What We Are NOT Doing To Protect Our Nation

The United States government has, for all intents and purposes, left our southern border (primarily) unprotected, and our northern border nominally protected. Inasmuch as the southern border is where the vast majority of illegal immigrants sneak into the USA, to continue the practice of basically just recycling illegals is not only asinine - it borders upon criminal.
The primary function of the government is to protect the citizens of our nation and our national sovereignty, yet we fail to secure our borders in a satisfactory manner. This failure endangers both our sovereignty and our safety! The Federal government has failed to complete the border fence that was authorized by Congress several years ago.
There are numerous "safe haven" cities where illegals are ignored by law enforcement agencies, which creates an air of de facto acceptance and basically allows them to live in those communities with immunity. The government rewards their breaking and entering into our country with free medical care and welfare payments. An Arizona rancher was recently murdered by an illegal alien.

The Governors of two states - Texas and New Mexico - have taken appropriate action, ordering their respective National Guard units to assist the U.S. Border Patrol and local law enforcement in patrolling and securing their portions of our southern border. Why haven't Arizona, Louisiana and California done the same?

I'm beginning to believe that I.C.E. (Immigration Control and Enforcement), an agency under the Department of Homeland Security, thinks illegal aliens should be treated like some species of fish - catch and release - only to have them return again and again!

GET THE FENCE BUILT, PROVIDE NO AMNESTY OR SERVICES FOR INVADERS, AND USE THE NATIONAL GUARD TO ACTUALLY DO WHAT THEIR NAME IMPLIES - GUARD THE NATION!

I could be wrong about this... and Congress could listen to the voices of the people. Neither one is likely...

"Obama Sees Signs of Economic Progress" (Reuters)

And, what would we expect him to say? "I see the entire country going down the tubes, and I haven't the slightest idea what to do about it?" Perhaps, but that would require him telling the truth - an act with which he is entirely unfamiliar.

In Chapter 1 of 'Acting Presidential for Dummies' it plainly states, "Never let the people see you sweat. Especially if you are The Messiah... The One! Put on those rose-colored glasses, and view the world not as it actually is, but as you think it should be! Thy serfs will change it for You!"

An AP headline shouts"Obama Has Hundreds of Important Jobs Still Open". Could Obama have run out of tax-dodging incompetents - but loyal supporters - to reward with political plums already? Limiting ones acquaintances to politicians, terrorists, tax dodgers and white-collar criminals certainly can leave one at a loss when it comes to filling important cabinet-level and directorship positions. The Freedonian Government (Duck Soup, Marx Bros, 1933) administered by President Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho Marx) was better organized and more capable!

I could be wrong about this... show me!
