President Obama and his administration fail at many of the basics of governing a free republic, but the two things they seem to excel at are creating scandals and lying about them.
After the recent VA scandal, the IRS targeting ordeal, and of course, Benghazi, much of the nation already believes that Barack Obama lies about pretty much everything.
This is why it will likely not shock Americans, especially those who are well informed, to find out that the president has been telling fibs about the border crisis. The president has stated that he has deported more illegals than any other president, but a new document from ICE paints a different picture.
A recent memo leaked from the Department of Homeland Security indicates that public assertions made recently by the administration have been a little less than honest.
Much of the information contained in the memo, leaked by a confidential source, demonstrates that the major cause of the current immigration crisis is the refusal by the government to deport unaccompanied minors who come into the country.
via Breitbart:
The report, identified as “De-Classified” and “Law Enforcement Sensitive,” reveals the fact that only 0.1 percent of the Central American minors illegally entering the U.S. having been deported in Fiscal Year 2013, down from two percent prior, plays a significant role in why the current border crisis is occurring.
The DHS-ICE agency report admits the fact that 98 percent are allowed to stay is a significant draw for the minors to come into the United States. The agency acknowledges that conditions in Central America play a role in why the wave is occurring, but directly contradicts the assertion that such conditions are the only significant reason the crisis exists. The report directly contradicts any assertion U.S. government refusals to deport illegal immigrants is not a significant factor in why the crisis is occurring.
the host nations to stop the flow to the nations wanting their nationals to send money back home from the United States. The report also indicates that family members from the host nations already residing in the U.S. is a major draw for the current crisis. This indicates that illegal aliens already within the U.S. are possibly drawing more to illegally migrate north.
The report states:
Migration pull factors include reunification with family members already in the United States and successful migration attempts; that is, most (98 percent)
OTM UCs are issued a Notice to Appear and not immediately removed from the United States. Last year, only 1,700 UCs were repatriated to their home countries.” The report also clarifies the statement: HSI-Intel assesses with high confidence that reunification with family members already in the United States continues to be a pull factor for UCs from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras.
The report also states:
No single factor causes OTM UC migration to the United States. Rather, several factors combine to cause this, including poor economies and violence in home countries, potential employment opportunities in the United States, family reunification, and success at not being immediately repatriated drive OTM UC migration to the United States.
This is unacceptable. It seems very clear from the data in the report that Obama is helping to create this crisis to further his own political agenda, with little regard for the safety of the children crossing the border or the communities where these illegals are being shipped to.
Barack Obama is refusing to do the one duty the Constitution actually prescribes to his office, in favor of superseding Congress to implement immigration reform. With all of the other scandals and examples of corruption it’s time for this man to be impeached.
Actions also need to be taken immediately to enforce the law and start mass deporting the thousands of illegals who have crossed over into America, and then armed military patrols need to be deployed to shut down the border in order to bring this government created crisis to an end.
It would be a “bombshell” if this POS president we have actually told the truth once about something. I have reached the point, after his proven record of lying, to where I assume that everthing he says is a lie.
Honest, well-intentioned people do NOT need to hide behind a veil of lies.
It’s only a “bomb shell” if the liberal media says its a “bomb shell”... just because you say it’s “bomb shell” mews doesn’t mean it “bomb shel” news... sheesh, I thought we learned that lesson during the Clinton years.
Definition: “Bombshell”-
Whatever Daily Kos decides is a bombshell, because only then will the mainstream media cover it, late night comics make fun of it, and The Daily Show talk about it.
Baby!
