It seems that the US government is determined to allow illegal aliens to infiltrate across our southern border whether we like it or not.
The Obama administration has revived the maligned illegal immigrant “catch-and-release” policy of the Bush years, ordering Border Patrol agents not to bother arresting and deporting many new illegal immigrants, the head of the agents’ labor union revealed Thursday.
Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told Congress that Homeland Security was embarrassed by the number of illegal immigrants not showing up for their deportation hearings, but instead of cracking down on the immigrants, the department ordered agents not to arrest them in the first place — meaning they no longer need to show up for court.
Mr. Judd said the releases are part of President Obama’s “priorities” program, which orders agents to worry chiefly about criminals, national security risks and illegal immigrants who came into the U.S. after Jan. 1, 2014. Mr. Judd said illegal immigrants without serious criminal convictions have learned that by claiming they came before 2014 — without even needing to show proof — they can be released immediately rather than being arrested.
“Immigration laws today appear to be mere suggestions,” Mr. Judd testified to the House Judiciary Committee’s immigration subcommittee. “That fact is well known in other countries.”

What this means, of course, is that terrorists, criminals and other low-lifes are going to take full advantage of our lax policy enforcement. I have no doubt whatsoever that some of those now streaming across our southern border are going to commit crimes in this country, whether ‘conventional’ ones or acts of terrorism.
When Americans die because of these unbelievably stupid, short-sighted, ideologically-driven policies, will the person or persons who gave the order(s) to implement them be held responsible and called to account? I won’t hold my breath . . .

In my opinion, Obama wants to overwhelm white Christian America and replace it with a non-white, non-Christian majority.
The frightening reality that he is allowing millions of illiterate and diseased dregs from the southern Nations and States to cross our borders without effective interference while at the same time adding to this disaster millions more fanatical Islamic believers of sharia law – not so illiterate or diseased – does not seem to bother him one bit.
White Christian America is in all probability finished because Christians are unwilling or unable to stand up on their feet and defend themselves, their way of life, their families, their culture, their heritage, their future and their civilization. They talk a good game, and that's about their total investment in their own future.
Drugged by sex, sports and good times, brainwashed by political correctness, misled by despicable leaders and scholars, many naively hoping for divine intervention, today's inheritors of this great nation given them by their forefathers could care less about lifting a finger to save themselves.
How Christian America can -day after day – watch as Allah's hordes of savages slaughter Christian men, women and children on worldwide Television and at the same time allow a white-hating Islamist import these enemies by the ten of thousands into their very midst is beyond comprehension.
What a mix: White braying sheep wandering around looking for good times, or self-fulfillment, or some sort of divine salvation. Brown invaders waving their flag of imagined reconquest with their leaders shouting "kill the gringos" , and hordes of black Islamic fanatics with a compulsion to kill everybody else who may disagree with their world view.
All coming to your, my, everybody's neighborhood soon, thanks to the almost inconceivably treasonous men and women in the federal government.
It is a bit disconcerting to realize that our heritage, culture, traditions and nation may well end up as nothing more than a footnote in history.
This isn't even catch and release, this is just wave them through… sigh
And yet the Border Patrol (theoretically) still shows up to work and drive around to do . . . what exactly ?
Officials telling their employees NOT to do their jobs – I thought the situation with the Kentucky clerk marriage license already settled this.
While I'm generally not a fan of breitbart.com, Breitbart Texas series on the border war we are fighting whether we want to admit it or not is both disturbing and enraging.

Not may, will die because of this whether from disease or crime. Actually Americans already are dying on the crime side of this.
If these officials start dying as a result of retaliation of family members being harmed, they might pay attention. The way things stand now, nothing less will work.
I've got family living too close to that border. It's their retirement home, way out in the desert. They have learned that the Mexico-Canada road is supposed to pass within a 1/4 mile of it. The BiL is a Pacifist, so no weapons (Chicago born, which explains that sort of mindset, I guess). This got their attention, and they are considering selling, to move away from that road. They know it will have lots of criminal minded people moving on it, and a remote home within sight of it will be a huge temptation for some of them.
When something does go wrong, our congressional critters will dance in the blood as they take advantage of this crisis and use it to further strip us of our liberties… wash, rinse, repeat… I hate watching history repeat itself… grumble grumble… I'm too young to be this cynical!
