Clintons Live in Poverty – Gun Control vs Border Control
Clintons Live in Poverty – Gun Control vs Border Control
I’m not ‘truly well off’ compared to wealthiest Americans, says Hillary Clinton… despite multi-million dollar properties and personal fortune estimated at $100million
Hillary Clinton has been criticized for charging $200,000 speaking fees and saying she was broke in 2001, despite making $12 million that year
‘They don’t see me as part of the problem because we pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off – not to name names,’ Clinton said
The Clintons are the wealthiest living family to leave the White House,
The former secretary of state was critized earlier this month for saying she and husband Bill Clinton were ‘dead broke’ when they left the White House in 2001 – despite making $12 million that year.
And since leaving the Obama administration, Clinton has charged $200,000 on average for paid speeches.
However, she told the Guardian on Saturday that she doesn’t find her income level problematic because she and Bill pay ‘ordinary’ taxes.

Gun Reform
After a school teacher in the audience asked Clinton about high capacity magazines and assault weapons, the presumptive 2016 presidential candidate took the opportunity to go on an extraordinary anti-gun rant.
“I’m well aware that this is a hot political subject. And again, I will speak out no matter what role I find myself in But I believe that we need a more thoughtful conversation. We cannot let a minority of people – and it’s, that’s what it is, it is a minority of people – hold a viewpoint that terrorizes the majority of people,” said Clinton.
Clinton’s claim that only a “minority” of Americans oppose gun control is contradicted by a recent Rasmussen poll which found that 53% of Americans oppose stricter gun control laws and only 40% of likely voters back tighter firearms restrictions.
Clinton’s rhetoric is even more audacious than similar sentiments expressed by her ideological adversaries on the subject of the second amendment.
Last year video emerged of Eric Holder announcing a 1995 public relations campaign based around the attempt to “really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way.”
Hillary: We Can’t Let Gun Control Opponents Hold an Opinion That “Terrorizes” America
One of the five men accused in the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent whose death exposed a botched federal gun sting has been extradited to the United States.
Jesus Leonel Sanchez-Meza, also known as Lionel Portillo-Meza, was arraigned in federal court in Tucson on Wednesday. He was flown in from Mexico on Tuesday.
Sanchez-Meza is only the second of the suspects to face justice in the U.S. in the slaying of Brian Terry, who was killed after a shootout with the men near the U.S.-Mexico border on Dec. 14, 2010.

Border Patrol officials are swamped by the number of minors crossing illegally into the United States and frustrated that they can’t turn away known Mexican gang members.
Chris Cabrera, vice president of the National Border Patrol Council Local 3307 in the Rio Grande Valley, said that confirmed gang members in Mexico — including those from Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) — are coming into the country to be reunited with their families, National Review reported Friday.
“If he’s a confirmed gang member in his own country, why are we letting him in here? … I’ve heard people come in and say, ‘You’re going to let me go, just like you let my mother go, just like you let my sister go. You’re going to let me go as well, and the government’s going to take care of us,’” Mr. Cabrera told the magazine.
In one weekend, the U.S. Border Patrol prevented murder suspects, multiple sex offenders, and an MS-13 gang member from entering the interior of Texas after they illegally entered into the U.S. from Mexico. The arrests occurred in the Rio Grande Valley sector, ground zero of the current border crisis. The murder suspect was caught approximately 85 miles from the border in Texas, near the town of Falfurrias. He is a Guatemalan who is wanted for alleged murder in the State of Florida. Another of the arrests occurred near McAllen, Texas as a man from El Salvador who crossed the porous U.S.-Mexico border was determined to be an MS-13 gang member who had previously served ten years in prison for rape.
