Holding Illegal Immigrant Children for Ransom

The border crisis has been taking place now for months and the general public and news media have been well aware of the situation for roughly two months. While this is the case,  we have yet to see any real resolution or even concrete ideas of how to resolve the problem.  It would appear there is something more evil,  something more nefarious going on here and with the likes of Obama and Reid in charge those accusations aren't all that far fetched!

These accusations were brought to the forefront as Senator Ted Cruz sat down to speak with Chris Wallace, 

“I’ll tell you who is holding these kids ransom: It’s Harry Reid and the president,” Cruz said. “Because their view is: Don’t do anything to fix the problem.”

This makes perfect sense considering the border crisis has since become a humanitarian crisis as we are seeing children being treated like rats. These children are tossed into cages and carted around the country like pawns in some sort of game. The president even visited Texas on a recent fund raising trip and simply could not find the time to go anywhere near the border to survey the crisis he is in large part responsible for.

At this point one can only hope that the American people are beginning to wake up to what is going on as we are seeing these illegal immigrants to being transported all over the country. They are being placed in cities and towns without first notifying residents. In many instances even local govt and local law enforcement aren't even aware these illegals are being housed in their town. We can only hope people wake up before it's too late!!

Stop Putting the American Veteran Behind Illegal Aliens

Throughout this countries history there is one thing that has been steadfast, one thing that has stood the test of time, one thing that has been the true lifeblood of this great nation and that is our veterans.  Veterans are the individuals who have given us the freedoms we hold so dear.  They are the reason we are able to go out to dinner, go to a movie, attend sporting events, and so on and so forth.  Without their sacrifices there is a good chance we wouldn't have half of what we have today.  No other country in human history has a history like America and has endured like we have and we owe it all to the veteran.

The reason for this impassioned post is because of the treatment our veterans are receiving today. Throughout history the veteran has a been class of individuals who have been looked at from varying angles.  Going all the way back to the Revolutionary War there were instances in which veterans weren't treated as well as they should have been.  Within the last 100 years we have seen veterans return from World War 1, World War 2, The Korean War, Vietnam, The Gulf War, and most recently the war in Iraq, and the on going operations in Afghanistan. 

Throughout these wars many men and women have returned home safely, but there are a number that either didn't return home, came home in a box, or came home with long lasting emotional and physical scars.  This weighs heavily on my heart.  I have never served but I still hold the veteran in extremely high regard as they are the men and women who put their lives on the line for each and every one of us to give us. They give us the freedoms and liberties that we exercise on a daily basis.  I feel that so many take it for granted because they may not know someone who has fought in any of these wars or know anyone who has been directly affected in any way.  

Whether or not you know someone is beside the point.  The point of the matter is that you give these individuals the respect they deserve.  Just this past Memorial Day I walked into a local strip mall and saw a gentlemen standing outside with his beret from the war he served in dressed in a sport coat on a hot day.  It disgusted me how so many people just passed right by this man,  many not even biding him the time of day.  I on the other hand went up to him, thanked him for his service and donated to what it was he was collecting money for, either the American Legion or VFW, which one I can't remember.  Nonetheless, I'm not trying to toot my own horn or anything but I just wish more people felt the way I do and it truly eats away at my inner most soul to see just how these men and women are treated.

And then it gets worse... We have stooped to a new low in this country that many thought would never arrive.  We have seen returning veterans get spat on, cursed at, and even protested against, but never have we ever seen an American veteran take a back seat to an individual who has entered this country illegally. Yes you read that right, we are now seeing the American veteran take a back seat to the illegal alien, a group of individuals flooding across our southern border coming here illegally are taking precedence over the men and women who risked their lives for us. 

Countless stories are coming out about how veterans are dying while waiting for care.  Just recently there was a story about a veteran who passed out in a VA hospital cafeteria a mere 500 yards from the emergency room. 

According to DisabledVeterans.org 

"Common sense was clearly not present that day when Jim Garcia died waiting for life saving care. In a tragic story of ineptitude and bad policy, VA employees followed policy but let Garcia die instead of taking action and coming to his location to provide care.  Or, in the alternative, they could have wheeled him themselves to the VA emergency room on the same property."

We see a story like this in which a veteran was at the actual VA facility a mere 500 yards away from the emergency room and he died waiting for care.  All the while we have millions and now billions of dollars being set aside for the care of illegal immigrants.  Why not take care of the VA before ANY consideration is given with regards to funding the invasion of this country. 

Along with the lack of care for veterans that currently reside in this country we also have a veteran who mistakenly took a wrong turn and ended up in Mexico with his legally owned firearms and has since been imprisoned for over 100 days in a Mexican jail. We have tens of thousands of migrants crossing into our border from Mexico and we cannot so much as put in a request to the Mexican government that our soldier be returned home?  Our "glorious" commander in chief can't get on the phone with Mexican president Pena Nieto and demand our marine be returned home? If Neito doesn't comply explain to him that all of the migrants coming here from his country will receive the same treatment that our captive soldier is receiving down there!! 

Apparently our president is to inept or he just doesn't give a shit about our servicemen.  I think the latter is correct as we see the complete disregard he has for them with his handling of the VA Administration.  Sure he gets up there on TV and says that he has a job to do and he will get it done.  How many times have we heard that?  He goes on and on about how he has a pen and a phone and he has all of this executive authority to "get things done" which he doesn't have as per the Constitution (that's an entirely different discussion for another time). The fact the matter is that if he claims to have this pen, phone and all of that executive authority why the hell isn't he using it to take care of our veterans?

Well the answer is simple... The veteran is a dying breed. We have all but seen the last of the World War 1 veterans and are quickly seeing the World War 2 veterans die off as well.  This is a shame because as we see the demise of the greatest generation we see a piece of history go with them. Many children today will never know the sacrifices those men and women made and will be worse off for it. We also have veterans from the Korean War, Vietnam, and the more recent wars in the middle east who mean nothing to this government or the president. They mean nothing because so many of them understand what is going on today and see this country slipping away.  They see how the younger generation of individuals have a complete disregard for politics, government, history, and the freedoms that they all fought for.  

As a result the newer generation of kids are swept up into the lies being fed to them by the mainstream media.  Add to this the influx of illegal aliens and you have exactly what the government needs to take complete control of the masses. The veterans are the ones who truly understand what is going on here and once there gone there will be no one left to warn us that history is indeed repeating itself and the evils they vanquished from the far corners of the world are cropping up right under our noses and the younger generations and illegal aliens alike will be completely oblivious to it.

Americans Shouldn't Have to Compete with Illegals for Work

For more than two weeks know we have become keenly aware of the situation unfolding at the southern border with Mexico.  Prior to this becoming news there has been a steady influx of illegal immigrants over our border into Texas since the first of the year.  So far we are up to nearly 60,000 illegal immigrant youth that have made the trek not just from Mexico, but other central American countries including Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador, and there is an estimated 250,000 more on the way!

We constantly hear how these illegals are simply coming here because they want to work and are willing to do the jobs Americans won't do.  Would you like to know why Americans won't do "those jobs?"  The answer is quite simple, the United States Government is paying the flat ass society not to do those jobs.  As a result the illegals are coming here taking advantage of the booming under the table job market all the while they pay no taxes and send the majority of the money they earn back home.

With a sky rocketing unemployment rate and jobs hard to come by, one must ask question, why are we importing even more job hunters into this country?  There is a surplus of labor and we are importing individuals who don't have the means to truly contribute to society even if we were to grant them amnesty.  We constantly hear about how there is such a demand for high skilled workers to fill technology jobs.  Do you really think someone coming here illegally, floating across the Rio Grande on a door that speaks no English is going to walk into Google and actually posses the necessary skills to work there?

This is why we need the wall and we need it now.  This country simply cannot handle the influx of labor that is streaming across the border.  There aren't enough jobs for American citizens and we shouldn't have to fight the illegal aliens for the jobs that are available.

It's the Cloward-Piven Strategy and It's Taking Place Right Now at the Mexican Border

Many aren't familiar with or haven't even heard of the Cloward-Piven Strategy but it playing out on the Mexican border and is getting worse with each passing day.

For those who don't know the idea behind the Cloward-Piven strategy began with two American sociologists named Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. Their plan was to overload the U.S. public welfare system to precipitate a crisis that would lead to the replacement of the welfare system with a national system of a  "guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty".

This is exactly what we see playing out at our southern border.  Since the beginning of this year there have been roughly 60,000 illegal immigrant children that have broken our immigration laws and made their way into this country. Many have trekked across Mexico from countries such as Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador.  They have done so due in large part to the advertisements that have been running throughout many of the central American countries welcoming them into the United States and explaining that they will not be turned away.

This is where the Cloward-Piven Strategy comes into play.  It's awfully funny that there have been reports of ads being played throughout these countries welcoming these children to America. You may wonder, why is this occurring? Well it's quite simple. First you make arrangements to welcome the children into this country, then you make subsequent arrangements to welcome in the families and even friends of those children.

It is already unfolding in many border towns. The media outlets are flocking to the border to capture the horrid images of the children living in squalor and it is all to be blamed on the evil Americans. How can we let these children come here and not receive the best healthcare available? How can we not provide them with the ethnic food they deserve? How can we not provide them with adequate living conditions?  

It's really quite simple, it is not the responsibility of the American tax payer to provide anyone with anything, especially those who come to this country illegally.

It's absolutely pathetic that we are rushing so much aid to the border to assist with the self inflicted "humanitarian crisis" that Obama has purposefully imposed on these children and this country.  It is the fault of the American Federal Government that this is taking place as they have failed to take the necessary steps to secure the border. Obama himself has gone out of his way to circumvent immigration laws to avoid deporting illegals and has even released tens of thousands of illegal immigrant criminals from our penal systems onto American streets.

Calling for Obama's Impeachment

Over the years there has been the occasional outcry for the impeachment of the sitting president Barack Obama.  On multiple occasions he has overstepped the boundaries placed on his powers as president as he has taken it upon himself to both legislate and arbitrarily enforce laws as he sees fit.

We have seen him rewrite the Obamacare requirements time and time again when specific groups or businesses disagree with how it being implemented.  We have seen him push back deadlines for specific groups while enforcing the law on others. 

We have also seen Obama's complete disregard for immigration law as he has released tens of thousands illegal immigrant prisoners onto American streets, into towns and neighborhoods like yours mine.  He has also made a point not to enforce border law by putting restrictions on how our patrol is able to operate.  Most recently we have welcomed roughly 60,000 underage illegal immigrant children into this country and our president referring these children as refugees.  Refugees from what???

The last straw should be this recent release of five enemy combatants from Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl. This was done with blatant disregard for the law, a law he specifically claimed would uphold!! We are getting to a point in which this president is taking on dictatorial powers as recently exclaimed when stated that he has a pen a phone and he will use it!

Underage Illegal Immigrants Flood Across Mexican Border

Illegals of all ages have been pouring across the southern border for quite some time now. Rough estimates put the number of current illegal immigrants in this country somewhere around 11 million. This number is up for debate as more and more illegal immigrants pour across the border on a daily basis.

Recently we have seen a major influx of illegal immigrant children making the trek across the border, many coming alone.  They come from countries south of Mexico, countries including Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. They flee those countries and make their way through Mexico, a country with stricter immigration laws than we currently have, in an attempt to make it to America.

What is causing this influx of underage illegal immigrants. According to KRVG.com, an ABC news affiliate in the Rio Grande Valley, many south in countries throughout central America are viewing television ads encouraging them to make the journey to America. They are being told that once they arrive here they will be met with open arms, given jobs, healthcare, and much more.




We on the American side of the border are also being inundated with propaganda attempting to tug at our heartstrings. We are being told that these people simply want to come here for a better life. That may indeed be the case for some, but most are attempting to come here in an effort to take advantage of our welfare system run amok and to gain wealth they can send back home, all while contributing nothing to our country as they pay nothing into the system they are taking advantage of.

Right now in Austin, Texas there are roughly 60,000 illegal immigrant children between the ages of 7 and 18 being housed in a military installation at Lackland Air Force Base. Recently President Obama addressed the situation as a humanitarian crisis and is enacting procedural measure to deal with it including the use of federal agencies such as FEMA. In addition to utilizing FEMA to deal with this "crisis" there are also plans to fly these children to live with family members who may already be here or to simply fly them to other parts of the country.

If this current influx of illegal immigrant children continues, it is estimated that by year's end we will have roughly 120,000 underage illegal immigrants residing in the United States.
