Border Emergency! Yes its real.

There is an incredible emergency at our border!  Our border patrol  is being overwhelmed by desperate families are crossing over the border to find us officials to turn themselves in.  While they are hoping to be accepted as refugees, most will not be…

Most are coming from Central America, so they had to first cross the southern border of Mexico, then travel and additional couple thousand miles.  I know this is shocking but these refugees aren’t likely aware of or considering the specifics of our immigration policies.  They simply see the dangers of travel and the uncertainly of migrating as being the best choice for their children.  

So yes we need to do something about this, but rather than spending billions on the border perhaps pending millions working with Mexico and Canada to create refugee centers in southern Mexico would be a more effective way to handle the emergency…

These centers would be allow refugees to find out if they qualify for status in the US and/or Canada before spending their resources traveling across Mexico.  And the centers would be a place for other NGOs to find refugees possibly giving them more options.  This would reduce the border crossings and yield a better result for the refugees.   Oh and it would mean we wouldn’t have to spend as much, or rather i should say borrow a much money…  But hey our kids and grandkids can pay those bills!

Breakdown US Senate Integrity : Vote your conscious not your party!

It is amazing how out of touch our Senators are right now.  They have a relatively simple job, they have to look at and review what they know of Brett Kavanaugh and decide if they think he should be a supreme court justice.  This is a political appointment so of course the two parties are playing politics.  But at the end of the day they need to each individually decide if this person is the right person to be on the court.  It is not about handing on party or the other a loss or victory…

I of course have opinions, I’m a political madman its what I do…

I reviewed the transcripts of the testimony and caught some on the radio, some on you tube.  And I have to admit my American heart was crushed by listening to a sitting American Federal Judge lie under oath to Senators.  And over the stupidest crap, just to avoid “embarrassment” of being a crass and drunken high school kid.  And he did it to color and avoid the obvious problem that given teenage antics with alcohol he probably cannot account for all his actions.  So he lied to avoid consequences.  It reminds me of when Bill Clinton was being interviewed many years ago…  

Yeah when you’re in a hearing, under oath you get asked hard questions, but you have a responsibility to answer those question with the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth just like the easy questions.  In the end Clinton was impeached for this type of BS.  And I know I’m tired of this attitude that some people are above the truth and wondering if any senators can stop playing politics long enough to call I out.

So they have to decide not on guilt or innocence but whether they can say yeah I want this guy representing every Americans rights and protection the integrity of our courts.
