Trouble at the Border


Yesterday in Houston Bernadette Lancelin began to question what was going on in her neighborhood.  The Dept. of Homeland Security and the Border Patrol were looking at a closed local school as a possible site for housing some of the tens of thousands of immigrant children who are flooding our southern border.  Lancelin raises a very valid question.  Why it is that we are spending millions of tax payer dollars to feed cloth, house and provide health care for these young people while our own citizens are going  without jobs, without health care that works and a public debt in the trillions?

While Lancelin is asking for answers, Obama is asking for money.  He wants Congress to authorize $3.7 billion dollars to be used to build infrastructure to care for these young people. He wants it  immediately with little discussion or thought as to whether it should be spent or how.  Meanwhile, millions of Americans want to know why the border has not been secured, why the fence has not been built and why the Border Patrol is stationed 45 miles from the border?  

We need action Mr. President. You need to close the border,  Period.
