We Closed Everything During the Gov't Shutdown, But We Can't Close the Border?

Per el Rushbo

quote:

But do you remember, during the sequester Obama was able to close down the Washington National Mall. He was able to stop veterans ceremonies. He was able to shut down the Blue Ridge Parkway. He was even able to shut down the Grand Canyon, visits to the Grand Canyon.

He was able to shut down visits to Jellystone National Park. While the World War II Memorial was shut down, he allowed I think it was an anti-Israel or pro-immigration rally or some such thing to go on at that place when he was preventing World War II vets from making perhaps their once in a lifetime visit to the memorial, things they had saved money for, planned for, and he used the sequester as the excuse for shutting things down, randomly selecting things to shut down, yet he tells us that he can't close the border.

el Rushbo is, of course, just stirring up shite.

Closing a national border requires federal government employees to do a hell of a lot of work.

Closing the government means telling those same federal workers to go home and watch TV.

I'll let you guess which of the two is easier.

While I agree, that isn't completely true... The Fed actually staffed the memorials with security during the shutdown, but when they are open, they don't have the same security. It was quite amusing.

How many would build a fence to keep out intruders forty miles from their line fence.

Senator Corker in Tennessee campaigned against Obamacare and for closing the border.

Recently he proposed a gasoline tax increase for road repairs. Four billion would improve a lot of roads. Lets see how he votes on Obamas four billion grat to illegaos and Trial Lawyers.

Obama was meeting with rich Trial Lawyers at his fund raiser in Texas. Coincidence, part of that four billion will be for lawers to represent the illegals.

As ineffective as you may think a sign is, what happened to US citizens who crossed those signs? How many US Citizens even thought about crossing them out of fear of penalty?

No fear of penalty allows the illegals to cross at will.
