Obama doesn't want to secure the Arizona border unless he gets something out of it
Or maybe the cummulative effect of illegals crossing over each year, the increased drug trafficing has finally reached a peak. It could be that the same would be happening if there was a (R) President. The bottom line the Feds need to do the job of immigration and border security. It has been failing for years and years.Funny how this became such a big deal when there was a (D) in the president's slot. The (R)'s seem to get a pass.
For those not wanting to or willing to watch the video posted (the pertinant part starts at about 3:15), here's the summary:
Obama doesn't want to secure the Arizona border unless he gets something out of it. On it's face that may seem to be a simple charge of "business as usual" yet, it is in direct violation the President's oath of office. Discharging and doing one's duty should not be held hostage to gain political points when, as it is in this case, people are dying, being kidnapped, and potentially our national security is being violated every day.
This is gross negligence and if what Kyle says occurred - it's gross negligence.

Interesting revelation. You have the date of when that town hall meeting took place? Be great to see how Obama would respond to Kyle's charge at the next presidential press conference.
(and what is up with that furry ball cap the guy on the left was wearing....? :shock
Yeah, that furry cap was distracting me through the whole clip...
Or because he knows that securing the border wont solve our immigration problem.Obama doesn't want to secure the Arizona border unless he gets something out of it.

Nearly Half of Illegal Immigrants Overstay Visas : NPR
no need for another amnesty ... anyone notice how ineffective the last one was to curtail illegal immigrationThats the way politics are done in Chicago, why would we expect anything else from the Obama administration. Since the last amnesty was granted by President Regan all American presidents have neglected to do there duty to secure the border. I am ok with Immigration reform with a path to citizenship if it comes with complete border security which must happen first. I would prefer deportation but I doubt that is going to take place, so we compromise, but only on the condition that the border is permanently secured first.
Again, the border is about half the problem. A lot of undocumented immigrants are people who overstay a work or student visa. Securing the border is extremely expensive and I dont see that basically locking down the border will save us enough money to justify doing it.Securing the border of the U.S. is the one duty he must complete - nothing by itself will solve our immigration problem - however, securing the border will be one step towards solving immigration problems, as well as protecting the people who are being killed and kidnapped in our own country. Securing the border is also necessary to uphold our own national security. Holding it hostage for political gain is negligent and irresponsible on Obama's part.

I do recall Americans rising up and telling DC to stop their stupid pursuit of amnesty.
Bush43 was president.
McCain was a supporter.
Republicans (and some others) told them No, no, no...
Or are we in a parallel universe?

no need for wasting lots of money to "secure" our borders
all we need to do is quit incentivizing illegal immigration and enforce existing laws*
any employer found to have an illegal immigrant in his employment would be subject to a $5,000 fine per infraction
and the person who notifies INS (now USCIS) of that illegal employee receives the $5,000 for their assistance in enforcing the immigration laws
while i said existing laws*, we would have to tweak some so that no illegal immigrant could attend a public school, get a drivers license, receive public healthcare (unless at risk of imminent death), or qualify for any form of public assistance
being without access to work and pubic assistance, that whoosh sound you would hear would be the caravan of vehicles making their way south of the border
problem solved; and the only expense would be the cost of law enforcement, which cost we already incur
“The President didn’t say that and Senator Kyl knows it," White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer told ABC News. "There are more resources dedicated toward border security today than ever before, but, as the President has made clear, truly securing the border will require a comprehensive solution to our broken immigration system.”
So, we agree, neither party really wants to deal with this issue as many would like them too?
Here's the latest:
Kyl's a liar according to the White House.

Don't doubt there is a degree of truth to what you say. But we shouldn't confuse this with being a "good thing".
