Southern border problem...

[Maximus]

As if Obama's open border problem wasn't bad enough, a bulletin was just released that an attack by ISIS on the Southern Border is Imminent...maybe if he just let's them all in and amnesties them too it will be ok.

Yesterday Obama chucked the Pentagon under the bus by admitting "we don't have a strategy yet" to deal with ISIS...maybe he should cancel his fundraisers, get his ass home and come up with one.

Judicial Watch: Feds' Bulletin Describes Threat of Imminent Terrorist Attack on Southern Border
By Andrew C. McCarthy

For those of us who’ve been raising alarms about both the jihadist threat and the national-security vulnerability created by the Obama administration’s non-enforcement of the immigration laws, this is not a surprise — particularly less than two weeks before September 11. But it is nonetheless jarring to read. Judicial Watch has just put out this statement:

Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIED). High-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed to Judicial Watch that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued. Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat.

Specifically, Judicial Watch sources reveal that the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) is confirmed to now be operating in Juarez, a famously crime-infested narcotics hotbed situated across from El Paso, Texas. Violent crimes are so rampant in Juarez that the U.S. State Department has issued a number of travel warnings for anyone planning to go there. The last one was issued just a few days ago.

Intelligence officials have picked up radio talk and chatter indicating that the terrorist groups are going to “carry out an attack on the border,” according to one JW source. “It’s coming very soon,” according to this high-level source, who clearly identified the groups planning the plots as “ISIS and Al Qaeda.” An attack is so imminent that the commanding general at Ft. Bliss, the U.S. Army post in El Paso, is being briefed, another source confirms. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not respond to multiple inquiries from Judicial Watch, both telephonic and in writing, about this information.

The disturbing inside intelligence comes on the heels of news reports revealing that U.S. intelligence has picked up increased chatter among Islamist terror networks approaching the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. While these terrorists reportedly plan their attack just outside the U.S., President Obama admits that “we don’t have a strategy yet” to combat ISIS. “I don’t want to put the cart before the horse,” the commander-in-chief said this week during a White House press briefing. “I think what I’ve seen in some of the news reports suggest that folks are getting a little further ahead of what we’re at than what we currently are.”

The administration has also covered up, or at the very least downplayed, a serious epidemic of crime along the Mexican border even as heavily armed drug cartels have taken over portions of the region. Judicial Watch has reported that the U.S. Border Patrol actually ordered officers to avoid the most crime-infested stretches because they’re “too dangerous” and patrolling them could result in an “international incident” of cross border shooting. In the meantime, who could forget the famous words of Obama’s first Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano; the southern border is “as secure as it has ever been.”

These new revelations are bound to impact the current debate about the border crisis and immigration policy.

Damn...ISIS followed me to El Paso. The fucking luck I have. The terrorists really did fight me here instead of Iraq.

Although El Paso is pretty much Mexico North.

Why attack the border? Don't tell me they can't cross it.

If ISIS keeps playing politics like this they will be the new tea party.

Living here in AZ i can speak with experience that the biggest threat coming from the southern border to us is Montezuma's Revenge.

The current southern boarder enforcement policy is about as strong as it has been since Ronald Reagan chose to loosen federal control during the collapse of the Mexican economy. He predicted, correctly, that illegals would accept low paying and physically demanding jobs that American Citizens were unwilling to do without heavy compensation. Even George W. Bush didn't want to heavily regulate the southern boarder because of corporate American interests. If they choose to heavily defend the boarder, know the impact it will have on the migrant workers who do have an established mutually beneficial system already in place.

Reagan signing IRCA was probably the worst move of his presidency. In fairness to him, though, his signing of the bill was supposed to be the quid pro quo for Democrats increasing funding for border enforcement. The Democrats broke that deal, meaning that we got IRCA without the border enforcement.

And I don't think the claim that border enforcement is stronger now than at any time since the 1980's is remotely accurate.

I posted this in another thread, but I suppose it may be more responsive here:

 

[Randolphkeys]

I agree that pointing fingers at one party or another goes nowhere, since corporations funding both parties profit from vague southern boarder laws. Politicians try to keep their corporate backers happy, and we are talking about the LOW WAGE MANUAL LABOR many corporations use. Mexican undocumented workers are the new slave labor.

Its time to regulate with a legal and straightforward policy that acknowledges this practice. Do it above board with the proper southern boarder security.

The point of my post was just to help put the great benefits in perspective. The US economy and corporations have gotten a lot out of the semi-patrolled boarders. Powerful people got rich off of it.

Pin the cartels against ISIS, simple solution. Opium is a cash crop in the middle east, so claim ISIS is trying to take over the heroin trade.

We can't take care of the ones already here legally, but let's let in 10's of millions more. It's all about fixing all future elections...not about fixing the country anymore. I wonder what black unemployment will be by the time he's out of the office. He's crushing them. Under their first black president, black unemployment is higher and black participation in the labor force is the lowest since 1977. Can't imagine this will make things any better.

As soon as the elections are over he's going to do what he wants.

Up to 34 MILLION blank 'green cards' and work permits to be ordered ahead of Obama illegal immigrant 'amnesty'

• An online draft proposal from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services says it will look for a vendor to supply the blank cards
• At least 4 million per year for five years, including a possible 9 million in the early going
• Document says the move is 'to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements'
• Obama has pledged to unilaterally change US immigration policy this year, but recently pushed back his timetable until after November 4 elections

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services plans to seek a vendor to produce as many as 34 million blank work permits and 'green cards' – the paperwork that authorizes illegal immigrants to live and work in the United States – as the White House prepares to issue an executive order after the Nov. 4 midterm elections.

According to a draft solicitation published online, the government agency will look for a company that can produce a minimum 4 million cards per year for five years, and 9 million in the early stages.

President Barack Obama has pledged that he will make a move on immigration reform this year. His original timetable called for a decision by the end of the summer.

Republicans have decried the plan as an 'amnesty' for millions of illegal immigrants, including hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors who have come across the U.S.-Mexico border this year.

'#Not1More': An immigration activist heckled President Barack Obama on Sunday as he spoke during a campaign event for Democratic Maryland gubernatorial candidate Anthony Brown

Along with its solicitation for blank green cards and work permits, USCIS published images showing what the finished cards will look like

A draft RFP – a Request For Proposal – is typically published in advance so government contractors can prepare to submit their bids when the final version is published.

The draft came complete with photos of what the finished cards will look like.

Breitbart.com first reported on the planned solicitation.

Obama's high numbers of illegal immigration 'removals' – what used to be called 'deportation' – has earned him the nickname 'deportation president,' but most of those ejected border-crossers never get to the interior of the U.S.

Still, activists have protested his policies, including some who heckle his speeches. One yelled at him Sunday in the middle of a campaign stump speech supporting Democratic Maryland gubernatorial candidate Anthony Brown.

A USCIS official told MailOnline on Monday that the draft was published 'in case the president makes the move we think he will,' but added that the agency's Document Management Division (DMD) is by no means committed to buying the materials.

A second official at the agency said the proposal was drafted as a contingency in case immigration reform legislation passes in Congress, not in anticipation of action from the White House.

Either way, the online draft explains that 'DMD requires card consumables for the production of USCIS' Permanent Resident Card (PRC) and Employment Authorization Document (EAD) cards.'

'These cards and related consumables, when assembled, become highly specialized and secure identification documents.'

And a successful bid, the draft solicitation says, will be able to support a 'potential "surge" in PRC and EAD card demand for up to 9M (9 million) cards during the initial period of performance to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements.'

Obama delayed his immigration action until after the midterm congressional election to avoid alienating law-and-order voters, but can afford to frustrate illegal imigrants – who can't legally cast ballots

Former State Department foreign service officer Jessica Vaughan, now an immigration expert at the Center for Immigration Studies, told Breitbart that the RFP 'seems to indicate that the president is contemplating an enormous executive action that is even more expansive than the plan that Congress rejected in the 'Gang of Eight' bill.'

That legislation, which passed in the U.S. Senate last year only to be stalled in the House of Representatives, was a broad reboot of American immigration policy that won support from a handful of Republicans.

In included a provision to provide a pathway to citizenship for so-called 'dreamers' – people living in the country illegally who were brought to Americans as children before June 15, 2007.

Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which he ultimately enacted without congressional support, uses the EAD cards as part of its implementation.

It's all about fixing all future elections...not about fixing the country anymore.

Same day registration and courts that say it is illegal to require proof of citizenship before voting mean that there is nothing preventing anyone he lets in from voting in elections, citizen or no. There's plenty of evidence that non-citizens have illegally voted in a number of elections, and a flood of new people mean the problem is only going to get much worse.

What has made me intrigued by what is going on with the southern boarder is twofold: First, it directly affects me. I teach in a city that prides itself on ethnic diversity and being a comfortable landing spot to political defectors since the early 1980s. Many of my past students were illegals, many of my current students were born here but their parents might have been born elsewhere. It has enriched my life in countless ways.

Secondly, the last presidential election was immediately analyzed by conservative pundits as a miscalculation by the Republicans on the power of the Latino vote. Latino families are overwhelmingly Catholic, and their ethics often line up with Republican stances on many social issues. Latino families, however, get scared of how the strong boarder rhetoric will change the quality of life for legal Latinos, let alone families that are somewhere in the middle of legal/illegal. And let's be honest, there has been a lot of grey area in immigration for the past 30+ years.

I wouldn't.

Latino families may line up with Republicans on a rather thin number of purely social issues like abortion/gay marriage, but they tend to lean heavily Democratic on economic/class issues typical exploited by Democrats, and on which most people cast their votes.

Well, that's not been my experience. I've attended a few La Raza events as a table-filler, and was rather shocked to see how open the "racial solidarity" issue was. The Latino citizens who led that organization were very upfront about wanting to fight for the right of people still in Mexico/Central America to come here. In other words, it wasn't the legal citizens own quality of life that mattered -- it was a belief that even more non-citizens should be able to come here simply as a matter of racial pride/solidarity.

Bottom line is I think Republicans like Rubio who believe that the GOP dropping its opposition to illegal immigration, and endorsing a paths to citizenship, will enable it to win the Latino vote are deluding themselves. In general, those people are coming from nations like Mexico that lean much further to the left than we do, and it's only natural that people coming here from those nations will share that worldview. It's a flood of left wing voters.

 

[Randolphkeys]

There are multiple layers to Latino communities, clearly. Even amongst the Latino gangs there are variant opinions on immigrants. I do think that the Republicans who are analyzing statistics are seeing that the party line has to change with the times or the party will continue to lose relevancy on national issues. But, hey, it's not my party... do what you want with it.
