Obama's Border Corner
MainStreetRadical.com ^ | 5/20/2010 | James Devere

Posted on 05/20/2010 8:18:32 AM PDT by mainstreetradical.com

In a masterful display of backing himself into a foreign policy corner, President Obama has taken his stubborn insistence upon misrepresenting Arizona’s law to the international stage. Considering that the Arizona immigration law is based on federal law, Obama’s stance seems to be that there is no illegal immigration, just misguided racism. President Obama recently stood shoulder to shoulder with Mexico’s Philippe Calderon and declared that immigration law is misguided and misdirected. Calderon, for his part, called US immigration law discriminatory. Obama seemed to agree.

The President has put himself into the untenable position of declaring the enforcement of current immigration laws as “potentially” racist. To follow the President’s logic, any law written and enforced in the United States will carry the potential for profiling. The American people are not capable, under Obama’s point of view, of enforcing any law as it pertains to immigration. The result can be nothing short of an open border.

He is essentially calling for anarchy - so that he can take extraordinary measures to restore public order.

Never waste a crisis - create one even!!!!

Calderon's visit is the first shot across the bow. He and Obama's plan was to belittle the US---to make us feel guilty. This way trillions of US tax dollars can start flowing to Calderon.

HERE'S THE PLAN Jan 25, 2008--McCain Hispanic outreach director Juan Hernandez (a dual citizen who once served in the Mexican govt) stated on broadcast TV that he is for the North American Union, and the “Amero” to replace the dollar within 10 years or so.......he had said exactly the same thing on Fox News in 2007.

And now that the EU and the euro are in such "great shape," I'm sure that idea is gonna go over r-e-a-l b-i-g here (/snix).

Flea-bitten Mexicans are using the Mideast Playbook---- How To Get $$$$Trillions By Draining The US Treasury .

Worked great over in the hellholes of the Mideast now pocketing trillions of US tax dollars.

Watch Mexico escalate the phony drug war to co-opt desperate Dems to start pouring in trillions of US tax dollars into Mexico.

All the crooked pols on both sides of the border will get a cut....plus lucky Dems will get the fraudulent votes they need to get reelected.

“The difference now is that the highest office in America is siding with a foreign power against one of its own 50 states. “

Obama is fully aware that the Arizona law mirrors the Federal law, yet standing beside the president of a foreign country, Obama took sides with Calderon, against his own country and his own Federal law -— by any standard, traitorous and lawless behavior.

By siding against the United States and the Arizona law that mirrors the Federal law, which he refuses to enforce, Obama makes his clearest statement to date that he is above the law and has an allegiance other than the United States and its Constitution.

Thank you all for the comments.

There was much to be bothered by in yesterday's display on the White House lawn and siding with a foreign government was too much to ignore.

In his criticism of the Arizona/US law, Obama effectively set the bar for any future immigration legislation. He was very careful to word his statement that the current law has the potential for abuse. Therefore, the standard by which he must measure any subsequent law is set. And it is an impossible standard.

Effectively, under the Obama declaration the border is open.

That is Obama’s sole skill-—re-framing the “narrative.”

In a nutshell...that’s the plan!

BTW, don’t forget the OAS is pushing for open borders. The US is a member....how do you think an Obama regime will vote?

Unrestricted migration to be proposed- Open Western Hemisphere borders proposed
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2453670/posts

El Universo (Guayaquil,Ecuador) 2/15/10

Open Western Hemisphere borders proposed

The Ecuadorian government will ask the Organization of American States (OAS) to promote the free movement of people within the continent in order to curb the deportation of immigrants who are in an “irregular condition” [Read: illegal].

Hernan Holguin, sub-secretary of the Ecuadorian national department that oversees migrant issues, indicated that the matter will be presented before the OAS as “a matter of human rights” and to stop the deportation of “irregular immigrants.” Holguin expressed the opinion that humanity is advancing toward a “universal citizenship” and that world globalization is not centered only in the movement of merchandise, but also in people, for which reason it is a right for emigrants to come and go in other countries as they wish.

The proposal has to do with urging “an integrated migrant policy with full respect for human rights in the framework of human mobility,” he said. Holguin emphasized that the process of returning to one’s country of origin should be “orderly, planned and supported” in order to avoid situations in which the undocumented immigrant might be arrested for a minor infraction and be deported, thus destroying his life’s future plans. He pointed out that in order to confront this matter, his country, for example, has subscribed to a “migratory agreement” with Peru that is similar to another established by Mexico. Ecuador estimates that it has one-fifth of its population in migratory status, mostly in the US, Spain and Italy, brought on by an economic crisis in the country in 1999 and considered the worst in its national history.

“Over my dead body.”

IF the Gop hadn’t pushed McCain and his amnesty loving agenda for 8 years and actually done something about this problem it could have been solved without bloodshed. There are going to be lots of dead bodies, bcsco, thanks to all these political hacks on both sides.

This is so true. But I'll be damned if I'll let a bunch of communist loving parasites take over the best and freest country in the world.

The Israelis have put up a security wall that stands about 30 feet tall. It has been very effective in stopping terrorist attacks. Think of what it could do for our illegal immigration problem! I have to wonder how angry the POSOTUS, ICE, et al would get if there was a private fund raising drive (by FR?) to finance the building of the same kind of wall? And what if the Israelis were hired to build it? It would rankle Obama like you wouldn't believe. Have the Israeli company be the contractor who would hire local American skilled workers.
