Obama, the Deportation King and Deportation Commander and Chief, is accused of doing nothing about the children coming across the Mexican border into America. Yet, the Senate passed a comprehensive immigration bill that included 19,000 new border patrol officers and finishing the fence which the House never acted upon. Now the administration has asked for $3.7 billion to address the problem. It looks like he may get a third of that. I heard this morning that a plane of mothers and children has been sent to Honduras.
Even the anti-Obama web site (http://lexingtonlibertarian.wordpress.com/tag/illegal-immigration/) says the following:
"It is true that a Bush-era law requires the border patrol to hand over child migrants from countries other than Mexico to the Department of Health and Human Services to be placed with a suitable relative. The administration is rightly calling for that law to be changed."
But congress has refused to act so far.
Perhaps Maria Cardona has said it best as quoted in CNN:( http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/09/politics/immigration-obama-distrust/)
"The issue of immigration is ripe with politics, especially in an election year. It motivates the Republican base, which is skeptical of reform and despises Obama.
But Democratic strategist Maria Cardona said Republicans are trying to have it both ways -- ask for a solution and criticize the President.
"They can't scream about the house being on fire and then cut off the water supply to put out that fire," she said." (bolding added)
