He waved his traitorous hand and granted
amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. In his speech, like many of his
speeches over the past 6 years, there were many lies and misleading
facts that were twisted to support his illegal action.
Obama spoke of a campaign promise he made
in 2008 of passing an immigration reform bill within a year of being
elected. This lie helped him defeat GOP candidate John McCain. But after
a year in office, there was no immigration bill, and there wasn’t one
after the second year when he still had control of both houses of
Congress. Obama was too busy ramming Obamacare down our throats than to
work on immigration.
Last week, Obama also said that he
committed to securing our borders and has done what he could to make
that happen. Yet our borders are more porous than they’ve been in 50
years. Instead of securing the border, Obama has instructed immigration
officers to ignore some of the federal immigration laws. He ordered that
only illegals that were convicted of felonies be deported, allowing
millions of other illegals to remain in the US without fear of
deportation. Under Obama’s orders, 60,000 illegals that were convicted
felons were not deported, but released to walk the streets of America.
When states like Arizona and Texas took steps to secure their borders, Obama’s administration fought them. In Texas, then Gov. Rick Perry ordered National Guard troops to help secure the border, but the feds refused to fund the action by claiming it wasn’t necessary. In Arizona, then Gov. Jan Brewer repeatedly invited Obama to come tour the border to see the problems for himself and he refused. Then Obama filed lawsuits to block Arizona’s immigration laws that were passed to protect Arizona citizens.
In his speech last week, Obama claimed that illegal border crossings are at the lowest levels since the 1970s. During Obama’s first term, the economy was in recession and offered little incentive for illegals to come to the US. As the economy has been reported to be improving, the number of illegals caught at the border has been steadily increasing since 2011.
Perhaps another reason for lower numbers is that those numbers are based upon the number of illegals captured and detained and may not reflect actual numbers. There are numerous places along the Mexican border where large numbers of illegals are crossing on a regular basis and not being detained. Ranchers in southern Arizona continue to report seeing hundreds of illegals and drug traffickers freely crossing into the US. If Border Patrol has had their ranks and duties reduced, then there are fewer of them to detain illegals, hence lower numbers for Obama to report.
