Governors livid over border crisis
Politico ^ | July 11, 2014 | Kyle Cheney

The surge of Latin American children trying to cross the U.S. border threatens to strain states’ resources and is testing their already fragile relationship with Washington, governors from both parties warned Friday.

As they gathered here for a meeting of the National Governors Association, the state leaders seethed at what they said was a lack of support and information from the federal government.

The border crisis was on the tip of nearly every governor’s tongue in the early part of their meeting here, yet the group passed on the chance to grill Vice President Joe Biden on the subject when he appeared before them Friday.

When I saw Obama use his left hand to grasp Perry’s shoulder I knew Perry was putty.

Perry's all hat and no cattle....he will soon find out what happens when one stupidly consorts with The Prince.

We need a bunch of Crocketts. This country is in serious trouble. We’re being invaded. We’re weak militarily. We have more debt than we can ever pay off. We have a muslim, (our arch enemies) in the white house. And half the people in this country still love him because they’re so damned stupid.

What I don’t understand is why the so called patriotic political leaders don’t attempt to do something. Apparently there are none who are patriots.

The only hope for this country is a military coup and that won’t happen since everyone has sat on their asses and allowed Obama to purge the military leaders and put his own people in. Every dictator in history did the same thing yet not enough people saw it happening here.

The other option is for some states to start seceding. There’s no doubt in my mind the majority of people in Texas would support it. If Texas goes, lots of states will follow.

These are extreme solutions. But we are in bad a situation.

Obama started to do that crap to Putin then pulled his hand back. I was hoping Perry wouldn’t allow him to do it. But I was expecting it. Truthfully, it’s going to take a “Putin” to save U.S.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, said Congress and the Obama administration need time to develop a “plan of action for the country.”

Of course Chickenpooper abdicates all responsibility as chief executive of CO. He needs all of the new Dem voters he can get to stay in office this Nov.

Putin---or the brilliant tactician now governing Egypt.

Gen Al Sisi threw the savage Muslim Brotherhood out of Egyptian politics.

Al Sisi also refused to take Obama's call during the post-Morsi crisis....b/c he knew Obozo wanted to deter him for the M/B initiative.

Al Sisi got his master's degree from the War College in Carlisle, PA.

but are they going to do anything about it...?

If three or four of those border governors called the National Guard up at the same time, it would've been tough for Obama to bring the move down. Martinez, Brewster, and Perry are no better than the sellouts already in DC. They had an opportunity and didn't seize it....disgusting.

I did notice the caveat "If".

Staying tuned.

No. They have the power to put their National Guard and state defense forces on the border but they don't.

The game is over and soetoro / jarrett / soros won while the Republicans stood by and watched.

The feds recently admitted to catching and releasing into the US 320,000 illegals from Central America since April and they think they might only catch 1 out of 5 border crossers.

Don't forget that every female illegal over the age of 12 is now probably pregnant with an anchor baby, the ticket to welfare for life in gringoland.

like Murrieta, they wouldn’t tell where, or who, or how many or for how long or how to handle the social or medical services situation.

Now I’m not a Rex84-concentration-camp believer much, but it seems to me that a lot of facilities have been identified by some of those who do think along those lines. There’s even a list somewhere - probably even on Goggle. The question then begs, why aren’t these facilities being used?

Is it control of the visual again? Rather than house these illegals on decommissioned military bases or empty government facilities, is the visual intentionally being led to the public that churches are welcoming these immigrants? And if churches are, we should also? Is the Left again using an illusion of religion as part of psychological warfare on Christians?

Governors livid over border crisis

I'll believe it when a governor activates their State's national guard with orders to forcibly secure the border.
Until then I consider it all Kabuki.

Great idea except where the Feds control the border...they’re ushering them through. You can’t block those holes. You’re going to shoot Homeland Security Guys and Federal Guards?
