Why, because I called him the "bomb diggity?" Get a life.

Why are you proud of him? What has he done to make you proud? Name something.

Perhaps, perhaps not. It's not the first I've used the word, nor will it be the last. Are you trying to insinuate I'm somehow racist because I used that phrase? Please. You're going to have to try harder than that.

I'll repost.

Why is there a gag order on the Border Patrol agents now? What's the obama admin afraid they'll say? Why are journalists being threatened with arrest for covering this? Why are Congressmen being denied access to walk through these holding centers? Why won't they allow news reporters access?

Now, you won't find any coincidence in this, because of your love and pride of all things obama; however, obama and some of his staff, including Jeh Johnson (DHS Secy), met with immigration activists in the White House on Friday, March 14th. Suddenly at the end of May we have a "crisis" at the border.

This afternoon the President, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson, and senior White House officials met with organizations committed to passing bipartisan commonsense immigration reform. The leaders of these organizations shared their concerns for the families facing the separation that comes from our broken immigration system. The President reiterated the deep concern he has for the pain these families face and that he has asked Secretary Johnson to do an inventory of the Department’s current practices to see how it can conduct enforcement more humanely within the confines of the law. Secretary Johnson reemphasized his shared commitment to ensure our immigration laws are enforced effectively, sensibly, and in line with our nation’s traditions as a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. The President reiterated his commitment to maintaining consistent and sustained pressure on Congressional Republicans to take action on immigration reform as soon as possible. The President continues to believe that the only permanent solution to fixing the broken immigration system is through meaningful comprehensive legislation.

List of Participants:

•Jeh Johnson, Secretary of Homeland Security

Now, are you really so attached to obama's posterior that you aren't able to see that the meeting of 14-March is related to the invasion of our borders in the latter part of May? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that there was an effort in the obama administration to put pressure on the GOP to capitulate to his demands and pass amnesty in the next 15 days before they go home in August.

Look, it's a brilliant idea. Put out the word through leftist groups like La Raza and PICO and the other to get a massive number of kids -- not adults -- to flood the border. He's hoping to force Congress' hand, and make them pass amnesty and more open borders.

There's a reason DHS and Jeh Johnson is involved in this, beyond it being a homeland security issue. DHS is the entity bussing and housing these kids and other people. Normally it's the Border Patrol which is tasked with this responsibility.

Again, please answer the questions I posed above: Why is there a gag order on the Border Patrol? Why have US Congressmen been prohibited from visiting these holding centers? Why were hospital staff threatened with arrest if they devulged the massive number of immigrants with diseases? Why aren't news reporters allowed to photo or tour these facilities or interview these immigrants?
