Today, President Obama blamed "politics" and "posturing" for the failure to complete passage of a comprehensive immigration reform. According to obama the fault lies with Republicans. Obama ought to be ashamed to say something this stupid.
First, Obama says we cannot deal with the problem by building fences and securing the border. That statement indeed is politics. Simply put, Obama does not want to do his sworn duty and control the border. As a result, he is leaving the border open so that he can keep up a drumbeat for the need for comprehensive "reform". Why? so Obama and the Obamacrats can cozy up to those in the Latino community who see border enforcement as dicrimination against them (which it is not).
There is no reason why the feds could not shut down the border. It would not take much to cut the flow by a large percentage. Completion of the double border fence and enforcement of short term incarceration for those caught coming across has worked in other sectors of the border. For example in the Yuma sector in Arizona, illegal crossings were cut by 94% when these measures were put in place. If they were also indtroduced in the rest of the border in Arizona, we could see a cut of 75% or more in the number of illegals coming across.
Obama also said he wants laws that would make it illegal to employ those who are here without permission. This is not political, it is nonsense. The law already exists, but the feds have stopped enforcing it at all during the Obama administration. Bush was not great with enforcement, but since Obama took over, the number of arrests is down by 88%. There is essentially no enforcement effort from the feds. The lack of enforcement is not due to Republicans -- it is strictly a plan by the Obamacrats to ignore the law to gain votes from Hispanics.
