No, The Illegal Alien Surge Is Not Obama’s Katrina

USA Today reporter Susan Page wonders why, despite the surge of illegal aliens across our border, Obama would continue to attend lavish fundraisers rather than visit the border, calling the decision “Obama’s Katrina moment.” (Even Democratic Texas congressman Henry Cuellar expressed the same concern.)

This comparison is deeply unfair.

To George W. Bush.

After all, Bush didn’t:

  • Invite the hurricane in by promising to make it a citizen.
  • Turn a blind eye while criminal cartels smuggled Katrina into New Orleans.
  • Demand FEMA employees stop pumping out flood water.
  • Prevent a U.S. congressman from Louisiana from visiting a refugee camp in his own state.
  • Schedule fundraisers in Dallas, Little Rock and Memphis, then insist on attending them and refusing to tour devastated New Orleans because it cut into his important golf schedule.
  • Katrina was a natural disaster. The illegal alien surge is a crisis of Obama’s own making for refusing to enforce existing border control laws and dangling a Dream Act amnesty to lure illegal alien children to cross the border.
