    THE PRESIDENT IS A KNOWN LIAR.

    IMPEACH AND DEPORT HIM, AND THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY.

      Jul 08, 2014 08:41 AM

      That will not happen.

      I personally think that the administration is about to hit a stone wall. Who’d a thought!

      agree………..cfs…………100%

    Fund the Texas Rangers, bypass the Fed.

    Follow the President and the country will be forever changed, slowly into a third world country.

    Remember the Fed bought 1.7 Billion hollow point bullets. They are prepared for violence. They knew this problem was coming. And the bullets are INTENDED for US citizens not for illegal immigrants.

    I used the word Fed to mean Federal government (not Federal Reserve) Should have used Feds.
    Remember hollow points are intended to kill not wound. That’s what the Feds think of US citizens.
    Hollow points are illegal for use in warfare! But just fine for use on Americans!

    The border situation had always been a problem. But the situation right now is out of control. The US government and Latin American countries are working together to weaken this country. There is no other way to explain it. What kind of parent sends his children alone to a foreign country? They (parents) are either getting money to do it or are assured some government freebie.

      that is correct,,,,,they are being funded ……..thur the tax returns of the illegal, which file false tax returns…….and get thousand in refund check………Check out the article and CHILD TAX CREDITS…….

      Jul 08, 2014 08:44 PM

      That is a great point, Chris!

    IMPEACHMENT ………….congress get off your a..

    For any who didn’t see John Robino on Greg Hunter’s post yesterday. An outstanding interview.

      agree………….

      Andrew, if you want to know where the US is heading, look at Japan. That is the US in 10 years time. Abe should seppuku himself for the good of the country. Obama should as well, but I doubt the sociopath thinks he is doing anything wrong.

        chris…………I think you are correct…..concerning where the US is heading….like Japan.

          Jul 08, 2014 08:58 AM

          J, the only difference is the Japanese are very disciplined and civil. They will not behave like animals. And they respect their leaders, a little too much for my liking. Anyhow, when the SHTF in the US, wild animals will look more civilized compared to Americans.

            chris…..you are absolutely correct…………example….the other morning I was listening to my PBS station,,,,,they started talking about shootings at a local pub, in a rather nice area of town.,,,,,,about, 7 people got shot, and a cop was twenty feet away.
            And another policeman was shot point blank the same day. The PBS announcer, stated he though something had changed with the respect of officers(police), and people (youth), were becoming more disrespectful….like duh………….

            Jul 08, 2014 08:27 PM

            Yeh Jerry, like duh!

            or how about 84 people killed in Chicago over the 4th of July……,

            Jul 08, 2014 08:27 PM

            And numerous others seriously injured!

            Jul 08, 2014 08:58 PM

            That I do agree with, Chris.

          Except in the US, the Anglo-Saxon ethnic majority will cease to exist within one generation. Learn to speak Spanish if you plan to live in the US. Japan will still have a Japanese majority, speaking Japanese.
          Less than 6 months left for me, but I never expected the collapse of the US this fast.

            Jul 08, 2014 08:34 PM

            So you are saying within ten years. Interesting. I knew it was happening but I did not realize it was happening that fast.

      Jul 08, 2014 08:48 PM

      Read this earlier today, but thanks.

      The entire REPUB. party needs to stand behind her on this one…….but, they will not,
      Why…….because they sat on their hands on the birth certificate issue., and the entire American public would , be upset with the REPUBLICAN PARTY ,,that they knew and did nothing about the issue………..WE HAVE A FALSE PERSON IN OFFICE, and they KNOW IT.

    One of the best sources for data on immigration is:
    http://www.cis.org/

    The Center for Immigration Studies.

      Jul 08, 2014 08:53 AM

      CFS, thanks for the site. Very informative.

    Some non-US perspective: Why are so many children trying to cross the US border?

    I’m an immigrant from the US to another country. So not against immigration, per se.

    That said, allowing so many immigrants as the US has done over the decades has been lunacy. An unholy union of bleeding heart liberals who think everyone deserves to come (and get $15 minimum wage, no doubt), and business men who want cheap labor.

    You can’t blame the immigrants, but neither should the flood gates be opened. The root of the problem is the corrupt relationship between the elite in the US and the elite in Latin America. The US has always backed right-wing oligarchs in these countries to maintain access to cheap resources and labor. The poor in these countries have been denied the ability to better their lives, and therefore are desperate enough to seek their fortune in el norte.

    Case in point: NAFTA. Flood Mexico with cheap, subsidized, GMO corn and put all the small Mexican farmers out of business, so they can choose between digging at the dump or running for the border.

    In sum: betrayal by our business and political leaders; cluelessness of the ‘left’; and cluelessness and apathy of the American populace in general. Our leadership has been with the despots to the south of our border, and against the common people for a LONG time. Thus the flood northward.

      Interesting points you make GH!

        Unfortunately, like our economy, the mess is already made, now we get to deal with it.

        There is a certain irony in Mexicans retaking the southern US!

        The whole multicultural melting pot notion is problematic. The cultural differences between European countries are way less than the differences between European culture and Latino culture, in my fairly extensive experience.

        The clash between cultural values creates social fissures that are very easy for unethical leaders/power-players to exploit. Distract, divide and conquer.

          Jul 08, 2014 08:03 PM

          Another great point GH!

    Smedley Butler (US Marine Corps General) fills in some details:

    “I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”
