On the way to work, I listened to Mike Segal on KFYI. He was talking about the fact that 384 Border Control Agents have been removed from the Southern border with Mexico and sent to the Northern border with Canada. There is also a report that indicates that there are 1300 miles of our Southern border that are not secured at this time.
If we have that many miles of unsecured borders on the south we do not need to remove agents. The biggest problem with illegal immigration is on our Southern border. It does occur along our Northern border, but in far smaller quantities. Since the biggest problem is in the south, it would be logical to have the staff in the south get more people than the north. There probably are still more border control agents on the southern border than the north, but that is not the point. Weakening our ability to stop people from coming across our southern border should be the first priority of the Border Control and the Department of Homeland Security. Since Barack Obama and Janet Napolitano are removing agents from our southern border, they obviously do not think that it is a high priority problem.
Whenever it comes time to identify whether someone is legal or not, Democrats always do not want their legality checked. In voting situations, Republicans continually call for voters to show identification before they vote. Democrats always put out some lame excuse that the Republicans anticipated and solved. In any case, photo id at voting is not done. Why is it not done? Who would benefit if an illegal alien voted? If you are in the least amount honest, you would have to say that the Democrat would be the one to get the vote of an illegal alien. In the Obamacare bill, the Republicans put forward a bill that would require identification before receiving Obamacare. The Democrats defeated that measure. Why? Because they intend for the illegal aliens to get Obamacare, either by making them citizens or just allowing it without checking.
The Department of Homeland Security put out a memo that basically said that illegal aliens should not be arrested until they commit a crime. I may be mistaken, but isn’t crossing the border illegally a crime? As a result, cities like Phoenix are seeing an increase in crime. The crime they are seeing is the type that is common down in Mexico. That is kidnappings. On KFYI, Mike Segal went through a couple of cases in the past week here in the Phoenix area. One of the cases involved a pregnant woman. She is still in the hospital. The arrests happened on Thursday. One of the kidnappings Mike Segal outlined was at 9:30 n the morning, in a parking lot. That is pretty brazen, to commit a crime like that in broad daylight.
The Obama administration seems to be telling us along the Southern border of the United States that the border is unimportant. If people can cross without permission, what is the purpose of the border? In order to keep our country, we have to maintain our borders. This administration is not maintaining our borders. This administration is weakening our borders to allow more illegal aliens to come into this country. It must feel terrible to be a Border Control Agent right now. You would know that the Federal Government does not support what you do. My guess is that there will be a number of Border Control Agents that will bail on the department and work for Sheriff’s Offices, Police Departments and Highway Patrols in the states they are working in right now. That would mean a loss of highly trained and experienced personnel. That is never a good thing.
