Rick Perry: Obama Administration is Fueling ‘Surge’ in Illegal Immigrant Children

Poor Rick Perry. Despite his tendency to insert his foot in his mouth multiple times in national Presidential debates, the Texas Governor certainly knows how to talk tough when the situation calls for it.
And this situation definitely calls for it. According to Fox News, Perry is accusing President Obama of allowing a recent “surge” of illegal immigrant children to enter Texas without doing anything to stem the flow. And no, these aren’t anchor babies – they’re children who cross the border without their parents, and frequently end up in government sponsored child care once they reach the other side. Screen grabs of Perry’s acid-tongued complaint to the Obama administration follow:
Harsh stuff. But it’s dubious as to whether the White House will listen – children are a politically easy group to defend, though this story does raise the question of why so many children are crossing the border alone. Where are the parents in all this?

Posted on May 8, 2012 at 7:20amCinco de Mayo isn’t Independence Day for Mexico. That falls on September 16.. but the point is we don’t allow livestock & other game pet animals in without inspection . we’re going have a national epidemic. CDC will be helpless as they’ll have no control. I’d rather have have millions of tons of heroin & cocaine than one single child with a lab created super flu with a 96% mortality rate.Priorities?

Posted on May 8, 2012 at 8:18amIt’s all part of the “one world order” strategy! The old socialist/hippy crowd have infiltrated everything! All still wanting America to fail! “Imagine there’s no country. It’s easy if you try. No hell below us. Above us only sky.” Bill, Hillary, Bill Ayers, Hanoi Jane,… You know the types. They all have the same pipe dream that selling America out is good for the world as a whole. They could care less about the American dream for Americans. It’s “come one, come all and help us bring down the greatest civilization man has ever known”. The drug cartels are another club in their bag. Keep the masses “high” and dependent and they’ll never realize the coup is happening!

Posted on May 8, 2012 at 11:29amflorida123, you’re the one who needs to get your facts straight. Cinco de Mayo celebrates the one victory the Mexicans had over the French. They won one battle out of the war, and yet they think it’s something to celebrate each year…the French won the entire war, by the way…Let’s imagine if the drug cartels were in the United States instead of Mexico, and let’s imagine if they began kidnapping and killing these unaccompanied minors. Or let’s imagine if the citizens of the U.S. simply began shooting these kids right there at the border. How many of them would come in then? And how quick would the federal government act – to arrest and jail those shooting at these kids? If you can‘t feed ’em, don‘t breed ’em. Those Catholics need to act responsibly and stop spitting out kids they can’t support!

Posted on May 8, 2012 at 2:50amParents sending their minor children into a foreign Country on their own? They can’t be toddlers, so they must be older teenagers. This seems to be that everyone is becoming aware that Obama will lose the election in November and they realize that it’s the last chance to give their children a chance at a successful life. When Obama loses, there are already plans for Obama to “spread the wealth’ (our wealth) to Nations to receive profits from the USA. He plans to force through International Treaties where foreign nations profit from OUR labors in international waters, when drilling for fossil fuels and ores. Let’s hope that the House Republicans can stop this mad man.

Posted on May 8, 2012 at 1:36amI personally know of a situation where a Mexican man is working here with a green card and he is using a woman’s children who is here illegally as a tax deduction. They do not live together and he does not give her one dime. I have tried to turn this in but I keep getting a run around to call this agency or that one tells me to call another. This guy gets in the thousands of dollars back in tax money. The women by the way works under the table cleaning the offices of our local FFA.

Posted on May 8, 2012 at 1:09amWe have no proper enforcement of our laws. When those who are willing to enforce the laws attempt to enforce them, the feds interefere with states rights and tie the courts up until the damage is done, even if decisions are made to support states rights. The feds are interefering with Justice and this must be stopped. They are destroying and dismanteling this country piece by piece from many vantage points in different agencies and branches of government. The feds are putting every law in every area that is at their disposal to work where will delay and stall Justice. Laws to give themselves rights they do not have are introduced and some laws twisted until these laws are being used without the Spirit and intent they were made for. It is enough to fool people who have been left ignorant of the Truth through years of being dummed down or those who never cared for it in the first place. These are many of the people on the streets being used as fodder for their agendas that are working towards one goal and that is the destruction of this country of her freedoms.

Posted on May 8, 2012 at 12:49ami may be alone in this (well excluding rick perry) but i agree that children, wherever they are from, deserve an education. it is not their choice to cross the border. it is the choice of their parents. i always thought it was human nature to protect children.
i also think its quite obvious why obama does nothing to control the borders, the more immigrants, the more votes for obama. its the one and only reason. he is destroying america, solely for his own gain. solely for 4 more years. its quite appalling really. but thats politics. corrupt and immoral.

Posted on May 8, 2012 at 1:19amI don’t agree. If you own a home, your tax money goes to help fund education. At my grandsons school, he lives with us, it looks like little Tijuana. These people live in apartments and don’t pay the property tax that a home owner pays. My grandson’s classrooms are overcrowded and there was double the freshman class this year. I am sorry; kids need education yes, but not this way. Our country is being raped by the hands of this Commie In Chief.

2. System starts to crack “Done”
3. Cause confusion. “Done”
4. Cause frustration. “Done”
5. Citizens give up. “After Nov. if I win.”
6. Implement Obummer plan. ” Iron fist in Dec.”
