Hearings underway to convince the Obama administration to mobilize security forces to fortify the US-Mexican border met with little success. Administration officials insisted on using outdated information relying the exact risk to US territory as drug cartels engage in gangland murders and smuggling operations almost daily.
President Barack Obama told regional reporters on Wednesday, “We’re gong to examine whether National Guard deployment would make sense and under what circumstances they would make sense,” according to a report from McClatchy Newspapers. “I think it’s unacceptable if you’ve got drug gangs crossing our borders and killing U.S. citizens.”
“The president has enumerated again that our long-term challenges to our many policy decisions around the border are not going to be solved through militarization of the border,” Gibbs told reporters.
Flippity-floppy.
Border Patrol agents complimented by civilian militia have been far more successful than the Obamaniac administration is so far willing to admit as Democratic officials lay groundwork with corrupted data no doubt the intention to announce to their biased media cartels that the whole cascading situation can be blamed on the Bush Administration.
While the Obama administration says it is achieving success in some areas, the testimony revealed that the groundwork and policy measures aimed at combatting the violence were put into play by the Bush administration, in some instances many years ago.
No surprise there. All success has come from the Bush Doctrine put into play even before Obama built his cardboard Greek temple.
Motivated law enforcement along the border has produced an increase in criminal prosecutions and a sizable reduction in apprehensions by 152,000 cases. Border states are handling the situation pretty well but they are expected to be overwhelmed very soon as violence is predicted to prioritize military response over what is needed in Afghanistan. I'd say the Army's spread a bit too thin in that circumstance which is why the administration appears uncommitted because they threw themselves into a hole over the negative media coverage of Iraq and Obama's manufactured white-flag talking points which us normal folk are told we voted for.
“Obviously, there have been requests for additional National Guard troops to be deployed there based on the escalating violence in Mexico,” Gibbs said. “The president is committed to reviewing those requests along with Secretary Napolitano to give those requests the appropriate airing that they deserve. I don’t know from DHS of a time-line on a decision on that.”
Democratic representatives are showing more concern over defending native American tribes who are worried about crossing the border when they go begging for peyote.
Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-Ariz.) said that she had been meeting with Indian tribes that have land in both the United States and Mexico. “They have had trouble crossing the border for ceremonial purposes,” she said.
The Hildebeast is ready to check out the situation later this month sometime but that only escalates the problem further because we need Mexicans to actually go back to Mexico.
