As the frog boils...

 

 

"It has started slow, as a trickle. It is now a flood and nobody in government knows how to stop it..."

Yesterday, I heard Governor Perry, leader of the great state of Texas, on the radio. He was having a discussion about the encounter he had with our President (which was only close to the border) as well as what is really happening down there. He gave a statistic that knocked my socks off. Over the past 6 years, there have been 600,000 crimes committed by illegals in Texas.

Other than the folks on the border, many of the rest of us have not paid too much attention. That is until now. Someone said not too long ago, what is happening on our southern border is nothing more than a slow motion invasion. It has been a perfect opportunity for many types of people, some good, some very bad, yet all illegal, to gain access to our country. Once inside the United States, a very common crime occurs - identity theft. For many, it is like being in the FBI witness protection program. The illegal alien now blends in to the landscape, new identity in hand.

How bad has it gotten? The governors know. They have been crying out for help for the past few years. Their budgets are breaking, their services overwhelmed. With no border fence, they need boots on the ground, as well as enhanced technology to secure their borders. As Governor Perry said, the Border Control, although he has no command or control over them, have been very good partners to his state resources. But they are vastly outmatched on the border. Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California all need the National Guard to back them up. And they need them by this weekend.

My conspiracy spider sense starts to tingle at things like this. Just a Fast and Furious went terribly wrong for the Administration, I think this issue has also come off the tracks. I believe that elements of or sympathetic to our Administration planted the seeds in Central America for kids to come North and be part of the Dreamer Program. Once they were here and given refugee status, the families could then come and join them. By the time the 2016 elections roll around, there would be millions of additional Democratic voters.

There is a saying that a nation without borders is not a nation at all. It is a mess. People who have been to the border in the past few weeks have said it is exactly that - a mess. This has been dumped in the laps of states who wanted nothing to do with it. Our President, who would not even go down to visit "the mess", is keenly focused on his next opportunity - a two week get away in Martha's Vineyard. And as the rest of us struggle in this sluggish economy, the President is joining us in that endeavor - by staying at a multi-million dollar estate.

Where will all this lead? I don't know. All I do know is this - if this is part of the transformation of America, he is succeeding. It really is the only promise he has kept.
