The successful 1969 landing has been hailed as a standard of achievement. The question: "If we can go to the moon, why can't we [fill in the appropriate task]?" is familiar to all of us. Now Barack Obama says we can't afford to go back the moon. This raises the next logical question: If we can't afford to go back to the moon, how can we afford to pay for illegal immigration? How can we allow millions of poor people to continue to cross our borders? We can't, but the new Obama budget calls for a cut in border security.
The Secure Fence Act of 2006 called for the construction of 700 miles of double-layered fencing along the border with Mexico. Then Senator Obama voted for it. Now, more than three years later, only 35 miles of double layered fencing is in place, and much of the remaining 360 miles of border fencing is of poor design and/or fifteen years old. And, the government is lying about how much fence is really there.
Where double layered fencing was installed, border crossings dropped dramatically. And, if we finished the job, we might be able to stop the drug violence in Mexico.
Obama can find money to prop up states like California who pay for illegal aliens but he can't find the money to continue manned space flight. We will have to depend on the Russians to get to the space station. What if they decide we can't go there anymore?
It is obvious that Obama wants less space exploration and more illegal immigration from Mexico. |
