The Border is Secure, The 'Mind' of Sheila Jackson Lee
[FoxNews] Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee said President Obama has already successfully secured the U.S. border, and objected to the tone of a House border security bill she said militarizes the country.
Nobody is getting in that she disapproves of.
"œThe president has spent $108 billion on border security, and we have been successful," Jackson Lee said in a Homeland Security committee markup Wednesday. "Oh we've had our moments, but we have been successful."

Jackson Lee brushed off the recent flood of unaccompanied children on the southern border. "I know we had a disagreement," she said, referring to Republican critics who blamed Obama’s policies for the flood of immigrants.
See?
After tens of thousands of Central American children and teens crossed the border illegally last summer, House Speaker John Boehner wrote a letter to Obama saying his policies were directly responsible for the surge, because they led the immigrants to believe they could stay.

#2 that's quite a bar to clear ... At her weight getting on her feet is a feat as far as bars, she sounds like a person who never passed a bar without stopping in to sample the wares.

#3 The president has spent $108 billion on border security, and we have been successful

And we've spent over 7 trillion on Great Society programs to end poverty in America and we have been successful*. Time to end the programs.

* when you have over 10 million illegals streaming into the country, you have solved the poverty problem. You may have created a dependency problem or created a patron-client problem, but poverty is not the issue.

#4 I've met Rep. Lee, if she has a mind it is completely empty. Same for her constituents.

#5 Of course it's secure. It's perfectly safe for anybody to walk right across it.

#6 As right hand on hip flapped akimbo,
Her left gripped a foie-gras-on-Bimbo.
Shot of rum on her brow,
To the drum, Sheila plowed
Through the sawdust and bellowed out, "Limbo!"

#9 Off topic but I was watching Kill Bill Volume 2 the other day and in the scene where Bill was making a sandwich in his casa down Mexico way I noticed he was using Bimbo bread.

#10 She [Jackson] is an embarrassment to Texas and the U.S.A. There is a proposal for immigrants to pass a civics test about our government, its workings and our history. I don't think this woman could pass it.

#11 Money was spent on the problem, how could the border not be secure? We'll ask the members of the House responsible for the project when their new yachts return from the sojourn to the Med.

#12 Sheila Jackson Lee is there because of skin color. And only that.
