Out My Window

Yes... The President has announced that there will be one more barrier for immigrants in their trek to the United States. In addition to dodging dangerous drug traffickers and immigration officials, the latest obstacle is emerging: a wall will be completed between Mexico and Guatemala.

Oh, I forgot to say it is the Mexican President.
According to Mexico’s National Commission on Human Rights (CNDH), 500,000 people from Central America cross into Mexico illegally every year. In addition, smugglers reportedly use the Suchiate River to move goods across the international border without paying duty taxes.

According to the head of customs for Mexico’s tax administration, Raul Diaz, the Mexican border state of Chiapas is constructing a wall along the country’s southern border with Guatemala, along the river Suchiate which divides the countries. Diaz says the purpose of the wall is to prevent the passage of contraband, but admits, “It could also prevent the free passage of illegal immigrants.”

Did he say "illegal immigrants?" Here in the US, we prefer to call them "new citizens". I think that is the term Obama wants us to use.

Mexico is now receiving a great deal of criticism from Guatemalan officials. Guatemalan civil and government organizations have called the move “senseless,” saying a border fence will not prevent undocumented migrants from crossing the border.

Despite eyewitness reports of Mexican border fence construction having commenced — including the mayor of the western Guatemalan municipality of Ayutla — Guatemalan authorities say the Mexican government has yet to comment on the project.

In 2010 alone, the United States has given $450 million to Mexico, for the expansion and development of it's security agencies.
How much does a fence cost to build if you don't have immigrants to do the work... wait...

Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has halted the construction of a fence on America’s own southern border and the U.S. Department of Justice is seeking to prevent the adoption of localized border state laws attempting to curb the flow of illegal immigrants and drug-related violence.
While the Obama administration condemns the efforts of Arizona and the calls from many Americans who insist on constructing a fence on the country’s southern border, will the U.S. government continue to funnel millions of taxpayer dollars to Mexico as they build their own border defenses?

I think we might have to look for help from Guatemala on this. Maybe their leader can visit Mexico and be treated like royalty. The Mexican lawmakers could give him a standing ovation. The President of Mexico could be moved enough by the voting power that he brings a law suit against Chiapas to stop building the fence and overturn laws aimed at curtailing illegal entry to Mexico.

Yeah, they might do that but they would have to be pretty damn dumb to do so, wouldn't they?
No offense, really!

A former voter registration worker for the community organizing group ACORN (where do we know that name from?) has pleaded guilty in Milwaukee to election fraud.

A Milwaukee woman faces up to three and a half years in prison and a $10,000 fine when she's sentenced in October. Prosecutors accused Maria Miles of repeatedly trying to register the same voters to meet ACORN's 20-signature per day quota before the 2008 presidential election.

Another former ACORN registration worker, Kevin Clancy, has also been charged with election fraud for registering the same people repeatedly. He's scheduled to appear in Court for a plea hearing on Sept. 22.

For you Obama supporters: I'm not implying that Obama would have lost the election if we knew he had been cheating.

The Department of Justice brought charges against members of the New Black Panthers for voter intimidation. Members were videoed standing in front of a polling place carrying weapons and glaring at white voters as they entered.
The members were found guilty and were awaiting the sentencing phase.

Obama won the election, as we know, and appointed Eric Holder attorney general. The new political appointee heading DOJ's Civil Rights Division, Thomas Perez, hand-picked by Attorney General Holder and President Obama, dropped the case against the Black Panthers.

The reason Perez gave was that there just was not enough evidence to win the case.

Hadn't the Justice Department already won? Yes, the government had already won. All they had to do was wait for the court to hand down its punishment.

They were hoping everything would just go away. No one would ever find out they were playing favorites with their associates in the Black Panther Party.

And it would have gone un-noticed if J. Christian Adams, lawyer from the Justice Department who had worked on this case, resigned so he could bring this injustice to light.
Thing is... what will be done now that the public does know? Will they still ignore it or will someone be held accountable?

Does anyone remember when Obama worked so hard to make his appointees immune from Congressional oversight? Is there still any question why?

I found this web site and though, "Boy, you can find anything on the web." I was going to let it go as some idiot that just didn't know any better until I happen to read a few lines.

It occurred to me that someone may actually think this guy had something valid to say and take some of it as fact.
You see, much like how you have rights, so must you have obligations, you can read but you must choose what is the truth in what you just read.
If you don't know me, you might not know how I feel about history being re-written but, you know those annoying people on Facebook that who's job it to find all the misspelled words and incorrect punctuation and point it out in a comment? Yeah, when you quote something from a history book that is untrue... that's me.

Please excuse the foul language, I will not insult your intelligence by putting asterisks for A's or $ for S's in an attempt to make the poster look anymore creditable.
