Patrolling our borders

My great-grandparents immigrated here from Ireland - legally.  My father-in-law immigrated from Germany - legally.  I do NOT understand any argument that says that those who come here illegally should be allowed to stay. It can be done that way and it should be done that way.

We have too many politicians that want to allow "those in the shadows" to simply stay - ignoring their crimes.  I especially despise the viewpoint that we should only deport those who have "committed crimes," ignoring the fact that they have already committed a crime by coming here illegally!

I am dumbfounded by those who talk about "securing our borders" and I wonder why that hasn't yet been done....and then it occurred to me....those in charge don't want our borders closed.  Don't believe me?  Consider this - when one drives into California, you are stopped and asked about any fruit that you might be transporting into the state.  How many roads come into California?  And how does that compare with the 137 mile-border with Mexico?  I don't know, but my guess is that there are many more miles of roadways.  And yet - they somehow can't control that 137 miles.

No.  I don't buy it.  I've driven in southern California.  I hate that the speed limit - on the highway - drops to 25 mph.  There are bright lights and signs showing a huddled family running across the road.  You cannot tell me that they KNOW about the crossings and yet they CAN'T do anything about it.  Nope - I believe it's a choice.

Why?  That's a more difficult question to answer.  I could never understand why people said that there were those that hate our country - and then along came Obama, who wanted to "fundamentally change" our country.  I know now that there are citizens who hate this country and will do anything to change it into a socialist/Communist/whatever they think is better than a free country.

I choose to fight back.  What about you?

Old Debts

Ya gotta love it....

After the news broke of a couple of people being held responsible for debt incurred when these people were LITTLE, the Social Security Administration has decided to "suspend" the program.  Isn't that special?  

Here's a quote from the article,' "While this policy of seizing tax refunds to repay decades-old Social Security overpayments might be allowed under the law, it is entirely unjust," Democratic Sens. Senators Barbara Boxer of California and Barbara Mikulski of Maryland said in a letter to Colvin." '  

I don't care for Barbara Boxer's politics, but at least she didn't vote for the bill that allows this....Mikulski, however, did.  She didn't read the bill.  Stunned, aren't you??

Here's another fun quote, '"We want to assure the public that we do not seek restitution through tax refund offset in cases when the debt in question was established prior to the debtor turning 18 years of age," Social Security spokesman Mark Hinkle said in an email...'  I think that can be firmly established to be a load of horse manure.

Why don't AP and FOX News call these people on their voting for such garbage and lying about what's happening??
