WH Insists ‘Border Security Is Stronger Than It Ever Has Been’
Rick Moran / American Thinker
The White House is channeling Kevin Bacon from “Animal House” these days, insisting that “All is well. Remain Calm!” when it comes to border security.
Of course, Bacon was subsequently trampled by a rampaging mob – sort of like the situation on our southern border right now except that Bluto is dead and Otter is nowhere to be found..
Under the heading “border security” on the White House website’s section on President Obama’s immigration proposal, the whitehouse.gov website gives the president credit for having “doubled the number of Border Patrol agents,” saying “today border security is stronger than it ever has been.”
The White House says the statement is true despite the estimated 52,000 unattended children who have crossed the southwest border so far this year and the roughly 90,000 expected by fall.
“Looking at the overall picture of the border, the Border Patrol is better staffed today than at any time in history,” White House deputy press secretary Shawn Turner told the Washington Examiner.
“We’ve doubled the number of agents nationwide … more agents providing more eyes across the border. If you look at the boots on the ground on the Southwest border, there’s been a 95 percent increase since 2004.”
