Only Under Obama:More Agents,Less Secure Borders

Susan Stamper Brown,FloydReports.com

Somewhere out there on America’s northern borders,security patrol agents are showing up to work,grabbing a newspaper,and positioning their vehicles to gaze across one of the Great Lakes,so they can enjoy a scenic view while they work the daily crossword puzzle —on our dime.
Back in May,the Obama administration assured us our borders were strengthened,because Homeland Security had beefed-up border agent numbers by more than double the amount we had back in 2004. For what? Crossword puzzles? If there is a surplus,it seems the country would be better served by re-distributing its wealth of agents to our southern borders,but that would not fit into this administration’s “Bizzaro World” where logic is defied and common sense is denied.
According to the Associated Press,this has nothing to do with a surplus of agents. Last month,border patrol offices across the country received discreet orders to cease routine bus,train,and airport searches for illegal immigrants “soon after the Obama administration announced that to ease an overburdened immigration system,it would allow many illegal immigrants to remain in the country,”so it could focus on the deportation of illegals who have actually committed crimes.

During his 2011 State of the Union address,Obama said he strongly believed “we should take on,once and for all,the issue of illegal immigration.”Back in September,Homeland Security released a report suggesting they had deported a record-breaking number of illegals,but House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith,R-TX,begs to differ. In an October 18,2011,press release,Smith claimed the Obama administration “continues to inflate its deportation numbers”and “is cooking the books to make it look like they are enforcing immigration laws,when in reality they are enacting amnesty through inaction.”
If the Canadian border was some super-secure perimeter where everything (and everyone) traversing its borders was given the utmost of scrutiny,lax security measures would not raise so many eyebrows. But that is not the case. Back in 2009….
