Harry Reid declares unequivocally (@:50) “The border is secure”…

….. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…. move along, move along, nothing to see here folks….  Look at the cute squirrels playing bocce ball behind the camera man.   “Secure border” folks, “Secure Border”….. “S-E-C-U-R-E  B-O-R-D-E-R”.. Yessireee!

“The Border Is Secure”…

Here we go again.  Remember the debates in congress about the definition of “is” ?

It’s just how they roll.   The Democrats in DC will not allow changes to the 2008 law they claim is the source of the problem for unaccompanied minors, ie. “the border crisis”, unless the GOP cough up the $3.7 billion that Obama claims is needed because the law has not been changed….. 

…. Nonsensical, yeah, we know, but that’s the Democrats’ position and they’re sticking to it.

WASHINGTON DC – Republicans and Democrats in the House are clashing over whether changes to a 2008 human trafficking law should be included in emergency legislation for the border.
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Tuesday morning said he would seek to link changes to the trafficking law to the emergency funding, with Republicans making a final decision on their strategy by the end of the week.
Republicans have blamed the influx of children at the border on the 2008 law, which they say has served as an incentive for people to enter the United States. The law allows minors entering the country from Central America, but not Mexico, to request asylum hearings.
House Democrats are balking at the push, arguing the debate over the trafficking law should be kept separate. (more…)

Glenn Beck joined Bill O’Reilly last night to talk about his planned border visit and the “angry death threats” he’s gotten from conservatives for doing so. Beck said he understands the anger, but insisted he has a “responsibility to God” to put aside politics and help people in need.

Beck said he’s raised $1.8 million dollars so far, but acknowledges the frustration many have with the broken immigration system. He said there are “some people [that] believe that I’m just gonna make things worse” and even “encouraging people to come here.”

Update to this story from yesterday.

We’ll keep repeating this because it takes a lot of effort to break through the lame stream media narrative AS THEY AVOID – AVOID – AVOID.   
President Obama, and by consequence his water-carrying cohorts, are on the wrong side of the majority of Americans on the border crisis.

This recent article in The Hill, highlights the disconnect and the problem for Democrats in general.    In 2011 President Obama stood on the banks of the Rio Grande and announced “the border is secure”.   He went on to shout opposite opinion in that regard, “they want a moat – alligators in the moat”, was silly.
In 2014 the unsecure border reality has become the “border crisis”, and is now haunting President Obama and his cohorts in ideology.   They are beginning to twitch, visibly.
A similar analogy would be to compare the controversial issue around the Islamic Mosque proposed for New York, at Ground Zero.   The media and Dems worked feverishly to portray opposition as “bigoted and nativist”.    But the reality was the majority of Americans opposed the entire premise.   Try as hard as they would, it remained a losing issue for the Dems, but they held on to it as long as they could; eventually conceding collapse under the sheer weight of opposition.   Quietly the issue disappeared.
So too is this claim that expecting the border to be secure -from infiltrators of any ideology- is a bigoted position.   It just won’t sell.   Americans of all persuasions can see the depth of stupid; and when we say ‘of all persuasions’ we mean regardless of political tendencies. (more…)

Someone help me out here.   If you consider the 10th Amendment limitations on Federal intervention into state constructs – how is it legal that Feds do not have to tell the highest level state constitutional law officers of their activity, and worse can deny information when questioned ?….  Serious question.
NEBRASKA – Gov. Dave Heineman blasted federal officials Friday for refusing to give him details about 200 undocumented children who have been placed in Nebraska as the feds grapple with a crush of Central American kids sneaking across the nation’s southern border.
Nebraska Watchdog first reported on the children after U.S. Sen. Mike Johanns confirmed their placement on Thursday. U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials told Johanns on June 27 that the children were placed with families or sponsors in Nebraska after being caught or turning themselves into the U.S. Border Patrol.
The children are part of a wave of Central American children who have crossed the Mexico-America border and overwhelmed Texas facilities. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services by law must find a place for the children while they await deportation hearings, and if they have family in the U.S., that’s where they go. (more…)

Our comments will follow this *MUST WATCH* Video:

Prior to continuing we must readily admit our profound allergy to stupid.

Several key empirical facts do not lend credibility to the White House claim of a “surprise crisis”.

Actually quite the opposite – But to really absorb the issue we must analyze current year events through the reality of prior events;  we must look into the way-back machine.  To that end we have read the entirety of:

• A March 2014 Final Report from the National Center For Border Security – HERE
• A June 2014 (Declassified) Intelligence Report on UAC’s and Central America – HERE
• A June 2014 Congressional Research Report analyzing the prior four years of Central American UAC’s (Unaccompanied Alien Children) – HERE
• A July 2014 internal White House and Dept. Of Homeland Security communique outlining the UAC crisis.  – HERE
• A January 2014 DHS and HHS Summary of UAC directives to include Contract Needs – HERE

Because these reports are so critical to the full understanding we have also embedded them in their pdf. entirety near the end of the timeline:
April 2009 – After a Mid-East trip to Egypt to deliver his Cairo speech, President Barack Obama travels to South America for the “Summit of the Americas“. The summit included thirty-four South American countries. Obama wanted to promote his point that relations in North and South America can be heavily improved, especially after age old ideals on immigration and commerce are dropped. Hugo Chavez warmly embraced Obama and provided a gift, a book titled “The Open Veins of Latin America“. (link)
December 2009 – November 2010 – 100% of all political effort was leveraged to create and institute the ACA or ObamaCare. All media oxygen is focused on ObamaCare 24/7.
November 2010 – President Obama is “shellacked” in Mid-Term elections. Loses control of the House of Representatives to Republicans. Biggest electoral defeat since 1918.
January 2011 – Emphasis, and political strategy changes. “Comprehensive Immigration Reform“, ie. “amnesty” becomes the mainstay approach toward retention of political power. Throughout a contentious Republican primary season, to assist their ideological traveler, the U.S. media kept the issue on the front burner.
May 2011 –  President Obama travels to the Rio Grande sector of the border to push for his immigration platform (ie. Amnesty).   He proclaims the border is safe and secure and famously attacks his opposition for wanting an “alligator moat”. (more…)

Things are beginning to add up now.  In May 2013 President Obama attended a gathering of leaders from the Central American Integration System, (CAIS).  [The leaders of Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama]  It wasn’t the first conversation..  This Reuters article from last month explains the ideology ?
GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters)  […]  Senator Robert Menendez and Democratic Representative Luis Gutierrez said U.S. lawmakers in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Wednesday held a “very testy meeting” with diplomats from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico.

“I proposed to the Vice President the possibility of considering temporary work programs, which would allow (Guatemalans) to go for a time and return,” Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina said on Friday after meeting Biden, along with other Central American leaders, in Guatemala City.
U.S. data show that between October and May more than 47,000 unaccompanied minors, mostly Central Americans, crossed into the United States, nearly double the number in the prior year.
“As long as (U.S.) immigration reform is not approved, the exodus of children to the United States will continue,” Jorge Ramon Hernandez, the senior representative of Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, said at the talks.  (read more)

There you have it.   Honduran President Hernandez trying to help his friend Barack Obama.  If the U.S. does not complete comprehensive immigration reform, Honduras will continue to dump legions of illegal alien children upon us until we concede to their demands.  

Don’t take my word for it – read his.
