Fox News: Texas rep says military bases ‘turning into refugee camps,’ appeals for help on borderhttp://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...rning-into-refugee-camps-appeals-for-help-on/http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...rning-into-refugee-camps-appeals-for-help-on/

Texas officials appealed to the Obama administration on Thursday to secure the U.S.-Mexico border once and for all as waves of illegal immigrant children overwhelm the system, with one lawmaker saying U.S. military bases effectively have been transformed into camps to handle the influx.

"Our military bases are turning into refugee camps. I never thought I'd see this in the United States of America," House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, said.

McCaul spoke at a field hearing he convened in McAllen, Texas, in the Rio Grande Valley which has seen the brunt of the migrant surge. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has deployed state resources in a bid to boost border security, and other state officials testified at the hearing.

"Secure this border, Mr. President," Perry urged in his opening remarks.

Problem: Perry isn't Reagan. Obama isn't Gorbachev. Perry's still right.

Obama's not. He decided to speed up deportations, but to do so, he's shifting enforcement focus from the interior to the border. No reason he couldn't do both. But he's trying not to upset his agenda by being effective in both areas at once, or there wouldn't be millions of new Democrat voters in 2016.

Md term congressional elections coming up. The demo-libs will play up for the compassion vote. They do NOT want to lose the Senate. BHO is pandering to Latinos hoping that they'll forget he deported more illegals than Dubbya did. All calculated political moves.
