Tuesday’s column in the Los Angeles Daily News by Doug McIntyre succinctly describes the current border crisis caused by Obama’s DREAM amnesty edict and empty assurances that our borders were secure. Below are excerpts.
“As it turns out, the thousands of illegal immigrant children pouring across our borders aren’t coming here because of “crime and violence” in their home countries as the president and the media have been reporting for weeks. During Tuesday’s appearance before Congress, Homeland Security Director Jeh Johnson blamed “erroneous word of mouth” spread by human traffickers as the principle cause of this latest crisis.
He got it half right. Word of mouth is the problem, but Johnson pointed to the wrong mouth.
More than 52,000 children have chosen this moment in time to come to the United States because of the words that came from the mouth of President Obama.
…
And speaking of “word of mouth” how about the phony boasts of increased border security we’ve been treated to for years?
Remember when former Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano said the border was “as secure as it’s ever been” (ABC News July 26, 2013)?
Fifty-thousand children just walked into our country. If that’s border security, God help us.
