Interesting interview re: the border crisis

KEEL radio news interviewed Sam Giordano, director of the La. State Fair. He said that the US Assoc of State Fairs (of which he is a member) was contacted by Homeland Security asking if they had facilities to house a massive influx of Latin American children in the event that they cross the border into the US.
The request by Homeland Security was 60 days ago! Long before the invasion started. Sounds like the White House orchestrated this. KEEL radio forwarded the info to Congressman Flemming today and he's pushing for an investigation.

Thanks Capt. Obvious!
Seriously, ANYONE could see this was orchestrated. Well, anyone except the sheeple.

But the WH has repeatedly said they were completely taken by surprise.

I'm sure I'll get crushed for this, but I don't think it was some kind of WH orchestrated conspiracy. I think the enforcement of our immigration policy invited this, and it's not hard to see tens of thousands of children moving through the Mexican countryside and put two and two together, and start planning for it.
The failure was to not go public with it. put it on the news, etc.

Is there any evidence that it wasn't orchestrated? Its been SOP for this administration to tell the oposite of the truth.
Moving that many children of all ages is a massive operation.
The only merit to your statement is that its difficutl to believe this administration could carry out the logistics of an operation.

I really can't stand our government more than most of you here, and that includes our dipshit inept president, but there's no logic where you went. as a community we should be better than that, it doesn't matter that they aren't.
That was bad, and you should feel bad.

If children crossing the border is something to be expected then why didn't Obama start preparing for it 4 years ago. Why did he start moving on it 1 month before the damn broke if he didn't know when the damn was going to break?

It's not something "to be expected" but I don't think it is unrealistic that two or three months ahead of time they discovered the exodus heading this way.
It was a failure of his leadership to not have shored up our immigration issues 4 years ago, and it was a failure of his leadership to not do something more credible about this immediate issue months ago. I refuse to give him credit for being able to orchestrate something on this scale and have it completely covered up.
We have tons of evidence of the other scandals with Benghazi and the IRS to name two, but the gov refuses to recognize it.
There just isn't evidence of this yet. and I will not fall into the whole "well there isn't evidence against it" argument because of how hackish it is. Liberals do that, not able minded people.

Influx only started less than 60 days ago? Hasn't this been going on for several months? Here's an article from June 4th and it appears that the problem has been most of the year. LINKPosted on 7/23/14 at 11:03 am to mmcgrath
Read the article...20K all of last year. We got 20K in one week. The numbers sited in your link are tiny compared to the flood that started 4 weeks ago.

There has been a massive increase in the number of children and adolescents making the dangerous desert trek alone, without family, officials say, sparking what President Obama deemed an "urgent humanitarian crisis," during a speech Monday.
That isn't "long before" any crisis.

The whole idea that Obama is at fault for the border crisis or that this is some white house conspiracy is what we should be crying over.

These are contradictory statements. It ls the administration that's responsible for the lack of enforcement of the border. Both Holder, Obama and others in the administration have openly stated they would refuse to enforce the standing laws envolving illegal immigration. More than one person colluding to do something is the definition of conspiring.
