White House now faults Republicans for weak border security

After previously saying America’s borders are more secure than ever, the White House on Tuesday seemingly blamed Republicans for apparent holes along the southern boundary, evidenced by the flood of unaccompanied children streaming into the U.S. from Mexico, Central America and elsewhere.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest challenged Republicans, if they are truly concerned about border security, to back the comprehensive immigration reform package.

Get on board, Josh? Like the *chilrens* riding in from Mexico and Central America?

The White House is saying that they will continue to refuse to enforce immigration laws, until the Republicans pass several new immigration laws, which they will immediately begin ignoring and not enforcing!

FUBO!

Obama that is almost as funny on what is causing the Iraqi civil war according to Al Gore, which is Global warming.

In 2017 you and Gore should do a comedy tour, Obama. It might be good for America...unless you want to start the tour now. We wouldn't mind...

The GOP should fire back in press conference that there has been an immigration reform package on the table for 5 years but Harry Reid has refused to bring it to the floor.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen. Perhaps someone could ship some spines to the GOP members.

The Queer-In-Charge don’t like the one thing that would be the greatest tool for border security:

An M-1 Garand rifle, with bayonet fixed!

Says the red diaper doper baby who prohibits Republican governors from enforcing their own border security.

To be fair, the Republican party does share the blame -- at least insofar as the national-/federal-level is concerned.
