It never ceases to amaze me that people think there is some difference between the two parties. This problem has gone on for decades with both parties in power. HELLO!!! THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!! It's not about democrats vs republicans, it's about politicians vs the citizens.

No, sorry, in this case it's the tea bagger politicians elected by idiots. Everyone else was trying to get this situation done. They preferred to go on vacation. Feel free to call out every bea bagging idiot on this.

I think you must be confused. The baggers in the Senate may have gone home, but the ones in the House are still there and working. Why did Harry Reid and the Senate go home? Why didn't they pass their bill? Where is Obama?

Well, the "baggers" in the House have passed two Bills. Harry Reid most probably won't even bother to call the Senate Dems back because like the other 330+ Bills the house has passed, Harry won't even send these to committee either. Now Obama can use his executive privilege to grant asylum and amnesty.

I do believe that's what he's been waiting for.

Obama is the single worse President this nation has ever endured. He does nothing constructive. We now suffer zero confidence among the nations of the world because of his failed foreign policies. His domestic policies are failures too. Obama is a speech maker and hate monger.

You seem to be upset.

Not at all. We'll use it to hammer the Dems in November. Even many of the Dem governors and mayors are opposed to more immigrants being thrown onto their rolls at the expense of their city and state budgets. That might even tick off the Black population a mite. The trap is set. Obama won't be able to resist because he will even throw those Dems up for re-election under the bus in order to continue in his own zeal to destroy the nation.

No, it's the result of Obama's 2012 DACA (Deferred Action for Child Arrivals) Executive Order. The huge increase in unaccompanied minor illegals flooding the border occurred subsequently.

Default Disease Threat from Immigrant Children Wildly Overstated

Disease Threat From Immigrant Children Wildly Overstated | The Texas Observer

Quote:
With thousands of children from Central America arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, an old plague is once again sweeping the country—the fear of the diseased immigrant.
Seems like we never learn from the past. But, let's not let facts get in our way.

The Mexican 'germ invasion' is just the right's latest anti-immigration myth | Laura Murphy | Comment is free | theguardian.com

Quote:
Matt Drudge preferred, as usual, a more pernicious threat: BORDER PATROL AGENTS TEST POSITIVE FOR DISEASE CARRIED BY IMMIGRANTS.
Now we know why we are being inundated with the illegal immigrants = deadly vaccinated diseases meme. Fox News and Drudge are the source of the current hysteria among the paranoid Right.

CDC | TB | Fact Sheets - BCG Vaccine

Looks like Americans are not routinely vaccinated for TB, while 99% of Mexicans are for the past 17 years, about 99% for Hondurans since the late 1990s, which would be roughly the birth years of the current Honduran migrants coming across the border. But, let's believe Matt Drudge and Fox News, and think hardly anybody is getting vaccinated and that they're all diseased and will cause the deaths of tens of millions of white, God-fearing Americansâ„¢.If you're going to be against illegal immigration like any rational person would, don't be an idiot and shoot your own cause in the foot by making this about diseased immigrants, they're all potential rapists and gangbangers, terrorists, English Nativism, etc. Those HURT your cause, and turn off other Hispanics away from supporting you.
