Rick Perry moves Troops to Border – Without Firing a Shot – Illegal Immigrants reported to Reroute through New Mexico due to National Guard – When will NM’s Martinez Do the Same?
Rick Perry has been criticized by the right and the left for moving Texas National guard to the border, the left, for obvious reasons, and the right, for political reasons (upcoming 2016 Presidential election and inability to understand strategy). Perry can now be justified for putting on show of force at the border. A Border Patrol report obtained by Fox News Media in PDF here contains the following (see page 75)
The above image is an excerpt from the report available at http://public.media.foxnews.com/20140730151121_2.pdf
It goes without saying that should the Governor of New Mexico, Susana Martinez, do the same, which the press would demean, and she would stop the flow – the same goes for all Border States. Note while reading the report the influx of adults for a variety of countries from all continents. This would send a strong message that individuals attempting to illegally enter may encounter military on the border.

A Recipe for Electoral Disaster – American’s go deeper in debt, while Illegal Immigration and giveaways are front and center.
Photographs of children entered illegally and housed in the U.S - Houston Chronicle, Breitbart TX
It would be easy enough for individuals in the United States, fully employed with a robust middle-class and actual opportunities for all current U.S. citizens to welcome the thousands of immigrants pouring over the border; however that is simply not the case. With citizens going deeper into debt and a full 35% of those facing debt collectors(ABC News), with a constant drumbeat about compassion for children it is becoming increasingly difficult to accept the “party line”. The news articles such as photographs in the Houston Chronicle on a story regarding boarder militias, include scores of photographs depicting rooms crammed with what can only be seen as young adults, men, and pregnant women, with few “children” included, only fuel the anger.

When seniors are finding their medications either unavailable or priced through the roof, as no longer covered, the blame is being placed on the Administrations programs, when taxes and fees suddenly rise, it is not without a bit of angst that those who voted and supported their politician’s are now shopping. Much of the media is singing praises, while those listening are tuning out and wondering how much of what is left of their salaries is being sent to support individuals who will, in all likelihood, never contribute to the American tax pot.
The only way to end this side show and do it correctly, is to immediately surround the border with national guards that would, when someone crosses, refuse entry. Throw the ball in Mexico’s court. The general story line is that these youngsters are fleeing gangs and violence in their own country; yet, U.S. readers understand that there are plenty of gangs in this county. One only needs to read the death tolls in cities small and large to understand that those coming are not fleeing but possibly joining in the melees that are turning their cities into war zones.
Meanwhile the nations of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, cast blame on the U.S. as the problem, being such drug addicts. That would be the truth if, for example, there was not the push to legalize marijuana, or the fact that drugs can be manufactured right here, illegally, in the U.S. Would these nations have strict drug sentencing laws, it would not matter if there was a demand, it would irradiate their own problems, The answer is suggested to be more “funds” sent south. One might want to withhold their funds, until such time as there are guidelines in place to combat gangs in their own nations. It is extremely popular to blame American first, and then hold out one’s hands for more taxpayers’ funds, however, that is growing older by the second.
Where will the backlash be? One can understand that in the election in November there will be changes coming to Washington, however, it won’t be a moment too soon. Those in power currently, suggesting all is well with the U.S. when it is clearly financially on the edge, are potentially risking more than an election. Impeachment is bandied about, but by the Democrats to raise funds for their elections. Rather than work towards shutting down the border and yes, deporting those who have stepped foot across without clear legal claims, this mess will continue to haunt those that perpetuate this, not for one election cycle, but potentially for decades.

Massachusetts Protests Illegal Immigration – Rallies around the Commonwealth. Nationwide the situation does not bode well for the Democrats in 2014 and 2016
This weekend there were several rallies around the Commonwealth in opposition to the Governors’ acceptance of housing illegal immigrant children from Central America. On large protest was in Boston, at the capital, the video is available below or at YouTube.
A another smaller one was held in the pouring rain in Chicopee, MA (one of the proposed communities to house at a military base.) The photo’s from the Chicopee Police Department (in attendance) are posted to their Facebook page, the video is available here on Youtube. Notice the reference to the “peaceful demonstration” which all citizen protests of this nature generally are – peaceful.
There is no wonder, with a host of MA residents from all political parties objecting strongly to the housing of these children here, and placing the blame squarely on the administration and the Democrat Party, that the President’s poll numbers are in the tank and the latest CNN poll suggests Mitt Romney would win today.
In addition, the White House is spreading rumors that he is about to be impeached! although a white House aide, cannot name who might impeach him. The rumors are twofold - (and several people, both in and out of government are calling for his impeachment), one it’s a grand fundraiser and two it may garner the same sympathy for Obama and it did for Clinton (that is also a gross miscalculation). The leadership in the house and Senate (GOP) would not, if they have not completely lost their minds, and one doubts that, they would impeach or attempt to impeach this President. The reason is simple; he is the largest tool the GOP has for winning the next two elections in, what can only be believed as a landslide.
That brings up the lack of Democrat candidates for the corner office, or those credible enough to run, and those most likely to do so, will be swimming against a tsunami, let alone a tide. This issue has brought to bear the normal 11 o’clock news voter to dig a little bit deeper to find out what else may have gone wrong lately. A side note: It is not that all Democrats that are onboard with the Administrations handling and intention for these “children” (in quotes as majority are over 15 and potential gang members), not so. One former Mayor of Chicopee, MA who this bloggers hopes will run for higher office, has suggested that the California site: Camp Pendleton be used as a facility to host all border crossers until they would be able to be deported or united with facility members – suggesting that it held over 50,000 refugees during the Viet Nam War. He also has called for calm and he believes that the administration cannot move the “children” to Massachusetts unless congress authorizes them to do so. Yes, Virginia, there are fiscally conservative, human and centrist liberals in Massachusetts.
