Judge Beryl Howell, appointed by Obama to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in 2010, just ruled that the Mexican border fence is racist.
The ruling states that the border fence may have a “disparate impact on lower-income minority communities.”
So now we can’t even protect our borders because of ‘political correctness’.
A Homeland Security initiative to put fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border could discriminate against minorities, according to an Obama-appointed federal judge who’s ruled that the congressionally-approved project may have a “disparate impact on lower-income minority communities.”This of course means that protecting the porous—and increasingly violent—southern border is politically incorrect. At least that’s what the public college professor at the center of the case is working to prove and this month she got help from a sympathetic federal judge. Denise Gilman, a clinical professor at the taxpayer-funded University of Texas-Austin, is researching the “human rights impact” of erecting a barrier to protect the U.S. from terrorists, illegal immigrants, drug traffickers and other serious threats.
A 2006 federal law orders the construction of fencing or a wall along the most vulnerable portions of the nearly 2,000-mile southern border. This includes reinforced fencing along 700 miles of the southwest border with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) determining the exact spots. Professor Gilman wants the identities of the landowners in the planned construction site to shed light on the impact the fencing will have on indigenous, minority and low-income communities. The feds refused to provide the information, asserting that it’s private.
The professor sued in federal court arguing that the public interest in how the fence will impact landowners outweighed any privacy concerns. The data will allow the public to analyze whether the government is treating property owners equally and fairly or whether the wall is being built in such a way that it disadvantages “minority property owners,” according to the professor. It will also help the public understand the actual dimensions of the wall and decisions related to where it’s placed.
Judge Beryl Howell, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by President Obama in 2010, agreed that the public interest is significant. Her 37-page ruling also seems to indicate that she bought the discrimination argument. “Revealing the identities of landowners in the wall’s planned construction site may shed light on the impact on indigenous communities, the disparate impact on lower-income minority communities, and the practices of private contractors,” Howell wrote.
This is simply the latest controversy to strike the border fence project since Congress approved it to protect national security and curb an illegal immigration and drug-trafficking crisis. In the last few years the mayors of several Texas border towns have blocked federal access to areas where the fence is scheduled to be built, an Indian tribe tried to block the barrier in the Arizona desert by claiming the feds were intruding on tribal land and a group of government scientists claimed the fencing would threaten the black bear population.
Hey terrorists here ya go free entry
APPOINTED BY OHDUMNASS! THAT TELL YOU ANYTHING! AND ALL THE OTHERS HE’S APPOINTED OR PUT INTO OFFICE! GET RID OF ALL OF THEM NOW BEFOR IT’S TO LATE!!!!!!!!
Hang the judge, and all democrats, by their neck until dead!
Do it anyway, what they going to do arrest all of us? NOT
Smoking mirror’s !!!!
insane like the rest of them!
Obama says NOTHING – Obama calls Mexican president & says not 1 word about our Marine held in Mexican prison for over 3 months. And he tells you how much he cares.
And Obama now is telling us that we need to bring the workplace into the 21 century. What he is really saying is that NOW he wants to tell everyone that the American Dream is gone. To me the American Dream is where you work hard & long to succeed. But Obama wants companies to give more time off to do family things. And then when you make less, he can then say that it is the companies that aren’t paying enough. Work is hard – Life is Hard – but when you succeed YOU are Happy to be there.
Whoops..now we hear that IRS had outside contract for e-mails. Another hearing on IRS & loss of 2yrs of e-mail from Lerner & 6 others. And Dems do what they always do – NOTHING. They call it a witch hunt. You can’t ignore what has happened. Do they think we are STUPID? The failure of Obama’s administration. As he tells you how transparent he is while hiding everything. If he has nothing to hide then why now show us everything.
Now we hear that Obama will give $500 mil to the countries that these children are coming from. What the hell-if you have to throw away $500 mil then use it here. While they are flying these illegals all over our country when they could be flying them back to own country. ICE say they will be deported but also says those w/family in US will probably get pass.
Are Democrats so desperate for some illegal votes that they refuse to see what is happening. The Dems are calling this a refugee problem. While they are flying these illegals (not all children) all over our country when they could be flying them back to they’re own country.
Who are going to get hurt by all of these illegals in OUR country. Yes it will be the poor & middle-class in this country.
The reports are out now at the VA & it reported that 70% of VA facilities used secret waiting list. In 2011 they started the bonus program. I would like to know just who came up & passed along how to trick the waiting list system. They didn’t all think of the same thing.
And wow – just when Obama needs something to look good for him – they get their hands on 1 of the Benghazi attackers. You know the guy that was hiding in plain site.
BUT Obama again doing other things.
-while Iraq is burning
-while Illegals are flooding our boarders
-then off to Ca to spend most of the rest of weekend at desert golf haven of Palm Springs, Ca. As usual playing golf is more important to Obama than staying in DC doing what he was hired to do. Pandering for $’s for Democrats too.
All I would say to Obama at this point is “When more of our troops die due to what you did-Their blood will be on Obama’s hands” To Obama & Kerry we say this-since they don’t seem to know-war is over when EVERY American is out of Afghanistan. Obama says he want apologize. We don’t expect him to because he doesn’t really care what THE PEOPLE have to say.
Now Hagel says that they didn’t negotiating w/terrorists they negotiated w/Qatar. DO THEY THINK WE ARE ALL STUPID? Also says that the Taliban have never been declared terrorists. 90 Obama staff members were told about the trade but they refused to tell Congress.
What part of the war is not over until all of our troops are out of Afghanistan – Kerry a fool & playing w/lives of those left in Afghanistan. Kerry says-Taliban detainees released in a prison swap for Bergdahl could indeed return to terrorism but largely dismissed the argument that the deal will put U.S. troops further at risk. Kerry says the argument that troops in Afghanistan would be more at risk was ‘baloney’ now that the Taliban commanders have been released, particularly because the US is winding down its military presence in that country. ‘Our combat role in Afghanistan is over’, ‘We’re going to have very few people in that kind of position.’
-Story was about Bergdahl’s health now story that Taliban said they would kill him if negotiations were leaked. How many lies will we have to hear? They now say he was tortured – of course he was – would you trust a deserter?
-Some in Obama admin are saying that those that were actually there when Bergdahl deserted are LYING.
-Hagel says he has seen nothing about anyone killed looking for Bergdahl.
-Rice says Bergdahl says “He served with honor & dignity” when those that served w/him says he was a deserter.
Bergdahl at 1 point during his captivity converted to Islam, fraternized openly with his captors and declared himself a “mujahid,” or warrior for Islam, according to secret documents prepared on the basis of a purported eyewitness account.
Obama says that we never leave a man behind. Guess he has forgotten about Benghazi. In that video I think that Bergdahl is begging them to not send him back. He knows that he will or should stand trial for desertion.
Obama says “It’s my administration & I always take responsibility” What a joke
Now some Democrats say that Obama is Detached, Flat Footed & Incompetent. They will say anything at this point to be re-elected.
They say Obama is disengaged but I would say that all Obama wants to do is the fun stuff. He has been partying & campaigning since he took office. And I might add that it is all paid for by the American taxpayer. Why should we have to PAY for the security, travel & lodging for him to be out telling more LIES to collect money for the Democratic party.
If Obama & Clinton have nothing to hide why don’t they give us ALL of the information requested?” We now know that Obama was not in the situation room while events were taking place. We know Obama was busy campaigning & not reading the daily briefs. E-mail showing it was adviser that sent out the word to use the video as the cause for Benghazi. Everyone on the ground said it was a terrorist attack & CIA chose to listened to analyst in DC. Still we are 21 months later & not 1 person has been captured. Now they have e-mail showing that instead of concentration on the men being killed in Benghazi they were focused on the video at that time.
Obama’s admin secretive & dishonest; its callous disregard for the rule of law undermines our constitutional republic. Must ask Obama if he remembers taking an oath of office to uphold law & constitution NOT to change them without Congress.
Anything reported–Obama says that he didn’t know. Why is it no one that works for Obama tells him anything or is this just his cover-up line?
Again we ask–What the hell does Obama know? Plausible Deniability
Fast & Furious–Obama didn’t know-5 years still nothing.
Benghazi–Obama didn’t know-now documents show that Obama & Clinton LIED about the attack & Morrell gave St Dept cover.
IRS–Obama didn’t know-now calling it a media scandal. DOJ says NO charges
NSA–Obama didn’t know
Obamacare not working–Obama didn’t know- Obama said he was not told DIRECTLY but now there is a memo showing the White house was told 1 week prior to rollout there were issues.
Going after AP & FOX reporters phone records because they were reporting things that Obama didn’t want known – Obama didn’t know
–ICE reports 36,000 illegals released last year & 1,000’s have criminal records-even rape & murder.
-VA scandal They say Obama found out reading newspaper but Obama & Biden were told 5 years ago that VA was inaccurately report wait times.
Obama always says he will get to the bottom of it & then what do we see–NOTHING. Obama continues to say “We will bring those responsible to justice”. And what have we seen – NO ONE held accountable.
By the way….this is 1 woman that does not support Obama or anything that he stands for! We will get the truth 1 day. My motto:”I WILL NOT COMPLY!” So I will continue to sing my song until he is gone… Please enjoy & start learning the words.
