Update – Numbers revised: 82 shot, 14 killed in 84 hours during July Fourth weekend in Chicago (link)
CHICAGO – At least 11 people were killed and 60 others wounded citywide in shootings in Chicago over the Fourth of July weekend, reports CBS Chicago. There were also six police-involved shootings, two of which involved teens who were killed.
In the most recent fatal shooting, an unidentified 44-year-old woman was shot at a barbecue around 12:30 a.m. Monday in the city’s Morgan Park neighborhood, according to the station. She was shot as she leaned into a car in a parking lot and was pronounced dead at the scene.
“While to date we have had the fewest murders since 1963, one victim is too many and there is clearly much more work to be done,” said police spokesman Martin Maloney. (more…)
Important factoid as you watch – “Illinois” Senator Dick Durbin blocked the use a Chicago facility to house some of the disease infested illegals.
I could spend all day deconstructing these insufferable dolts.
You’ll note he said “Bush signed law in 2008” ? I’m assuming you heard that.
That would be the “William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008“, or more specifically signed by Bush December 23rd of 2008.
Hmmm… wait a minute…. December 2008? By chance, what do you think happened in November of 2008 ?
(Hint: Election) HR7311 – William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 – Wait, that makes this a lame duck signing right before leaving office….. and who was in control of both Houses of Congress – who would have constructed such a bill ?
Hmmmm… perhaps, maybe, per chance… Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid in the Senate with… wait for it,… a filibuster proof super-majority.
And when was the bill HR7311 voted and passed by the Democrats in congress…. wait for it… Brought to floor on December 9th 2008 and voted upon on December 10th 2008. After the previous month’s election that President Elect Barack Obama won. And as the Democrats knew they now held the House of Reps (Pelosi), the Senate (Reid) and the White House (Obama)….. Boy they moved fast on that one !
But wait, it gets even better…. (more…)
This entire media mantra around the illegal crossing of our border is getting on my last nerve. Will someone please just call it like it is.
“We do that which is important to us”
President Obama has intentionally created this crisis to give leverage to his goals of changing the landscape of American social construct. This administration is pushing for amnesty for illegal aliens, and consequentially the collapse their political opposition. To reach that goal the current U.S. administration is intentionally asking illegal aliens to swarm our nations borders – and supporting them toward that end.
If President Obama wanted to stop the crisis, he could order it stopped in less than 48 hours. He doesn’t.
HOUSTON, Texas–As illegal immigrants continue to spill across the U.S.-Mexico border, federal authorities are attempting to relocate the migrants from South Texas to housing facilities in states across the nation. One such facility is located in Murrieta, California, where a large group of protesters recently blocked a bus full of migrants from arriving.
The protesters remain there, adamant that illegal immigrants don’t get dumped in their town. But soon the concerned citizens may be forced to step down–Breitbart Texas has learned that federal agents plan to arrive in Murrieta on Monday with riot gear to ensure that another busload makes it to the housing facility.

Before getting to the opinion of the group ‘Cause of Action’, allow me to just highlight the trail and how it appears to be falling into place.
January 2010 – President Obama gives a state of the union speech where he decries the recent Supreme Court ruling “Citizens United”. (video here) I’m also going to put the video below and make an odd request: Please, watch it 5 to 8 times! At each time look at the key people who react and/or rise after Obama’s words. Most have noted Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito’s infamous mouthing of the words “that’s not true“, but I need you to look beyond Alito and the unknown Supreme court Senior aide {female at end of row}.
Look at Treasury Sec Tim Geithner and Attorney General Eric Holder. Then replay and look at Senator Harry Reid, Senator Dick Durban and Senator Chuck Schumer {seated behind the Supremes}. Pictures and video are worth thousands of words. SUMMER 2010 – In 2014 hindsight we know after this State of Union Speech – The IRS Tax Head Lois Lerner and the DOJ are in discussions about whether the Tax Enforcement Unit inside the DOJ should be assisting the IRS with investigation, using the FBI, of 501(c)(4) entities that are specifically the ire of the Obama administration as a result of that Citizens United ruling.

More communities should take the approach of Murrieta California. Last night another plane loaded with illegal aliens arrived at the airport. Officials did not attempt to deliver them to the Murrieta facility.
The reason the Feds are worried, is because they cannot afford the publicity behind anyone getting hurt or worse.
The Federal agents, the Border Patrol, DHS and HHS are breaking existing immigration law. In addition the White House does NOT want to see this story being run on the national news. 75% of Americans agree with the folks in Murrieta carrying the USA flag. The Obama administration cannot risk having their unlawful policy become a dinner table debate in American households.
They’re trying to keep a lid on it.
Ultimately the optical risk to the Obama administration is the leverage to protect your community. If communities stand up against these shipments, and stand firm together – Rather than risk the political damage from exposure the Obama administration will go somewhere else.
FRIDAY NIGHT – charter plane believed to be carrying immigrants arrived this evening at San Diego’s Lindbergh Field, apparently from Texas. Three Homeland Security buses arrived a few minutes later, trailed by numerous law enforcement vehicles.
There is no information as to the buses’ destination. Earlier this week, federal officials said that 140 immigrants who had been detained crossing the border in Texas would arrive Friday.
But since the blockade by protesters Tuesday at Murrieta, officials have declined to provide information about the movement of the immigrants. (link)
A key federal agency, ICE, begins the process of naturalizing the illegal alien flow into the U.S. Controlling the verbiage and words is a key element in deceiving the public, and keeping the electorate unaware of what is actually going on. In the foreground we will continue to see President Obama and fellow travelers say they are opposed to the influx and committed to stopping it. However, in the background they are giving specific instructions to the federal agencies to continue promoting the process and affirming the intent. In essence they are doing the exact opposite of what they are saying: This administration’s current conduct of deception is analogous to the ObamaCare bill. The White House and surrounding players will say something completely counter to the known outcome and intent (“like plan – keep it etc.”), while working feverishly to get constructs into place that are exactly the opposite of what they have stated. Inside the confusion they create, and under the cover of the argument they incite, they are buying time to carry out their objectives. By the time the dust settles – it’s too late. TEXAS – Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel have been directed to no longer refer to illegal immigrant children crossing the border alone as “UACs” (unaccompanied alien children).
Instead these individuals are to be referred to as “unaccompanied children” in official correspondence, according to an internal ICE email obtained by the Center for Immigration Studies and shared with Breitbart News.
“This was briefed earlier today during the command and staff meeting,” an email sent to ICE personnel reads. “It has been requested that in correspondence regarding unaccompanied children, they not be referred to as UACs. The term UAC should not be used in official correspondence.”
(Liberty News) Just one day after Alabama Congressman Mike Rogers opposed the Department of Health and Human Services’ plan to bus illegal immigrants 900 miles to a FEMA training facility in Anniston, AL, HHS has backed down. In an email to Rogers, HHS said “the site is no longer under consideration…”
That begs the question: Where are those illegal immigrants being transported to now? And at what cost to taxpayers? More importantly, why are they being transported farther from the border and scattered throughout the country with seemingly little expectation of being returned to their home-country?
