In the February 22, primary debate in Austin, Texas Senator Clinton made her convictions clear. Clinton called the Border Fence “absurd” and falsely accused the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) of not listening to the locals and "cuting off" part of the University of Texas-Brownsville Campus.
Clinton remarked, “I think when both of us voted for this, we were voting for the possibility that where it was appropriate and made sense, it would be considered. But as with so much, the Bush Administration has gone off the deep end, and they are unfortunately coming up with a plan that I think is counterproductive." See Transcript After speaking with a DHS agent, I was enlightened by the truth. Which is that the DHS adopted plan does not cut the campus in half. The adopted plan runs along the Rio Grande River and it does not separate and building on campus. However, the plan does involve the back nine of a golf course. But much like a private country club, the golf course is gated and run by the city. The truth of the matter is that the DHS has been working with the locals and accommodating their needs from the beginning. DHS actually presented two plans simultaneously to the university. One plan did cut out part of the campus and separate a distant building from the main campus. However, the second plan (which was adopted) does not cut out the building and only involves the golf course.
According to the DHS official the university’s and DHS’s agreement was already in place when Hillary the debate took place. So this leads me to ponder the question…Did Hillary lie about the border fence issue to score political points or was she really that ignorant of the issue?
One wonders why Hillary was still complaining weeks after the issue had been resolved by the DHS and after she had personally visited the school and spoken with its president.The University of Texas website and other news articles confirm that the alternate plan was available to the public long before her statements were made.
It appears, the Sen. Clinton has told another half-truth or white lie, if you will. She has proven time and time again that to score political points she will say what is politically expedient, even if it is not true. Yet again Hillary Clinton is being a Clinton. | |||||||||||||||
