Quoting someone then changing the text…how progressive of you.

I've done work on US Army bases and US Air Bases and carried radios and cell phone. So I guess maybe you aren't as trusted a contractor as I was.

Or, maybe, you were working in an area more sensitive than the area where we would build refugee shelters.....

As to you not caring about the issue we aren't surprised.

I did security in Border Stations and Air Force Bases in the South and Southwest and even Osan AFB, Korea. So yeah, I've got the high-security creds so something like this would not seem abnormal to me. And you might want to find a copy of that email and get a statement from someone other than a unnamed congressional staffer. You believe everything you read or just what you want to believe? Wait, don't answer. I can guess.

yeah, the 'unnamed' staffer thing is a bit suspect.....

Ok, while we wait for confirmation are you suggesting this would be a problem but it isn't true?

I'm suggesting that I'd wish to see the whole email to see what was requested, what was demanded, and what justification was provided. Then, we'll discuss it. Until then, it's a collection of guesswork.

Oh, like we don't engage in that all the time. Hell you just make ★■◆● up or deny reality on a regular basis.
I think you are afraid of the hypothetical that will most likely be proven true?

hey look at that, ad hominem attack.

That's the thing about hypotheticals. They're all 'what if' scenarios, so they can't be used as justifications for anything. Just because something might be true (hypothetical) doesn't mean it will be true (projection).

....

Telling the truth isn't an attack. At least not to most people it isn't.

Disease comes with this human wave as well:

“We have so many kids coming in that there was no way to control all of the sickness – all this stuff coming into the country,” she said. “We were very concerned at one point about strep going around the base.”

Both the counselor and the nurse said their superiors tried to cover up the extent of the illnesses.

“When they found out the kids had scabies, the charge nurse was adamant – ‘Don’t mention that. Don’t say scabies,’” the nurse recounted. “But everybody knew they had scabies. Some of the workers were very concerned about touching things and picking things up. They asked if they should be concerned, but they were told don’t worry about it.”

The nurse said the lice issue was epidemic – but everything was kept “hush-hush.”

“You could see the bugs crawling through their hair,” she said. “After we would rinse out their hair, the sink would be loaded with black bugs.”

The nurse told me she became especially alarmed because their files indicated the children had been transported to Lackland on domestic charter buses and airplanes.

“That’s what alerted me,” she said. “Oh, my God. They’re flying these kids around. Nobody knows that these children have scabies and lice. To tell you the truth, there’s no way to control it.”

go read what was said of the 'wave' of Italians and Irish. The irony might grab you, but not likely......

Oh come on! What's different about border security under Obama than under Bush? Geez. If anything, Obama has deported more people and has deployed more border patrol agents than Bush ever did. All Bush can be credited with is starting improvements on the border fence, which Obama is continuing. At worst, Bush missed all those terrorists who sashayed onto 3 airliners and deliberately crashed them, unless he let it happen.

note the vast uptick in domestic terrorist attacks post-Obama.....oh, yeah, there hasn't been one.
For what it's worth, the same red herring has been tossed about regarding the border for a decade.

AQ does have a reputation for the long view.

it's a shame so few Americans do.......and not just regarding terrorism. I was thinking economics.

It is more than just a shame that the Obama administration is censoring, by way of denying access to reporters and lawmakers, the current situation on the border.
Most transparent administration ever...lol.

Transparently thug-ish.

Posted: **Thu Jul 10, 2014 12:12 pm**

explain the 'censorship', please. Other than not photographing(which is standard practice when actual humans are involved who are children, it's call privacy protection), what is being censored? Proof, please.

McCain railed on that one and all the while he kept mixing up the 2 different department heads' names while doing it. I've looked and I noticed that all the right wing outlets never showed that little brain fart portion of his rant. Uh huh. And the bastard still wants to take pictures of children and it's OK because they are "illegals". What an a$$hole. Time to retire senile man.
