 
tattoo with tears on their face which represents a person 
that they have murdered in the commission of their drug-
related duties,” Hodges reported. “He said he processed an 
MS-13 member who had nine tears on his face and he was told 
to process him as an ‘unaccompanied juvenile refugee.’”


And police officers are already encountering these gang 
members, such as the La Grulla, Texas, officer who pulled 
over a vehicle last week carrying an aggressive MS-13 
member.

“Once I asked him to lift up his shirt, that’s where I 
observed he had MS-13 tattooed on his chest and his back,” 
the officer stated. “Those are really dangerous subjects.”

The U.N., however, has already announced its intent to 
broadly designate illegal aliens, including MS-13 members 
from Central America, as “refugees.”

“Representatives of the United Nations High Commissioner for 
Refugees, or UNHRC, are ‘intensely discussing in meetings’ 
the possibility of extending U.N. protection to the 
thousands of Central Americans crossing the U.S. border with 
Mexico illegally by defining them as ‘refugees’ who are 
seeking asylum from political and domestic violence in their 
home nations,” Jerome Corsi reported on July 14.

An informed source also told Infowars the U.N. is already 
calling illegals “refugees” and pro-amnesty organizations 
are likewise doing so even though Latin America has 
experienced extreme violence for the past 10 years and the 
massive influx of illegals has only occurred in the past few 
months.

In June, for example, several activists who were guests on 
NPR described all the illegal immigrant youth entering the 
U.S. in record numbers as desperate “war refugees” who need 
the full support of the government.


Of course, that’s obviously not the case if the U.N. is 
helping to import MS-13 gang members into the U.S., but U.N. 
representatives will still call them “refugees” if it allows 
the globalist organization to infringe upon America’s 
national sovereignty.

I disagree, this issue pisses off many on the left as well as the right. I know A LOT of people on the left, and ALL of them honestly thought Obama would actually do MORE to stop illegal immigration than Bush!!! (before he was elected the first time)

People on BOTH sides are PISSED about this, and the Democrats are doomed in November unless the Republicans do something stupid like pass immigration reform and let Obama off the hook before November.

Those facial tear-drops are going to make them more difficult to blend in, and will allow good people to know how dangerous they are, by the voluntary branding of their faces and bodies. I am certain they mark themselves in this way, to scare defenseless people. That will not work here, with a chewed pop-tart behind every blade of grass.

Agreed, especially if the RINOS in the Senate help him with his problem.

Thank you for posting this.

I’m listening to Hodges now about the U.N. and our naval ships positioned on the coasts...are they stationed there to protect us from a strike, wherein the U.N. can “come to the rescue”, OR, are they there to protect themselves (the navy) from a possible EMP strike and damage to their ship’s instruments?

"Despite the wishes of the federal government and a mainstream media that sees its role as making those wishes come true, through original reporting, New Media has driven the facts of the border crisis home for an American public eager to know the truth."

Free Republic leads the way!

Everyone should be PO’d at their Governors, as well—they are complicit in accepting the illegal-petri-dishes-of-contagions entering OUR schools in a few weeks—they should have made plans to have them quarantined from OUR children until it is found they are without disease and lice.

>>I don’t think this has legs long enough to keep people pissed off till November.<<

I disagree, and strongly. This isn’t a one-off scandal that the press gets to shove under the rug as though its already been thoroughly reported.

This is a drip-drip-drip scandal, with new happenings every single day that will make it into the news stream one way or another. And it’s also got the local angle, as each state eventually gets sent its own batch of illegals.

The polls reflect reality. The Dems, led by Obama, have really stepped in it this time. I wouldn’t even be surprised to learn that they were losing Hispanic votes over this lawlessness. After all, many Hispanics jumped through the proper legal hoops to get here legally. Now their own family members wait for approval while the Dems ship gang members over the border, more likely to join their communities in the U.S. and terrorize the legal Hispanics in the bargain.

This is why, by the way, Boehner was wise to avoid suing over the immigration mess. Let this one play out in public with local GOP politicians railing against the invasion of their individual states and communities. The Dems in the Red States are terrified at how this is playing out.

This is one of those festering issues that doesn’t get resolved or covered up easily by election time. That’s going to be a problem even in the face of sympathetic media, and 0bama is burning an awful lot of political capital just to keep the lid on as much as he has. Could this affect the 2014 elections? Of course it will. 2016? Yes, and that isn’t something that establishment Dems are going to be very happy with. But 0bama isn’t running. And he is in power. And so he may just decide to burn a few bridges.

GOP, do not hold hands with the man child.

Obama, as Debbie Wasserman Schultz says, OWNS THIS ECONOMY.
This means they also OWN HIGH GAS AND FOOD AND ELECTRICITY PRICES.

They also own the LAUGHING STOCK AMERICA HAS BECOME IN FOREIGN POLICY.

They also own THE BORDER AND IMMIGRATION DISASTER.

SHOVE THIS DOWN THEIR THROATS FROM NOW UNTIL NOVEMBER.
