Bucl Sexton Breaks Down President Obama's

Posted: Jul 8, 2014

Sexton introduced his audience to a concept he learned while working at the Central Intelligence agency called “red cell.” “Red cell is basically a war-gaming exercise, but it looks specifically at high-impact, low-probability scenarios,” Sexton explained. “Things that could happen, and if they did happen, would really make a very big difference. It also looks at things that are likely, and tries to then give us a sense — an analytic sense — of where all this is going.” “It’s a way of viewing potential outcomes without actually knowing the future,” he added. #3 scares me..."The third possibility Sexton considered was that there could be a “public health crisis” that could force Democrats to change their position, which he said “seems to be amnesty in different ways and different means.” According to a border health care official, a number of illegals entering the country have been diagnosed with infectious diarrhea, multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, scabies, chickenpox, and growing numbers of sexually transmitted diseases." ;

Unaccompanied minors fall under the bipartisan law, William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, which passed the House and Senate unanimously and was signed into law by President George W. Bush.

That law says the children cannot be sent back. They must instead be held humanely by the Department of Health and Human Services until the courts release them to a “suitable family member” in this country

Thank you for asking that question. I will be glad - to answer that. First of all, the

At almost double the $2 billion that many had expected, The Washington Post reports that The White House will request $3.8 billion from Congress in emergency funding to deal with an influx of unaccompanied minors from Central America. Funds would be allocated to send more immigration judges to the southern border, build additional detention facilities and add border patrol agents, to help stem the recent surge of women and children from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras

This is how ACORN was funded - through all kinds of HUD “housing grants.”

Look what else is in that request. More stuff - added in that request.

What a joke.

You are saying DHS is going to Central America? - Horrors!

[ In Reply To ..]
Are you saying DHS is taking busses to Central America and bringing the kids here?

What I have read:
Under current law, the Border Patrol is required to take child migrants who aren't from Mexico into custody, screen them, and transfer them to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (a part of the Department of Health and Human Services).

Apparently it would be okay with you if Obama picked and chose laws as long as he agreed with you?

I saw a video last night of some people beating the busses with American flags with CHILDREN inside the busses. It made me so ashamed and afraid for the kids. I am guessing these screaming people were probably bussed in. So disgusting.

I also saw a very nice Christian man offering his home to the kids. That made me feel a lot better about the country I live in.

Yes, these children are being bussed here. - and in some instances flown,

I glad you feel wonderful about yourself, but I have a duty to my children and posterity first.

"Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE, has a 'mission-critical responsibility for accepting custody of Unaccompanied Alien Children from US Border Patrol and other Federal agencies,' and then, 'transporting these juveniles to Office of Refugee Resettlement shelters located throughout the Continental United States."

First posted that they were being bussed here and then doubled down by saying they flew here.

I believe this person is definitely trying to give the impression that Obama is driving a bus and flying a plane go pick up these kids in Central America. Perhaps the poster does not understand where the geographical region Central America is?

The posts seem pretty nonsensical.

This law was primarily about SEX TRAFFICKING - Truthhurts

[ In Reply To ..]
It is also only RE-Authorization AMENDING the original law. This law first passed in 2000. Who was president then? I'll give you a hint...it wasn't Bush.

Forham University Reviewed the original law:

As did Cornell under 22 U.S.C. §7101-7112, which emphasis is on sex trafficking of women and girls.

http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/22/7101

Please see Chapter 78, § 7105(b)(C) titled: Definition of victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons

Most of these kids and women coming here are NOT confessing to being raped, threatened, etc. They are stating they are here because they heard if they came before a certain date, they would be given citizenship. The minors flooding over the border are often teenagers leaving behind poverty or violence in Mexico and other parts of Central America such as Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. “Agents grilled more than 200 non-Mexican immigrants in late May, and 95 percent of them said they headed to the US because they’d heard they could get a “permiso,” or “free pass” simply by showing up at the border.” That is not considered sex trafficking or even just plain human trafficking. Drug gang members are also coming here thinking they will be able to set up new channels of distribution.

Chris Cabrera, the vice president of the National Border Patrol Council Local 3307 in the Rio Grande Valley, offered more substantive details “I’ve heard people come in and say, ‘You’re going to let me go, just like you let my mother go, just like you let my sister go. You’re going to let me go as well, and the government’s going to take care of us,’” Cabrera said. “Until we start mandatory detentions, mandatory removals, I don’t think anything is going to change. As a matter of fact, I think it’s going to get worse.” From what the border patrol union leader said, not even evidence of gang membership is sufficient to detain and deport illegal immigrant minors.

He and others critics blame the Obama administration’s DREAM act, which has young people from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and other countries believing they can cross the border freely.

“When the president made a decision that he was not going to enforce immigration laws . . . he created a real magnet to pull in a great deal of new illegals, particularly children, who would qualify under the president’s own executive DREAM Act.

This administration, Obama and Biden to be specific, have mainly caused this problem; Obama by the 2012 decision to give temporary relief from deportation to certain children brought to the United States illegally by their parents, although those coming after 2011 wouldn’t be included in that relief, and Biden who believes more, not fewer, immigrants should come to America. “Speaking to a National Association of Manufacturers’ crowd this week he called for a 'constant, unrelenting stream' of new immigrants — 'not dribbling (but) significant flows,' to bolster the national economy, The Hill reported.

‘We need it badly from a purely — purely economic point of view,’ Mr Biden said, The Hill reported. He is such an idiot. There are already too many AMERICANS that aren’t working and he wants to bring more ILLEGALS here? “

So, although I feel for these kids that believed a rumor, they need to be sent back. If they are coming to reunite with a parent who is also here illegally, they ALL should be sent back.

refusing to pass immigration reform...read this!

While the problem of illegal immigration is undeniably an urgent one that needs to be addressed swiftly, it is possible that the reason the House has not passed immigration legislation similar to the Senate bill is not that the House is negligent but that the Senate bill is severely flawed.

Shortly after the bill was filed on the Senate floor on April 17 by the bipartisan “Gang of Eight,” several conservative members of Congress, including Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R.-Ala.), expressed sharp criticism of the legislation.

“It's hard to believe, but the Senate immigration bill is worse than we thought,” said Smith, at the time. “Everyone in the country illegally is given amnesty. The bill guarantees there will be a rush across the border to take advantage of massive amnesty.”

Smith noted that in addition to most of the 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country, the Senate bill offered to legalize the relatives of illegal immigrants outside the United States and even others who have already been deported back home.

“So current immigration laws are shredded,” he said.

Smith also promised that the House Judiciary Committee would “come up with a better plan that improves our immigration system and puts the interests of American workers first.”

A quick review of the immigration-related bills introduced in the House indicates that the bill that has progressed the furthest (with 199 cosponsors) is H.R. 15, the “Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act,” and it has some major flaws. The Federation for American Immigration Reform notes:

Democrats describe the legislation as the Senate Gang of Eight’s bill with alternative “border security” provisions. As put by Pelosi herself, H.R. 15 contains the “best of the Senate bill,” without the Corker-Hoeven “border surge” amendment, and with the McCaul-Jackson Lee border bill (H.R. 1417) in its place. Which “border security” provisions the bill contains, however, is completely irrelevant given that: (1) neither actually takes any real steps to secure our nation’s borders, and (2) the bill still contains S. 744’s core amnesty-first, enforcement-later (probably never) approach.

As Senator Sessions noted of the Gang of Eight’s bill:

This proposal would economically devastate low-income American citizens and current legal immigrants. It will pull down their wages and reduce their job prospects. Including those legalized, this bill would result in at least 30 million new foreign workers over a 10-year period — more than the entire population of the state of Texas.

On January 30, The Hill reported that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) blasted his Republican colleagues in the House for crafting an immigration plan that he denounced as “amnesty.”

“I think it would be a mistake if House Republicans were to support amnesty for those here illegally,” he said when asked about a proposal to be included in the House Republicans’ immigration principles statement.

“In my view we need to secure the borders, we need to stop illegal immigration,” Cruz said during aBloomberg News breakfast. “And we need to improve and streamline legal immigration.”

refusing to pass immigration reform...this is the real reason:

While the problem of illegal immigration is undeniably an urgent one that needs to be addressed swiftly, it is possible that the reason the House has not passed immigration legislation similar to the Senate bill is not that the House is negligent but that the Senate bill is severely flawed.

“It's hard to believe, but the Senate immigration bill is worse than we thought,” said Smith, at the time. “Everyone in the country illegally is given amnesty. The bill guarantees there will be a rush across the border to take advantage of massive amnesty.”

“So current immigration laws are shredded,” he said.Smith also promised that the House Judiciary Committee would “come up with a better plan that improves our immigration system and puts the interests of American workers first.”

See Senator Sessions full report on the Reid-Schumer bill, a paragraph here: According to CBO, Senate Democrats immigration bill would increase unemployment while reducing wages for the next 12 years and reducing Americans’ per-person wealth for the next 17 years. If you bring in 30 million people in the next ten years, as this bill would do, tripling the number that would normally be given legal status in America, it would bring down the per-person wealth and it would bring down wages.
