Who’s To Blame For The Border Crisis?
Hardhatters ^ | 07/10/2014 | Hal Hawkins

An overwhelming surge of tens of thousands of illegal alien children crossing our southern border has been happening in the past few months, everyone is looking for a scapegoat. Rather than seeking out a solution to end this surge, most would prefer to just point fingers. The blame game is a lot like sex. It sells. Unfortunately, most are rather biased in how they point fingers. Democrats blame Bush. Republicans blame Obama. Libertarians blame our open border as not being open enough. It’s never really that simple; however, as there are many areas to place blame, so we’re going to play this “game” right. What’s causing all these illegal alien children to come here so suddenly?

Obama and DACA

In all fairness, Obama is the chief executive of this country and oversees all border security and immigration departments. On June 15, 2012, the Obama administration announced rule changes called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). As you can see in the video below, Obama made the announcement publicly in the White House Rose Garden. According to him, the children brought here against their will are Americans “in every, single way but one, on paper.” The rule applies to nearly every illegal alien who was under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012, was under 16 when they came to America, and has resided in America continuously since 2007. While the last exception should rule out the thousands of illegal alien children that have come across the border over these past few months, this rule, when reaching the ears of Central Americans, could be easily misinterpreted as a free pass.

However, it’s very likely that most will receive a free pass, even those who do not qualify for DACA.

You are being an asshat. The following reveals your snooty agenda on this issue. Stick it: "This was the correct response."

Nice!

Attack the messenger because you don't want to answer the question or be honest about the failures of GWB!

Every sitting president since Kennedy... maybe Truman. We’ve known the border was ineffective for a long time.

Oh I answered your little dig, you just aren’t intelligent enough to comprehend what I posted and your agenda is 20 questions, not honest discussion. That is the essential definition of an asshat, skippy.

OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS THROW BLACKS UNDER THE BUS

By A. J. Delgado

One of the sleeper issues surrounding the debate on amnesty for illegal immigrants – an inconvenient one that no proponent of a widespread amnesty wishes to acknowledge – is the devastating effect so-called immigration reform will have on African Americans.

Why are Democratic politicians disregarding the concerns and needs of black Americans in a push to address the concerns and needs… of foreigners? Amnesty proponents speak of the need to grant others a better life – but what of the need to look out for our fellow Americans? What of those black Americans whose ancestors quite literally built this nation through the sweat of their brows?

Instead, Democrats are chucking aside black voters in their rush to lock in the Latino vote (or so they’re hoping). Taken for granted as a given come election-time, blacks are now actively harmed as the Democrats vow to grow their voting base through importing more and more of what they see as future blue-voters. It’s the husband who leaves his wife of 30 years: ‘We had a good run, honey, but I’ve found someone new.’

Democrats have built a brand as the party willing to stand up for black Americans, but the amnesty push shows what a false promise that was. The message to black voters is: “Yes, your ancestors endured unimaginable hardships and helped build this country, and we said we’d help you out. But now we have a new trophy wife.”

> OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS THROW BLACKS UNDER THE BUS

Well of course they are. The blacks’ usefulness is just about played out because the race card is about to expire and they only make up about 12 % of the nationwide population. The Hispanics are being coddled now because they are projected to be 50 % of the population and have such a fast production rate. With Obama pumping up the brown population with the new treasonous illegal immigration importing shenanigans whoever gets the brown vote will win the elections in the future. Wouldn’t it be ironic if it backfired on them and ensured only conservatives won elections in the future. The Demoncrats wouldn’t be able to erect a fence fast enough.
