| Has our future already been determined by these two? |
Last month, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Alan Bersin, told a group at the Migration Policy Institute in Washington D.C., that back in May, President Barack Obama and Mexican President Felipe Calderon met and “articulated the vision for this new era–the creation of a 21st Century border, one that enhances our security and mutual economic competitiveness in an increasingly globalized world.”
Bersin went on to tell the crowd this “vision” would mean a “road to citizenship” for illegal aliens and to allow Mexicans to work legally in the United States and to establish “a legitimate labor market between the United States and Mexico.”
At no time did Bersin ever mention any limits on the number of Mexican nationals who would be allowed to work in this country, nor did he stress the need for any measure of actual enforcement in regards to the border, though his taxpayer-funded job description calls for him to enforce immigration laws and defend our borders.
Four days after the most revealing speech at the Migration Policy Institute, the CBP began back-pedaling, with an agency spokesman telling the website CNSNews.com that what Bersin simply misspoke and he really meant to explain the importance of “having a temporary worker program that is conducive to our labor needs.”
Of course, given the Obama administration’s dismal record thus far on immigration enforcement, and the fact that Bersin is a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard as well a Rhodes Scholarship recipient, the claim that Bersin meant anything other than what he told the open borders crowd...is more than a little insulting.
Apparently, Obama and Calderon have already decided that despite the fact that one in five Americans is unemployed, not to mention that Mexico has devolved into a narco-terror state because of the very powerful drug cartels—the border will never be closed to Mexican workers taking jobs away from American citizens, nor to drug smugglers and cartel hit squads.
The lack of coverage given to Obama’s “creation of a 21st Century border” with Mexico is yet more proof that the American press is as illegitimate and thoroughly irrelevant as is current U.S. immigration enforcement.
