Get Ready, Texas; Here It Comes Again! 2015 To Bring Another Crush Of Immigrants To Border Towns?

2015-04-11T11:19:53-04:00

News reports indicate that the massive flow of Central American women and children that overwhelmed our Border Patrol Officers in Texas last summer are on their way north again. Oh, and ISIS and other bad actors are still trying to find ways into our nation as well. Is this the year we finally get our priorities squared away on our southern border?

Border Surge Likely Again In 2015, Data Shows

The flow of Central American migrant families across the Texas border is continuing at almost the same level as a year ago, according to newly released federal data. In the last three months of 201

I'm happy to see that someone else sees that "blaming someone" is not the same thing as "fixing things".

Does it really matter who the first person to allow an "undocumented immigrant" to remain in the US contrary to the laws of the United States of America was? Does it really matter if more "undocumented immigrants" were allowed to stay in the United States of America under a "Republicrat" or a "Demlican" administration? Does it really matter that large amounts of produce would be rotting in the fields if "undocumented immigrants" weren't harvesting it? Does it really matter why "cheap foreign labour" is undercutting the living standards of Americans (especially when that "cheap foreign labour" doesn't have to pay American taxes [because it is not in America])?

Face it, IF you couldn't make enough money to feed your family and stood a realistic chance of being caught up in high intensity gang warfare and knew that you could escape the criminals (be they "non-government" or "government") and make a better life for yourself and your family by sneaking across the US/Canada border into Canada as an "undocumented immigrant" the odds on you doing it are pretty damn high.

I wish I could've chosen both b and c. I heard before the little teletext came out that ISIS/ISISL and the Taliban were using this to get over the border. A friends fiance works on the border and they were warned hence the phone call to me. No one believed it when I told them because there's "NO WAY THIS GROUP WOULD WORK WITH MEXICANS! THEY'RE NOT MUSLIM! THEY WOULD BEHEAD THEM" Cue eye roll. All Taqiyya is being practiced at the WH as well. Anything to take the Western giant down! Living in Texas, this is no shock and when our governor wanted to do more, he was labled a racist. Obama won't let fixing the borders happen . period

There is no way that many people can be picked through to find a terrorist. What is going on here with allowing them to cross over. Is that why all our men were sent over seas so we have less here to defend our country?

I am severely dissapointed in American immigration policy as a rule. This land was meant to be a land of compassion.

"Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering Limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
MOTHER OF EXILES. From her beacon-hand
GLOWS WORLD WIDE WELCOME; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities fame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your stories pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "GIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR,
YOUR HUDDLED MASSES YEARNING TO BREATHE FREE,
THE WRETCHED REFUSE OF YOUR TEEMING SHORE.
SEND THESE, THE HOMELESS, TEMPEST-TOSSED TO ME,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

I capitalized the parts there for emphasis. Is this nothing but a lie to you?

I implore you all, please do your part to make sure the spirit of what this country was meant to be remains alive and strong. Because as it stands now, that spirit is itself sickly and dying. Send them here, we are the land of the free and we damn sure better not keep up this trend of turning away people who only want to better their lives.

All this anti immigration bullshit being brandished about like a rallying flag of hate by men and women who are themselves the children of immigrants accomplishes nothing but to make Lady Liberty and the spirits of our founders weep in despair.

The examples of terrorism within our borders that I know of involved citizens or visas.

Illegal border crossing doesn't seem to be related.

Perhaps we should look to, and emulate Australia's new illegal immigration policy. " Not a single illegal crossing in 7 months "

Obama vowed to “transform America” if elected, he is now bringing 100,000 Muslims a month into America, and additional transients. He once labeled OEF vets returning from overseas, as terrorists...
So in my mind this administration is importing, and fueling revolution. While overloading all the safeguards (FBI, Military, and Police) the truth is now a lie; and the fear of "saying so" will soon stop anyone with "good sense" in speaking out, just like in the late 30's by our then enemies.
I've been a Republican since Reagan, but "they too" seem to be in this "hot bed"; only for power and control over peoples' lives alike, this is what our founders feared... So, if I disappear, you'll know why...

I think this has to be one of the most important issues that must be addressed immediately. With that being said the current administration has left too many things that must be fixed immediately. So then the real question becomes what does the consensuses of the American People see as the biggest priorities for our public servants to focus on, and secondly how do we hold them accountable to serve the public's will?

I've written many a paper on illegal immigration explaining all the reasons why it needs to be stopped and I've even told my congressman to do something. As if something has been done I haven't seen a difference yet. Most of everyone that has taken a read of my papers think I'm crazy or making it seem worse than the problem actually is. Hopefully this problem will be corrected soon and maybe grow a pair to defend what we all know to be right...
