Is Dirty Harry (G)Reid "off his meds," about the border crisis, as Charles Krauthammer speculated last night on Fox News, or is he simply faithfully reciting "Obamunist reality"?
RINO Congressman Peter King's only concern about it is that it will eliminate any tiny remaining chances to ram through "comprehensive immigration reform" - and I thought there weren't any:
Meaningful immigration legislation won't happen unless the Senate has a Democratic leader "who's not living in his own alternate universe" like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who claimed this week the nation's southern border is secure, New York-2 Republican Representative Peter King said Wednesday on Newsmax TV.
"First of all, the border is broken," King, a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, told "America's Forum" host J.D. Hayworth. "I mean, just common sense, if young kids are able to get across the border, we can imagine the drug dealers can come across the border, we have to be concerned about terrorists that would come across the border."
The plaintive cry of the RINO collaborationist that is perfectly willing to give Barack Obama everything he wants in a CIR bill but wants in return at least some measure of political cover before he betrays his own base on such a third-rail issue.
Don't believe me? Here's what King said next:
King admitted there are no easy answers to the immigration situation, but "in an issue like this, you need people with good faith and good intelligence to come together."
When someone like Reid denies there is a problem, it makes it impossible to get any legislation through the Democrat-controlled senate.
"Either he's denying reality or he's just intentionally denying the truth," King said. "In any event, it makes it very, very difficult to even think of getting anything done."
Ah, yes, "getting things done". That's what Peter King thinks his job is - to "get things done". Never mind if they're the right things; never mind if they're constitutional. There is a Democrat president and a Democrat Senate (and don't think I didn't notice how pre-emptively King conceded that) to be gone along with to get along with. To "get things done".
Here's what Peter King doesn't, or doesn't want to, get: Barack Obama doesn't need you anymore. See what's happening at the border? See what's been found at the border? See what's being shipped around the country? See what's washing ashore on the banks of the Rio Grande? See the master plan already put into motion? Welcome to amnesty, Congressman. This is what it looks like. No Border Patrol. Who knows how many dead migrant children. Gang-bangers, drug traffickers, and jihadists pouring across the border unopposed. Multiple epidemics, even pandemics, of imported diseases. Exploding welfare costs. Exploding crime rates. Exploding Democrat voter rolls. And a lawless left-wing dictator presiding over it all, his eyes closed, his nose in the air, Mussolini-like, nodding as his plan of "fundamental transformation" comes to fruition.
Sure, Harry (G)Reid belongs in a dementia ward. But Dirty Harry isn't the problem. Duped Central American teenagers are not the problem. Even Peter King isn't the problem. Barack Obama is. And if there's anything that can be done about it that can actually be made to stick against President Pen & Phone, I don't know what it is.
And if I don't know that, you can be damn sure Peter King doesn't, either.
Exit thought: Murrieta, California, has become "the one that got away" for the White House. It set a hugely inconvenient precedent for O: Local citizens successfully defying his royal decree and stopping his intended use of their city as an illegal dumping ground/hazmat site, largely because local law enforcement refused to serve as honorary federal storm troopers. The Regime will learn from that, and the next town that takes such a patriotic stand will either have their cops "turned," or in will come federal troops. All of which is to say that wannabe protesters should count the cost of the stand they take; it might mean martyrdom.
