Obama slammed over jokes about 'moats' and 'alligators' in immigration speech... by border residents forced to leave homes
From Will at The Other News:
(DailyMail) Residents of an Arizona town who fled their homes because of a massive fire say they are outraged at Obama’s claims to have secured the Mexican border.Hundreds of people evacuated their homes in Portal because of the fire that is suspected to have been started by illegal immigrants in the drug and human smuggling corridor, 50 miles north of the Mexico border.
The residents, many of whom have been staying in refugee centres, said they were sickened at Obama’s jokes about Republicans wanting alligators and moats on the border in an immigration speech in Texas.
‘Neither the border, nor daily life is secure,’ wrote the residents affected by the fire, which broke out on Sunday, in a petition they are sending to the White House.‘It is with great wonderment and sadness that we listened to your May 10 speech on immigration issues.
‘All of the joking about moats and alligators cut residents of Portal, AZ, to the core as we sheltered with friends or at a Red Cross evacuation site, to survive a terrible fire that still threatens our lives and property, as well as our ecotourism-based economy.’
Speaking in Palo Alto on Tuesday, President Obama had boasted that the U.S.-Mexico border was more secure than ever before.Jeff Gee, one of the organisers behind the petition and a firefighter still battling the fire, said he was insulted by Obama's speech.
‘I’m really disappointed at current border security, I’m really disappointed at the President’s speech saying that people like me wants moats with alligators, but moats with alligators might work, nothing else,’ he told Fox News.
‘We’re doing everything we can to get the word out that this is serious problem, it’s not just a border issue, the drugs and crime are moving through the corridor and they keep going to major cities.’
Cochise County sheriff Larry Dever said: ‘These people are not overreacting. What they suggest in letter is very deep part of their belief system based on their experience and their experience has been horrific.
‘They see human smuggling and drug trafficking, they sit on their porch and watch people walk through, they've had their homes burgled,’ he told Fox News.‘It's a beautiful landscape and for those that moved out there for a sense of tranquility and peace, that's been destroyed.
The trouble with lies is that the truth eventually catches up Mr. President.
