Idiocy 101
The Obama Regime has zero idea what it’s doing.
The fall of Iraq and our equipment now in the hands of ISIS (Al Qaida).
The equipment is reportedly being taken to Syria to fight Assad’s forces.
I guess this generation now knows how it felt for Vietnam vets as they watched Saigon fall. History is repeating itself.
Planet Bullshit!
This has happened before and is unacceptable. Obama continues to pander to this group for votes..how do you like it now?
H/T to Weasel Zippers for the pic and story.
Obama Pushing For Latino Vote…..Hard
Why would Obama stop deporting illegals? Is it in the best interest of the country? Of course not.
One reason and one reason only, bribing the Latinos for votes in the mid-terms. He is not worried about re-election so he can do pretty much whatever he wants, and it may work.
The tribal theory that a race will do whatever it takes to see members of the same ethnic group succeed answers the question why it will work. Latinos don’t care what there fellow Latinos did, they just want more of them around, and Obama is offering just that. He is telling them he wants all of their people to come to America…laws be damned…and in doing so he expects votes, same thing LBJ did with the war on poverty.
Simple process really, and nobody has figured out how to stop it.
Enforcing immigration law “isn’t smart,” President Barack Obama told law enforcement officials Tuesday, just one day after the public learned he had released 36,007 illegal-immigrant murderers, rapists, thieves and other criminals into the nation’s communities. Cops should be going after major criminals, not the many illegal immigrants that are quietly living in their districts, said Obama, who has twice sworn to uphold the nation’s laws.
“You’ve got to spend time dealing with somebody who is not causing any other trouble other than the fact that they were trying to make a living for their families,” Obama said. “That’s just not a good use of our resources. It’s not smart. It doesn’t make sense,” said Obama, who has already directed immigration police to minimize enforcement of illegal living far from the border.
Polls consistently show the public favors a stronger crackdown on employment of illegal immigrants.
On May 12, the Center for Immigration Studies released government documents showing that Obama’s deputies released foreign 36,007 foreign criminals who had committed crimes in the country, instead of deporting them.
The illegals “are folks who are woven into the fabrics of our communities,” he said. ”Their kids are going to school with our kids. Most of them are not making trouble; most of them are not causing crimes. And yet, we put them in this tenuous position, and it creates a situation in which your personnel, who have got to go after gang-bangers and need to be going after violent criminals and deal with the whole range of challenges, and who have to cooperate with [the federal government] around our counterterrorism activities.” Read more:
So the Liar – in – Chief continues to flaunt the laws of the land, (unless there his), and is making ground with the simpletons who fall for his used car sales pitch. If Latinos think Obama gives a rats ass about them and theirs I suggest they take a good hard look at the black community Obama promised to help.
Russia/Ukraine…Outrage – US/Mexico…meh
Obviously this regime has zero problems with illegals crossing the US southern borders, even if they are Mexican military. Shameful.
In January, soldiers from this lonely outpost of the Mexican Army drew their guns on U.S. Border Patrol agents just 50 yards into the United States. Then in March, they opened fire on Javier Jose Rodriguez, a young Tucson man visiting family in Sásabe when he was driving around the town early on a Saturday morning after drinking beers with friends. Rodriguez was shot in the arm and in the side, he spent three weeks at University of Arizona Medical Center.
The United States’ reaction has been tepid, angering people who live and patrol along the Arizona border.
Sovereign border?
“From what I understand, this has happened hundreds of times before,” says Sylvia Longmire, a border security analyst whose recent book, Border Insecurity, details the challenges and failings of some Homeland Security operations along the Arizona-Sonora border. The soldiers told the agent they’d gotten lost while pursuing a drug smuggler.
“However, I believe there was some confusion as to whether that’s what the Mexican Army was doing because there was no evidence found by the Border Patrol of any drug smugglers in the area,” Longmire said. keep reading
Beating A Dead Horse
Obama judge picks side……the wrong one.
A Homeland Security initiative to put fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border could discriminate against minorities, according to an Obama-appointed federal judge who’s ruled that the congressionally approved project may have a “disparate impact on lower-income minority communities.” read more
I must be missing something. We have laws to keep illegal immigrants, terrorists, and drug dealers out of country. This judge determines that we are discriminating against minorities? Using that logic, Russians going into Crimea would be discriminating.
They want to pass amnesty and the GOP is falling in love with the “Hispanic vote”, but numero uno should be secure borders. Period!!
Shredding The Second
The ATF is doing a few test runs on bending destroying the second amendment. With armored vehicles and tactical units running around under the guise of HHS or the postal service, one wonders what in the hell happened…and where is it headed? They can’t keep illegals out, but they can harass honest working Americans. And there is something very wrong with that. ATF Searches Ares Armor
A few thoughts:
You may say to yourself, “As long as you obey the law it is not a problem. These isolated issues are just that.” That’s not the concern. The trajectory is the concern. A century ago the average American rarely bumped against agent of the national government. The Post Office was his only regular interface with Washington. He infrequently had dealings with his local government. Today, everyone of us bumps against government at all levels We must get permission for everything we do now.
Asking permission from angry, hostile men kitted out in body armor and mil-spec weaponry is a different thing than going to the zoning board for a permit to build a fence. keep reading
Doing Their Part
Why Don’t We Know?
If our borders are more secure than ever before, why don’t we know who is here? Homeland Security is just another federal boondoggle and waste. How did they help Boston? This department did not exist 12 years ago.
Much like Pelosi’s famous words “we need to pass Obamacare to know what’s in it”, apparently we need to pass amnesty to find out who is here.
It is stunning these people are in charge.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) argued Tuesday that immigration reform would enhance the nation’s security as he sought to prevent concerns raised by the Boston bombings from derailing the bipartisan legislation.
“Under the status quo, we do not know who is here and might be intending to do us harm,” Reid wrote in a letter to Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
“The bipartisan immigration reform proposal introduced last week would enable us to identify and perform criminal background and national security checks on immigrants who are here unlawfully,” he wrote.
Total Bullshit!! Give them amnesty, there are another 20 million ready to come here illegally. Politicians are idiots.
Amnesty: Pay To Play
THEY DON’T PAY TAXES!!
Mexicans don’t pay taxes, big news dumb-asses. I am not trying to be controversial on this, I know them personally, they will do whatever it takes to screw the system. I know this for fact. They will TAKE free health care, no taxes paid, cash for work, free education…need I go further? This Gang of Eight Amnesty bill is a travesty and should be struck down in the harshest language.
Negotiators had to choose between a hard-line approach favored by Republicans, like Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), that would have required immigrants and employers to painstakingly piece together a tax history so the government could collect what is owed and a less burdensome option of focusing on people who already have a past-due bill with the Internal Revenue Service.
They chose the milder approach and punted the details to the Treasury Department and IRS to hash out down the road.
The legislation now simply requires any currently undocumented immigrant to pay “any applicable federal tax liability.” That most likely means that only those people who filed tax paperwork like a W-2 or I-9 form with their employer could potentially be hit by a tax bill, and only if they missed a tax payment in the past.
…
Negotiators continued using the term “back taxes” when selling the plan and trying to allay concerns among conservatives that the proposal would not be tough enough on immigrants who entered the country illegally.
“The term back taxes is part of their lingo, but I think what people want is to make sure people are paying their fair share,” said Marshall Fitz, the director of immigration policy at the liberal Center for American Progress. “There isn’t this punitive retribution mentality like you have to go back and correct all of your mistakes.”
The dishonesty of the amnesty crowd is breathtaking even by the usual low standards of politics. Of course, since they won’t even admit it’s amnesty (and it is amnesty), this isn’t anything remotely surprising.
