Is the Obama Administration a national security disaster?

The Obama Administration is lawless when it comes to border security and immigration law enforcement. The border is porous at best, and Obama is doing everything within his power, and then some, to welcome as many illegal aliens as he can. The word is out south of the border that crossing illegally into the United States will be met with little or no resistance, and even with open arms. Obama is doing everything to condone more illegal immigration, and has shown how unsecure our southern border really is. I believe that this poses a huge risk for a national security breach, yes terrorists, entering through our southern border. What are your thoughts?

 

Please explain your answer to the poll if you wish.

 

I voted no because even though Obama's foreign policy has been a disaster, I don't think it is for the reason you stated. Yes, he continued the War in Afghanistan when he didn't have to worry about congressional gridlock, which was a disgrace, but the opposite has occurred with immigration. The administration has failed to pass anything, or rather congress has failed to pass anything, because of the anti republicanism Hastert Rule.

 

Obama has little interest in real border security, and has done everything he can to encourage more illegal immigration. He fights against States trying to protect their own borders. You can't blame Congress. Obama has his pen and phone.

 

I would start from abroad [just because of my point of observation], Obama administration is an

international source of insecurity.

I guess that all the governments of all the democracies around the world hope that the White House DOESN'T take a look at their own region ... Obama geopolitical doctrines cause a tremendous bad luck to allies and an incredible luck to enemies [I'm not able to understand this!].

Think to Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraina, Mali ... an other recent or ongoing crisis.

It has been just when US administration payed less attention that the allies were able to get some results [in Libya and Mali] ...

Mah ... may be we Italians, we are too much superstitious and we often think that someone causes bad luck.

 

Obama looks weak around the world. My relatives in Germany and the Netherlands do not look at him as a serious world leader.

 

The flow of immigrants results in theft from ordinary citizens entirely due to government policy. More people using services = more theft from taxpayers. So I am emphatically in favor of abolishing all such programs.

In the absence of such programs I see no reason whatsoever why citizens shouldn't be able to allow whoever they want on their property, or trade it to them. I don't see why people from Saudi Arabia, Uruguay, Finland or Algeria shouldn't be able to own and live in property so long as they can voluntarily negotiate such a purchase with local owners. Beyond the concern about welfare rorting I am of the opinion that opposition to immigration is mostly statist xenophobia which transfers power from the hands of individuals to large national governments. That's not usually their intent - but it's how I see it.

As for Obama's Presidency - yeah, a national security disaster. For opposite reasons. He should have stopped all the world policing and moved to allow a strong domestic defense. Allow people to purchase full auto-rifles without spending $20,000. Encourage communities to provide their own defense. The Swiss to this fairly well, and it worked a charm even in WWII. If each citizen provides for his own defense the need for collusion between government and the military industry is much reduced.

 

I can confirm this as well.

My family and friends in Europe all tell me the same: Obama is nowhere near the level of other world leaders.

One Italian friend recently told me that he was "elected based on race rather than substance and the rest of the world knows it, especially your enemies."

How very true.

 

Even more so now that he's negotiated to release 5 terrorists.

 

Whether it's foreign or domestic policy this administration is a disaster. Is this administration a success in promoting racism? Definitely. Is this administration successfully promoting socialism? Not really but it isn't for lack of trying. Is this administration actively attempting to damage the country? Yes.

 

"The Obama Administration is lawless when it comes to border security and immigration law enforcement" This is made up, not true and designed to incite. Suggest Patrick look up socialism before you embarrass tour self further.

 

As true as it gets. Obama has created this border disaster, but now it is getting out of hand. He is way over his head as President.

 

Your concern is sweet but don't worry about me. I realize you can't wait for VA Health care for all. And, right, President Obama is doing a bang-up job on the border.

 

Yeah, but Bush was. LMAO

 

My god, Phoebe has seen the light.

 

Aiding and abetting an enemy in time of warfare is a TREASONOUS ACT. So YES, without doubt, this President is a threat to National Security.

 

There is no enemy without a declaration of war. Since there is no enemy, we are not in a time of warfare, and there can be no treason. It's really fairly straightforward. You can flap your gums all you want, war or peace.

 

How can this administration be anything less than a national security disaster? Name one aspect in which this country is actually better off than before this clown took office? I can think of none when it comes to our security...

 

Still waiting, liberals...

 

It would be far more logical to try and think of some way President Obama isn't a disaster. I think Joe Biden was right:
"“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

Other than bright and nice-looking, Biden pretty much hit all of Obama's positive attributes.

As for performance in the White House, it's been pretty much as expected from Obama's record of amazing accomplishments.

 

I am sure that all the veterans who fought and are still fighting, and have had their arms and legs removed by IEDs will agree with your insightful observation.

 

The Europeans Bush selected joined our coalition, when Obama went looking for pals to face down Putin over his silly red line, who showed up for him?

 

He is even worse than Bush who I did not think would be possible.should have known better,every presidet that gets in is always worse than the previous one since both parties are corrupt.

exactly.well said.

 

whats amazing is world leaders around the country viewed bush the same way.I would say the rest of the country understands how corrupt our two party system is,its just the american sheople that dont get it.
