Open-Border President Swings Open The Floodgates
IBD Editorials ^ | July 11, 2012

Security: In the twisted logic of this administration, the "most secure" border ever just got more so with the announced closing of nine patrol stations in four states. Check points? We don't need no stinkin' check points.

When in Beaverton, Ore., in May 2008, candidate Barack Obama said he'd campaigned in 57 states with one left to go, it was treated by his defenders as a campaign fatigue-induced gaffe.

Judging by his recent actions as president, maybe he meant 57 and the missing seven are the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Sonora, Coahuila, Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Durango and Baja California on or near the U.S. border.

He recently engaged in what one columnist called the "naked lawlessness" of granting de facto amnesty and work permits to 800,000 illegal immigrants who claim they were brought here as children. It was a shameless attempt to win Hispanic votes, placing Obama's re-election bid above the nation's border security at a time when millions of American citizens can't find work.

Now it's come to this: The Obama administration has announced plans to close nine Border Patrol stations across Texas, California, Montana and Idaho. Granted, waves of illegal aliens aren't flooding across our northern border. But we suspect that Idaho and Montana were thrown in to disguise another bid to win the Latino vote.

One soon-to-be-shuttered station in Amarillo, Texas, is right in the middle of the I-40 corridor.

Texas, one of the states with which the Obama administration is at war over this and other issues, bears the brunt of the closures, losing six out of the nine stations to be closed — in Lubbock, Amarillo, Dallas, San Angelo, Abilene and San Antonio. The other three are in Billings, Mont.; Twin Falls, Idaho; and Riverside, Calif.

It is not just the Mexicans that the floodgates are being opened for... Obama has just made it easier for terrorist that want to chop off the heads of you and your loved ones.

Meanwhile, Obama has been working on disarming America and splitting up the American people in as many pieces as possible.

Perhaps I should buy another box of tinfoil, but it seems to me that there just might be a plan that goes far beyond just politics.

He’s short on votes so is hoping to get some of the border crossings to help him at the polls.

I need to buy a few boxes myself, but it won’t be tinfoil.
