President Obama produces a lot of talk that sounds like he is doing something, but the reality is very different.
Well after the promised timing of representatives from Washington being promised to arrive to “discuss” things with Governor Brewer, the anticipated meeting finally took place. It amounted to an hour and a half of sitting through White House Security Adviser John Brennan’s power point presentation. Despite requests they did not provide any hard copies to follow or keep for reference. For anyone with gray matter between their ears, providing a hard or soft copy of a power point presentation is easy. So this is clearly a matter of refusal as opposed to inability. That is, they didn’t want any record of what they presented to leak out.
Governor Brewer was clearly frustrated with Obama’s underwhelming response to secure Arizona’s border and here is why:
1. Up to 524 National Guard personnel will be sent to AZ (not the promised 1200).
2. National Guard personnel will be implemented in small numbers and fluctuate incrementally.
3. National Guard personnel will conduct surveillance and support – not ‘boots on the ground’ apprehension duty.
4. National Guard personnel at the peak number of 524 will be available for a limited time.
5. 22 miles of existing border fence will be repaired (we’re talking about a 3 or 4 strand barbed wire fence that can be cut with wire cutters).
6. The $500 million originally pledged to Gov Brewer has been changed to $445 million. $310 million will be given to Mexico. Arizona will receive a whopping $135 million.
So, first of all, the 524 Guard troops will not be here all at the same time, but even if they were this would be ludicrous. This would amount to one solder for every 11 miles of border if they worked 24 hours in 8 hour shifts. But that’s OK because they are not going to be allowed to patrol the border anyway. They are going to be desk jockeys.
It’s all smoke and mirrors to look like the administration is doing something without doing anything at all. The big accomplishment is giving Mexico $310 million. For what? So they can upgrade the equipment the Cartels are using to cross the border and shoot at us?

Boycott Arizona?
In regard to boycotting Arizona…
I hope you understand that "illegal" is not a race. It is not a religion. It is not a color. It is people who direspect the laws of our country. It is people who have murdered citizens of our state. It is people who have raped people in our state. It is people who have shot, wounded and killed police officers in our state. It is people who are running drugs into our state. It is people who are crushing the ability of our medical care facilities to take care of them. It is people who are taking jobs of our citizens while we sit here with a 10% unemployment rate. It is people who have stolen cars from us, wrecked our cars without having insurance, and running from the scene of major accidents.
Armed illegal aliens in this state are responsible for 3500 acres of our state being off limits to Arizona citizens. The National Guard you might think have been sent here by President Obama are still nowhere to be seen. Of course when they arrive they will be relegated to desk jobs, unarmed and prevented from actually patrolling the border. The people President Obama said would be here to discuss options with our Governor in two weeks are still not here a month later.
So, do you want the illegal aliens in your state? Should we send them to you? Do you want them on the streets driving cars with no respect for our laws while your family is on the road with them? When the first thing they do is disrespect the laws of the United States by entering it ILLEGALLY, why would you expect them to respect any other laws? Oh, and you realize the illegal aliens who are entering Arizona are not just from Mexico, right? They are also from Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, Somalia, Yemen, and a whole lot of places that support terrorism.
You probably also fail to realize that there are a lot of legal immigrants to the United States here in Arizona that are dismayed, frustrated and even more angry about these people who are breaking the laws of the country of which they worked so hard to become a legal citizen.
Do you realize that the 1070 law that everyone is so upset about has more restrictions against profiling than existing Federal law? Have you actually read the law? It is available right here so you don’t have to be ignorant of what it actually says: http://www.azleg.gov/legtext/49leg/2r/bills/sb1070s.pdf It’s a whole 16 pages so it won’t take long to read.
Ignorance can be remedied. I hope it is possible for you to learn from this before you become the next target of uninformed attack.
Remember, there are those who are always ready to manipulate the uninformed as pawns in the quest to achieve their hidden agendas.

He said, He said
Arizona Senator Jon Kyl reports that Obama said that he is not securing the border because if he does he won’t get any Republican support for “Comprehensive Immigration Reform.”
Then an Obama spokesman calls Senator Kyl a liar while refraining from using the word “liar” specifically. When asked if the White House would release what exactly Obama did say to Kyl, White House Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton said at Monday’s White House briefing there would be no direct quotes given and, "The president's feelings on immigration are crystal clear."
The bottom line here is that someone is not telling the truth. Any parent has been faced with this one at one time or another.
How do you tell if someone is lying? One way is if their actions are not matching their words.
Let’s see. Obama said he is going to send 1,200 National Guard troops to the border.
Crickets chirping.
Nope, no National Guard has been sent to the border.
Obama met with Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and promised that he would be sending people out to talk with her in detail in two weeks.
More than two weeks later… more crickets chirping.
Nope, no one has arrived. Just a statement by way of Ecuadorian television letting Arizona know a law suit is coming.
Obama and his people have said they have been involved with the oil spill from “day one” (boy I hate that phrase). What have they actually done?
Turned down offers for assistance. Stopped barges that were sucking up the oil. Prevented the building of berms that could have kept the oil from reaching shore, but otherwise … crickets chirping.
No actions actually aimed at stopping the leak or collecting the sludge. I guess being there from “day one” means reading the newspapers while on the golf course.
There is definitely someone here whose actions indicate a propensity for lying.

Tale of yet another City
From Fox News - June 1, 2010 - 11:32 AM by: Dan Springer: "One woman is dead and two others were raped recently and police say each crime was committed by a different illegal immigrant. One of the sexual assaults happened just hours before the Seattle city council passed an ordinance boycotting Arizona over its new immigration law. "
Boy it's a good thing those Seattle council men and women are keeping their focus on what's really important. You people in Seattle have so much to be thankful for in regard to the way they are protecting you from people who are trying to put a stop to those rapes and murders down in Arizona.
Un-fricking-believable.
Sleep tight Seattle.
