Debbie Schlussel: OUTRAGE: Obama Calls ICE Agents "Terrorists" @ La Raza Confab; Clearly Didn't Get the ICE Lactation Memo
Check out this video and transcript from Barack Obama's speech at the La Raza (The Race) convention yesterday in San Diego (thanks to Hot Air for the tip and the transcript). In it, he calls Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents "terrorists."
This is an outrage. We can't have a President who calls American law enforcement agents "terrorists." Not only is it bunk, it's just unacceptable behavior and should be an absolute bar to occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. It's sickening. And clueless-as-usual Obama doesn't know what he's talking about because it's explicit ICE policy--per the ICE lactation memo--not to seize nursing mothers and per other ICE policy, not to separate parents from their children.
Where are ICE Chieftess Julie L. Myers a/k/a "The ICE Princess" and her chief protector, DHS Secretary Michael "Serpenthead"/"Mr. Burns" Chertoff, on this? Why aren't they denouncing this outrageous attack on THEIR agents?
When communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids, when nursing mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school to find their parents missing, when people are detained without access to legal counsel, when all that is happening, the system just isn't working, and we need to change it.
Um, they all get access to legal counsel. Why the heck does he think immmigration court is tied up for years, and everyone is always filing a million appeals to their cases and few are deported? Through black magic (oops, is it racist now to use that term when I'm writing about Obama)?
Absolutely, none of this is accurate. And this is yet another bad omen for a Barack Obama Presidency--that the man doesn't operate on facts, isn't interested in accuracy or truth, and doesn't know what the heck he's talkin' about.
G-d Help This Troubled (Obama)Nation.
