Border Crisis Poll: Public Turns Against Obama, Democrats & Media

[jem]

If there were a litmus test for drone moron deceptive liar... you just passed it with flying colors.

You are just like one of the drones Orwell warned us about. You do not even realize how far gone you are.

Security on the border has never been stronger.

Security on the border has never been stronger. Anyone who thinks otherwise is probably a deluded moron righty.

When Congress last tackled immigration reform, in 2007, there were 15,000 Border Patrol agents; today there are 21,000. Ten Predator drones patrol the skies, tower-mounted cameras dot the deserts and ground sensors monitor land movements. Mitch Merriam, deputy commander of the Arizona Joint Field Command, says he had enough agents until sequestration cuts forced the patrol to get “pretty darn creative”. According to the Migration Policy Institute, a think-tank, border enforcement costs $18 billion a year, more than all other federal criminal-law-enforcement agencies combined.

Most of America’s 2,000-mile southern border is tighter than it has ever been. Greater use of surveillance technology may reduce crossings further. Yet the growth in numbers from Central America shows how strong the “push” factors behind migration remain. America’s politicians may or may not find a way to declare the border “secure”. But if Mexico’s economy stutters, or violent crime soars again, the magnets of high wages, jobs and security across the border will prove too powerful for many to resist.

LOL! You could put 100,000 border agents into service. If they're changing diapers it doesn't mean the border is stronger. It just means you have more agents.

Exactly. There's a difference between securing and closing the border vs. letting anyone walkover and surrender to the first authority they meet knowing they will be granted access.

OK good, just so we're all clear about the fact that the border security has never been stronger. Waves of children running toward the agents do not change that fact. And the reason why they must be taken in is because of a law that Bush signed.

It's pretty pathetic when saying easily checked facts is considered crazy. Wow you guys are really ignorant douchebags.

I find it amusing that you took Lucrum and me off ignore. I guess you finally got upset that we were having a bunch of fun and wanted to make sure you could respond with your positively scathing comebacks, right?
