THE BORDER DISGRACE – AT 10:14 A.M. ET: We seem almost unaware of the horror story taking place on American's southern border right now. After all, there are so many other crises going on, so many other Obama failures.
But thousands of kids are coming across our border. Nothing is really being done to stop the flow. Maybe Obama sees these people as potential Democrats. IBD has a great piece on the tragedy, and the scandal:
As an unprecedented wave of undocumented children from Central America spills over our Texas border, a veteran lawmen's organization has declared it an "orchestrated" event. If so, who benefits?
To date, there hasn't been a word from the White House or its agencies urging families in Honduras, Guatemala or El Salvador not to send their children alone through Mexico's merciless badlands infested with cartel criminals to reach the U.S. There's some Twitter activity and little else.
But the newspapers and television stations throughout Central America are falsely reporting that amnesty will be theirs if they can just make it through the Mexican obstacle course — and that the time to do it is now.
It doesn't matter that these children are likely to succumb to desert heat, be snatched by vicious human traffickers, forced into prostitution, slavery or the drug trade, or simply murdered as has already happened to thousands, as the white crosses at the border can attest.
Not since the radio broadcasts that triggered Rwanda's Tutsi massacres in 1994 has such false information been spread unchecked by authorities who might be able with just their words to make a difference.
U.S. embassy websites still have no warnings to Central Americans about not sending children north, and until recently the U.S. embassy in Guatemala's website prominently featured links to President Obama's campaign website with his speech declaring to Guatemalans that "our immigration system is broken."
So no wonder the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers, after 50,000 apprehensions of border crossers in south Texas, declared this week that "certainly we are not gullible enough to believe that thousands of unaccompanied minor Central American children came to America without the encouragement, aid and assistance of the United States government."
COMMENT: Obama promised to "fundamentally change" America, and he's doing it. Lawbreaking means nothing to this man. The House probably has just cause to impeach him, but the Senate will never convict, and the word "racism" will be heard every few seconds.
Did anyone ever think it would come to this? Where children in the thousands cross our border – those who survive – and are being taken care of at American military bases? The first thing Eric Holder did when this started was to rush legal assistance.
A few National Guard divisions could probably be very effective in stopping this tragedy, but Obama will never activate them. We all know he'll give this new flood of illegal immigrants amnesty, and they will potentially vote accordingly.
We must, of course, feel for the children, and the cynical way they're being used. Yes, of course we'll take care of them. Our religious ethic demands it. But the deterioration of our society under Obama just sickens me. We don't do conspiracy theories here, as our readers know, but I really am starting to wonder where Obama's loyalties really lie.
