Reid: Southern border is secure

Considering today their are so many Groucho Marxist hiding behind the Democrats liberal and progressive labels who despise the military you might be right.

Nimby, Nimby, Nimby, how well read are you on Eisenhower ? President Eisenhower is probably one of the most under rated POTUS in history. Very few press conferences, JFK would be the first to play that game. Esienhower as President kept a very low profile as POTUS. He did his job like a five star general, he didn't surround himself with yes men, his military advisers were expected to disagree and say what they thought.

I grew up during the Eisenhower administration and still remember "duck and cover" in school looking at Susy rotten crotch panties under the desk. It was an era of very restrictive immigration when wages and the middle class expanded never ever to be seen again.

In America's history when you have restrictive immigration policies, the middle class grew along with wages and a higher standard of living for all Americans even the poor.

Before you enlighten yourself on Eisenhower by reading what few biographies that have been written, start with the Patton Papers. I know it's two volumes of thousands of pages but Patton and Eisenhower go back to the late 1890's.

Patton and Eisenhower built the Army's first tank. Patton paid for it out of his own pocket considering since day one as a butter bar he was the richest officer to serve in the U.S. Military.

You don't have to attend church to prey. As a puke while going through Marine Corps boot camp we had no choice, we had to attend religious service. But every time we went on a four or five or even once a six mile run I preyed don't let me fall out of step Lord.

In Nam I didn't attend religious services every time before we went out on a major operation. As a FNG I did, but after a few months in-country I didn't but I preyed every day that I make it out of this hell hole alive with my balls and limbs intact.

I don't attend church services every Sunday and in the past few decades the only time I enter a church is for a wedding or a funeral but I prey every night.

Someone has been looking over me because I should have been blown up back in 69 and killed a dozen different other times in the past forty years.

I prey at night.
You don't have to go to church every Sunday, just believe.

:agree: What a great post, and an uplifting way to start my day! :thumbs: I would hate to be asked - "did you ever think of Me?," and have to answer "Not as often as I should have - please forgive me." This has nothing to do with any organized religion, either, IMO. I believe we're all here for a reason.

Good morning, APACHERAT. :2wave:
 
And from people like you, a pass to the most powerful (or even agreement) man in the Senate when he spews utter lies. The fact you are upset that WE'RE flabbergasted he had the balls to say such a lie, says a lot about you.

I'm flabbergasted that Reid is so shameless. I hope the people who keep re-electing him are too.
 
It makes me wonder if the dude isn't certifiable. I mean, really certifiable.

Just a bit of common sense should tell one if 60,000 or there about children with no parents can enter the good USA the border is not secure. If kids can do it, you know darn well Drug smugglers, criminals, perhaps even terrorist can with less problems. Then I read where the Red Chinese are now going to Mexico and are starting to come across our borders in bigger and bigger numbers. It seems while the administration is using immigration to pander for votes from the Hispanic community come November, there could be a deadly problem developing because of it.

Here is the latest Gallup poll on immigration:

One in Six Say Immigration Most Important U.S. Problem
 
I wonder how many on the left are going to believe that our borders are secured ? :lamo

Let me see, over 300,000 Central Americans since April have illegally crossed the border, 20% are juveniles and they actually had to search for the BP agent to turn themselves in so Obama could issue them a permiso and then transport them wherever they wanted to go with the taxpayers footing the bill.

DP lib/progressives still are claiming that Obama is the Deportation n Chief and has deported more illegal aliens than any other President in history. That was proven false, Obama cooked the numbers and inflated the numbers. President Eisenhower rounded up 1 million illegal aliens in just one year and deported them during Operation Wet Back.

Now it was just revealed that deportations have dropped 80% in the past five years. That federal immigration judges are allowing illegal aliens to remain in America. Orders from the Obama White House and Eric Holder.

Who in the **** are we suppose to believe ? :thinking

Obama and the libs/progressives should get their lies straight before spewing them.

I have stated from the beginning that our borders are not secure, never have been secure, and won't be secure going forward. Neither party has the balls to oppose big business and secure our borders. Does that make me on the left Apache?
 
Now we have Harry Reid asserting that the southern border is "secure", and right wingers on this board telling us that "the left" believes that the southern border is secure.

That proves the existence at least two parallel universes: One in which the southern border is secure, and one in which there lives "the left" who believes that the southern border is secure.

The multiverse has been proven to exist.
 
Maybe enraged folks on the GOP "side" might want to consider what the Pope said today along with the clergy in Texas.

Why? Not many Papists on the right. That's a dem left thing.
 
That statement makes me wonder what sort of fantasy world Senator Reid lives in. It sure isn't the world of reality.

His world is called "dementia". This is why we desperately need term limits. He is tragic.
 
Triple rows of razor wire, with LP/OP's every 50 yards? Yeah, the border will be secure.

Your right about that. Wonder why all previous presidents r and d didn't do that and now suddenly its Obama's obligation. News, Obama won't be doing any such thing, nor will any subsequent president.

Reid represents Nevada and if there is an industry that needs illegals it is the casinos for all those tiny Little Jobs they always need done.

All big business likes open borders. That's why they have been, and will remain open. Both parties are responsible for it, and both parties pander to big business. Yet let partisans on the right tell it and our border was sealed up tight until Obama showed up.

Is Reid from every other state or is he from Nevada where the casinos pay all his bills?

He's from Nevada as you suggest. My post wasn't meant to be a refutation of what you said but rather building upon it.

Yes I see that, but Reid has a very narrow view of things. I don't think he cares about national companies, as they are the enemy of his side, but he needs to get re-elected and the casinos pay his bills.

I have been to his home town and I know people there. They are such nice down to earth people, I don't see how they created this piece of crap.

You're correct. The border hasn't been sealed. California's plight certainly proves that.

However, President Obama's Milk and Cookie stand on the US side certainly hasn't done the country any favor.
 
This guy really does live in some kind of bubble doesn't he?

How do these people get elected over and over again? It just blows my mind how some of these people not only get elected but after proving how moronic they can really be just get reelected again. Insanity!

I think we have to change that term "milk and cookie stand" I don't think Obama would ever do that as a lot of people are lactose intolerant so maybe iced tea and a biscuit? No wait biscuits have gluten. Iced tea and a gluten free cracker? I know they are expensive but he isn't spending his money, after all.

I don't think the First Lady's menu would have the desired effect, but you do have a point! :)

I forgot about her. I hope if they serve her food, there are very large trash cans right by the food tables, so as to not make a mess on the ground. Mexicans do not like to use trash cans if they can help it.

Hey, you're SOTB, how is this "movement of people" being reported down there?

Sorry. I hope it is not too hot. I don't want to get sued here.

Oh that's right, Mexico doesn't have civil courts. It is a different life here knowing that nobody you come in contact with has to take responsibility for their actions.

If forces you to change how you do things.

I don't see it at all, but I don't watch too much local news nor do I read the local paper. I am in Sinaloa and the police section is about how many body parts they found the night before.

I also don't hear anybody talking about it.

I assume by "body parts", you're not referring to vintage Mopar trim pieces.

I wish. I can't find parts for any of my Mopars here.
