Obama: "We don't Need No Stinking Border Security Laws"

Faithfully executing the laws is for little people.

The fact that the Obama administration does not give a shit about border security, but it does like to squander money with glorious abandon is seen in three vignettes.

The first is their plan to spend seven millions of dollars upsizing and aggrandizing a Canadian border crossing, located in the middle of a Vermont farm, that accommodates 2 ½ cars per hour. They are so determined to do this that they have threatened to condemn roughly five acres of a dairy farm because the family that owns the farm does not want to sell. Claiming that this must be done for urgent national security reasons,

"Our airports, seaports, and land ports of entry are all part of an interconnected security network to facilitate entry and exit to and from our country," the agency said in a statement Tuesday. "When we fail to fortify one, we weaken the entire system, putting our national security at risk."

Meanwhile, in another part of the country, people in remote parts of the Southwest lie awake at night listening to the sounds of Illegal aliens crossing their land.

Says Mark Steyn:

They lie awake at night frightened for their children and listening for footsteps in the yard. In effect, the sovereignty of the United States of America no longer applies in this territory - and John Morton and the Department of Homeland Security are entirely cool with that.

A top Department of Homeland Security official reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.

John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, made the comment during a meeting on Wednesday with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, the newspaper reports.

"I don't think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution," Morton told the newspaper.

When I read that, I had a flashback to a time many decades ago: resistance to desegregation following the Supreme Court Brown vs. Board of Education desegregation decision had Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus deploying the Arkansas National Guard to prevent the law from being implemented. President Eisenhower sent in the 101th Airborne, nationalized the Guard and the black students were enrolled.

Today we seem to have another racist as president. And he’s deploying his troops like Orval Faubus did, to block the law of the land. As we get old enough, we see history repeating itself and we shake our heads.

What has been will be again,

what has been done will be done again;

there is nothing new under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 1:9

The final vignette is this picture of the Obamas partying with the President of Mexico whose people are fleeing his poor, corrupt and dangerous country; a country that is fast becoming a failed state. Does it bring to your mind, as it did in mine the Masque of the Red Death?

 Brack Obama as Prince Prospero partying while his subjects live in fear and die.
