Is There Nothing That Obama Can't Do?

Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!

Associated Press, May 2nd - Owners of the [Vermont] dairy farm were told last week that if they won't sell the hayfield for $39,500, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will use eminent domain to seize it. [...] "Our airports, seaports, and land ports of entry are all part of an interconnected security network to facilitate entry and exit to and from our country," the agency said in a statement Tuesday. "When we fail to fortify one, we weaken the entire system, putting our national security at risk."

Fox News, May 21st - A top Department of Homeland Security official reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.

It would be funny, except that it isn't funny.

Yup, sooner or later all your property and rights will be of value to "National Security", subject to confiscation.

Sooner or later everyone's also going to find out that Barry Soetoro is as GAY as a three dolla bill.

Equally shocked, equally screwed.

I feel bad for the farmers, but only a bit. I'm from the east, and I can tell you Vermont is the most liberal state in the nation, quite possibly more liberal than much of Canada. The state has always chosen big government solutions to problems, and reliably sent two liberal idiot senators to Washington to expand government there. The feds wouldn't try this crap in New Hampshire, just next door.

That's one of the most cutting juxtapositions you've ever done, Kate. Nasty.

Don't apologize for your viewpoint. You don't need to, any more than an atheist needs to apologize for his.

It's only a matter of time that those living near the pourous border start doing a whole lot of shootin', shovelin' and shuttin' up.

If Barry O won't do anything about recent terrorist attacks, what do expect him to do about all the wetbacks? How can he be expected to alienate his voter base?

Ray Stevens has still got it. Note the name on the aircraft at 1:22 (for the old-timers).

Kate, this action by Homeland Security is entirely reasonable. They have to secure the US border against the enemies of the United States.

That would be Harper Conservatives.

No need to secure it against 12 million illegal Mexicans, they all vote DemocRat.

Hypocrisy, thuggery, further destruction of the basic rights of citizens, you say? I blame Canada. If it were a nation of the "disadvantaged", like, say, Mexico, then any border at all between it and the US, let alone its enforcement, would be deemed "inappropriate" and an offense to the sensibilities of all good people everywhere. Instead, Canada is prosperous, western and therefore imperialistic (remember the Regina 16?). That makes it racist, like most of unenlightened middle America, and like all of Arizona. Its citizens are the real enemy, the real terrorists: there's no room for them in HopeyChangey Land.

Those boycotts of Arizona are just the beginning. Look for fences and enforcement along its borders with California. And if you Canadians don't want a taste of the same medicine, you'll get your heads right in a hurry, and put that nice Mr. Ignatief in charge. In the meantime, expect more concertina wire and gun turrets.

A county in Virginia has had basically the same law as Arizona for the past 4 years. Shhh nobody tell the Americans.

Think that border will block wetbacks coming here? They'll pass them on through for us to deal with.

Kate: Steyn mentions your juxtaposition at The Corner.

They're already here. From the start of the Okanagan Valley in Wenatchee, Washington, (US) all the way up to Vernon, BC (Can) there are Mexicans who have been coming here for the summers to work in the orchards and vineyards for at least the past 30+ years. There has been a huge increase in their presence here and we have the men shopping in packs at the local grocery stores. On Saturday night my family witnessed a group of 14-16 year old's walking down a main road, one of them was carrying a two-four of their favourite beer. Not unlike what we see the men doing. I looked at my wife and knew that situation meant nothing but trouble for their neighbourhood.

We used to skip across to the US side to pick up cheap (and really good) tortillas, as the stores stocked close to 20-30% of their goods with Mexican/Latin American food products. And that was close to 20 years ago.

The orchardists don't say much about the cheap labour they have to pay as their profit margins are skinnier than their wallets. They usually attend the RC masses, so the priests don't say anything as their parishes are increasing in size (and givinig!!!)

When we continue to turn a blind eye to the small things, it won't be long until we are blind-sided by this massive truck and then complain that we didn't see it coming.

We continue to not check in the rear-view mirror of history and see what is about to happen.

well, I can understand this expropriation of land, there is a need to stop Kanadians from illegally entering USA, the problem of the mexicans will be solved when Ozero goes to mexico and BOWS for them

[......Those boycotts of Arizona are just the beginning. Look for fences and enforcement along its borders with California.]
Yeah that Arizona electric commisioner....25% of LA juice coming from Arizona....maybe just a bit of smoke but fire could easily follow.
One of the factors most folks don't understand about the last civil war....John Brown and his crew were not a causus beli---anymore than the Michigan Militia will....it was when STATES got physical....what we are now seeing with Arizona and California.

Posted by: sasquatch at May 22, 2010 2:14 PM

Yeah glacier... here in lower mainland B.C... groups of Mexican guys wandering the streets shopping.. We arent used to that issue so it really stands out... As you know ,in the Vancouver area, South Americans were a large part of the street drugs problem.Not sure about now.

The Morses Line Vermont border checkpoint money wasting multimillion dollar boondoggle has the usual reek similar to a patronage driven sewer project. Probably not its fault, but the Border Patrol seems to lend itself to patronage overkill in useless projects far from the areas that are starving for critical enforcement funding.

No one seems to have noted the similarities that marxist logic would bring to the subject of Arizona's immigration problem and Obamugabe's supposedly improper protocol violating statements delivered via his dummy Calderon.

If you consider the marxist position on Boer ruled South Africa, Israel, and then Mexican illegal aliens crossing into the US southwest: Was he not describing "the occupied lost territories stolen from Mexico by whites as the result of an unjust war"? Therefore would not all Mexican citizens have every right to live in said land and demand its return to Mexico?

Seems to fit the mindset of the Washington regime.

So they're flooding into the Great White North now? Let me tell you, Canada, you have some great and enlightening diversity to look forward to! I'll provide one example that is illustrative of the phenomenon. I live in North Carolina, and in the past few years towns and cities all over the state have found it necessary to actually pass laws prohibiting the slaughtering of livestock in residential neighborhoods. They actually have had to pass laws about this. I know a man who owned a nice, tidy little home that he put up for rent. It was a small 2 bedroom cottage. It was rented by Mexicans (turns out, 20 of them were living in it). The owner had to return to the property for some reason a few months later and found that all the kitchen cabinet doors were removed, and replaced with chicken wire. Yes, they were raising chickens inside the kitchen cabinets. It gets worse. In the backyard, a large pit had been dug for the purposes of roasting goats. The backyard also served as the slaughterhouse. This is in a suburban neighborhood too, not out in farmland. Every winter the news reports on some group of Mexicans dying of carbon monoxide poisoning after they brought a charcoal grill inside the house for heating purposes. You can't make this stuff up. And the media lambaste Arizona for finally, in desperation, trying to do something?

Ugly story Kevin...I will have to forgo my like of latin food it seems.Pretty lame reason(ethnic restaurants)for an excuse to be multiculti, but thats the one I hear from my betters....I guess this is the fruits of "globalism", although I am not one usually to argue with that concept, these"chickens coming home to roost"..

"They'll pass them on through for us to deal with".

You may need to pay more attention to what’s happening in Canada, especially western Canada - They have been passing them through for some time now..........

That's why Canadians have a huge stake in the US securing that southern border. I would have no issue with some of our tax dollars going into that security, than a hell of a lot of other wasteful things!

Yes indeed...holsteins in trailers crossing the border in the dead of night through Vermont backroads is a scary thing...to big-time Bam-Bam supporter R-CALF.
