Illegal Aliens Continue to Cross Border

It seems we have been down this road before.  Illegal aliens crossing the border into the USA is nothing new.  It seems those south of the USA think they have this God-given right to come here by any method necessary to assure themselves a piece of the welfare pie.  Jobs are thought to be the major attraction for illegal aliens.  But, if people will be honest with themselves, they will admit that social services such as "free" food stamps, welfare, social security benefits for anchor babies are the big attraction.  With that thought in mind, it is no surprise to me to learn that illegal aliens and drug smugglers have doubled since two things have taken place.  One, Sequestration , is the easy pick as the blame for out of control border activity.  The Obama administration thinks we are dumb enough  to think $85 billion loss of spending is going to cause untold disasters domestically and internationally.  Of course, cutting back border patrol agent hours is another excuse for Obama to continue his war on America.  Secondly, most importantly, the talk of amnesty in a new immigration law package has potential illegals all over Central America salivating.  Border Patrol agents are saying illegal crossings have doubled and possibly even tripled as Congress rushes to push through another unenforceable immigration law package they have no intention of enforcing except to give a "path to citizenship" aka amnesty to illegals.

It the report linked above is true, there will be hours of the day when the border will not be patrolled at all.  Does anyone think that illegals will not increase now?  Obama wants to blame this on Sequestration.  This is just an excuse by the Obama Administration.  Obama has no intention of enforcing border security.  The Democratic Party is pinning their hopes on illegals getting amnesty and citizenship as a result.  Republicans, fools that they are, think that Hispanics will vote for them if they support amnesty.  The GOP is about to commit political suicide.  As  a result, the USA will eventually become nothing more than a third-world country.  There is no serious debate on allowing a path to citizenship to illegals who broke our laws.  Our political leaders don't want a debate.  They just want to make this a law "so they can see what is inside the bill," as Nancy Pelosi so famously said once. Meanwhile, the border remains as lawless as ever.  Who knows what is coming across that border now? 

Does Obama Really Want to Avert Sequester?

Another month, another deadline, another crisis in Obama World. If it's not the Fiscal Cliff, it's the debt ceiling.  If it's not the debt ceiling, it's trying to avert a March 1 deadline for automatic across-the-board spending cuts.  If Sequester does occur, then there will be an immediate $85 billion cut in government services.  Obama Zombies tell us federal agents would be immediately furloughed, police and firemen will not be paid and, of course, schoolteachers will not be paid.  Obama says people will lose their jobs and unemployment will start to rise.  Funny, he just now wants to address jobs and the economy when a manufactured crisis occurs.  Ordinarily, Obama is trying to get citizenship and jobs for illegal aliens.  That appears to be his top priority right now.

 Again, Obama and the Democrats bring up their strawman of the wealthiest Americans not being fairly taxed enough.  How often have we seen this movie from the Democrats?  It always has the same ending.  Republicans, for their part, propose spending cuts, changes in the tax code.  Republicans continue to reiterate they would overhaul the tax system to reduce rates, not to raise revenue.   In Democratic language, "revenue" is increasing your taxes.  Republicans are cowards, as I have said before on this blog.  But, Democrats are too cowardly to just tell you upfront they want to raise your taxes.  They see visions of Walter Mondale when they start talking about raising your taxes.  It seems odd Obama wants to do something about the debt by "increasing revenue."  He and the Democrats have never shown any concern for our rising national debt.

Republicans are telling people to be prepared for massive spending cuts due to the Sequester in a couple of weeks.  Democrats seemingly are full of themselves and are not concerned about what is about to happen.  They want to increase your taxes without really saying it.  Republicans are saying taxes are off the table.  But, I tend to believe Republicans will cave-in to a degree and claim victory.  So, will the Democrats.  You see, neither party gives a damn about you or I.  They care about making themselves look good to the public.  They care about being reelected.  Nothing else really matters to politicians. That goes for both Democrats and Republicans equally.
