House Passes Border Protection Funding Bill

August 4, 2010 by  

House Passes Border Protection Funding BillAmid the ongoing legal and political controversies surrounding the Arizona immigration law, the Federal government has sent a strong signal that is meant to silence the measure’s supporters.

On July 28—just one day before the new law went into effect, albeit with several provisions struck down at the last minute—the House of Representatives passed a $701 million Emergency Border Security Supplemental Appropriations Act.

Sponsored by Representatives Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and David Price (D-N.C.), chairman of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, the bill includes money for 1,200 additional Border Patrol agents as well as 500 more Customs and Border Protection officers, The Tucson Sentinel reports.

The funding will also cover several permanent Border Patrol forward operating bases, improved tactical communications and two additional unmanned aircraft systems. Millions in further support will also be provided for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and to hire more Alcohol, Tobacco and Fireamrs, Drug Enforcement Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation agents.

After the vote, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that “this legislation honors our first responsibility to protect the American people by giving law enforcement the tools they need to address the threat of violence near the United States-Mexico border.”

The bill even met with cautious approval from the spokesman for Jesse Kelly, who is seeking the Republican nomination to run for U.S. Congress from the 8th Congressional district of Arizona this November. John Ellinwood told The Sentinel that "whatever [Congress] can do to get the border secure is great.”ADNFCR-1961-ID-19915680-ADNFCR

    Obama and his admistration want Americans to turn their head to other news, while we loose the safety and soverignty of our Nation. Our American System, especially our Constitution and certain immigration laws pose a problem to the agenda of ” The North American Union “, Mexico’s President and other southern Countries are pushing for completion in order to build a trade highway through America and into Canada. This will further our job losses and the cost to the American tax payers. Part of the demise of our systems are already being felt due to illegal immigrants useing false documents to gain access to our Social Aid Systems meant for Citizens of the U.S. and breaking our bank. You as an American need to stand up now and act to suppress further decline by demanding Border Closier and immigration laws to be enforced. It is your future that is in play now, and our government is allowing it to be given away, to those whom have broken our laws and not put money into our Systems. Yet the threat of terrorism continues, simply because our government has turned a blind eye to laws concerning immigration. Mexico is in turmoil, and being completely taken over by Drug Cartels, that assist terrorist into the U.S. along with Cartel Criminals who have set up connections already in every Major American City. Just read the latest News coming out of Mexico, it shows Mexico is loosing for Organized Crime has infiltrated even government positions and offices, they assinate anyone who poses a threat to their controll, many just days before elections. The Border Safety, in more dire now than it has ever been before. Close our Borders, and round up illegals and deport NOW.

  • Ken

    They think that they can shirk their duty then finesse voters with a bill that ostensibly provides border patrol resources. The majority in the House and the Senate are an outrageous lot. When November comes it’s time for a big time ouster.

  • Frank Zappa Sez

    First we need to get rid of Nasty Nancy Pelosi, and all the other corrupt career politicians, which is about 97% of them, next we should not let stupid people vote because this is how we got Obama, Next Post several sentry’s in several towers by the Mexican border and the warn the Illegals with “Signage” (If They Can Read) that if they attempt to cross the border they may die, by a gun shot to the head, or as I like to say it this way “Kill-em All and Let God Sort-em Out.” Oh before I forget spell check sends error messages for the spelling Obama, and Pelosi, could this be a hint something may be wrong? Long live Rednecks and AK-47′s, One Shot One Kill. SEND TROOPS NOW FOR FIELD TRAINING EXERCISES.

    While this may seem “Harsh” for you compassionate bleeding heart liberals think of it this way, there was a Man in Arizona who’s name I do not recall but he had a farm that was family owned for years who showed compassion on these Animals who come across the border ILLEGALLY, and the very people he helped Murdered him and his family, I mean How Nice is this?

    November is just around the corner, a little over 90 days away and I will be going Green this year, which means Re-Cycle Congress. I encourage everyone to vote Green, which seems to be the latest push these days. So F-Em All and I hope some liberal is offended by my comment.

  • M.L.

    DO YOU THINK OBOMA BELIEVES BY CEDING LAND FROM ARIZONA AS WELL AS TEXAS TO THE MEXICANS THAT WILL APPEASE THE MEXICANS FOR THE TIME BEING, BECAUSE HE IS HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING AMNESTY THROUGH? ON THE OTHER HAND MY FEAR IS ALSO ABOUT THE ANCHOR BABYS BECAUSE IF WE DO DEPORT AND OR KEEP GIVING THEM A HARD TIME THAT HATE WILL FESTER AND BE HANDED DOWN TO THE CHILDREN THAT ARE NOW CONSIDERED AMERICAN CITIZENS AND THE REBELLION IN OUR COUNTRY WILL CONTINUE AND BE HANDED DOWN TO OUR CHILDREN. OUR GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONSIDER THE FUTURE OF OUR AMERICANS AND IN THIS COUNTRY’S FUTURE WHEN MAKING THAT DECISION. THEY CREATED THIS THEY HAVE TO FIX IT. FRANKLY I FEEL WE MUST REVERSE THE AMERICANIZATION OF THE ANCHOR BABYS SO OUR CHILDREN WON’T SUFFER THE DEATHS AMERICANS HAVE TO ENDURE NOW FOR THE SAKE OF APPEASING THE MEXICAN PEOPLE.

    Islamaphobia is not where it’s at. There has been a concerted effort in this nation to make Americans hate Muslims. But that’s just a diversion so that the real rulers of the world can make their moves behind the scenes. Don’t be duped into thinking that a dozen small countries loosely knit by a fanatical religion can take over the world. Look to the head of the snake: The world banking empire.THE ROTHSCHILDS started this banking empire ca. 300 years ago in Germany. Mayer Amshel Rothschild had several sons. He was a money lender–a banker to kings. That’s where he got his start and special favors for him and his people. He was an Ashkenazi Jew (people of a Turkish race, converts to Judaism in 740 A.D.) Khazaria, their country, was on the borders of the Caspian Sea. They were forced out in the 1300s by the Mongols, and they went into Russia and Western Europe as BANKERS & MERCHANTS. They loaned money to royalty because they were certain of getting paid back the INTEREST. (The Old Testament forbids charging interest fees between Hebrews but says it’s okay to soak the Gentiles for it.) The Rothschilds now have enough wealth that they own HALF THE WORLD’S WEALTH. Baron Evelyn Rothschild lives in royal splendor in Great Britain, and it a “pal” to The Queen. He owns Great Britain, more or less–The Queen is a “piker” compared to his wealth. Don’t for a moment kid yourselves that Muslims are going to take over. These Ashkenazis already have. They bankrolled Israel–in fact it has been said that they “own” Israel. They own the Federal Reserve Bank (forced upon the Americans in 1913 SECRETLY) which is not federal at all. It is 12 foreign banks and it prints our money and then SELLS IT TO OUR GOVERNMENT. Some remedies to get out from under the enslavement that the Rothschilds and their Ashkenazi cohorts have put us under? (1) Try to bank with small town banks that are not part of Wall Street (2) Use your local credit union, which has most of the perks of a bank but is not affiliated with Wall Street (3) Use barter whenever possible–a lube job for fixing someone’s computer, etc. (4) Buy silver. The money the Federal Reserve prints is worthless. And by the way, all that so-called “gold” in Fort Knox DOES NOT BELONG TO THE USA–it belongs to the ROTHSCHILDS–THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK(S) but our soldiers guard it night and day. And the American taxpayer PAYS FOR IT. You can find out more about this WORLD EMPIRE that wants to control us all and turn the USA,Canada, and Mexico into the North American Union by going to utube and checking out The Rothschilds Exposed (I think that’s the title). Just type in Rothschild. The mother of the Rothschild sons said once that her sons could start wars any time, anywhere. What a thing to brag about. Stop worrying about Al Queda–that’s a boogy man made up as another Islamic diversion. The real vipers walk among us in business suits.

    • movingtarget

      I agree Fempatriot, and the media cartel wants us to think Bill Gates is the richest man in the world, that’s just a cover story to protect the Rothchilds. Specking about the Federal Reserve, in 1935 the Latin phrase Novus Ordo Seclorum was placed on the one dollar bill, (the most common of all bills). Novus=New, Ordo=Order, Seclorum=Secular. New Order Secular, or New Secular Order. If you look up secular in the dictionary it says, Not religious or sacred, not spiritual:worldly. So I guess we can see that the enemies of GOD are trying to set up a New Worldly Order, which will become the Kingdom of the antichrist. These people are pagans, and are using Islam to intentually offend christians, because they hate that religion the most, and want to pit one group against another to cause war, and eventually martial law, while they sit back and watch the dump show!!!

      • Fempatriot

        Ray, you are spot on. Americans are for the most part ignorant of the real enemies of this nation and are easily led. In fact, Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel just said that America was easily led (by Israel.) Did you know that every time an Israeli leader comes to talk with the President they ask for the release of arch-spy Jonathan Pollard who gave to Israel nearly a million pages of super-secret US material while he was in the US Navy? He should have gone up before a firing squad instead of being put into prison and fed and housed at taxpayers’ expense. (Just my opinion–but we executed the Rosenbergs in a horrible way back in the early 50s–electric chair–for their spying on the USA and their betrayal of our country–to the Soviet Union.)

  • Dennis III

    Typical Progressive Fit-all Throw More Money at the problem and it will go away. Stop the Revolving door of Illegals by enforcing the laws that are already in place to stop undocumented aliens from getting jobs, there can be as much as a TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE for ANYONE HIRING EACH Illegal Alien. This is FEDERAL LAW. Enforce that ONE law and watch the Illeagals go home on their own.In Fact get out of the way they´ll run you over going home.

  • Richard M. Smith

    Again, I say you make the border a military proving ground, with live fire exercises. Governer Brewer can do this with the people of Arizona’s support. Problem solved

    • Craig

      Bet Camp Pendalton, CA does not have any problems with illegals passing through their land.

  • BrotherPatriot

    As we are waking up to the simple fact that we have crooks, self serving power hungry polititions and a liar puppet sitting on our presidential chair…it becomes plain and obvious that America has problems. So many problems in fact that in my opinion, what right do we have to have our troops out and about when all this is going on? We are coming to suspect that the government has gone rogue on us and is no longer serving the people. This is painfully true…so we should pull our troops back home and police ourselves (purge the government of these traitors) because our troops are furthering the Elites purposes…not ours, the American people.

    Anyone who votes to take guns from the American people is a traitor to America. Period. They lose their seats by default. Anyone who tries to sue Arizona for trying to protect themselves and the rest of America…loses their seats as well. Anyone in the government who voted to allow the Federal Reserve to continue to operate…to remain audit free…is a traitor to the people as well and needs to lose their seat in congress.

    Enough is enough…time to roll up our collective sleeves in November and begin clearing the trash out. Here an American Vet salutes Arizona and Ron Paul!

  • Davy C.

    Impeach Obama and replace him with that beautiful, courageous governor from Arizona, send Plossi and Reid to Mexico and seal the border.

    • mickey

      I wonder if these three look at themselves as infidels. obama married a christian. Don’t think the Mexicans think of themselves that way either.

      I will agree to the mosque if it has a huge sign that reads “tower of shame” that can be read by satellite. People that pass it should turn their backs as they go by.

    • Deborah

      Don’t impeach him! That would acknowledge he served as president. RUN HIS ASS OUT! Pitch him out with the rest of the Garbage! His newly founded Muslim, Marxist government (CZARS) too!
      Oh~ and Kagan! He can have her too…OH, the Pole Cat and Reid too!!!

    • Fay

      I Love it. but no impeaching as he is not legal he can not be pres and therefore not impeached.

      • Diane

        BUT HE CAN BE TRIED AS A TRAITOR! Tar, feather and hang him high.

      Davy C.,
      Naw, put P-lousy and Screed ON the border in the worst 100 yards of it!!! Let them see first hand what they have put the people of Arizona through!!! tell them to defend the border and if they run they will be “handled” if they try to make a deal with the runners they will be “handled”! That’s what THEY deserve!!!

  • OneDamnAngryAmerican

    Yup, right after the grand-mula-messiah signs a bill authorizing US citizenship, at a cost of 200 million dollars to the US taxpayer, so that 100,000 members of Hammas (mud-skum terrorists) can be brought to the USA and no longer threaten Isreali citizens. I’ve got nothing against Israel. And, th NYC city council, who lost the twin towers, authorized the building of a 100 million dollar mosque, across the street from ground zero, that will bring no tax dollars to the residents of NYC. the mosque will be a religious building, unable to be taxed! Yup, we’ve got real genius’ serving the American people, S-NOT! Time for me to start looking for a new country to live in. Decent people shouldn’t be allowed to live in the USA, anymore! My country (last 5 generations worth) IS NOW JUST A PLACE ON THIS PLANET FOR THE SCUM OF THE EARTH TO LIVE IN! BITE ME!

    • PAPatriot

      I’m damned angry too but I refuse to allow these degenerates to take the country that my great, great, great grandparents traveled from Ireland to make a better life for themselves and their children!!! We are all hard working, America loving, patriotic flag waving people, AND I’LL BE DAMNED IF I’LL STAND BY AND ALLOW THAT SKINNY LITTLE KENYAN AND HIS GAY FRIENDS DESTROY IT!! “I SWEAR TO GOD ALMIGHTY THAT I WILL DIE TO DEFEND THIS COUNTRY AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO STAND WITH ME!!!” NO, they are not chasing me out of my country! THEY CAN ALL BITE ME!!

    It is just another example of democrat beltway boozos at their finest. When those permant bases are put in, there will have to be wide screen TVs installed. So the workers can watch porn on slow days or if it is too hot, like the MME agents were doing. These beltway pin heads who put the joke of a bill, never addresses the drug thugs that already are in our country, like the look outs on the high points to, provide unimpeded access. If there was a bounty of $500 a head, plus expenses, some average American hunters could clear the areas, at probably would spend maybe spend $10,000 plus beer. The case of armed invasions in Az. in our USA, and what is the Omoron and his marxist thugs doing? They are just having parties and waiting for their share of the drug money. Of course, watching and studing the brown mexican ants trafficing cargo, is just some of the stimulas taxpayers money at work to create 2 jobs, if they would have put the dog training study with stimulas money, had been combined, the dogs could of had a test out program to track illegals, money spent with some positive returns. If anyone can find out what Congressional pinheads that inserted the waste in to the stimulas bill, please let us know who it was.

    It’s obvious that this was an attempt to corral the roar that came up about the shooting down of the Arizona law.

    It seems they figured they had to do something because we were hollering so loud, but it seems it’s more to placate the fact that most of the U.S. would like to totally FIX the problem and stop just putting a bandaid on when we holler loud enough.

  • oldsong

    You all should know that there are at least 100,000 men and women in the GREAT STATE of ARIZONA that are willing to go to the border and stop this madness, if the the people that are coming here take a chance of dieing in the desert, well we can see to it that does not happen. They can die right at the border instead. There are right ways , and wrong ways to get into OUR Country the way they are choosing is not the right one. Do it right or die. How about LAND in our Country being truned over to drug runners and people smugglers, our own Citizens told to stay out because it is the BAD GUYS LAND, SHAME ON EVERYONE.

    • Craig

      If you Arizonians need help, I’m willing and am an excellent shot.

      • mickey

        Yeah about 80 miles that obama ceded to Mexico. How much of Texas is he willing to cede?

      • JAFO

        I second that motion, from Ohio. When People are willing to tell the Lawyers and judges and Politicians to go suck on an egg. We can take care of business the AMERICAN WAY. Give me a property owner that wants their land back and put it in writing for my Constitutional Protection. I’ll have the place cleared out in a day.
        The shot in the arm ($701 Mil) to ATF-FBI… When’s the last time they did Americans a favor ? Waco? Maybe Ruby Ridge? Look at the agencies they are giving power and funding to instead of empowering the people. Earlier comments are correct in calling this move a falsehood. It ultimately removes Constitutional right and grants jurisdiction to Anti-Constitutional entities.Yeah, let Big Government handle it for you, you don’t need to worry,”Trust Us”… “Bite Me !”

    • Deborah

      I stand WITH ARIZONA! NO MATTER WHAT!

      • mickey

        Count me in.

      • RogerF

        Me too!

    • Al Sieber

      oldsong,I agree, people shouldn’t be coming here in the summer even if they’ve been here before. if you come here in the fall by the time summer comes you get used to it gradually. I live in one of the hottest parts of Ariz. and I can’t take working in it for long, until 1:00 or 2:00 is long enough. last month they found close to 60 illegals dead in the desert.

  • AZ Jack

    The approved funding is a drop in an endless sea. Although any help is welcomed, this will not help much at all. The border states, Arizona in particular, needs 10 times that amount and what about the two ranches near Laredo, TX that were taken over by drug cartels? Are we just going to let this pass without any action? It appears so.

  • Deborah

    Okay, firstly, this is our government we are talking about. Unmanned drones are war tools that can be controlled by who?
    The Pole Cat does NOTHING that does not include the current White White agenda.
    Remember the Trojan Horse? Well, it was this gift left for the City of Troy after they believed their enemies had left their shores. They drug it behind their secure walls, only to awake to being SLAUGHTERED!
    All of a sudden, because of an election, they change their stripes? I don’t think so, not without complete examination of their intents. I know AZ placed their own troops in place recently. I know that the POTUS violating government has fought Az and has secured every possible means to take away our freedoms. The final cut to our freedoms are do to come to us in the very near future, 2011 Tax Budget and the Anti-American laws it packs!
    I’m saying this, this government has established a new and better way of life for themselves, used if you ask me, and it does not include me or you.
    I’ve been looking in to the Islam ways, in the past they’ve…
    killed everyone under the age of 10 of a country they’ve taken down (infidels)
    placed a mosque up to show they’ve taken over (9/11 Mosque passes)
    Homosexuals are not tolerated (they wanted to be listed as endangered species, they are now)
    Cut off hands for stealing
    Stone to death.. all kinds of reasons for this!
    Public Whippings…things like holding hands to other minor violations.
    Women have NO rights and are property.
    The list goes on and on!

    You should look very carefully at yourself, your family…especially your children.
    If you’ve made excuses for them, i.e. sexual misconduct, drinking, cussing, dress code violations in school, etc, your children will not be tolerated. There will be no appeal courts. Dead, do you understand? DEAD
    Now, you may believe I’ve wronged someone here. Husbands, you are not exempt. Our sons will be raised to believe everything these people stand for.
    The Mexicans and other immigrants see this as an opportunity to become American. You all must understand, America is falling. We are to become a country that tolerates only Islam. Christianity is dead here if we don’t stop accepting Trojan Horses in forms of a payout, be it gold or help.
    You can not be an American if Americans are dead. You will sacrifice your churches for mosques. Believe me, church doors are closing all over America!
    Your lawmakers have taken money from the Muslims, they sold you out! You have little or no time left to make a stand for America.
    Arizona! You by God heed this warning, U.N. or any foreign country’s help right now, beware of those enemies that bear gifts!
    We’ve all heard about the Muslims that turned their guns on the allies and US Troops. Don’t turn your back on the government, or any help they send and you expect deception! We can’t afford to trust! Our country is on the line!
    Look in the eyes of the Muslims, do you see peace there or do you see thirst for blood?
    The Quran, is all lovey dovie in the first part, which they all claim to live by. However, what you don’t know is that the second more violent part of the quran is of violence and the forceful removal of other beliefs and freedoms. COMPLETE CONTROL (what are we seeing now) The second part of the quran always takes 1st place over the first. They all live by that one too. The nice ones in place will take care of your children after you have been dealt with, at least you know they are nice…right?
    They are not what we’ve been lead to expect.
    Take Care of America and Take Care Americans!
    God Bless America and God Bless Americans!
    POTUS! Terrorized in the USA

    • AZ Jack

      You are right on Deborah. Wonderful comment. It looks like you are one of the few who sees Islam for what it really is. They are deceiving our leaders and the leaders are too dumb to realize it, a good example is NYC Mayor Bloomberg, The NYC Council, and the NYC Planning & Zoning Commission, all of which are supporting the Mosque at ground zero. What fools; they will still be completely passive as the sword falls.

      • mickey

        They aren’t being deceived. They know exactly what is happening.

    • mickey

      In the 80′s I housed a couple of Saudi students. One day I found out they were dressed in tradtional dress and carrying lots of money around in the city. I warned them they would be an easy target for our less than noble society. They said they carried bags full of money in Saudia Arabia because if any one tried to steal it their hands would be cut off. They also said that the Afghannis were their migrant workers. And our government has the Afghannis raising poppies instead of food. Some use of our military to guard those raising the poppies. Drugs are the new oil economy.

    • PAPatriot

      I think it’s strange that muslims do not tolerate homosexuals “and Obama is a gay muslim!” Have you noticed how man gays and lesbians he surrounded himself with since he stole the presidency? Kagan is a lesbian and he wants her to become our next Supreme Court Justice!! We must throw him out of our White House and put him in handcuffs, along with Biden, Pelosi, and Reid, and arrest the whole bunch for treason against our Country and our Constitution!!!
      GOD BLESS AMERICA AND AMERICANS!

  • Ray

    The Facts speak for themselves. A list compiled by Border agents called the OTM list {OTHER THAN MEXICAN} has many Hundreds of names on it. These are the names of those actually caught at our Southern Borders by Border Patrol, they include people who have come accross the Border from many TERRORIST supporting Countries. Items left behind on the U.S. side of the Border are found on Ranchers propertys suggest that these People do mean to do us Harm. Keep in mind, that those who are caught and on the OTM List are at the best maybe 1 out of 10, meaning 9 of the ten actually made it and are now in the U.S. and have spread out into our Country.
    The report reveals that 45,008 aliens from countries on the U.S. list of state-sponsors of terror or from countries that protected terrorist organizations and their members, were released into the general public between 2001 and 2005, even though immigration officers couldn’t confirm their identity.”
    “The holes that remain in our border security systems are not small,” House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, says. “They are gaping, and they are glaring to our terrorist enemies. They are coming for us.”
    “It’s not clear how many terrorists or people having connections to terror groups, may have entered the US as OTMs. But FBI Director Robert Mueller, in a House Appropriations Committee hearing March 9, 2006, said he was aware that individuals from countries with known Al Qaeda ties had entered the US under false identities.”
    Please “NOTICE THE FOLLOWING”
    ==================================
    “In recent years, considerable attention has been paid to suitcase nukes that were developed by U.S. and Soviet forces during the Cold War. Reliable sources, including Hans Blix of the United Nation, have confirmed that bin Laden purchased several of these devices from the Chechen rebels in 1996. According to Sharif al-Masri and other al Qaeda operatives who have been taken into custody, several of these weapons have been forward deployed to the United States in preparation for al Qaeda’s next attack on American soil.”
    This should put a whole new Importance on Closing our Borders and addressing our Immigration Problem, which has gotton out of hand.
    Someone with one of these suitcases may be in your neighborhood or city.

    • mickey

      And obama knows this. Mexicans are just the pawn cover up.

      • Ray

        Obama is so into this “North American Union” thing that our National Security is no longer in the top of his Agenda. He desires just what the Mexican President has asked for, Open Borders and free movement through our Country. Obama can’t see the big picture, nor the forest because of all the trees. He worries that we have upset our Southern neighbors, by our illegal immigration issues and Arizona Law. Big Money Companies are pushing the White House into ” Open Border policies,” and thus far it has worked. But the One thing in the way is the American Public , their security and our Constitution. This is why Obama ignores immigration law, but pressures of American people and States are bringing about problems with his plans.
        These writtings that follow are old news, but just as much a threat today, even to Obama but he still just sees the trees.
        =================================
        In any case, it is only a matter of time, unless we acquire the national will to absolutely crush the terrorists first. Did you happen to see that report or the November 2006 reports Al-Qaeda planning for nuclear attack and Al-Qaeda Chief Vows to Blow Up White House on your local news channel?

        How about Al Qaeda Claims to Have 12,000 Fighters in Iraq or Al-Qaeda gloats over demise of Rumsfeld? When the MSM starts parroting the far left’s policy of appeasement with Iran, you might want to note Iran’s Call for the Destruction of Israel, where Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for Israel to be “wiped off the map.” Iran is where Al Qaeda gets a lot of its funding and many of the “freedom fighters” willing to kill themselves fighting the “great and small Satan” – the US and Israel. Their goal is the elimination of Israel first, then the elimination of the USA. This is not idle speculation but documented fact – see the links at the end of this section.

        In a speech by Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Michael Chertoff on September 11, 2006, Five Years Later, he stated “Our number one defense against terror involves the perimeter, keeping dangerous enemies from entering the United States of America.”

      • mickey

        There’s a documentary out (2009) called the Invisible Empire: A New World Order Defined that is worth renting (I got if from Netflix).

        I’m wondering about obama’s October surprise. And, if I am not wrong, this same funding can be used to impose martial law.

        So far he has tried to divide whites and blacks are since that isn’t working so well, he added the illegals, the legal hispanics want the border sealed. That isn’t working so well either. So his next chess move?

        Keep the pressure up on your congressmen. Don’t even give an inch. One of my reps wants to keep illegal students in college while denying an instate student education. Go figure this. Time for him to go.

      • Ray

        The 9/11 Commission Report cataloged the “failures of imagination, policy, capabilities and management” that enabled Islamic terrorists to kill over 3,000 Americans. We have clearly not learned the lessons of 9/11. Unfortunately, what happens at our borders never stays at our borders. By not securing our northern and southern flanks, we continue to expose our country to catastrophe. As Richard Shultz, an international security expert at Tufts University’s Fletcher School in Medford, Mass. has acknowledged: “We believe there is an international Salafist jihadi movement with a goal to attack……. the U.S. These terrorists are smart. They study these issues and learn from one other. And one way (into America) is right through the southern security perimeter.”

    • Deborah

      Icy cold Miller Draft for me or Moose head. For the hubby, Miner’s Brew:)

      • JAFO

        My 223 ammo comes in cases of 1000… I’ll take shots 4-1004… !

    • Al Sieber

      Let them fire the first shot.

  • wasadoc

    Remember the Alamo. Remember where those men were from. They came from several different states. It may have to happen, again.

    • Deborah

      Don’t forget the Alamo! There are some wonderful Mexican people of the United States. Know your surroundings! Know your neighbors! You are now going to find out what it means to be in a war torn country. Never have to wonder about how it must “feel” again!
      Thanks, Barbara Walters! I see how it works now. You’ve spent years on your gd back to get the interview, now you can be proud of the work you’ve done to bring down America. Mock that, COW!

    • Harold Olsen

      Yeah, only there are more states to get help from.

  • http://yahoo burgereater

    GIVE SOME REDNECKS AK47S WITH PLENTY OF AMMO TELL THEM THOSE MEX’S ARE SAYINY BAD THINGS ABOUT COUNTRY MUSIC AND BUDWISER BEER SEND THEM TO THE AZ BORDER. PROBLEM SOON ELIMITED

    • Deborah

      Proud to know my family has finally been recognized! lol! Love it!

    • Al Sieber

      Hey buggereater, you’re really ignorant, it’s not budweiser, it’s Milwaukee’s best.

      • J.M.R.

        GUYS DON’T ACT LIKE THE PARASITES IN D.C. WE WILL HAVE SEVERAL FLAVORS SO WE CAN COVER EVERYONES TASTE

    • AZBOY

      I am tired of hearing about “ak-47′s”. These guns are not accurate, they just lay down alot of cover fire. Put some MEN aot there with some mod 70 winchester or mod 700 remington’s firing the 30-06 cartridge or even some firing the .338 lapua mag. 1 shot 1 kill.

      • Al Sieber

        AZBOY, you got that right. they think every “REDNECK” has a AK 47 and that’s the best weapon.

      • Jim H.

        Mine is accurate, You just need to use the sights.

      • animal

        personally i prefer the barrett 50 and lone star

    • Anna

      burgereater,

      I’m with you,Do you know where we can go to find the Red Necks?
      I along with my daughter & 2 Granddaughter’s moved from Mesa,Arizona Nov.2008 & I still have family living there.

    • Harold Olsen

      Wait a minute!! That could get ME killed. I hate country music and Budweiser beer–any beer for that matter!

      • Al Sieber

        How about some good moonshine? one shot will do it.

  • Robin from Arcadia, IN

    This is a feeble attempt to make the American public think that someone is Washington actually cares. How sad that they are not outraged by what is happening on the USA/Mexico boarder. They only seek to pacify the public. Their real thoughts are on how they can coerce those who are already here illegally to go legal so that they may win their vote. Staying in power is their only agenda!

  • Jim H.

    If Arizona hadn’t passed their own law do you think any of this would have happened? They think we can’t see through the ACT? They’re desperate.

    • mickey

      I think it is Oklahoma that has a law that is stricter but you don’t hear about it. There are other states and cities doing the same thing. AZ however put in that to run on their ticket for POTUS you have to prove citizenship. lol obama can’t run in 2012 without proving this.

    • eddie47d

      This security proposal was in the works many months ago and before Az’s new law. Blame Congress in acting at a snails pace.

      • Harold Olsen

        Bad comparison. Compared to Congress, snails are speed demons.

  • Viktor Leben

    I’m cautiously pessimistic . I think the House of Reps just passed this bill so you Arizonans won’t vote them out. It still has to pass through the Senate ???? Then Obama has to sign it ???? I’m not good at civics but is that what has to be done ?

    So you Arizonans going to start your own “Peoples Army” and kill the invaders ? You might as well ! You guys have a lot of guts !!!

    I live up here in Connecticut. We have a news blackout on what is going on in the rest of the country. The NorthEast is in it’s own schizophrenic world. You probably watch the shows from NYC . When I went to college in Oklahoma for a few years (back in the 1980′s) I had much more news on what was going on … you don’t get that in the NorthEast …..

    • Al Sieber

      We already have our own army here in Ariz. It’s any person that can shoot a gun. and we’re still voting them out no matter what they do.

      • PAPatriot

        There are millions of people around this country who want to join you folks in Arizona and help with your border problems, including myself and my brothers!!! We are saving money so we can get down there and help you!! God bless you all…KEEP YOUR HEADS DOWN AND YOUR POWDER DRY!

      • Howie

        Hey Al, don’t send them illigals up here to OK. But if you do that’ll be alright. I have enough ammo to take down half of the population of mexico. My buddie has enough to take down the other half. It won’t end up like the Alamo did this time.

    • mickey

      There’s a news black out all over the country. I ws surprised at how much freer the press was in Mexico even in the early 80′s than is here. They think the New World Order will work here. I hope not but we are being invaded from within and it didn’t just start with this administration although obama may be the one that brings it about.

      I’m banking on Chavez to stop the take over. lol that I would trust another dictator to stop a dictator.

      • Al Sieber

        mickey, theres a news black out all right,all you hear is current events and fruit cake stories about people getting drunk and driving in the Colorado River etc. or something like that. nothing about the real issues.

      • Howie

        Hey Mickey, if they haven’t blacked out Fox News there where you are you can get a pretty unbiased outlook. This is just exactly what Barry wants to happen. He wants the American people dumb founded on whats going on. He’s hoping that by the time we all find out that it will be too late for us. Then here comes the brown shirt guards.

    • Deborah

      get a cb, scanner or ham radio.
      We don’t get much news here either!
      Go to the old ways to get your news!

  • s c

    In other words, we will get NO military presence on our borders. Is it me, or is Queen Nancy in line for a complete mental competency examination?
    Too little too late is a polite way to look at this latest circus, people. Either Hollywood script writers are in charge of this crapola, or those fakirs in Washington have lost what little sanity they ever had.
    Our military soldiers, sailors and airmen are trained to do the job. They’re spread out all over the world. We need them HERE, you Washington pimps and hookers. Unless or until we have a strong military presence on our borders, we’re sending people armed with pea shooters to a gun fight.
    The result is predictable. America is screwed, and 100% of the blame goes to everyone who thinks the White House brothel and Congress have any chance to remedy an open border situation should be posing in front of a firing squad.
    Here comes another unnecessary war, people. Start passing out the Prozac, America. We’re going to need it.

    • WarriorH

      I still believe positioning of a military base along the border is the correct response. Instead, we have to hire more permanent guards and the emergency funding now will become permanent funding next year and on and on and on.

      • mickey

        It’s in line with his brown guard “homeland security”.

      • eddie47d

        Border Security is not cheap or free. So pony up or shut up!

      • Beans

        Legalize m/j cut all illegal immigrant subsidies, benefits and attractions, including medical , eduction, jobs, food stamps, any kind of financial assistance, and we will not need border patrol, fences, or whatever. They will have nothing to come for, so they will not come, and those that are here will go home or starve.

      • Craig

        Don’t have to pony up any money. There are billions of un-used TARP funds. And we could stop giving foreign countries our money. There is all the $$$ border security could ever need.

      • http://?? Joe H.

        Supporting them, their six or seven kids and their visits to the hospital isn’t cheap either. Build it with the savings after you kick them OUT!!!

      • Howie

        There you go—I was wondering if anyone out there realized what Barry and his left hand were up to. Yes, Barry is just waiting for the right moment to sound the alarm(Marshall Law). The “Kill Switch” for the Internet is another tool he is intends to implement. The time for blogs will be over. The ability for people to communicate will finally be silenced. Another right will be gone the drain.

  • http://?? Joe H.

    The progressives are getting worried about November. too bad for them it’s too little too late!!!

    • dan of arizona

      I think there more worried about where the next 9/11 will be and how are they going to explain this one.Makes them look pretty desperate to protect there own a$$s

    • Al Sieber

      They think we’re gonna forget by Nov.. this still does nothing.

    • Hannibal Smith

      YOU BETTER BELEIVE IT!!

      • Daniel

        So Arizona requests 5,000 for Arizona alone. They give the entire border 1,200 and make a big deal of it. They’re readily willing to spend Billions for war in the middle east and additional billions on bail outs so all they can spare for the border is a few million. I’d say their priorities are seriously screwed up.
