Turns out Barack Obama isn’t all that against building a border wall to keep out illegals after all.
Thing is, he wants illegals to enter America, he’s just not okay with them entering Mexico.
Looks like the U.S. is giving our neighbors to the south $75 million so they can build their own wall to protect themselves from Central American invaders.
From Conservative Tribune:
One of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s talking points in his campaign has that he wants to protect our borders. He wants to secure the American people from the dangers of illegal immigration and strengthen those borders by building a wall.
However, it seems that President Barack Obama wanted to do one lasting thing before leaving office, so he gifted Mexico $75 million … to help the Mexicans build a wall to improve their border security.
According to a Financial Times story cited by Newsmax, Mexico wanted to stop people from Central American countries like Guatemala from entering their country via its southern border.
More from Newsmax:
A Financial Times story details Mexico’s role in stopping people from getting into its country from Guatemala. A reported 175,000 Central Americans were deported from Mexico in 2015 (a 68 percent jump from 2014), and so far in 2016 that number is approaching 100,000.
The Times claims the U.S. is sending Mexico $75 million in the form of equipment and training to help shore up its southern border. Ultimately, some of the Central American migrants wind up at America’s southern doorstep. Stopping them from entering Mexico is the first line of defense.
A U.S. Border Patrol agent said earlier this year the U.S. should borrow a page out of Mexico’s security playbook and strengthen its border defenses and deport more illegals when they arrive.
Hypocrisy much?
Thanks for the link with more details and specifics.
BTW, I heard one of Trump’s surrogates on CNN today mention her hypocrisy on the gun issue, and she tossed in the “lives behind 10 feet high walls but doesn’t want a wall on the border.”
I wonder if she’s a lurker?
incompetentism?
Great photo.
Saw some great squabbles over at the WaPo today.
:>)
I think the entire Trump campaign lurks here.
And that’s NOT /sarc

Obama keeps his priorities straight. - -1. Destroy USA. 2. Destroy USA. 3. Destroy USA. 4. Destroy any USA allies.
I hope so. Drudge takes most weekends off. Where else are they going to get their 24/7 news feed?
PS: I think the reason they pushed the media 100 meters or more down the public street around the bend from Hillary’s gate, was to keep them from photographing (and commenting on) her amazing 10’ high security wall with spikes on top and cameras all over it.
A few reporters might have made the connection to her open border/no wall policy.
Wait till you see plans for this fence. It will have in the blue prints escalators over the top and tunnels rivaling the Channel Tunnel, Le tunnel sous la Manche, between England and France. And there will be a McDonald’s on the entrance and the exit, to get you both ways so they don’t have to service the drinking fountain in the desert. On the US side will be a park and ride next to the pedestrian walkways through the tunnel. And if the great contributor would just give them a few more millions, they could provide moving sidewalks. Wonder if they will put a toll going into Mexico, only? Then they can pay for the bride gift in installments. Just not with their money.

extortion? remember they have ISIS + cartels = love4ever
Don’t worry. You’ve got the best printing presses in the world going nonstop to pay the bills!
Obama: Mexico will build a wall and we will pay for it.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots beware!
The corrupt media, likely working in cahoots with the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress, is once again wrrongly front-ending lawless, last-term Obama as its “useful idiot" with respect to Obama's unconstitutional foreign aid. (Patriots need to iron the wrinkles out of the 22nd Amendment.)
More specifically, the Founding States expressly constitutionally delegated the “power of the purse” uniquely to the House of Representatives (1.7.2). So Constitution puts most of the responsibility for this unconstitutional foreign aid for a wall for Mexico on Congress, imo, whether Congress wants this responsibility or not.
In fact, Congress is constitutionally required to legislatively authorize all the taxpayer dollars that Obama has ever spend as evidenced by the Constitution’s Clause 7 of Section 9 of Article I.
Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.
Also consider that Justice Joseph Story had indicated that Congress cannot use the General Welfare Clause (1.8.1) as an excuse to justify foreign aid.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833) .
Again, Obama's funding for Mexico’s bridge is unconstitutional imo.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutonal federal taxes, taxes used for foreign aid in this example.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
I propose a trade. We give central america a state nobody is using like Arkansas, they can move their entire population there, and we take over and Guatemala, and Honduras and gentrify them to our hearts content
Hypocrisy is their religion and they practice it faithfully every day.
Everyone needs time off, I suppose, but the Friday off routine often makes me wonder at the business/personal angle made so famous by Sonny Corleone.
For some it’s a Monday to Thursday job to stir up the pot.
For others it seems it’s a full time mission: Hannity and Dobbs for example.
The Monday to Thursday crowd aren’t really serious.
Do you remember the article(s) about the mansions owned by the Clintons and their cost?
$20T in debt and climbing!
