Obama is going to do what? HUH?

In recent days the President and senior White House officials have...in the presence of foreign dignitaries mind you...made fun and mocked a law passed in the state of Arizona. This new Arizona law directs that when law enforcement officers engage in a lawful stop, detention, or arrest, a reasonable attempt shall be made, when practicable, to ask about a person’s legal status if reasonable suspicion exists that the person is unlawfully present in the U.S.A.  If you want to read this bill in its entirety, it is here at THIS PDF FILE LINK

At the same time, a number of senior officials, including the Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and the U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, have admitted in media interviews and congressional hearings that they either have not studied—or even read—the new Arizona law! Nor have Administration officials drawn attention to the amendments to the measure, also signed into law, which specifically prohibit using race, color, or national origin even as a factor in determining whether a reasonable suspicion exists that a person is unlawfully present in the U.S.A.  Rather, the Obama administration has chosen to inflame the debate over the Arizona law.  Hmmm.  This sounds familiar doesn't it.  Remember when we were all debating about the government bailout of GM and Chrysler, and then when we ALL TALKED ABOUT the health care reform that Pelosi, Obama, and numerous spineless congressmen levied upon this once great nation? 

But first lets talk about how Obama is flip flopping again on the Arizona law.  Remember last week when Obama had Felipe Calderon, the president of Mexico, by his side?  Calderon's comments on the Arizona law and his request that Congress do something about the availability of high-powered weapons along the border drew criticism from several lawmakers saying he was interfering in U.S. internal matters. The Mexican leader also told lawmakers reluctant to take up the immigration issue this year that comprehensive immigration reform is crucial to securing the two countries' common border.

Calderon, the first foreign national leader to address Congress this year, (HUH?  MEXICO & CONGRESS???)  said he strongly disagrees with the Arizona law that requires police to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they are in the country illegally.  "It is a law that not only ignores a reality that cannot be erased by decree but also introduces a terrible idea using racial profiling as a basis for law enforcement," he said to cheers, mainly from the Democratic side of the chamber.  Oh really?  Racial profiling?  DO READ ON.

CALDERON PROTECTS THE MEXICAN BORDER FROM ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.  WHY DON'T WE IN AMERICA?  Why don't we protect ours? Let's adopt Mexico's policy. Calderon can't complain about that.  In an interview with Wolf Blitzer, Calderon revealed how terribly hypocritical he is when it comes to immigration. What he considers good for Mexico in terms of policy he considers a violation of human and civil rights if employed by the United States. Here is the transcript from the SAME DAY THAT CALDERON gave a 40 minute speech, and the liberal democrats gave him a standing ovation for talking down about the Arizona law. 

This is the Wolf Blitzer (CNN) interview with Calderon...
BLITZER: So if people want to come from Guatemala or Honduras or El Salvador or Nicaragua, they want to just come into Mexico, they can just walk in?

CALDERON: No. They need to fulfill a form. They need to establish their right name. We analyze if they have not a criminal precedent. And they coming into Mexico. Actually...

BLITZER: Do Mexican police go around asking for papers of people they suspect are illegal immigrants?

CALDERON: Of course. Of course, in the border, we are asking the people, who are you?
And if they explain...

BLITZER: At the border, I understand, when they come in.

CALDERON: Yes.

BLITZER: But once they're in...

CALDERON: But not -- but not in -- if -- once they are inside the -- inside the country, what the Mexican police do is, of course, enforce the law. But by any means, immigration is a crime anymore in Mexico.

BLITZER: Immigration is not a crime, you're saying?

CALDERON: It's not a crime.

BLITZER: So in other words, if somebody sneaks in from Nicaragua or some other country in Central America, through the southern border of Mexico, they wind up in Mexico, they can go get a job...

CALDERON: No, no.

BLITZER: They can work.

CALDERON: If -- if somebody do that without permission, we send back -- we send back them.

BLITZER: You find them and you send them back?

CALDERON: Yes. However, especially with the people of Guatemala, we are providing a new system in which any single citizen from Guatemala could be able to visit any single border (INAUDIBLE) in the south. And even with all the requirements, he can or she can visit any parts of Mexico.

While the wishes of President Calderon and the Mexican government should be heard with respect and debated appropriately, OBAMA and Congress should always remember its duty is to protect the rights of American citizens, not foreign nationals.  It is fine that while Calderon gladly exercised the benefits of our First Amendment to criticize Arizona’s new immigration law as “using racial profiling as a basis for law enforcement,” he failed to offer the same criticism for the much harsher immigration laws currently on the books in Mexico.

This is what CNN's Wolf Blitzer was asking in his “Situation Room” show last Thursday.  Wolf Blitzer specifically asked President Calderon regarding what happens to illegals in Mexico with: “You find them and send them back?”

Calderon’s answer: “Yes.”

Coin it “the pot calling the kettle black,” “people in glass houses should not throw rocks,” or any other catch phrase, the truth is that Calderon’s speech was just one more example of the “do as I say, not as I do” attitude.

SO NOW COMES THE GOOD PART!  The President has announced he plans to send up to 1,200 troops to the border with Mexico, a move that prompts many questions.  Including my title of this session of this blog.  Obama is going to do what? HUH?

Sending troops to the border makes sense, when it makes sense—in other words, if it is an appropriate, effective, and efficient use of military manpower. In 2006, President Bush sent over 6,000 troops to the border to assist in the build-up of the Border Patrol. Some National Guard units routinely deploy to the border in support of state and federal authorities as part of annual training duties.  BUT 1,200 is NOT ENOUGH!   Whether this announced deployment fits into the category of makes sense is difficult to tell. There are few details available. In addition, in terms of the overall security of the border it is difficult to see how these forces would make a strategic difference. The border with Mexico is almost 2,000 miles long. The US government already has over 20,000 border patrol agents! Given that many soldiers in a military unit are support and command personnel and the unit has to operate 24 hours a day (requiring shift work), at best the deployment of 1,200 will a few hundred soldiers on the border at any one time.

The only thing that I can tell you is that this is an election year.  Enough said.  Remember in NOVEMBER!  Check it out here at REMEMBER NOVEMBER.  Let's try to get rid of the satanic forces at work against this country before the Lord returns again.  REVELATION 22:20 states it perfectly... "He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon!" Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!"
