The public largely blames President Obama for the flood of children who have poured over the border in recent weeks, creating a growing humanitarian crisis, according to the latest IBD/TIPP Poll released Monday.

The late June survey found that the public largely blames Obama policies for the crisis in Iraq and believes the lost IRS emails are an administration effort to cover up wrongdoing at the agency.

The poll found that 59% of those closely following the immigration crisis agree that "current administration policies and lack of focus on securing the border" are behind the human tide of illegal crossings. Six in 10 say ...

Poll: 95% of the filthy, ignorant, sub-human filth who blame him would vote for him for the rest of their lives if they could.

The citizens know he has issued orders to ICE to back off to intentionally create this very situation. Now that its here, its the Republicans fault for not passing laws to fund and fix immigration.

We’re not all that stupid.

We saw what you did there.

With Obama, terrorists before all Americans.

With Obama, criminals before all Americans.

With Obama, Iranians before all Americans.

With Obama, illegals before all Americans.

The most compelling questions: how did so many get here so quickly? Where did their "impoverished elders" get the $8000 cash to transport them here? Did they have "inside info"...did they have guarantees that they'd be riding the US gravy train once they crossed the "border"?....

Illegals Central America trek---they had lotsa help.

Of course he is responsible you don’t need no stinkin’ Poll.

Polls did nothing to prevent his election then his reelection. Polls are never ever to be trusted.

Only 59%, eh?

What the hell ELSE could they blame.. glo-bull warming? The TEA Party? The Koch brothers? Sarah Palin?

If Americans actually had sufficient cranial activity, this number would be near 100%.

The slimes have failed to properly blame Bush.

With $5-$6 billion missing from Hillary’s state dept., Hilary can create a lot of havoc with that amount of money to get herself into the WH.

“If Americans actually had sufficient cranial activity, this number would be near 100%.”

That would be to presume that a far greater ratio of denizens of that territory once known as “the United States of America” actually considered themselves to be “Americans”, than is the actual case.

This country has been afflicted with a growing number of “Americans in name only” for many decades now and it threatens to become a permanent majority. I have long advocated the formation of a division of the real estate in this part of the North American continent into the “red” and “blue” regions. The “red” portion of the map, which compromises much the greater part of the territory, is nearly contiguous, and if a division were to be made, it should be drawn along congressional districts or county lines, not state boundaries. There would be scattered much smaller “blue” districts, each of which could form its own kind of governance, and adopt whatever set of cockamamie rules they want in order to establish their idea of “equality” in the new republic they would set up.

The “red” region would then be free to re-establish the principles and constitutional incentives that had served the nation once known as “the United States of America” so well during its first two centuries of existence.

There would be, of course, a period of flux, in which those trapped in a “blue” enclave would be allowed to emigrate to the “red” district, once it had been established that they were not some kind of deceitful double agent who intended to carry the virus of collectivism into the “red” district. Any person who harbored sympathies for the policies of the “blue” districts would be summarily expelled, without regard to status, family, or claims to holdings of any kind within the “red” district.

A very well policed boundary between the “red” district and the various “blue” enclaves would be established, with passage over this boundary very strictly regulated and only after the issuance of a visa for the limited purposes stated at time of application. Overstaying the visa is grounds for immediate expulsion, without hearings or appeals.

Considering he deliberately engineered it, I’m sorry to see the number isn’t higher.

The other 41% give him credit for it

Has it dawned on anyone else how sick and cruel this little gambit is for those children?

They are being actively encouraged to LEAVE THEIR PARENTS and make a dangerous journey of thousands of miles alone. We are splitting up families, which ultimately is the most tragic thing you can do to a child.

All for the future political benefit of the Democrat Party.

I’m with you. I don’t care if polls show 75% disapproval. We still have to deal with 2 1/2 more years of this POS, and then these same ‘disapproving’ voters will vote in another liberal POS.

Or did Obama and the Dems use our money to pay the $8000 for each kid/druggie to come here? The truth will out some day, just wait and see.

Found the body of an 11 year old, the other day. Obama has more blood on his hands.

And dont forget the $100 million intended for Haiti (where the Clinton spent their honeymoon) that Billy Boy got ahold of when Hillary was wielding the State Dept checkbook.
