Democrat Congressman Surprises Candy Crowley by Blaming Obama for Border Crises
NewsBusters ^ | July 6, 2014 | P.J. Gladnick

It must have seemed to Candy Crowley like a surefire way to inspire a spirited debate by inviting both Democrat Congressman Henry Cuellar of Laredo, Texas and Mayor Alan Long of Murrieta, California to appear together on today's State of the Union on CNN to discuss the border crises. Well, to Candy's great surprise (and probably costernation) they both pretty much agreed about the situation and placed the blame on the Obama administration.

The biggest surprise to Crowley must have been the response of Congressman Cuellar as you can see in this video (and after the jump) making the point not just once but twice about the poor response of the Obama administration. As he is making his points, Mayor Long can be heard agreeing with him as Crowley noted.

Yep. bozo may have bitten of more than he can chew.

I grew up on LI with Newsday. They are a liberal rag preaching to a largely liberal public. I stopped buying the paper in 1995 because they were hard left America haters and I simply got sick of them and their lying slant on news.

Saw an oped from Newsday yesterday that might have been written by any editor the paper ever employed-—then I read the comments! DAMN! It was like reading a thread from FR. I only read the first page but ALL, with the exception of one which was unclear in it’s meaning, were phrased as accurately and bluntly as any FR thread on the subject. obozo is losing LI NY...

Henry Cuellar’s story is pretty much the American Dream. More Mexican Americans of substance may be on the right of this issue than you might think.

keep in mind that it was the RANCHERS on the border that DEMANDED no fence be built, as that would cut off access to the river. One of those IDIOTS was on this site.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but here goes:

I believe that's because the US proposals have been nonsensical and have resulted in federal control of water rights ultimately favoring Mexico without recognizing that Mexico has been cheating on water allocation for generations (and would like that to be institutionalized as the status quo). The idea it's merits but the ranchers on the border have no expectation of any outcome but wasteful pointlessness. That's happened at least 4-5 times in my recollection. Everyone is unhappy to compromise on it.

This is because the border is in the wrong place.

Probably the most sensible solution would be to move the border about 200 miles south and declare south of the current border as a frontier, then set standards to move the frontier line south towards the new border as people get their act together. I suspect some of the border communities would opt into the US in quick order, especially if free trade zones are preserved. The indians on the border, eg the Tohono O'odham don't want a border wall that would divide their nation. Why don't we extend the border south and get them back their land? The Mexican Gov't may respect the rights of the indian nations in theory but not in practice; contrast that with the US Border Patrol bending over backwards in actual practice to support the reservation police and help ensure the reservation is...reserved for the indians...
