They are here, we have to deal with them. Folks that come on line and say f%^k them are just speaking from anger and would not have the heart to do what they are saying on blogs. I have read everything from shoot them to send in the guard and throw them back over the fence. None of those are good answers and I'm certain the guard commanders would disregard any order like this that would facilitate the death of kids. They are not our enemy, they are a tool of our enemy and just as much a victim as anyone.
We need to stop this where it starts, root cause. Tell Mexico to manage its southern border, trade embargo's. Cut the USAID funding off the nations that are allowing this human trafficking. STOP MAKING AMERICA THE BAD GUY IN THIS! Publicly go after the countries that are allowing their sons and daughters to be brutalized, exploited, and raped. Call the ambassadors from the countries into the state department and give them 30 days to stop this. If they don't act, PNG the embassy and its staff in total. Play fucking hardball and stop this passive aggressive crap blaming political parties.
Sometimes you just have to reach down to your ankles and grunt and pull and strain until your head pops clean out of your ass! I suggest out entire Congress, Senate, and white house do this. Then just maybe the can see the light of day and fix it.

Besoeker: Obama has recruited these kids to use against us. If we could neutralize a couple percentage points by sending soccer balls and hot meals maybe we should try.
Part of the way the left's gotten so powerful was that they were willing to take a couple fraction of a percentage point every chance they got, and stamped the hot meals "A Gift From The Soviet Union The Red Mafia..."
I dunno, we got to think outside the Box. Beck's idea may not work, but it's something.

Scratch a cynic, and you uncover an incurable romantic -- I've given away tens of thousands of dollars in metaphorical soccer balls and actual hot meals in my lifetime.
An incurable romantic is plagued by visions of how things could be -- and aren't -- and won't be in any forseeable future, because humanity generally kinda sucks. Thus, the cynical armor eventually dominates.
I have never said or even thought f%^k them or shoot them (or used straw man arguments in a discussion).
This current batch of Marielitos must be processed as quickly as possible and sent home. Otherwise, not only will it never end, it will get worse.

Beck's appearance is off-putting. Styled hair, pipe, strange eye-glasses, nutty attire, and tennis shoes. What's that stuff all about? If I wanted to look at a clown, I'd go to a circus. Clothes do make the man.
I care about the kids, but I don't care about what comes along with them, like tons of messed up relatives and cartel members who sneak into the country in their shadow.

What this is about is a push to destroy the parts of the middle and lower classes that aren't dependent on the government. We're all about to be priced out of work. Welcome to the Hunger Games.

Sorry, I gave at the IRS.
I get what Beck is doing, I'm glad he has the time and money to do such things. But don't think for a second this isn't what the Free Shit Army looks like.
They can not stay, we can't take care of our own, how can we care for them? People should be furious. The tax payers, what's left of them, will get another increase or dollar devaluation. They will be required to have health insurance, so everyone's premiums will jump and those who qualify for subsidies will see that dry up. Entry level employees will have to compete with this influx of potential workers - blacks especially have a high unemployment already but also second+ gen Hispanics will get rocked.
That is just the in general effects, nevermind local effects of poverty and crime.
If this breech is not closed it will widen. The promise of Free Shit is so tempting children are being abandoned to dangerous solo journeys. That's not me making that promise. The kids are victims of the flesh peddlers, not me. And you parents and transits, you believed Uncle Obama? He says he will care for your kids, your kids are subjected to theft and rape and death and when they show up on the front porch, Obama sneaks out the back door to go on vacation.
No skills, no language, no English - they will be put into generations of slavery. I'm not sure what is going on back home, but living a life of food stamps and government housing, working just enough to qualify for assistance, if qualifications even exist anymore. Just remember to vote for the Big Cheese Machine, otherwise you lose your Free Shit. That's no life.

China is dumping billions into countries illegals are coming from port and land projects along with oil gas and minerals! What group of people are the Bitch Boys (Tea) for China? Why not have Reids Rangers go down to the border at least they will or are willing to shoot women and children American ones anyways!
NO MORE EXCUSES HERE IT IS-
5 U.S.C. § 3331
An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath:
“I, AB [state your name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
ANY QUESTIONS THINK HARD!
Excellent idea. They indeed should be refugees; that's what they are. UN-sponsored and financed camps should be built; these should be at least of the quality provided to Syrian and Palestinian refugees.
To facilitate access, the camps should be located south of the Rio Grande. This way the refugees won't have to contend with swimming a river, climbing a fence, and evading U.S. Border Patrol officers; they can go straight to the U.N. personnel in charge in northern Mexico.
Mexico, given its desire to be a leader in third-world solidarity, should immediately agree.
I say this partly tongue-in-cheek, of course, but it does beg a question: where are the Mexican authorities in all this? 300,000 kiddies are trekking across their country and the authorities know nothing about it?

Mexican train derails, stranding 1,300 migrants headed toward U.S.
(Reuters) - A cargo train used by Mexicans and Central Americans to travel toward the U.S. border derailed in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca on Wednesday, stranding about 1,300 migrants, emergency services said.
Many of the migrants aboard were young people and nobody was injured when the train nicknamed "the Beast" came off the tracks, a spokesman for local emergency services said.
Since last October, more than 50,000 unaccompanied minors, most from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, have been caught illegally crossing the southwest border of the United States.
#2
Where's the outrage, reserved for a derailed oil or coal train, about this event spilling 1300 kiddies all over the landscape, obviously spoiling the land....
#4
Refuges usually involve people who want to 'go back home'. If they're refugees, let's classify them properly as victims of ethnic cleansing because their (purer Spanish blood) ruling caste needs to unload mestizos y indios to avoid reform or revolution.
#5
Regardless of what is done with these people, children, etc, we're missing an identification opportunity if we're not doing Biometrics [facial/DNA] on these illegal and feeding it into a central database.

Mexican Authorities have been bought off - by the coyotes, cartels, or Obama,
or all three

The first order of business ought to be to send several plane loads back to where ever they came from. The word will get out and the flow will start to be stemmed. Push Mexico hard to stop allowing them to pass through. Strengthen security at the border with a physical fence or a virtual electronic fence or whatever it takes to stem this tide. Both parties need to quit worrying about getting the Latino vote--do what's right for the country for a change. Obey the laws of the country. Start by getting rid of Holder as AG. He's got to be the worst we have ever had.
#8
No, JohnQC. You have to start by getting rid of Baraq Hussein as president. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening any time soon but with any luck we can turn the Senate against him in November.
#9
I don't see that happening. The votes are not there. Let's see what happens in the House and Senate in 2014. Maybe there will be a glimmer of good that comes about from these elections.

The same network of Mexican Liberation Theology people who smuggled central Americans during the 1980s are doing the same thing now. Wonder why MS-13 has an international reach? It's because of those people.
Slip Enrique Pena an extra $50 million and tell them to jail the members of the network, and northbound illegal immigration would stop in 24 hours.
Kill them and immigration would stay stopped for a generation.
The video at the link attempts to water it all down, but I found it somewhat astounding that a main stream media outlet like CNN would post a full article this derisive of our "Dear Leader."
(CNN) -- Ordinarily, being ranked as the worst modern president of the United States would be considered unfortunate. For you Mr. President, that's the good news.
As painful as it is to note, your presidency has not yet hit bottom. You've got a long way to go in your descent.

This week's beer and billiards photo shoot in Colorado was most impressive. Of course he does not see it as such, but it is quite disheartening to see the office openly mocked and belittled in such a manner.

It's strange... On alBBC when "The Bush Regime" was "in power" it was described as "polarising" and unpopular. We seem to have no information from them about Emperor Zero's popularity, and it seems the republicans are polarising things.

LOL Raj. Had he not been on camera, he might have taken a hit or two. The way he has been acting lately, I believe most of his policies have come out of the Choom Room.
He has not hit his nadir yet. I wonder if the odds makers are betting on his approval ratings, say whether or not he hits approval ratings of 30 or below before he is dumped out of the WH.

Obama was never a president, nor will he ever be one. To be president you must lead from the front, be accountable, hard, hold people accountable, everything that makes a good parent, makes a good president. He was elected on a popularity contest, like in high school. He was never a person that acted with any consequence. He was a community organizer, and by definition, did nothing but stir the pot. He never did anything or saw anything through to completion. Hell, he and his wife had to give back their law license for not doing anything with them. He calls it leading from the rear, a typical me generation cop out. No one leads from the rear. Only dictators or tyrants that are in decline and afraid to be seen act like this. He is a true coward, he may love America, I have my doubts, but he can not lead. He will not lead and he will continue his passive aggressive management until 2016 or until America falls. As I see it, the race is on.

Judge Sullivan has ordered that an IRS official must swear in writing under oath in the next 30 days about Lois Lerner's lost emails and computer crash.
It can get worse for Obama unless all those in the IRS are willing to fall on their swords for him. If the Federal judge is not completely in the tank for Obama and the Democrats, he can make life difficult for anyone screwing around with his court. Sullivan was a Clinton appointee but is supposed to be a straight-up guy (not all of them are).

..up to 179 days for contempt of the court. Probably more time than they'll serve if they had talked. The one won't be issuing pardons before the mid-term at least.
[DAWN] IT is a painfully familiar situation. A youth is killed in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... while another goes missing, leaving his family to ponder over the worst-case scenario. There is talk of murder committed by coppers who often dispense their brand of justice in the form of staged encounters. Calls for investigation grow and they finally yield results: the allegations of police brutality are to be probed — by the police. If the story stays its normal course, maybe a few coppers will be blamed and suspended, only to re-emerge, occupying a police post sometime later. Amid so much talk about Pakistain's journey to civilisation and the rule of law under the supervision of a judiciary which is all too frequently called upon to intervene in all kinds of issues, the resolve to end so-called police encounters is sorely missing. Sadly enough, administrations often implicitly and sometimes openly defend the encounter model of 'justice' as not only the most convenient but also the most effective means to combat crime. Not only this, the state has moved towards further empowering the already dangerous law enforcer by coming up with the Protection of Pakistain Bill. This is the justification the numerous encounter specialists bred over the decades must have been looking for.
There was a time when fake encounters needed to be dressed up for public consumption. That veneer is gone. Recent incidents in Karachi, Lahore and elsewhere in the country suggest that not too much of a cover-up is now required before a senior policeman calls up the media to proudly share the news about a 'known' criminal who has been disposed of in an encounter. The act has come to be accepted by and large as something that is inevitable, which is routine, or worse, which is desired. It is in this way that the coppers and those who pull their strings in the name of law and order and good governance have succeeded in their terrifying objectives, freeing the judiciary to take up other important issues.

[IsraelNationalNews] Operation Protective Edge may look like its predecessors--Operation Cast Lead in 2008-9 and Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012--in that it is a response to Palestinian terrorism launched from Gaza against Israeli civilians. The previous two rounds of the conflict ended with Hamas still in power in the Gaza Strip, weakened but able to re-arm over time and to project a strategic threat. There are five reasons, however, this time may be different.
1. By Attacking Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Hamas Has Invited Its Own Destruction. By launching its Iranian-and Syrian-made missiles against Israel's two major cities--especially Tel Aviv, normally a safe distance from conflict--Hamas has broken the unwritten rules of the game. It has long been known that Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north had the ability to reach those cities. But those groups had not exercised it.
Now that Hamas has shown it is willing to attack Israel's commercial, spiritual, and political centers, the terror group has left Israel no choice but to destroy it completely. There is no way Israel can accept life under an active threat of rockets, enjoying safety only at Hamas's whim. Attacking border towns like Sderot--or even, as in 2006, a northern city like Haifa--is one thing. Attacking Tel Aviv is a provocation Israel cannot ignore.
In particular, Netanyahu must maintain Israel's deterrent. While he needs to keep forces at the ready in case of an attack from Hezbollah, or a more direct escalation by Iran, he knows that if he fails to show that Israel is ready to defend itself, he will strengthen Tehran. With nuclear negotiators just days away from their deadline for a (bad) deal, Netanyahu needs to maintain pressure on Iran--and remind the U.S. it can act on its own.
2. Obama Is on the Wrong Side--and Irrelevant. On the first day of Operation Protective Edge, President Obama published an op-ed in the left-wing dailyHa'aretz calling for "restraint" and a Palestinian state. As if to make clear that the publication was not an accident of timing, a senior Obama adviser gave a harsh speech to a peace conference in Tel Aviv the same day at which he blasted Israel for continuing to occupy the West Bank.
These gestures--informed, as usual, by misleading Palestinian demographic statistics that falsely predict Arab majorities in the near future--send the message that the White House disapproves of Israel's operation and its general strategic posture. Normally, that would be very bad news for Israel. But it may help, ironically, because Obama has already alienated Israel to such an extent that the Israeli government feels at liberty to ignore him.
In addition, Israel previously held back due to political considerations in the U.S., cutting Cast Lead short in time for Obama's inauguration, and postponing Pillar of Defense until Obama's re-election campaign was over. This time conflict has erupted at the height of the midterm elections, meaning that anything Obama tries to do to stop Israel will boost Republican criticism of his foreign policy, and place Democrats in a tough spot.
3. None of Hamas's Usual Allies Are Going to Help. Egypt, which as of last year was controlled by a very Hamas-friendly Muslim Brotherhood, is now run by Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who led a military coup that pushed the Muslim Brotherhood out of power, cutting off a critical source of military and diplomatic support. The fact that Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood means Sisi has no love for the organization.
Iran might normally be expected to help, especially by smuggling weapons and stirring up Hezbollah to create a potential second front for Israel in Lebanon. However, Iran is tied down in fighting to defend the Assad regime in Syria and the Maliki regime in Iraq. Syria has long since expelled Hamas from Damascus, and Jordan is too preoccupied with the threat of ISIS to care. Even ISIS is too busy to make Israel a priority. Hamas is on its own.
4. Iron Dome Has Neutralized Hamas's Offensive Arsenal. Though Hamas targeted Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, those two cities have (thus far) emerged unscathed, thanks to the effectiveness of Israel's Iron Dome system, which tracks and destroys small, short-range projectiles. (Here the Obama administration will try to take some credit for Israel's security, although the project had U.S. support before Obama came to power.)
The other weapon Hamas still retains is kidnapping. It is still a potent threat, as last month's abduction and murder to three Israeli teens shows. Yet to carry out that threat, Hamas must either rely on infiltrating from Gaza, which has become very difficult, or on activating terror cells in the West Bank, where the Israeli military operates relatively freely. There is a reason Hamas is resorting to its best weapons first: it is rather desperate.
5. There is Israeli Support for Invading Gaza. Or, rather, Netanyahu will pay a political price if he fails to do what is necessary to oust Hamas. That could include re-occupying Gaza for some time--not re-introducing the settlements that were abandoned in the 2005 disengagement, but enforcing stability and preventing Hamas from operating militarily or politically in the Strip, withdrawing only once its terror infrastructure is destroyed.
The Israel peace camp has become a joke. On Tuesday, attendees at a conference of peace activists physically assaulted one of Israel's conservative leaders. Though a few die-hards--including Israel's outgoing President Shimon Peres--will stress the importance of negotiations and a two-state solution, the more potent political threat is on Netanyahu's right, ready to exploit impressions that he has not done enough to secure Israel.
But it may help, ironically, because Obama has already alienated Israel to such an extent that the Israeli government feels at liberty to ignore him.
Had Champ been on the right side, this escalation probably would never have happened. The enemies of Israel, which are all around it and includes Iran, felt frisky because of the rightfully perceived notion that Obama was on their side. Probably has something to do with O's advisors having chummy feelings about the Islamic community (ValJar, Brenner, Obama, etc.) Also has something to do with a MSM that is sympathetic.
[IsraelTimes] On the second day of Operation Protective Edge, it's clear that both sides are trying to cause maximum harm to each other. As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put it, the gloves are off. Israel and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, are out for blood and there is no sign of a solution on the horizon. The key to that -- the "exit strategy" -- lies with a third party, Egypt. To some extent, Hamas is firing rockets and missiles at Israel in order to pressure Cairo to open the Rafah border crossing, and to enable the transfer of money via that crossing, in order to ensure the future survival of its regime.
Since the start of the operation, the IDF has attacked a large number of targets, some of Hamas, others of Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... , including the homes of operatives who are using their families as human shields. That was the case on Tuesday with the Kaware family from Khan Yunis. Initially, warning shots were fired at the home of a family member, a Hamas operative, but instead of evacuating the building a large number of his relatives gathered on the roof to try to prevent an attack. Minutes later, however, the bombing took place, and seven members of a single family were killed, children among them.
This incident gave Hamas the pretext it wanted to launch rockets at the Dan region. For now, that is Hamas's "great" achievement: its success in firing missiles not merely at Tel Aviv, but beyond Tel Aviv, all the way to Hadera — about 110 kilometers from northern Gazoo. Hezbollah's secretary general Hassan Nasrallah bragged during the Second Leb War of 2006 that he could hit south of Haifa; now Hamas has shown it can hit north of Tel Aviv.
This isn't the only Hezbollah tactic that Hamas is attempting to imitate. Just like the Lebanese Shiite group, Hamas is also attempting to carry out "quality" acts of terrorism. Thus far, its two attempts have failed: the infiltration of Hamas frogmen via the northern beaches of Gazoo, heading to Zikim; and the explosives-filled tunnel at Rafah. In the case of the Zikim attack, all five members of the Hamas terror cell were killed. Not long before, the commander of that Hamas unit, Muhammed Shaaban, and two of his aides were eliminated in an Israeli Arclight airstrike. As for the Rafah tunnel, Israeli intelligence managed to thwart an unusual attempted attack: Hamas had spent months, if not years, digging that tunnel, which was intended to enable dozens of armed Hamas holy warriors to carry out simultaneous raids inside Israel on numerous targets, including civilians.
The paradox, the Catch-22, is that the absence of a "victory picture," so frustrating for Hamas, is only encouraging its operatives to intensify their attempted attacks. Hamas TV and the Arabic satellite stations are celebrating the rocket attacks and the "raids" on Zikim and at Rafah, but Hamas's military chiefs can be expected to continue to invest no little planning and effort in the bid for a successful "quality" attack.
Hamas has options: raids via Sinai, paragliders or explosive-carrying drones, Zikim-style infiltrations from the sea, attacks on Israeli naval vessels, and more. The IDF suspects that Hamas has land-to-sea rockets with a 35-kilometer (22 mile) range.
How might all this end? Hamas has presented a list of demands, headed by its call for the release of security prisoners freed in the 2011 Shalit deal who were re-jugged Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please! in recent weeks. That's actually the only demand it is making of Israel. The rest are addressed to Egypt: Hamas wants Cairo to allow the transfer of funds from to Gazoo from Qatar so it can pay the salaries of its 40,000 clerks and thus continue to govern. It also wants the Rafah crossing opened so that it can export goods and so that Gazooks can travel. The organization is no longer prepared to live with the "quiet for quiet" formula.
But Egypt has other priorities and concerns right now. Fuel prices have risen 78 percent with the cancellation of subsidies; cigarettes and alcohol are up 200 percent. More pertinently, Abdel-Fattah El-Sissi's Egypt regards Hamas as a firm ally of the Moslem Brüderbund and is more than happy to see it sweat. The chances of Egypt agreeing to the permanent re-opening of the Rafah crossing are slim to none.
The only demand that Israel, Cairo's partner and ally in the shaping of the security reality in the region, can hope to see accepted is the transfer of the Qatar salary payments by one means or another. Would that be enough to bring Hamas around? Right now, possibly not.
Pakistan has been in a state of war with Israel since 1956, or perhaps earlier. I'm not sure if Israel has noticed.
[DAWN] ISRAEL'S no-holds-barred bombardment of Gazoo, which commenced on Tuesday, is the latest chapter in the Paleostinians' seemingly never-ending saga of misery. While Paleostinians throughout the occupied territories have been victims of Israeli high-handedness for decades, Gazoo's plight has been particularly tragic. The latest violence appears to have been triggered by the kidnapping and subsequent murder of three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank and the retaliatory killing of a Paleostinian youth in Jerusalem. In the aftermath of these incidents, tension had been building up, with Israel blaming Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, for the abductions, a charge the murderous Moslem group denied. As Israel started rounding up Paleostinians in the wake of the murders, rocket fire into the Jewish state commenced from Gazoo. While the murders of the Israeli teens and the Paleostinian youth are equally condemnable, Tel Aviv's brutal yet predictable response of pounding Gazoo is totally unacceptable. Whenever the Jewish state crosses swords with Paleostinian fighters, it seems to have no qualms about massacring civilians. In the latest hostilities, over 20 Paleostinians have been killed; while forces of Evil are among the casualties, the majority of victims are reportedly civilians, including children. The assault on Gazoo is a reminder of past Israeli aggression targeting the impoverished coastal strip, particularly the 2012 and 2008-09 conflicts. In the 2008-09 Gazoo war, nearly 1,400 Paleostinians were killed, which included over 900 civilian deaths, while Israel deployed barbaric weaponry in densely populated civilian areas, such as the notorious white phosphorous munitions.
The fact is that until there is justice for the Paleostinians, this part of the Middle East will not see peace. Paleostinians have been treated in a subhuman manner by the occupying power for over six decades. Gazoo, of recent, has been turned into a modern-day Bantustan, with high unemployment, rampant poverty, and an infrastructure in a shambles. Its woes have been amplified by a cruel Israeli blockade, which Egypt has been all too keen to police. The blockade has been in force since 2007 and declared illegal by many in the international community. In the immediate term, Israel's friends and backers in the West must restrain it from unleashing even more destruction on the hapless people of Gazoo. Tel Aviv has talked of a possible ground offensive while Hamas has vowed to pay Israel back in the same coin if hostilities escalate. Once the brutal bombardment of Gazoo ceases, issues such as Paleostinian rocket attacks on the occupied territories can be discussed. But first, Israel needs to cease fire immediately.
Even the latter-day, malnourished North Korean polemicists can do better than this. I give it a 3.2 out of 10.
