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.
