Health and Human Services officials will allow reporters to visit a military facility housing some of the immigrant children who have arrived at the southern border in recent weeks, but only if the media promises not to record anything, not to ask any questions during the tour, and not to talk to any of the staff members or children.
“This violates the First Amendment,” Representative Jim Bridenstine (R., Okla.), who represents the congressional district containing the housing facility at Fort Sill, said of the HHS invitation to the media. “This is not transparent. HHS is trying to muzzle the media and hide the human tragedy that has resulted directly from the administration’s failure to enforce the law.”
HHS attached seven rules “in order to protect the safety and privacy of the children” for the media who come to the tour, according to an HHS invitation released by Bridenstine’s office:
– No recording devices will be allowed
– No questions will be allowed during the tour
– No interacting with staff and children at the shelter
– We ask that your questions be provided via email or phone after the tour to Kenneth Wolfe
– HHS ACF public affairs will provide answers to your follow up questions as quickly as possible
– We will provide photos of the facility after the tour
– There will be no on-site interviews by HHS staff before or after the tour, all inquiries go to Kenneth Wolfe

The charges for which a president can be impeached and removed from office are “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
Impeachment is long overdue. Patrick J. Buchanan needs to review the literature. He always was a democrat.
All agencies under Obama’s control seem to think that the Constitution no longer applies to the bureaucracy.
Interesting that anyone flying gets a thorough scan, including shoes, purses, and artificial hips by TSA, but illegals don’t even get scanned for scabies.
Send the TSA to the border.
If I could draw as a cartoonist, I’d draw the entire Obama family, including dogs, sitting down to dinner, cheek to jowell with 100 or so of their new best friends trucked in from the border.
@Helene:
Agree 100%. In fact why the hell aren’t they there already! Instead of setting up their idiotic random traffic stop and swab check points around the various state transportation routes and harassing law abiding citizens?

The talking heads are wrong; the unaccompanied children from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala CAN BE deported.
BTW, HR 7311 was simply an extension of a bill passed in 2000 and signed by Bill Clinton, that funded the program until 2011. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this 2014? The bill has expired.
Tax loophole costs billions
This is just another one of Obama’s idiotic “decisions”….this guy is a joke….and so is anyone who will not stand up to the Ofraud…and all his crony’s (holder) and those appointed by him …republicans and democrats alike…
Someone in the Washington DC bubble must see how all this is just so wrong on so many levels….
obama is getting what he wanted. When he first became president the very first thing he did was to re open the internment camps throughout the US. Next he wanted his own brown shirt army to surpass that of the DoD. He said that he won and he was ready to rule. He now has his own army albeit they are from Mexico . If you notice any pictures of these men, they all have the flag of Mexico about their shirt pocket. He has incited such unrest in the United States among AMERICAN citizens, he will soon have what he wants, a pure facist dictatorship.
A revolution is in the wind and it won’t be pretty.
He’s already a dictator.
At this point 0Muslim is simply cementing the foundations of his takeover of the country (with the use of illegal immigrants/public assistance vote buying, and a unconstitutionally complicit Congress).
The only thing in his way at this point is the still formidable Clinton team. And I predict that one, or both, will soon exit the U.S. political landscape for one reason or another. This, and/or the declaration of martial law, will leave 0Muslim in complete control of what was once the United States.
One has to wonder just how many would need to execise their 2nd Amendment rights surrounding the White House before the current occupant could be encouraged to depart via shanks mare?
