If you look at these news articles today think about what they have in common...
June job losses at 125,000.
Obama says being American is not a matter of blood or birth.
21 killed in shoot out between drug, migrant traffic gangs near Arizona border
Pelosi says unemployment checks fastest way to create jobs
Weak economic data suggests recovery is fizzling
Startek to lay off 33 workers, 120 more gone within a year
These head lines shout an answer to our economic woes in my view. If you fix the problem on the boarder you fix our current depression...yes I said it ...depression... even though no one else will for another year or two.
You see there are at least 10 million illegal immigrants in this country and 14 million legal Americans without jobs, do you see the correlation? The liberal thinking is that Illegals do the jobs Americans will not do, maybe its because Americans do not have the chance to do those jobs. It might be that our "leaders" think that unemployment checks are a job creators. Maybe it's because because of an unsure economy and value of the dollar, US business are shipping our jobs overseas.
No matter which one of these issues you look at they all seem to be pointing at the border. I know that the President has a busy golf schedule but maybe he could spend a little time in the Southwest and see the problem for himself.
I know that Obama likes the "new deal" approach to repairing the economy, so how about a massive public works project, that has already been authorized by Congress? Build the boarder fence. That would create a few jobs don't you think? We have millions out of work and a fence that has not been built. The solution sounds easy to me. In the Presidents speech the other day he said: "There are those who argue that we should not move forward with any other elements of reform until we have fully sealed our borders," he said. "Our borders are just too vast for us to be able to solve the problem only with fences and border patrols. It won't work."
So what the the President is telling us is; that the American people cannot build a fence because it is "just to big" so we shouldn't try. Mr. President how about this list of things that were "to big" for Americans to do:
1) Separate from the largest most powerful country in the world and become an independent nation.
2) Defeat the most powerful nation in the world for a second time within 40 years (War of 1812).
3) Build a transcontinental railroad.
4) Traverse and settle all the land west of the Appalachia mountains.
5) Reunite a nation at odds with it's self and while doing that, abolish slavery.
6) Build the Panama Canal.
7) Become an industrial giant throughout the world.
8) Defeat the Germans in a major world war.
9) Defeat the Germans (again) and the Japanese in another World War.
10) Build the Tennessee Valley Authority.
11) Build great works like: Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Golden Gate Bridge, Hoover Dam, World Trade Center.
12) Build an assembly line process that revolutionized the world of production.
13) Went to the moon in less than 10 years after goal was set.
14 ) Built and maintained an Interstate Highway System.
15) Landed a vehicle on Mars and explored.
16) Created the most powerful military in the world and freed many countries from oppression.
17) Built and maintained the greatest economy in the world.
18) Discovered electricity and created an electrical grid.
19) Invented telephone and created telephone system.
20) Invented Internet. (Just ask Al Gore)
21) Invented barbed wire.
This is only 21 events of hundreds more. Mr. President I think we are more than qualified to build a damn fence!
"So what the the President is telling us is; that the American people cannot build a fence because it is "just to big" so we shouldn't try."
ReplyDeleteSadly, this exemplifies the way too many Americans seem to think. Obviously, B.O. is taking us in numerous wrong directions but is he, alone, the problem? Absolutely not; he didn't put himself in office! B.O., while he works on the socialist agenda that his handlers sent him to do, symbolizes a society in decline. I can't imagine, exactly, where we would be now if he or his ilk would have been in any position of authority when the achievements, as enumerated in today's post, were made but it wouldn't be a good place. I do know that his ubiquitous, inane speeches and empty rhetoric take us nowhere except maybe further down. There is , perhaps, one possible redeeming outcome to this Administration (think regime) in that it is so untoward and destructive that it will finally awaken the population and form a tipping point to the extent that actual thought will be given to choices at the ballot box and that ethereal, undefined, promises such as "Hope And Change" will be correctly recognized as nothing more than pipe dreams! The forthcoming elections may well be our last chance to begin to reverse a very dangerous trend and to commence restoration of our Country to the greatness that we have known. I guess that we will find out come November.
