Understanding The "Border Crisis" Is To Understand Obama

From Erik Rush:

“There is a deportation proceeding that is commenced against illegal migrants, including children. We are looking at ways to create additional options for dealing with the children in particular, consistent with our laws and our values.”

– DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” July 6, 2014

I was a tad puzzled with the exchange between DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson and David Gregory on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. While it’s true that Johnson’s monumental degree of equivocation with regard to whether the illegal alien children from Central America would or would not be deported was indicative of the Obama administration’s intention to keep as many of them in the U.S. as possible, the fact that he equivocated at all was, to me, noteworthy.

Let me explain. The tsunami of illegal alien children from Central America, their plight and the protestation of Americans fed up with the corrupt policies of the federal government with regard to illegal immigration is currently dominating the news cycle, and with good reason. It is evident that the Obama administration orchestrated this crisis in the mode of the Cloward-Piven Strategy of Orchestrated Crisis. It is a matter of public record that as early as January of this year, the administration was soliciting for private contractors to aid in the transport of these children – so they knew these kids were coming.

Recently, columnist and researcher Terresa Monroe-Hamilton revealed the involvement of Southwest Key Programs in the patchwork of activist organizations involved in this invasion. According to Monroe-Hamilton, this nonprofit organization (largely funded by government and state grants) “is the pipeline for the children into U.S. refugee camps and homes across the nation. Their specialty is reunifying illegal minors with their families. They are the underground railroad for the American invasion from the South. They are nationalistic in their connections and leadership. … [D]on’t be fooled by the charitable facade. This is a radical breeding ground. They are militant, Latino community organizers.”

Southwest Key also maintains close ties with the Marxist-leaning National Council of La Raza, which puts Southwest Key Programs at one degree of separation away from billionaire financier, Nazi collaborator, Obama crony and currency collapser extraordinaire, George Soros.

Thus, it only makes sense that deporting these unfortunate (and, for the record, horribly exploited) children would be, for the administration, quite self-defeating.

So, given what is obviously a well-established White House plan to inundate the U.S. with these children (as opposed to something the president learned about on the news), I would have expected Jeh Johnson to do what all of the president’s men (and women) have done in such instances when journalists ask sensitive questions – and that is, to lie, and then proceed as planned.

But Johnson didn’t do that; he hemmed and hawed and even repeated the canned quote (at the top of this article) once again before signing off with Gregory.

So what gives? I wondered. Why didn’t Johnson – like Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder, John Kerry, Susan Rice and so many others – simply lie?

Well, it could be that Johnson has a conscience, or he’s become uncomfortable with what he’s being asked to do (he wouldn’t be the first), or that he’s among one of the very few people who find themselves working for someone who winds up being something quite different from that which was originally represented – and it scares him.

Johnson also wouldn’t be the first prominent liberal to express discomfort (intentionally or otherwise) with the situation involving the illegal immigrant children. Let’s not forget that it was David Gregory’s pointed questions that led to Johnson’s discomfort in the first place. While much of the establishment press continues to softball the White House on this issue, some journalists are asking real questions of our public servants – and occasionally, getting real answers.

Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, has been in the news quite a bit since the illegal alien minor crisis came to the fore. His district is comprised of several counties, with two on the border with Mexico. He hasn’t been stumping for a blanket amnesty for these kids, however; he’s been advocating for border security and the repatriation of the minor migrants. 

In a recent interview with CNN, he admitted that the Obama administration had incentivized this surge in illegal immigration, and said “they can stop it.”

However odd it may seem that a Democratic congressman isn’t summarily acting as a rubber stamp for the administration’s boilerplate Steve Urkel talking points, we’re likely to see more of this from Democratic politicians, who see the possibility that their constituents – Latino and otherwise – may turn against them in a big way if they fail to address the grave practical aspects of this crisis. Like the residents of Murietta, California, who took decisive action against the federal government’s attempted immigrant dump in their community, border-state residents are now feeling the real consequences of the administration’s actions.

But even the discomfort of Democratic lawmakers is of no moment to President Obama, who evidently believes that his end game – whatever that is – will be allowed to play out with little interference from the press, Congress, or anyone else.

The elephant in the room that must be addressed, since we now have everyone from regular Americans to Republican and Democratic lawmakers and governors decrying the administration’s deportment on this issue, is why – and there are two reasons for this. The first is that knowing why is the only way any of this will make sense. The second is that knowing why will shed light on the motives behind damn near every action and policy of this administration.

When Americans know that the minor migrant crisis was orchestrated by the administration to foment chaos and overwhelm federal border control authorities (thereby nullifying their function in maintaining border security and every frightening possibility this entails), they will be more receptive to the revelation that this president is operating from a playbook that includes the wholesale dissolution of the United States as a sovereign nation and constitutional republic.

And understanding what that means is the only thing that will rally Americans against this criminal administration and the forces, in and out of government, that have facilitated its crimes.
