Operational Control in Each Border Sector is Key to Achieving Border Security
Washington, D.C. – Republican Congressman Jeff Flake, who represents Arizona’s Sixth District, today praised the passage of H.R. 1299, the Secure Border Act, introduced by Congresswoman Candice Miller of Michigan.
The bill directs the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to create for congressional approval a strategy for gaining operational control of the northern and southern U.S. borders.
“Given that the Obama Administration has given up reporting the level of operational control on the border, it’s no wonder Congress has to force them to come up with an approved plan to achieve it,” said Flake.
In 2011, Congressman Flake introduced in the House H.R. 1507, the Border Security Enforcement Act of 2011, which is focused on achieving operational control of the southern U.S. border by increasing border resources. Senators John McCain and Jon Kyl introduced the legislation in the Senate. Among the 10 key provisions of the bill is the deployment of up to 6,000 National Guard troops and 5,000 additional Border Patrol agents to the United States-Mexico border by 2016. It would create additional Border Patrol stations along the southwest border and six additional permanent Border Patrol Forward Operating Bases and would upgrade existing bases.

So when is McCain going to endorse Flake?
Go read the bill – what a joke – just more of the same, kicking the can down the road – whose can needs to be kick down the road before he gets the opportunity to create more laws to protect himself and his political Barney Frank type buddies from us – Flake the fake.
Read the bill – while Flake is content with the front door being locked while all the windows and the back door are left wide open – he “APPLAUDS” this bill. Just what are you applauding Congressman Flake, the five (5) year dead line for DHS to comply? Get out of here Flake – grab your budding Cardon and go melt in a corner somewhere.

Oh puh-leese. It must be an election year. What a two-face.
His pants are burning!!!
Ummmmmm, let me see if I have this right—McFlake has been in DC for how many years, sitting on open borders and promoting amnesty for illegal aliens?
Then, in 2011, he announces a new election campaign and ABRACADABRA—here comes a border security bill. Whoa, it must be magic! When will his TV ads with Sheriff Ego Baboon and Juan McAmnesty hit the airwaves?
This should only help Wil Cardon, AZ and US.
God bless America.
I have been a constituient of Flakes for over 10 years, his staff is as arrogant as he is. For years I never got a reply to anything, I was even told I would not get a reply to a question unless I sent the question in writing to his office, when asking how he will vote on a bill, still it did not come. Flake has lied to every one of us with his not voting on Cap and Trade, we pay his salary and he was a no show but took his pay anyway. Flake ignored all of us when we said no Amnesty and he helped write the bill.
The Tea Party has had three successes so far this primary season, I hope and pray we have another here in Arizona and vote for Wil Cardin.
With what Arizonans have seen from the Tea Party being so prominent in our Legislature and politics over the last couple years, I wouldn’t count on increased representation.
Wil Cardon was helping raise money for Flake’s campaign last year. He gave the max contribution to Flake during the immigration debate in 2007. Wil is a complete and utter phony. If you are buying his act, you dont understand politics
Sorry to burst your bubble, but the Tea Party is 100% behind Jeff Flake. Thats why Cardon is so desperate to keep them out of the primary.
Exactly which “Tea Party” is that? Would that be the sect in Flake’s old district? The TP is so splintered and fragmented, anybody can call themselves “the tea party”. The one in my garage supports Cardon. Flakeites are desperate to discredit Cardon, but his positions on illegal immigration are quite committed. Flake, McCain, and Kyl are lying amnesty-sucking bastards and have the track record to prove it, and should all be hung.
Hung? You should really stop drinking so early in the day. The Tea Party that supports Flake include FreedomWorks and Club for Growth, the same ones that won in Indiana, Nebraska and Texas the other day. The ones Cardon is desperately trying to keep out.
Again, think hard. If Wil Cardon actually disagreed with Flake on immigration in 2007, why did he give him almost $5,000?
Too funny, Freedomworks is not Tea Party, they are for open borders as is Club For Growth.
Club For Growth considers the illegal immigration issue a social one, not a fiscal issue. If it was a fiscal issue Flake’s Club For Growth ratting would be 50% rather than 100.
Cardon and family have been contributing to Flake for over a decade. Cardon announced his run against Flake while sitting on Flakes 2012 US Senate Campaign Finance Committee.
The issue with Cardon is Arizona Urban Land Institute (ULI) and his Chairmanship on their Smart Growth Committee. It’s proven that ULI and Agenda21 are intimately interwoven, that which Cardon swears they are not. If Cardon is so stupid to think he is not complicit with Agenda21 directly or indirectly via ULI – he doesn’t belong in the Senate on either account.
What Tea Party, you are as bad as Odummer, lie lie and more lies. I am very much into the TP and I have not heard of organization supporting Flake, please tell us which Orgainzation.
Freedon works is Dick Armey, oh let see, “The Republicand need to get over the Illegal Immigration issue” to quote Dickie boy himself. Most Tea Parties are not associated with him.
Still waiting on an answer about Cardon giving Jeff Flake $5000 right after the big immigration debate in 2007. About Cardon raising money for Flake’s Senate campaign last year. If he really disagreed with Flake, why would he do that? If Cardon wins and then supports guest worker like he always has, would you honestly be surprised?
Don’t know if this will post up as its quite long, if it doesn’t I’ll get it up somewhere else and link back to it. Remember Cardon interned for McCain and Cardon was Romney’s Arizona vice chair in 2008.
I still say Cardon is a sacrificial anode (Strawman) for Flake seeing Flake has really never had an opponent before.
