Hot Air Survey: Michigan and Arizona Edition

posted at 5:00 pm on February 25, 2012 by Patrick Ishmael

Survey’s a little longer this time, but it includes a SMOD question as well as another Palin v. Christie matchup. As always, I’ll release some early results here.

We should’ve annexed Mexico when we had the chance.

Drone surveillance reveals: Border Patrol capturing less than 50% of illegals in parts of southern Arizona

Huge waste of time and money. These pols have no interest whatsoever in managing this border.

But Napolitano says our border is as secure as it’s ever been! Did we always suck at defending our border? Or did we just lay out a banquette of free government benefits and dare foreigners to walk over and take some?

Time to let the military control the border…the boys in camo-pants know how to hold and defend a line in the sand!

They’re still capturing that many?

They don’t care about the “illegals.” They care about us.

That’s the plan.

NeoKong on April 4, 2013 at 5:02 PM

Actually, none of that proves that the feds’ 2011 numbers are inaccurate. It might simply mean that border security is … getting worse.

Well duh… Barky O’Dogeater won’t let anyone enforce our immigrations laws, how could border security possibly get better?

Socratease on April 4, 2013 at 4:49 PM

No, we only started sucking at defending our borders when the Marxist’s infiltrated our government.

SWalker on April 4, 2013 at 5:05 PM

Looks like we need armed drones for that task.

Obama is so good at whacking Talibanese, I wonder how well he’d do against the rabblke scooting across the border in Arizona?

The bill will be be deficit neutral just like Obamacare and you can take that to the bank!

Wigglesworth on April 4, 2013 at 5:25 PM

50% is like a SOLID B+ for 0bama.

BTW, how many jobs were lost or not created by not building the fence that the will of the people Congress authorized. 0 sure is adding a precedent for the next president to ignore any and all legislation from previous congress’s. Not sure why the next president couldn’t refuse all of 0bama HellCare bill because he thinks it unconstitutional.

What really bugs me is the poll at the top of the LA Times story that asks if drones should be used to patrol the border. 92% are in favor. Ok great, but if you have good desert survival skills and can evade the drone technology more than 50% of these people are in favor of giving these border jumpers a path to citizenship? Morons!

Wigglesworth on April 4, 2013 at 5:38 PM

We should’ve annexed Mexico when we had the chance.

Ya know, that was an almost done deal back after the Mexican American War. There was the concern though of all those Mexicans we’d have to accept as citizens, Catholics to boot, and both the culture and fact that we’d have millions more Catholics, who, at the time, weren’t especially liked by the majority of US citizens, most being Protestant and intolerant if not bitterly loathing of Catholics put the kabosh on the whole annexation thing, IIRC.

Perhaps it’s time to call out the unorganized militia?

Another Drew on April 4, 2013 at 6:42 PM

Could someone politely explain to Senator Rubio that he is in grave danger of becoming Florida’s next Charlie Crist?

Another Drew on April 4, 2013 at 6:45 PM

Nothing to see here. These are simply undocumented border crossings by unnamed unmentionable entities that we don’t apprehend, see or even acknowledge. Until they are registered Democrats.

Well for now. Once that great and grand utopia has been put into place and the leftist have perpetual control of government, and just about everything else, we’ll see how fast the borders are manned and managed……to keep all the producers in our paradise.

Just remember who built the Berlin Wall and who installed the wire and guard towers on the East German border……it wasn’t the West Berliners attempting to keep all those communists out.

When ya set back and think about it, its way, way, past time.

If only.

hawkeye54 on April 4, 2013 at 6:59 PM

410/7333 =/= 50%!!!

abobo on April 4, 2013 at 7:29 PM

In contrast, the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, estimated in January that the Border Patrol had caught 64% of those who illegally crossed into the Tucson sector in 2011…

LOL. Based on what?

Anyone who believes any numbers that come out of this lying, sack o’ sh!t government deserves what they get.

How about some fraud prosecutions? Sure …

I do like the “64%” to make it sound as if the number is based on something other than “pull it out of my azz”. It reminds of Barky’s junta claiming that their porkulus had created 3,231,873.32 jobs. Okey doke.
