Poll: 59% blame Obama for flood of child border crossings
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 06/30/2014 | John Merline

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 ...

But the split families is only temporary, don’t you see? The lawyers for these children are going to send people back to their country of origin, find all the family members (aunts, uncles, cousins, parent, gparents etc etc) and they will be brought here so these poor souls will again have a family.

All those will be new Dem voters, with new American citizenship and all the freebees you can imagine. Now that is the real plan here.

Amazing.

FoxNews poll this morning shows that 67% want those illegals already here to stay.

Ironic since Fox’s Murdoch met with Valeria Jarrett just a few days ago.

A couple of weeks ago, Brit Hume was decrying those who claimed allowing illegals to stay would be “amnesty.” He went on to say that NONE of the proposed immigration reform bills of the last 15 years even had the word “amnesty” in them.

[Ole Brit, parsing and nuancing like an amnesty pusher.]

Not bad, because around 38% would support Obama if he brought the children to the U.S. for ritualistic sacrifices and cannibalism. That only leaves around 3% uninformed.

Guess we now understand why Obama had his little rant yesterday.

And, your point is?

Lets face facts folks - the Emperor doesn’t care what the polls say. He has his agenda and he is immune to political fallout/pushback/whatever.

Until the RINOs grow some spine and other male body parts they have been lacking since the Reagan Presidency nothing is going to happen; supporting poll results or not.

IMHO, the second Republican Primary in Mississippi shows that RINOs at the state and national level are more concerned about maintaining their PERSONAL POLITICAL power than anything else. This political reality used to be only associated with the dimocratic party - now its associated with both. A pox on both of their houses - everywhere.

There is a direct corolation between his DREAM Executive Order last year, which basically gave amnesty to young people who crossed the border, and the influx of youths this year.

Last year the total number was between 4 and 6 thousand. This 1/2 year the number is between 60 and 90 thousand with projections of 150 thousand by the end of the year and potentially 250 thousand more next year.

This one IS on Obama — including the reported death of an 11-year-old victim.

In 2012 Obama decided to bypass Congress, He slackened border security and ordered immigration to stop deporting people entering illegally.

Now he is "going it alone" by giving illegals lawyers at taxpayer expense.

He continues to push because he knows congress will not oppose him. John Boehner has threatened to write Obama a letter!

Obama will be out of office in two years... He’ll go down in history as more corrupt than Nixon, more inept than Carter, and a bigger liar than Clinton. History’s ain’t gonna be kind...

Once again, African Americans hurting their own race as Obama will cast a shadow on other African Americans due to his corruption and ineptitude. All these so called Black Leaders never help their own race, really sad.

Yep.

This isn’t something that just happened, this took planning and coordination.

If they put out a notice for 65,000 escorts in January, then clearly they had to have come up with the idea and started planning for this months if not a year or more in advance.

Someone in the US govt. had to coordinate with the Mexican govt. a plan to let all the illegals travel through Mexico to get here.

That wasn’t done overnight and it wasn’t some 2 bit Podunk that did it.

It had to be someone high in the govt and there had to be an assurance the next president wouldn’t take any actions against Mexico.

Everyone tends to forget it was Hillary that got the entire “something needs to be done with illegals” debate started in 2005.

Remember in Zippo’s first term Hillary took a trip to Mexico and shazzam there was a disease outbreak and everyone started bracing for all the expected “refugees” fleeing the epidemic?

This has been tried before.

The 250k projection has been in many of articles related to the Child Invasion.

Why would it not increase, especially if those in CA/SA see that the current influx are getting the royal treatment?

So freaking what?!! I knew what a piece of trash he was before I even heard of him. But he doesn't care re public opinion. He's a single digit IQ buffoon who stumbled onto the presidency purely because he from da hood. He's got it made ......... for life, and nobody can touch that.

I'm tired of reading re his plummeting ratings. He doesn't care.

“Until the RINOs grow some spine and other male body parts they have been lacking since the Reagan Presidency nothing is going to happen.”

The hopes in RINOs ability to regenerate body parts, and their respective corresponding character defects, is still, thus far, the stuff of science fiction. They can’t help it. They were born that way. However, these inherent defects, and the accompanying psychopathy, make RINOs abnormally attracted to pleasurable experience and creature comforts, such as grandstanding, large bank accounts, popularity contests, mind altering substances, shiny things, and lollipops. Evidence has shown that moral obligations have no impact upon RINOs. The only effective means to direct the notorious RINO is leave a trail of shiny things and lollipops along a path leading in the desired direction. All other actions are futile.

The fear when John Kennedy ran for office was that he’d be ‘Catholic’ first - and ‘American’ second. Kennedy quickly put that fear to rest. He was an American President - and the country sighed the sigh of relief.

One of the hopes Americans had with Obama’s election was he would do the same - transcend race. Make race a ‘non-issue’ - in much the same way Kennedy made religion a ‘non-issue’. To follow in Kennedy’s careful footsteps. (Example: Kennedy had the wit NOT to put in a controversial Catholic AG who bristled at any possible slight to Catholics.)

Obama’s done the opposite... and you’re right - it’s sad. But the country will get past it - and someday a black person will be elected based on his ideas and beliefs and all this will be forgotten.

Whatever the plan is, in the interim these children are going to be irreparably damaged by the separation from their families. And Democrats are doing it deliberately.

We should just give the illegals Detroit. They can probably do a better job with it.
