illegal immigration update
"All you need to do is look at the headlines out of Central America to see why tens of thousands of children are ending up at our border.
[...]
No wonder we have so many refugees at our door.
Except there’s one hitch: All of these headlines are very old. The first is from 1987, the last from 2007. And yet, over those two decades, we never saw anything like what we are seeing today."
It's yet another Big Lie. And (yes there is a liberal media) is in on it.
"Something else is going on. To be sure, this doesn’t mean that the children at the border aren’t fleeing horrible conditions, violence, and poverty. But horrible conditions are not exactly new to Central America.
In other words, the new variable isn’t what’s happening down there, it’s what’s happened up here."
When Politics Trumps Border Security
This is my one objection to the Goldberg piece.
"Some of my friends on the right think the border crisis is some grand political scheme of Obama’s, that he in effect wants a border crisis. I think that’s wrong. Buffeted by scandals and the growing realization by large swaths of the public that he is out of his depth, the last thing he needed was this tragic spectacle on the border."
First, Goldberg needs to look up Major Garrett reporting on the theory of "Stray Voltage". The White House LOVES all of these scandals.
Second, are you kidding me? HOw blindly naive do these people have to be? Everyone knows Obama, Democrats, (and the GOP.e) want to jam through immigration "reform" (amnesty) prior to the mid term elections. Obama gave a deadline before he'd act unconstitutionally, arbitrarily, unlawfully, again. Suddenly, a month before that deadline, a Children's Crusade shows up at the border, letting every scumbag liberal scream "for the childreeeeeeen". Wake the hell up.
