Since we're already in the realm of penguin dreams and stranger things, why the hell not? After all, I love a good fantasy. More on that later.
In the mean time, it will come as no surprise to you that, in the words of Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), Barack Obama's "requested" $3.7 billion amnesty subsidy "doesn't add up":
Barack Obama is asking Congress to provide $3.7 billion to address the crisis at the border — but Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson says it's a proposal he can't support.
Heartless bastard.
"I can't see how I can support this thing," Johnson told J.D. Hayworth on "America's Forum" on Newsmax TV on Wednesday. "Just look at the numbers."
Sorry, heartless, greedy bastard. And, of course, racist.
But he does have a point:
"If you take $3.7 billion and divide it by 52,000 children, that's $71,000 per person," he explained.
"I've gone online and have taken a look on Orbitz and taken a look at what does it cost to fly people to El Salvador and Guatemala and Honduras," Johnson, a Republican, said. "You have fares as low as $207. There's nonstop flights at $450."
"You take those numbers and it costs somewhere between $11 million and $30 million to return people in a very humane fashion," Johnson said.
"We can put them up in a hotel room and make sure they get a shower and feed them," he added.
Johnson said this would be "a far easier way of handling" the situation, and it would also "send the signal to the folks in Central America that you can't come into America and expect to stay."
According to Johnson, "the best way to secure the border is to eliminate the incentives for illegal immigration," which is the opposite of what President Barack Obama has done.
Connect those two dots and you've figured out the game. And here's a hint: it has nothing to do with "incompetence" or "failed leadership" or "in over his head" or any of the other bumpkinesque descriptions of The One's mental acuity.
Just take a gander at O's shopping list:
$1.1 billion more for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency, including $879 million to pay for detention and removal of undocumented adults traveling with children;
Will be redirected once appropriated.
$116 million to ICE for transportation costs linked to apprehending unaccompanied children;
$433 million for Homeland Security's Border Patrol unit to cover increased costs associated with apprehending unaccompanied children;
Apprehending? Illegals are hunting Border Patrol agents to turn themselves in because they know they'll never be deported.
$39.4 million to bolster air surveillance capabilities to detect illegal activity;
Will be redirected once appropriated.
$64 million more for the [Commissariat] of [Inj]ustice[& Revenge], including $45.4 million to hire about 40 more immigration judge teams and to expand courtroom capacity;
$15 million to fund legal representation services for children in immigration proceedings;
To streamline the amnesty process.
$1.8 billion for the [Commissariat] of Health and Human Services to provide additional funding for appropriate care, including medical attention, for unaccompanied children at Border Patrol facilities;
Once the conservative population has been significantly culled. Also, the heart of O's Cloward-Piven amnesty strategy, putting the GOP in the position of "denying medical care to poor children" because they "want them to die". Because, you know, racism.
$300 million for the [Commissariat] of State, $295 million of which would go to repatriate migrants to their home countries and reintegrate them there;
Will be redirected once appropriated.
$5 million would fund media campaigns in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras to spread the word that unaccompanied children crossing into the United States will be returned to their home countries.
Will be redirected to media campaigns spreading the word the unaccompanied children crossing into the United States will be immediately registered with the Democrat Party so they may show their gratitude to their "benefactors".
Johnson says that if the United States does not "send the signal that this is unacceptable ... more people are going to come."
Precisely.
In essence, to give O his four bil is to implicitly endorse his executive amnesty decree. "Comprehensive immigration reform," indeed.
If only we had the power - not the constitutional authority, mind you, but the actual power - to stop all of this. Because if we did, Michael Hayden would have a dilly of an idea:
General Michael Hayden, former director of the National Security Agency and CIA, said the constant flow of illegal immigrants should be treated like an insurgency.
"It's not an insurgency. I mean an insurgency has a political aim to overthrow the government," Hayden said on Newsmax TV's "America's Forum." "This is a criminal enterprise that's so big and so powerful that as a byproduct, it actually threatens the government."
"The way you go after an insurgency is number one, decapitate it, number two, deny it safe haven, and number three, change the facts on the ground that create the insurgency," he said. [emphasis added]
Actually, you could make the case that this is a literal insurgency, the distinguishing characteristic of which is that the head of the government in question is its leader. In which case, we failed to carry out #1 twenty months ago, and, accordingly, we're too late for #2 and #3.
Barack Obama knows all of this very well. And say this for the man: he knows how to celebrate it:
Despite repeated calls to visit the U.S.-Mexico border to witness the impact of thousands of Central American children illegally crossing into the country, President Barack Obama will attend fundraisers with pro-immigration [extrem]ists, Breitbart reported.
Obama is scheduled to attend an event on Wednesday with actors Rosario Dawson, Danny Trejo and Jessica Alba. In addition, the president will visit the home of Austin-based filmmaker Robert Rodriguez for an event to which tickets are going for as much as $32,400, according to Breitbart.
Rodriguez, whose resume includes the "Machete" franchise, has released a trailer for a movie in which Arizona's illegal immigration laws are openly mocked.
The end zone celebrations never end with this guy, do they?
I'll tell you what, gentles: For a man whose presidency is supposedly "imploding," he's certainly acting like he's winning going away. Only question is, is it he that is delusional, or the rest of us?
