President Barack H. Obama (D, Trier Tavern Club) has announced his plan to secure the United States’ southern border: he will direct up to 1200 troops to report there to provide desk support for the red tape that chokes our border agents, and spend at least $500 million more on unspecified projects.
The intent is of course to give the impression that this President gets it at last… that he understands the public outcry for border security, and is making a real effort in sending troops and spending money. But how many Americans are naïve enough to believe this line, after a year and a half of watching him in action?
We know that he fought every effort to secure the border when he was in the U.S. Senate, the lower rung of his ladder to power. On the rare occasions when he deigned to hang out in that body long enough to actually cast a vote, it was in favor of illegal immigration, in favor of amnesty, in favor of the growing porosity of our dangerous border. So why believe that he would now attempt to help close it?

This poser needs to be impeached and tried for treason.
Even if deployed along the border; 1200 guardsmen, 1950 miles, 3 shifts per day, 7 days a week. It would be about 1 guardsman for every 8 - 10 miles of border. They really think we are stoopid.
They don't have to fool everyone, just enough.
Tina Griego, journalist for the Denver Rocky Mountain News wrote a column
titled, “Mexican visitor’s lament” —
She interviewed Mexican journalist Evangelina Hernandez while visiting
Denver last week. Hernandez said,
“They (illegal aliens) pay rent, buy groceries, buy clothes...what happens
to your country’s economy if 20 million people go away?”
That’s a good question - it deserves an answer. Over 80 percent of Americans
demand secured borders and illegal migration stopped. But what would happen
if all 20 million or more vacated America? The answers may surprise you!
In California , if 3.5 million illegal aliens moved back to Mexico , it would
leave an extra $10.2 billion to spend on overloaded school systems,
bankrupted hospitals and overrun prisons. It would leave highways cleaner,
safer and less congested. Everyone could understand one another as English
became the dominate language again.
In Colorado, 500,000 illegal migrants, plus their 300,000 kids and
grand-kids - would move back “home,” mostly to Mexico . That would save
Coloradans an estimated $2 billion (other experts say $7 BIL) annually in
taxes that pay for schooling, medical, social-services and incarceration
costs. It means 12,000 gang members would vanish out of Denver alone.
Colorado would save more than $20 million in prison costs, and the terror
that those 7,300 alien criminals set upon local citizens. Denver Officer Don
Young and hundreds of Colorado victims would not have suffered death,
accidents, rapes and other crimes by illegals.
Denver Public Schools would not suffer a 67 percent drop out/flunk out rate via thousands of illegal alien students speaking 41 different languages. At least 200,000 vehicles would vanish from our gridlocked cities in Colorado .
Denver ‘s four percent unemployment rate would vanish as our working poor would gain jobs at a living wage.
In Florida , 1.5 million illegals would return the Sunshine State back to
America , the rule of law and English.
In Chicago , Illinois , 2.1 million illegals would free up hospitals, schools,
prisons and highways for a safer, cleaner and more crime-free experience.
If 20 million illegal aliens returned “home”:
If 20 million illegal aliens returned “home,” the U.S. economy would return
to the rule of law. Employers would hire legal American citizens at a living
wage. Everyone would pay their fair share of taxes because they wouldn’t be working off the books. That would result in a n additional $401 billion in
IRS income taxes collected annually, and an equal amount for local state and city coffers.
No more push ‘1’ for Spanish or ‘2’ for English. No more confusion in
American schools that now must contend with over 100 languages that degrade the educational system for American kids. Our overcrowded schools would lose
more than two million illegal alien kids at a cost of billions in ESL and
free breakfasts and lunches.
We would lose 500,000 illegal criminal alien inmates at a cost of more than
$1.6 billion annually. That includes 15,000 MS-13 gang members who
distribute $130 billion in drugs annually would vacate our country. In
cities like L.A, 20,000 members of the “18th Street Gang” would vanish from
our nation. No more Mexican forgery gangs for ID theft from Americans! No
more foreign rapists and child molesters!
Losing more than 20 million people would clear up our crowded highways and
gri dlock. Cleaner air and less drinking and driving American deaths by
illegal aliens!
Drain on America ‘s economy; taxpayers harmed, employers get rich:
Over $80 billion annually wouldn’t return to their home countries by cash
transfers. Illegal migrants earned half that money untaxed, which further
drains America ‘s economy - which currently suffers an $8.7 trillion debt.
At least 400,000 anchor babies would not be born in our country, costing us
$109 billion per year per cycle. At least 86 hospitals in California ,
Georgia and Florida would still be operating instead of being bankrupted out
of existence because illegals pay nothing via the EMTOLA Act. Americans
wouldn’t suffer thousands of TB and hepatitis cases rampant in our
country-brought in by illegals unscreened at our borders.
Our cities would see 20 million less people driving, polluting and grid
locking our cities. It would also put the “progressives” on the horns of a
dilemma; illegal aliens and their families cause 11 percent of our
greenhouse gases.
Over one million of Mexico’s poorest citizens now live inside and along our
border from Brownsville , Texas to San Diego , California in what the New York
Times called, “colonias” or new neighborhoods. Trouble is, those living
areas resemble Bombay and Calcutta where grinding poverty, filth, diseases,
drugs, crimes, no sanitation and worse. They live without sewage, clean
water, streets, electricity, roads or any kind of sanitation. The New York
Times reported them to be America ‘s new “ Third World “ inside our own
country. Within 20 years, at their current growth rate, they expect 20
million residents of those colonias. (I’ve seen them personally in Texas and
Arizona ; it’s sickening beyond anything you can imagine.) By enforcing our
laws, we could repatriate them back to Mexico .
High integrity, ethical invitation:
We invite 20 million aliens to go home, fix their own countries and/or make
a better life in Mexico . We invite a million people into our country legally
more than all other countries combined annually. We cannot and must not
allow anarchy at our borders, more anarchy within our borders and growing
lawlessness at every level in our nation.
It’s time to stand up for our country, our culture, our civilization and our
way of life.
this is pretty much the way bush handled the border
Ping!
It takes about 5 people to fill 1 post 24 jhours a day, seven days a week. Includes days off, management and supervision costs, vacations, sick leave etc.
Awesome post. Deserves a thread of it’s own.
But then the democrats would not have Hispanics to exploit for political empowerment, the federal oligarchy would not have the illegals to ‘care for’, and the democrat party dream of crashing the American economy in order to install the final federal solution would fail and the democrat party scum would be exposed for the anti-American bastards they are. ... And that doesn’t even take into account the sudden decline in Republican exploitation of the issues!
