President Barack Obama’s administration has been regularly criticized over security issues related the the United States border with Mexico.
So it’s no surprise that Department of Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ statement that “the border is more secure now than it has been in many, many years,” has left many of the Obama administration’s opponents up-in-arms.
In fact, some critics are saying it’s a blatant lie. As an example, they cite that The State Department has known for years that Mexican drug cartels have profited from smuggling Islamic terrorists into the United States.
According to Judicial Watch report in January, “For more than a decade the U.S. government has known that ‘Arab extremists’ are entering the country through Mexico with the assistance of smuggling network ‘cells,’ according to State Department documents obtained by Judicial Watch that reveal among them was a top Al Qaeda operative wanted by the FBI.”
The Border Patrol has long complained that the Obama administration’s tactics have worsened the situation. On Monday, The Horn News reported that the president of the National Border Patrol Council, Brandon Judd, said Obama’s policy have created “an open border with Mexico.”
“Though the situation has only worsened, the administration continues to repeat the same lies even though a number of reports have confirmed that Islamic terrorists have entered the U.S. through the famously porous southern border and tens of thousands of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) keep crossing in without ever encountering federal agents before touching American soil,” political watchdog Judicial Watch responded to Mayorkas’ remarks.
Speaking about border security, Mayorkas also apparently attempted to justify the porous border that allows thousands of illegal immigrants to easily sneak into the country by saing the United States is a “welcoming, embracing nation that does not operate in isolation.”
Welcoming and embracing, yes — when it comes to legal immigrants, there is no one more welcoming than Americans.
But concerned citizens are not welcoming of known criminals, drug smugglers, and Islamic terrorists hell bent on sneaking onto U.S. soil.

I think this is a travesty and Obama will go down in history as the worse president. It’s very obvious that he is a warped individual and hates the United States. He has put us all in danger bringing in all these illegals. They are all on welfare and food stamps Housing and free health care and has made the rest of us pay for this, plus putting us all in danger. All while he and his family are paid for and protected. He is a disgrace. He should be in jail.

He is what he is. My biggest concern is the type of nation we have become that elected him. 47% on some sort of welfare program. Folks staring into smart phones lacking basic social skills. College grads with skills that wouldn’t get them out of the 6th grade 40 years ago.
Eljay says
Exactly. Additionally, 45% of college graduates are working at jobs that do not require a degree. So, let’s send everyone to college for free. Are you kidding me? Seriously. Given the level of indoctrination in today’s society, it is no small wonder that this president has never been held accountable. Immigration is only one of the many tools this administration is using to bring down The Republic.

I saw right thru that empty suit. All my blue collar buddies drank the Kool-Aid the first time, and came back for another drink. With TPP looming large just around the corner ,and just crying that it will steal more jobs, Hillary is their choice! WTF..,I give up. Vote TR**P now!!!
Arthur Hartsock says
Unfortunately, the illegal alien problem has been caused by both parties. If Donald can keep this one promise (build the wall), then I’m probably willing to give him a chance. We’ve already seen what isn’t working.
sick of the lies says
This is why we need to get Trump in office. The government as we know it is filed with deception . We need that wall, but you have so many cry babies,that will say Trump hurts everyone’s feelings . He is in it for the glory , to be known as the first one to fix our country . Everyone else is in it for the greed, look where we are. And they want to put someone who is just like the other ones in . If we don’t wake up we will have no rights anymore . Look how they are screwing Trump. He has millions of more votes then the others but the politicians are fixing it so they get who they want ,not what the people want. Now you can say, good I don’t want him in anyway . But the thing is your vote did not count. And this is only a start . If they get away with it this time they will do again and again . So even if you don’t want Trump in you should not let this happen . This will be the end of voting . I hate being an American anymore . I will never be one of those idiots that try to harm another . But I will always be ashamed to say I’m an American . And once I get a chance to move to another country , i will but on the other hand I love America so much. I am so confused this government is so dirty and filed with scum. We the people are done for . Please vote for Trump just to stop what is taking place if for nothing else
