Cloward and Piven seems to be coming along nicely.

I don't play video games on a kiddie console I play them on my pc at my desk tyvm. Why should the tax payers that don't live in Texas have to pay a dime? It seems like every time Texas doesn't get their way they cry we are going to secede from the union. Just look at this as a little taste of how it would be like if you were on your own.
And how will he do this? Did you forget that our military is off chasing terrorist in other parts of the world? Build a fence? That hardly slows them down. So tell me how would you shut down 1,969 miles of border?

Strange how he can't use that pen and phone to do something that will actually help. In a REAL dire situation....
It's almost like ......he just uses it when it suits his agenda.....
But I know that's just crazy talk

So nothing about congress not wanting to do anything either then huh?
If this is a dire situation why doesn't he have a new bill on his desk every day?

He doesn't control congress.... Far from it. He can't force them to do a damn thing.
This very apparently isn't important to anyone over there.
If congress wants him to stop taking advantage of the loop holes that are present, then get a bill that gets rid of them.
They are the ones that passed the pushed the bills that had them in there, time to push some that get rid of them.
When he veto's that, then we can talk.
He is a damn puppet like they all are, what ever agenda that is getting pushed is not his.

Its not a priority for ANY of them. Not just him.
And what do you suggest he does with his pen and phone to fix what is going on?

And unless you want obama to use his pen and phone Congress needs to get of their lazy butts and give him a bill to militarize the border.
Laws are not being violated, they are being loopholed, and those loopholes have been there for decades.
Congress needs to get rid of those as well since they are the ones that passed the bills that contained them

Most of the people crossing the border will be deported, they have to be processed first though which the protesters are making that long process, take even longer.
