Illegal alien extremists dancing in the streets thanks to Obama

Yes, La Raza is clicking its heels today. Barack Obama has always been an extremist on the issue of illegal immigration, whether he tries to hide it or not. Now comes word that, at a time when our southern border is still plagued by illegal aliens and drug violence, Obama's budget cuts funding to the Border Patrol.

It's our largest federal budget in history at over $3 trillion, but one thing Obama doesn't have money for is border security. His budget will reduce the number of Border Patrol agents, even though the entire 2,000 mile expanse is guarded by only 20,000 agents. The president is also pulling $226 million from the virtual fence being built along the border, even though the fence has had great success at keeping illegal aliens out.

So what are Obama's real priorities? His stimulus gave millions of dollars to La Raza and the League of United Latin American Citizens, two extremist groups sympathetic to illegal aliens. A bill introduced by Rep. Luis Gutierrez is winding through Congress that would give amnesty to illegals already in the United States. And the Justice Department is currently at war with Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, whose aggressive tactics have gone a long way towards battling illegal immigration.

Tax and spend Obama breaks yet another campaign promise

Back during the presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised that he would reduce the deficit to 3% of GDP by the end of his first term in office. It was a sham, of course. There's no way Obama, drunk on spending taxpayer money, would follow through on something like that.

Now it's official. Over the weekend, Obama announced his new $3.8 billion budget, which ramps up spending on all kinds of useless government programs. Meanwhile his Office of Management and Budget announced that the deficit would be reduced to a minimum 3.6%...by 2020. Right now, deficit spending is at its highest point since World War II, thanks to Obama.

Chicago politics even extends to the OMB

Under Barack Obama, brass-knuckled Chicago politics has pervaded the entire United States government. Now today comes word that the president's kneecapping tactics are in play even at the Office of Management and Budget, a relatively nonpartisan agency responsible for crafting the U.S. budget.

According to Office of Personnel Management Inspector General Patrick McFarland, on January 4, an official from the OPM was on the phone with a high-ranking OMB official. The OPM has the right to bring complaints and concerns about the budget to Congress. The official from the OMB warned the official from the OPM that, if he went to Congress about the 2011 budget, the OMB would "make life miserable" for the OPM. A House committee is now investigating the matter.

One can only imagine what sort of nefariousness in the president's 2011 budget has the OMB so worried.

Is there any department or agency that is safe from the president's Chicago brand of politics?
