[Rational Thought]

Can you imagine what the Democrat stance would be if the Illegals were Conservatives? We would have the Great Wall of China on our border.

[Venturer]

They may as well remove them, they were only placed there for “show” anyway.

“Is Glenn Beck correct in that the only reasonable explanation for what Obama’s doing is to “provoke” us?”

Initially, I thought no. I just assumed he was a power hungry socialist who wants to “transform” this country into a socialist nation. However, I am now changing my mind. Why else ignore the border and the deaths? Why support the TSA and this obvious invasion of privacy and the fact that the Muslims get off scott free? Why the house bill that won’t allow a person to grow tomatoes in their own backyard? If demonstrations take place, and violence/destruction occurs, can’t he enact some sort of power that would prevent the 2012 elections?

[SWAMPSNIPER]

There were never any plans for the Guard to do anything significant anyway. Heaven help any poor guardsman who offended a wetback!

[C210N]

This little action says all that need to be said about his marxist agenda...

Going way back to what this marxist quisling was up to in Honduras also said all that needed to be said.

[C210N]

... and Kenya/Odinga before that.

[Squantos]

No game is won when offense is not allowed .......

Clearly Erkel Mugabes ROE for this “game” have eliminated or disallowed any offense an much of the defense to forward his agenda.

Going to hang a BHO Christmas ornament from my Christmas tree....

First off I did not read the article at the link. (browser issues)

But from the bit you posted: New Southwest Security plan?

Laughable.

Regarding Beck.
Either my TSH levels are too high making me uptight/scared or Beck is really on to some heavy doo doo. I will know in a few weeks per blood work order.

I have been away from the internet for a few days but wonder if the Grab Muh Gun the new Civil War Posters have been around here.

If they are for real we will know when the doo doo hits the fan. I tend to think they are nothing more than a resounding gong.

The prepare plan Beck has been advising is nothing new to Freepers as allot of us started doing that years ago.

[Global2010]

Oh and I wonder if those NG troops he sent ever even made it past the office pencil pushing work out into the field.

[Global2010]

Wow I see humor in that but OTOH not a bad idea.

[Happy Rain]

Big deal—they were just picking up the illegal alien cigarette butts anyway.

[Right Wing Assault]

In other news, the White House has announced that, under a new security plan, the presidential Secret Service staff is being reduced by 90% by laying off older personnel. Additionally personnel will be unarmed and will not carry communications equipment. The black Chevy Suburban vehicles will be replaced with powder blue Chevy Volts.

[Lil Flower]

Our Government is ANTI- American! We have allowed our enemies to rule over us! They want murdering drug gangs and terrorists free entry into our country but they molest nuns and our children in our airports. And what are we doing about it? Nothing.

This move is irrelevant in its impact on border security. As posters above have said, the ones deployed on the border weren’t actually protecting the border, they shuffled papers and ran errands at best.

It was just another political stunt.

[Red Dog #1]

No surprise at all. The deployment began just soon enough before the election for news stories to run about the President getting serious about illegal immigration. Since the election is over, there’s no reason for the charade to continue.

[dajeeps]

Time for states to take back the milita. The president may be able to call them back if they have been called into the service of the United States, but the Constitution does not usurp control over them when not in service of the United States.

Enumerated powers of Congress:

To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

Article II - The Executive
Section 2:
"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States..."

[Carley]

Just waiting for the elections to be over.

Scammed the citizens living in danger on our borders.

[OneWingedShark]

US Constitution
ARTICLE 4, SECTION. 4.
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
**and shall protect each of them against Invasion**; and on Application of the Legislature, or of
the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

[ABQHispConservative]

Payback for having the good people here in NM vote for a great conservative for Governor, and for losing the house seat in southern NM.

[Graybeard58]

If demonstrations take place, and violence/destruction occurs, can’t he enact some sort of power that would prevent the 2012 elections?

This was said of Abraham Lincoln and George Bush.......and probably every President in between.
