Each passing day finds me filled with deepening sadness and much melancholy as we all are forced to stand by,voiceless,while our elected representatives happily place the noose about their own necks over amnesty for tens of millions of illegal immigrants disguised as “immigration reform.”Their arguments about all the restrictions the bill imposes and how difficult the ‘path to citizenship’ would be is like so much water through your fingers.These illegals have no interest in becoming US citizens.They want the jobs and the free stuff.Once the democrats attain their majority,it is a short step to lock them in as another permanenet underclass of takers,sucking an already-overburdened system dry.I’ve had a sense this country would collapse from its excessive sin and corruption.I just never realized how quickly the end would come.Without a shot ever being fired.
WITH A BROKEN HEART,I GIVE YOU THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF WELFARE

At first I was encouraged reading this, but it did not list the 70 and said that some of the 70 may drop off to protect their power structure. Good grief – this is a mess, and I blame it on John McCain, Marco Rubio, and Jeff Flake, and that other guy. They have been played like a fiddle by Schumer, and Rubio is now officially too dumb to be POTUS.

OBAMA’S UPCOMING AFRICAN SAFARI TO COST US BETWEEN $60-100 MILLION
Lord,I could write paragraphs.Instead I’m going to C&P the whole article…something I’ve never done.I just can’t take any more of these two.
Document: Major resources needed for Obama Africa trip
When President Obama makes his first extended trip to sub-Saharan Africa this month, the federal agencies charged with keeping him safe won’t be taking any chances.
Hundreds of U.S. Secret Service agents will be dispatched to secure facilities in Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania. A Navy aircraft carrier or amphibious ship, with a fully staffed medical trauma center, will be stationed offshore in case of an emergency.
Military cargo planes will airlift in 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines and three trucks loaded with sheets of bulletproof glass to cover the windows of the hotels where the first family will stay. Fighter jets will fly in shifts, giving 24-hour coverage over the president’s airspace, so they can intervene quickly if an errant plane gets too close.
The extraordinary security provisions — which will cost the government tens of millions of dollars — are outlined in a confidential internal planning document obtained by The Washington Post. While the preparations appear to be in line with similar travels in the past, the document offers an unusual glimpse into the colossal efforts to protect the U.S. commander-in-chief on trips abroad.
Any journey by the president, such as one scheduled next week for Northern Ireland and Germany, is an immense and costly logistical challenge. But the trip to Africa is complicated by a confluence of factors that could make it one of the most expensive of Obama’s tenure, according to people familiar with the planning.
The first family is making back-to-back stops from June 26 to July 3 in three countries where U.S. officials are providing nearly all the resources, rather than depending more heavily on local police forces, military authorities or hospitals for assistance.
The president and first lady had also planned to take a Tanzanian safari as part of the trip, which would have required the president’s special counterassault team to carry sniper rifles with high-caliber rounds that could neutralize cheetahs, lions or other animals if they became a threat, according to the planning document. But the White House canceled the safari Wednesday after inquiries from The Post about the trip’s purpose and expense, according to a person familiar with the decision.
A White House official said Thursday that the details of the trip had not been finalized earlier and that Obama will go to Robben Island, the South African prison where Nelson Mandela was held, instead of the safari.
“We do not have a limitless supply of assets to support presidential missions, and we prioritized a visit to Robben Island over a two-hour safari in Tanzania,” said spokesman Josh Earnest. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t do both.”
Former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush also made trips to multiple African nations involving similarly laborious preparations. Bush went in 2003 and 2008, bringing his wife on both occasions. Bush’s two daughters went along on the earlier trip, which included a safari at a game preserve on the Botswana-South Africa border.
“Even in the most developed places of Western Europe, the level of support you need for mass movements by the president is really extraordinary,” said Steve Atkiss, who coordinated travel as special assistant for operations to Bush. “As you go farther afield, to less-developed places, certainly it’s more of a logistical challenge.”
White House and Secret Service officials declined to discuss the details of the security operations, and administration aides cautioned that the president’s itinerary is not finalized.
Obama’s overseas travels come as government agencies, including the Secret Service, are wrestling with mandatory, across-the-board spending cuts. The service has had to slice $84 million from its budget this year, and this spring the agency canceled public White House tours to save $74,000 a week in overtime costs.
Many details about foreign presidential trips are classified for national security reasons, and there is little public information about overall costs. A report from the Government Accountability Office found that Clinton’s 1998 trip to six African nations cost the U.S. government at least $42.7 million. Most of that was incurred by the military, which made 98 airlift missions to transport personnel and vehicles, and set up temporary medical evacuation units in five countries.
That figure did not include costs borne by the Secret Service, which were considered classified.
Obama’s trip could cost the federal government $60 million to $100 million based on the costs of similar African trips in recent years, according to one person familiar with the journey, who was not authorized to speak for attribution. The Secret Service planning document, which was provided to The Post by a person who is concerned about the amount of resources necessary for the trip, does not specify costs.
“The infrastructure that accompanies the president’s travels is beyond our control,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser for strategic communications. “The security requirements are not White House-driven, they are Secret Service-driven. . . . Part of this is the nature of making sure we travel to emerging areas in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa. They are not as designed to facilitate the footprint of the United States president.”
But current and former government security officials involved in presidential trips said White House staff also help determine what’s required, because they plan the visits and parameters. The Secret Service and military respond to that itinerary by providing what their agencies consider the required security.
White House officials said the trip was long overdue, marking Obama’s first visit as president to sub-Saharan Africa aside from a 22-hour stopover in Ghana in 2009. The emerging democracies on the itinerary are crucial partners in regional security conflicts, Rhodes said.
Obama will hold bilateral meetings with each country’s leader and seek to forge stronger economic ties at a time when China is investing heavily in Africa. He also will highlight global health programs, including HIV/AIDS prevention.
The first lady, who toured South Africa and Botswana without the president in 2011, will headline some events on her own during the week. The stops will add to the logistical challenges, because she will require her own security detail and vehicles, the planning document shows.
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan declined to discuss details of the journey. “We always provide the appropriate level of protection to create a secure environment,” he said.
According to the Secret Service document, Obama will spend a night in Dakar, Senegal, two nights in Johannesburg, a night in Cape Town, South Africa, and then one night in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Among the 56 vehicles for the trip are parade limousines for the president and first lady; a specialized communications vehicle for secure telephone and video connections; a truck that jams radio frequencies around the presidential motorcade; a fully loaded ambulance that can handle biological or chemical contaminants; and a truck for X-ray equipment.
The Secret Service transports such vehicles, along with bulletproof glass, on most trips, including those inside the United States, White House officials said. But with quick stops in three countries, the agency will need three sets of each, because there is not enough time to transfer the equipment, according to the planning document.
One hundred agents are needed as “post-standers” — to man security checkpoints and borders around the president — in each of the first three cities he visits. Sixty-five are needed to meet up with Obama in Dar es Salaam. Before the 2-1 / 2 hour safari in Mikumi National Park was canceled this week, another 35 post-standers had been slated to protect the Obamas and their two daughters there, according to the document.
In addition, 80 to 100 additional agents will be flown in to work rotating shifts, with round-the-clock coverage, for Obama’s and his family’s security details, counterassault teams and logistics coordinators.
The planning document does not provide a total number of how many individual agents will be involved in the trip; some will work in more than one location.
Officials said the Secret Service does not want the president traveling anywhere without a top-rated trauma center nearby. The White House medical unit makes decisions about which foreign hospitals meet its standards when it makes advance visits to the locations for planned trips, officials said.
For example, the unit concluded that local hospitals were adequate in Oslo when Obama visited the city in 2009 to accept the Nobel Peace Prize.
But in much of the developing world, the U.S. Navy provides a “floating hospital” on an aircraft carrier or amphibious ship nearby, officials said. The U.S. military also flies fighter jets around the clock to secure airspace in some regions where the president is visiting, including Africa, the person familiar with the planning operations said.
Atkiss, the former Bush administration official, said none of the requirements listed in the Secret Service planning document is outside standard operating procedure.
“This is what you need to support the American presidency,” Atkiss said, “regardless of who the president is.”

I have been helping my next door neighbor who, sponsored a wonderful young man from Egypt who wanted to come to the U.S. It took a year to get the paper work done so that he could come – he was 30 years old when he arrived in November of 2003. It had already taken thousands of dollars in attorneys fees and application fees before he even arrived. He had a job all lined up with an accounting firm. In Egypt he was an accountant and worked for a bank. His English was pretty good, but he had to learn the US tax laws and take all the tests (hard for anyone!) in a second language with a different alphabet. He is a CPA now, and then went on to take all of the classes to become a certified financial advisor. His English is now impeccable, and he is the controller for the Richmond
Academy of Medicine – a very fine job for a very fine man.
It took 5 years and many, many thousands of dollars more to get his visa extended long enough to get his green card. The green card came 5 years ago. In 6 days he will take the oath of citizenship. I couldn’t be more proud of him if he was my own son. In fact, a Jewish friend of ours said recently that he should be the President of Egypt because he is that smart and able to get along with everyone.
When I see what this guy had to do, and some of the chicanery along the way in the process, I find it hard to muster sympathy for those who took the shortcut. I wish it was much, much easier to immigrate. If we made it easier to come legally, and harder to be here illegally, I don’t think we would have to worry about amnesty to tell you the truth. I think most of the illegals would go home for a vacation and family visit and then come on back legally to pick up where they left off. I know that is what the Hispanics that I talk with on construction sites say, that is the ones who can even talk to me.
