The War Next Door. I Wish!

One thing we’ve learned so far is that Obama is calling the shots on just about everything even when he doesn’t know much if anything about the matter in hand.

Border security is one such topic and he ought to be able leave that to the current Secretary of Homeland Security, or should he? Maybe he daren’t. If anyone ought to know better it is that lady but a couple of days ago she issued a directive that one of the agencies under her control, namely Immigration, should cease its efforts to enter suspected businesses in an effort to apprehend and subsequently deport illegal aliens. Why should she know better? Because the said Secretary is Janet Napolitano, the ex-Governor of the Great State of Arizona. Instead, she has decreed that she’ll go after those employers who hire these people and that would be a laudable goal too except for one thing. When she was the Governor she did everything she could to avoid either measure.

Even Obama the Oblivious cannot ignore the obvious however much as he’d like to because there is a war going on south of the border and it isn’t just restricted to Nogales and Tijuana. It’s right here in the Valley of the Sun. The drug gangs are here, the people-smuggling is here, kidnapping for ransom is here and all of it is directly linked to the fact of illegal immigration.

Fortunately, we have Sheriff Joe Arpaio here in Maricopa County who is determined to enforce the law and always resisted Napolitano’s efforts to restrict his effort and has already said he will continue so to do.

For the first time ever my Glock 23 is loaded and it would be readily to hand if I needed it but for obvious reasons I’m not going to say where. I do hope that I’ll never need it but it does seem that I and this Blog are rocking some boats. No specific threats yet but that may only be a matter of time.

On the one hand, it’s preferable to Alzheimer’s but, on the other, blood is a bitch to get out of the carpet not that it would be my problem.

Of late, Obama has been forced to dispatch military reinforcements to our southern border but their orders are such that their actions will be constrained to the point that the drug cartels will simply laugh. And, as we said the problem is not just on the border or south of it. It’s here but the Obama administration seemingly refuses to address it. Oh, and by the way, it’s all our fault according to Hillary Clinton. Why am I not surprised?
