EXCLUSIVE: Border Community Organizing Petition to Protest Obama's Immigration Speech

The residents of the Chiricahua-Peloncillo drug and human smuggling corridor that runs from the Mexican border north through eastern Arizona and western New Mexico are circulating a petition to send to the White House in response to President Obama's recent immigration speech.

"It is with great wonderment and sadness that we listened to your May 10 speech on immigration issues. All of the joking about moats and alligators cut residents of Portal, AZ, to the core as we sheltered with friends or at a Red Cross evacuation site, to survive a terrible fire that still threatens our lives and property, as well as our ecotourism-based economy," the letter reads.

On Sunday, a massive fire broke out in Horseshoe Canyon, about 50 miles north of the Mexican border, which residents and law enforcement say they believe was started by criminal illegal aliens. Last year, a fire in the same location caused more than $10 million in damages.

"During its first 24-hrs, the fire consumed a greater area than did last year's fire over a 6-week period. Local residents were roused after midnight, and some slept fitfully in cars after fleeing with family photos and any valuables that could be quickly assembled. Elderly retirees left with medical supplies, including oxygen tanks on which some depend," the letter reads.

The petition comes just days after Obama appeared in El Paso, Texas, to plead the case for immigration reform that has been bottled up in Congress for years. During his remarks, the president argued that the border is as safe as it has ever been but Republican opportunists are using the issue to score political points and prevent legal reforms to address illegal immigration.

The snarky and childish comment about Republicans wanting to build a moat coming from the Grand Hypocrite who accuses Republicans of using fear and not wanting a constructive debate. The politics of ridicule has become Obama's hallmark. He is remarkably adolescent and unpresidential when he lowers himself to sarcastically misrepresent his opponents' views and to turn them into something cartoonish rather than engaging their arguments on the merits. The media loved to call Bush arrogant, based on nothing more than he wouldn't always fold to the demands of Democrats and the media (redundant I know) but they have nothing to say about Obama's incessant snotiness and petulance about his opponents and his venom spitting attacks on their opinions.

All these petitioners will go on Obama’s bitter clingers list and, if Obama has his way will become second class citizens in their own country. We aren't in Obama’s Amerika. We need Obama out in 2012 or an unchecked second term Obama will bring the end of the US in all but name.

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[yoe]

Not only snarky and childish but more callow bullying from the commander in chief....Obama is often churlish...as he was to John McCain when he said the "election is over and I won" how inappropriate was that? A beer summit? Inviting Congressman Paul Ryan to attend his speech, Obama proceeded to bully Ryan's deficit reduction solutions, making totally inaccurate remarks about the Ryan plan. America's Union President is a true political Bullyboy!

As of this morning this fire is spreading, no where near control and another group of residents were under a notice of possible evacuation today- including friends of ours. There is another fire near the border in the Cloverdale area that was also likely set by illegals. I think that one may be under control or close to it. Our firefighters are getting very weary and people are worried about losing their homes, animals.

The fire discussed in this article is in the same area where rancher Rob Krentz was murdered. People living in this area are citizens, and instead of assisting them in a time of need- or even offering words of kindness our President chooses instead to make fun of them and all of us that support securing the border.

Hispanic Americans coming together to battle the administration against ceding the border to Mexico and cartels is the best answer ever! Obama listens to no one and panders to Hispanics using Hollywood starlets while snarking Republicans who are alarmed and outraged by the neglect of our borders. Marxism is raging among Hispanics.

To be heard on this border issue you have to be Hispanics banding together to fight back. Anglos on the border and across the nation are ignored.

[jmacusa]

>”Anglos on the border and across the nation are being ignored<’’. Madame then it’s time we Anglos put Obamas face in the dirt, a boot on his skinny little neck and a gun in his ear and say “Can you hear us now, Mr. President?’’ Because I for one HAVE HAD IT!! My wife and I are working our tails off(and we’re in our late fifties) just to keep what little we have together and I have to watch as the rule of law is subverted to accommodate an invading illegal alien army of racist, illiterate, criminally-prone pugnacious Mexicans, not content with destroying their own country and are determined to destroy ours. A nation that will not protect it’s borders is a traitor to it’s people and as such forfeits its legitimacy to govern. And we have a process in America to remove a government that has become ‘’destructive of these ends’’. One method is the ballot box. The other is the cartridge box. While I would always want government removed by the former, I would not be opposed to using the latter. Certainly not against this current government.

[MissesBush]

And don’t forget Obama’s incredibly tacking calling out of the Supreme Court in his 2010 State of the Union speech, lying about their ruling on campaign finance and completely misrepresenting it. The man is the most classless bastard to ever hold the White House. But that’s what you get when you put a vacuous celebrity in a weighty, dignified job like POTUS instead of a real leader with the temperment of a leader instead of that of a common street punk.

.... “ My wife and I are working our tails off(and we’re in our late fifties) just to keep what little we have together and I have to watch as the rule of law is subverted to accommodate an invading illegal alien army of racist, illiterate, criminally-prone pugnacious Mexicans, not content with destroying their own country and are determined to destroy ours. “ ================

I so get you guys! I was just saying tonight that the border states have already been turned back over to Mexico.
I am told earlier today there is one north Texas town in the panhandle that has two english speaking students in the first grade! I don’t know if they’re legal or illegal the point is that we’re damn ceded already in Texas to Mexico and the rest of it’s burning. (Over 200,000 acres still burning on Friday.)

Alinsky RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.”

I hope he uses Rule 5 a lot against Sarah during the campaign. Man, will that backfire or what! The Palin Army will Growl!

Will the voting populace be educated enough by November 6, 2012 to vote this communist out of office? Let's hope so.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Did Palin announce she is running?

[denydenydeny]

I guess you stupid Republicans want me to attach a sprinkler system to that moat, hyuk hyuk hyuk.

[LibsRJerks]

I’ve always suspected that these wildfires all over the Southwest and California were being started by illegals, or terrorists even perhaps.

Just like sneaky little insect pests, these people.

Really — they’re setting us on fire now??? What ELSE is going to have to happen for us to put a stop to it???

[RWB Patriot]

As it is with gas, groceries and wages, when was the last time dear leader had to worry about people breaking into his home or damaging his property?

It takes some real arrogance for a man who has just about everything handed to him on a silver platter and who doesn’t really produce anything to tell people who actually have to earn their living how they should feel about their personal lives.

[Art in Idaho]

Not yet, but I know she's running. . . I just know it. . She's given just about every non-verbal and verbal hint possible without actually saying the exact words. .

[upchuck]

Horrible president.

Horrible writer.

[kelly4c]

Damn these criminal invading cockroaches and damn Barack Hussein Obutthole! I am sick and tired of all the Mexicans and their bullcrap. They have been, and are INVADING our country, hurting our people, and OUR president makes jokes about it!!!!! I am very suprised that the handwringing has not turned into action. I think we, especially those in the border states if anything, should march and protest enough is enough!

Cong Grijalva and Ohaha.

Cong Grijalva (D-Ariz) believes Arizona's new law, which requires law enforcement officials to demand papers from anyone they suspect is in the country illegally, is racist and does little more than “propagate the idea separate but equal treatment under the law can be codified,” Grijalva said.

REFERENCE US Rep. Steve King to Laura Ingraham: " I’m wondering if we look at the map of Arizona Congressman Grijalva’s congressional district, if we haven’t already ceded that component of Arizona to Mexico, judging by the voice that comes out of Grijalva. Grijalva’s advocating for Mexico rather than the United States and against the rule of law, which is one of the central pillars of American exceptionalism.

OHAHA REVS UP BORDER VOTERS: moving ahead for 2010-12.

(1) Ohaha sends rep to Mexico-US Interparliamentary Group;

(2) declares all illegals are undocumented Democrats;

(3) orders the start of massive flow of Mexicans into the US for the Nov elections;

(4) orders Incompetano to send ICE to the border to handout Democrat party voter registration forms;

(5) ICE also distributing apps for Social Security benefits, SSI apps for the wife, kids and senior relatives, welfare forms, food stamps, EITC apps, lists of free healthcare providers, drivers licenses and passports, sub-prime mortgage apps, bank accounts for every identity, and gun and machete permits;

(6) Ohaha sends lists of Democrat campaign committees taking donations from drug lords.

(7) Mexico ready to assist (for a price).
