The Liar in Chief rides again!

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 Attorney’s 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.

Speeches and Summits Won

MORE THAN HALF were convicted criminals.

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.

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!
 
More on the issue:

President Barack Obama's commitment to providing some legal status for illegal aliens is reflected in the time he has spent focusing on the country's immigration laws in recent weeks, the White House said one day before the president is set to deliver a national address on immigration from El Paso, Texas.


El Paso is across the border from Juarez, Mexico, a city where 3,111 civilians were murdered last year--more than in all of Afghanistan.


In recent weeks, Obama met with current and former elected officials, business leaders and Hollywood celebrities - all whom agreed with his position on the matter - to promote comprehensive immigration reform.
Proponents call the proposal a "pathway to citizenship" for the roughly 12 million illegal aliens in the country; critics call it "amnesty."

The left went crazy when Bush would give one of his little smirks as they called it when giving a speech.
This President does a little stand up routine when discussing what is a very serious matter in regard to our wide open borders.I wonder if the President thought it was funny when people had their throats cut while they were sleeping by illegals crossing over the border at will.

What a Joker....nice job funnyman!....:dance:
 
Hey Tea........he also said yesterday that US Oil production is at an all time high = a total fabriacation. We produced twice..............TWICE as much in 1970!!! The guy will say virtually anything..........but he also knows most people are sheep and dont check the score.

Ah, yes....ANOTHER Bush Success Story......​

When you have quotes of me supporting Bush on his stance on Amnesty let me know, until then, it's just a pathetic deflection. Conservatives have been on record opposing Bush JUST AS VOCIFEROUSLY on the border, from Rush Limbaugh to Michele Malkin, to Michelle Bachman.

So, nice try, BUT BUSH ISN'T PRESIDENT ANYMORE.

I'm not concerned with a prior president's view on the border anymore than I'm concerned with a prior president's view on the economy, THEY AREN'T RUNNING THINGS ANYMORE. THAT'S OBAMA'S JOB.

So, when you libs are ready to give up the failed meme it's all Bush's fault, get back to me.

I know. We have AMERICANS BEING KIDNAPPED, RAPED, MURDERED and Obama makes jokes.

Way to go funnyman.

Let's wipe that smile off his face in November 2012!

Yeah, he has really told some real howlers lately.

Say what you want about Clinton, but he was a much better liar than Obama. Obama just thinks people will believe him, because who would "dare" question the Messiah! What a narcissist.

It's obvious, he's desperate to boost his sagging numbers. But lying to the public won't cover up the obvious.

We can see he's lying every time we go to fill up at the pump!

yeah......problem is Tea........alot of people out there live in the sound bite world. Somebody like Obama wouldnt stand a chance in hell of ever being elected if more people were educated on stuff, but he knows theres hordes of sheep out there and he plays to it. People like us who know the score and enjoy debate are but a sliver of the voting population.

I consider this our little corner of the world to educate the few who wander in here because they are curious..........a place we can highlight the absurdity of the idea's of the left. But think about it...........back in the 1950's, everybody in America was working except about 7% of the male population. Under Obama its up to 20%............1/5 of male Americans dont work and the goal of the Obama administration is to make that number closer to 25% = nirvana for the left.

Sounds like a plan to me.

Alligators or perhaps some Bengal tigers??

Who does he think he's kidding?? Theres 1300 miles of unfinished fence on the border.

Neither he nor the other guys are going to finsih that fence. They are all angling for the Hispanic vote. Getting elected is what they are concerned with.

Those clowns in DC don't give a rats ass how many billions the illegals suck up each year in social services. They sure don't care about the taxpayers of this country. If they did that border would have been secured long ago.

They all suck.
 
The border fence, oil production, etc., etc., etc. that he's lied about will make for some great GOP ads come the election. Just imagine how many lies can be blown up in but one 60 second commercial. For example, video of him saying the fence was basically complete, followed by, say, a map with accompanying audio describing the paltry completed section(s) vs. the hundreds of miles where it just doesn't exist. Bang, bang, bang as many of those types of comparisons they can cram into a minute.

This is gonna be fun.

Yeah, I was discussing that with my mother the other day about how apallingly ignorant some voters are because they depend on the MSM for their info, or even worse John Stewart!

You ever see that video they took on election day 2008? That's your average Obama supporter!
