Obama's AZ border claims false, say three … Democrats?

Breaking ranks to protect their own hides come Nov?

Anticipating a furor of voter criticism over the July Fourth recess, Democratic lawmakers from the border region shot back at the White House last week, challenging the president’s speech on immigration in which he said that the southern border is secure.

Arizona Democratic Reps. Ann Kirkpatrick, Harry Mitchell and Gabrielle Giffords joined a growing Republican chorus in denouncing President Barack Obama for not pushing for more specific action in his Thursday speech on the nation’s immigration and border security issues.

Obama said that the U.S.-Mexico border is more secure today than at any time in the past 20 years. But the three Arizona Democrats disagreed.

“The crisis on America’s borders won’t be addressed with words,” said Giffords. “I was disappointed to hear the president give short shrift to border security concerns by saying that our nation’s southern border is more secure today than at any time in the past 20 years.

“That is not a sign of progress, it is a statement on the poor job we have done in securing the border for the past two decades.”

I'm sure what Obama said is quite true- especially when put in context with what Rep. Giffords said.... Except I'd go further than 2 decades...Even after the last Amnesty signed by Reagan- it wasn't secured-- nor was the law making it a criminal act to hire an illegal ever enforced....

I believe you'd have to go back to Ike and "Operation Wetback" to see when the border security and deportation of illegals really was an administration policy...

“The crisis on America’s borders won’t be addressed with words,” said Giffords. “I was disappointed to hear the president give short shrift to border security concerns by saying that our nation’s southern border is more secure today than at any time in the past 20 years.

Keeping the status quo is estimated to raise the US population by 167 million by the year 2060. I wonder what the costs will be by then?

I would like to invite obamma to come and see the destruction that the illegals have caused on some of my, and my neighbor's property, leaving behind trash, feces, etc etc, even killing a fine rancher sw of me, then tell me that we are more secure than we were 20 yrs ago!
15 yrs ago
10 yrs ago
5 yrs ago.
even 3 yrs ago we could check our properties singularly now we check in groups and all pack weapons.

AS much as I dislike Giffords she is spot on with this statement :mad: :mad: :mad:
