The Liar in Chief rides again!
And while the president lies about the fence and mocks any effort to finish the fence, AMERICANS KEEP DYING!
Here's the money quote:
Speeches and Summits Won
MORE THAN HALF were convicted criminals.
Just 5% of Border Fence is Complete | The American Pundit
YET THE PRESIDENT LAUGHS AND MOCKS THOSE TRYING TO CHANGE THAT.
And why?????? Because he cares more about HIS POLITICAL interests than he does the lives of American citizens on the border.
You can lie Mr. President, but your lies won't cover the eyes of citizens living on the border, and it sure won't change their votes.
2012 is coming!
Obama said today in El Paso..."They wanted more agents on the border. Well, we now have more boots on the ground on the southwest border than at any time in our history. The Border Patrol has 20,000 agents - more than twice as many as there were in 2004, a build up that began under President Bush and that we have continued. They wanted a fence. Well, that fence is now basically complete."
Five years ago, legislation was passed to build a 700-mile double-layer border fence along the southwest border. This is a promise that has not been kept.
Today, according to staff at the Department of Homeland Security, just 5 percent of the double-layer fencing is complete, only 36.3 miles.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO), Congress's investigative arm, reported in early 2009 that only 32 miles of double-layer fencing had been built. That means under President Obama, only 4.3 miles of double layer fencing has been built. This is woefully inadequate.
And while the president lies about the fence and mocks any effort to finish the fence, AMERICANS KEEP DYING!
While the border-fence construction lags, Mexican cartels continue to smuggle drugs, weapons, and illegal aliens into our country, attracting violent crime.
The United States Attorneys Annual Statistical Report for Fiscal Year 2009 stated that violence along the border of the United States and Mexico has increased dramatically in recent years. Citing a National Drug Intelligence Center report, it continued, Mexican drug trafficking organizations represent the greatest organized crime threat to the United States and the influence of Mexican drug trafficking organizations over domestic drug trafficking is unrivaled.
Last month, officials in Brownsville, Texas, found a homemade, improvised explosive device on Highway 77 that resembled the bombs used against U.S. troops in the Middle East and by Mexican drug cartels.
The government has even warned Americans not to travel in certain areas of the southwest because of crime. In June 2010, the U.S. Department of Interior posted signs near the Sonoran Desert National Monument that read, travel not recommended, warning the public that it was considered an active drug and human smuggling area.
This is an embarrassment. Americans should be free to move about the country without fear of being confronted by human smugglers and drug dealers.
Here's the money quote:
Kumar C. Kibble, the deputy director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Department of Homeland Security, recently testified that more than half of the illegal aliens removed from the country last year, upwards of 195,000, were convicted criminals the most ever removed from the country in a single year. But, even if ICE removes record numbers of illegal aliens from the country, it does little good if they are able to easily re-enter.

Meanwhile, illegal aliens and Mexican drug runners continue to make their way across our southern border. Cities along our border have seen spikes in violent crime, kidnappings, trespassing, and murder. Officials in one Texas city even found explosives resembling those used by Mexican drug cartels.
