The Washington Post's reporting brought down Richard Nixon. On Sunday, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin wondered if it could do the same to President Barack Obama regarding his lawlessness on illegal immigration.
Palin, who called for Obama to be impeached on the pages of Breitbart News, demanded in a Facebook post that Congress get answers to two questions: "What did the President know and when did he know it?"
Palin mentioned that the Washington Post had a blockbuster piece on Saturday about how top officials at the White House and the State Department had repeatedly been warned of the potential for a further explosion in the number of migrant children since the crisis began escalating two years ago. The Post reported that the Obama administration knew about the flood of illegal immigrants from Central America for years but did nothing about it so Obama's reelection was not jeopardized. The Obama administration did not want to highlight it because they also felt it could threaten their comprehensive amnesty bill.
"The White House didnt want to deal with the issue because they were focused on Obamas 2012 reelection and the push for amnesty, and this burgeoning crisis didnt look good for the President politically," she wrote. "So they willfully ignored it and in fact actively stoked it when Obama issued his own version of the DREAM Act by executive fiat, which led the illegal immigrants to believe they would be granted amnesty."
Palin said Obama's lawlessness on illegal immigration was the tipping point for her to call for Obama's impeachment. She announced in an op-ed on Breitbart.com that Obama's "many impeachable offenses" can no longer be ignored.

Of course it was on purpose. I’ve just looked at one “Christan” social service agency and they said they were contracted with the office or refugee resettlement in 2012 and told to expect a 44% increase in the number of unaccompanied minors in 2013.
very first paragraph.

He could stop the flow cold - today - if he wanted to, the same way he started it - with a declaration.
Why, he didn’t know squat about it! He found out about it when the news people did. You can’t expect him to be everywhere and know everything, can you? /o.
[From now on, whenever I have a sarcastic statement to make, I shall forego the customary “/s” and replace it with “/o”. It is supremely more appropriate and a testament to the incompetence, stupidity, deviousness and dissembling that is Obama]
There was a lot that was really terrific in that speech. Tying illegal immigration to American joblessness, not letting Obama getting away with his intentionally-created crisis, etc.
How I wish Palin had focused on policy credentials these last 4-5 years, rather than a side biz in reality TV, because it is clear the GOP lacks compelling leadership for 2016—and Palin could have easily positioned herself, IMO, to be the one to provide it.
The question is moot.
That’s easy... he’ll say he found out about it watching the news!
Pathetic
DHS took bids from ‘escort’ contractors to bring the kids to our border. Check out Allen West’s site to see the advertisement posted in January. Still the RINO’s are silent....
Yeah, Obama has been planning this for two years and timed it to hit right after the 2012 elections.
They have been building an extensive network here and abroad to transport, disperse, house and provide tax payer funded legal services to illegals coming into the country at astronomical expense
There is no accident here
OMG
What I would like to know, is, are we directly involved somehow in getting these illegal Hondurans, Salvadorans, and Guatemalens across Mexico to our border.
I’ve heard that coyotes, the illegal people smugglers, are getting the bulk of these “children” to America. This begs the question as to whether our government is involved with criminals who smuggle people. And if so, what in the sam hill are we doing involved with such people????
Child Labor is illegal in most states and Illegal Aliens or Illegal Immigrants are just that ILLEGAL!!
Obama brought one Gov, in her city, 90 illegals “From India!”
A federal website that carries information for bids on upcoming federal contracts had info in Jan 2014, asking for bids on transporting these illegals away from the border.
This has been totally choreographed by Obama & Holder.
They’re coming in now from all over the world.....not just from the south. The door to America is wide open...to feed and take care of any who come in.....and they’re coming.
“Invasion”...and that’s all there is to it.

I don’t know why they would want to come here anymore. Give the dims. power for a few more years and this country will be just like where they came from.
As usual...Sarah is right.
What Difference At This Point Does It Make!?!?
Did the regime plan this? Or was it more "Lets Go and Screw Us Some Americans!?!?"
But seriously Sarah HAS been reading F.R. we have been saying that phrase or over year...
