President Obama has asked Congress for $3.7 billion to render assistance to these illegals. Not one dime of that $3.7 billion has been slated to secure the borders. It's that simple. If you don't secure the borders you cannot fix the problem.
That's it. That's all he's done. The Department of Homeland Security has set up facilities all over the country to house some of the illegals and the children. Others, including members of the Mara Salvatrucha gang (MS-13), one of the most ruthless and dangerous street gangs in the world, have been released to the streets. Some MS-13 members have been housed in facilities with the children and have begun recruiting operations. Staff members at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Nogales (Arizona) Placement Center have found MS-13 graffiti on the walls at the center. At least 15 of the unaccompanied minors admitted belonging to the gang.
And still the border goes unsecured.
Diseases of all nature, many highly communicable, are also coming into the country with the flood of illegals. And although medical staff attending these people are threatened into silence, several have spoken out about TB, scabies and head lice being rampant among many of them. And that's only the ones that have been processed and medically screened.
And still the border goes unsecured.
And speaking of being threatened into silence - the ICE agents and Border Patrol agents on the borders and in the holding and placement centers have been ordered not to talk to the media. Several of them have ignored that order and done so. In addition, last week a U.S. Representative attempted to enter one of the holding facilities to tour it and was refused entry. A Congressman was refused entry by Obama's brown shirt security people! What is the government hiding from the American people?
With the exception of the few people who have spoken from first hand experience, we have no real idea what's going on inside these facilities. What we have are promises from the Obama administration that these illegals, including the children, are going to be returned to their homelands following deportation hearings. Yup - and you can keep your doctor too.
Obama's new mouthpiece, Josh Earnest, actually said that their improved border security measures have paid off. For who, Josh? The people coming over en mass from Mexico sure seem to like what you've done!
And still the border goes unsecured.
And still the border goes unsecured.
The President and some other obnoxious Democrats are now saying that this huge influx of illegals into the country is... you guessed it... George W. Bush's fault. Yeah - I can see that. Obama has only had 5.5 years in office so he hasn't had any time to do anything about securing the borders. Yup - it's Bush's fault.
Gee - in 5.5 years, with a couple of friends I could build the fence myself and for less than $3.7 billion.
Some people will disagree with me and that's OK. The truth will become known soon enough. In the meantime the most telling thing Obama is doing is what he's not doing - securing the border to stop the continued influx of illegals. Until he does that the numbers are going to continue to climb. Talk is cheap, Mr. President. Let's see some real action. Want to prove you're serious? Close the highway to the USA and stop the people from coming in. But of course you won't do that. That would ruin your long term plans.
And as of this writing... still the border goes unsecured.
