Document drop: ICE memos open another door to illegal alien amnesty-by-fiat
We knew it was coming.
I’ve warned for years about illegal alien amnesty by executive fiat and the backdoor sabotage of immigration enforcement by this administration — and every one preceding it over the last two decades. I’ve also reported on how Congress issues individual deportation waivers to illegal aliens. And I’ve spotlighted the deadly “13 strikes you’re out” policies of border-state prosecutors.
On Friday, in another trademark Obama document dump, ICE issued a memo that pushes the perpetually-rejected DREAM Act for illegal alien students. As immigration lawyer Michelle Scopellite explained to me: “In essence, what this means is that if someone, is not a major criminal and is in removal proceedings, ICE officers are now to release them or terminate proceedings if they are involved in a lawsuit or fighting for union ideals. This appears to be another attempt by the Obama admin. to side-step immigration law through administrative acts. My partner and I are just returning from the AILA conference where, we were more than likely, the only Republicans in attendance and the director of DHS and the ICE Director, both discussed this memo and it received rave reviews from the liberal wing of AILA.” There are actually two documents in the hopper, a more detailed six-page prosecutorial discretion memo and shorter policy summary:
Read the documents for yourselves right here:
Prosecutorial Discretion Morton Second Memo June 17 2011
Prosecutorial Discretion Morton Memo June 17 2011
Here are the categories that Morton flags for “particular care and consideration” — e.g., amnesty:
* the person’s length of presence in the United States, with particular consideration given to presence while in lawful status;
* the circumstances of the person’s arrival in the United States and the manner of his or her entry,particularly if the alien came to the United States as a young child;
* the person’s pursuit of education in the United States, with particular consideration given to those who have graduated from a U.S. high school or have successfully pursued or are pursuing a college or advanced degrees at a legitimate institution ofhigher education in the United States;
* whether the person, or the person’s immediate relative, has served in the U.S. military, reserves, or national guard, with particular consideration given to those who served in combat;
* the person’s criminal history, including arrests, prior convictions, or outstanding arrest warrants;
* the person’s immigration history, including any prior removal, outstanding order of removal, prior denial of status, or evidence offraud;
* whether the person poses a national security or public safety concern;
* the person’s ties and contributions to the community, including family relationships;
* the person’s ties to the home country and
* the person’s age, with particular consideration given to minors and the elderly;
* whether the person has a U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse, child, or parent;
* whether the person is the primary caretaker of a person with a mental or physical disability, minor, or seriously ill relative; ;
* whether the person or the person’s spouse is pregnant or nursing;
* whether the person or the person’s spouse suffers from severe mental or physical illness;
* whether the person’s nationality renders removal unlikely;
* Whether the person is likely to be granted temporary or permanent status or other relief from removal, including as a relative of a U.S. citizen or permanent resident;
* whether the person is likely to be granted temporary or permanent status or other relief from removal, including as an asylum seeker, or a victim of domestic violence, human trafficking, or other crime; and
* whether the person is currently cooperating or has cooperated with federal, state or local law enforcement authorities, such as ICE, the U.S Attorneys or Department of Justice, the Department of Labor, or National Labor Relations Board, among others.
More from Kris Kobach via Neil Munro:
“They’re pushing the [immigration] agents to be even more lax, to go further in not enforcing the law,” said Kris Kobach, Kansas’ secretary of state. “At a time when millions of Americans are unemployed and looking for work, this is more bad news coming from the Obama administration… [if the administration] really cared about putting Americans back to work, it would be vigorously enforcing the law,” said Kobach, who has helped legislators in several states draft local immigration-related laws.
…The primary document was the six-page “prosecutorial discretion” memo, which provided new reasons for officials to not deport illegal immigrants.
“When weighing whether an exercise of prosecutorial discretion may be warranted for a given alien, ICE officials, agents and attorneys should consider all relevant factors, including, but not limited to – the circumstances of the person’s arrival in the United States … particularly if the alien came to the United States as a young child; the Person’s pursuit of education… .. whether the person, or the person’s immediate relative, has served in the U.S. military,” said the memo.
“The factors are extremely broad and very troubling … [it] look like a stealth DREAM Act enforcement through non-enforcement,” said Kobach.
The deportation abyss deepens again.
Remember: It ain’t over ’til the alien wins.

If I had hair I’d pull it out.
Invasion!
These democrats are bound and determined to “fundamentally change America” for the worse whether we the people like it or not…
The border States need to reappropriate their National Guard and tell the Federal Government to pound sand.
Obama is corrupt and an anti-white racist.
What?
What does nationality have to do with the likelihood of removal (deportation)?
Shouldn’t an illegal Canadian be just as likely to be deported as an illegal El Savatoran, or an illegal Uzbek?
If they are here illegally, they are illegal. If they have children while here, they can take them with them when deported.
Sorry if I sound like a hard a$$, but the taxes I have paid and the military time I served were intended to benefit my offspring – not some sorry SOB’s that refuse to make their own world civilized enough that they can prosper there.
I see this as an effort to recruit some grateful voters in the next election.
With the independents shifting to the right, blacks and students not too excited, and ACORN out of business, they’re going to need every vote they can scrape together.
Out of curiosity, is it possible for the states to have their National Guard units perform their exercises and such along the border? I can’t imagine that drug runners would be willing to engage them. What is the legality of this?
Citizens getting the short end of the stick again.
No plans to fix the system as a whole, only granting amnesty to those who will be voting for dems.
The problem with that is that our folk are armed, but have no ammo or “permission” to return fire. My oldest daughter did 6 months on the AZ border.
She feared everyday they would encounter armed and loaded resistance… I told her I was glad I no longer wear the uniform.
I would not be able to comply.
In regards to the immigration lawyer that told MM if you are “involved in a lawsuit or fighting for union ideals” you can stay.
Being on my phone I am not able to access the links but from the ‘flags’ MM noted in the post, those aren’t listed. The ‘flags’ sound reasonable. Now if one of the items listed was “in a union” or “suing someone” that would be unreasonable for the person to stay.
I know this is a really really stupid question, but how in the name of goodness is this legal? How can bho just do whatever he dang well pleases by the eo pen? Gads, I detest bho!
L
Fighting for Union Ideals seems like a major crime to me… at least for public service unions.
We used to have a name for that and laws against it… think it sounded like racketeering or sumthin’
Whoa.. this site is starting to look like an eye chart. Hope we aren’t getting a hack attack.
This has to be under the personal direction of Nappy, fits her mindset to a “t.”
The only solution seems to be each state becomes an “Arizona” and procede with a 1070 law. Flood every ICE office, if you have to have illegal foriegn nationals dumped in their lobbies, and film the feds just releasing them.
Optics, optics, optics. Since bad PR seems to be the only thing they pay attention to.
Yah think? We all know which party will benefit from the grateful votes of this massive wave of new citizens to ensure perpetual power forever. Certainly some current members of the GOP will personally benefit from supporting this as well.
I know this is a really really stupid question, but how in the name of goodness is this legal? How can bho just do whatever he dang well pleases by the eo pen?
This isn’t legal, and up to now BHO can do as he pleases because he gets full public support from his own party and no one else is stopping him. That simple.
No. If they are here illegally, SEND ‘EM HOME!
Wish more people and pols took this to heart; Each illegal alien “job” is a black American on welfare with less family pride to exceed and be self-sufficient. You want to kill two birds with one stone, then deport ALL illegal aliens. NONE of them is justified. There are blacks who DO want to work doing ANYTHING.

I have nothing against LEGAL immigration, but those coming ILLEGALLY have broken the law and need to be deported. Good grief!
As I mentioned in another thread, I believe that is one part of the plan of our elite political class, to deliberately flood the with third world immigrants and fundamentally transform the USA, with an EO making everyone legal, which will lead to a tsunami of immigration.
These new citizens are coming from countries of political and class oppression, are used to it, beaten down by it, have given up to it, and are less likely to resist it, will often blindly give their vote to the party it it is indoctrinated to believe that best represents their interests, true or not, making it easier for our political elite class to perpetually dominate while creating conditions for full socialism to take root in the USA.
Send them all back. If they want to come in to work, make them show that they have a job waiting. No family can come in with them. Must register each year. Must return at least once every two years and re-enter. If they lose the job they have to leave. No benefits.
Looks like we need another pledge for GOP candidates to sign or get hung for dodging.
Who’s going to stop him? Eric Holder?
Even if the Republican-controlled House takes up the challenge, without the cooperation of the Democrat-controlled Senate there can be no effective congressional opposition. True, it’s possible to head off some forms of executive overreach by defunding the agency involved, but when the purpose of the Executive Order is to not enforce the law, tightening the purse strings has no effect.
As they say, “Elections have consequences.” One of those consequences is that a man who is audacious enough in the face of a split opposition can indeed create an Imperial Presidency by Executive Order. The only real antidote is to repeal the president, and then to repeal his orders.
You should be concerned with legal immigration, as it stands now. Very liberal rules continue to allow 100,000 new legal immigrants per month to come here including those allowed in by way of “temporary” work visas (a progam that is abused and far too many of the workers do not go back home), refugees, and those granted political asylum, many of whom will be given taxpayer funded financial support.
Does the USA really need that many legal immigrants when we have such high domestic unemployment and an economy teetering on the brink of disaster?
We need either a moritorium on legal immigration and “temporary” work visas or have it drastically scaled back.
Thanks for not taking up my question. I get that most everyone on this site thinks there should be zero tolerance on illegal immigration (even if a person came here 40 years ago with their parents as a baby, or served in the military, or is the only care-taker for an ailing family member). I get it. I disagree, but I fully understand the position.
I just don’t get why MM would post the comment from the immmigration lawyer that doesn’t relate to anything mentioned in this post. Seems like an odd statement to include. There is nothing in the documents that says anything about ‘union ideals’ or being ‘involved in lawsuits’ as something that will allow you to stay in the U.S..
MM said:
So like what… D&D? DUI? B&E? Ahem, I’ll take a swag. Known Gang Affiliate! The Exemptions & Considerations are SO inclusive ( basically they’d apply to anyone! )
I’m ok with them becoming US citizens if they served in the military… as long as it was OUR military.
What would really, really help here would be for the legal Mexican immigrants (who do NOT support amnesty for illegals) in CA to remind people that Cesar Chavez’ famous march from Sacramento to the Mexican border was to protest ILLEGAL immigration. Maybe the Tea Party could organize an anniversary march in honor of Cesar Chavez. Man, would that throw the libs for a loop. It would also very likely be violent when the MeCha, La Raza, SEIU, ANSWER, and other communist groups that show up at all the May 1 marches decide to get involved.
WOT but this is really shocking. CNBC just conducted an online poll asking whether we have confidence in Bernanke and with participation through the roof, 98% said “no”. You can’t even get 98% of people to agree that puppies are cute so something has to give.
Another crack in the phony facade that the establishment insists on presenting to us in lieu of the truth.
Here’s the link on that CNBC poll.
Of course the ICE agents will be demanding to see Form DD-214 verification on any and all claims being made!
“Here are the catagories that Morton flags for particular care and consideration – the person’s length of presence in the United States, with particular consideration given to presence while in lawful status” Uh – they are here illegally. They have had no time here while in lawful status. Apparently no one in this administration knows what the word illegal means.
Since ICE is obviously never going to do the job they were created for, let’s defund and fire each and every employee in that organization. What good are they? They want the illegals in this country, let’s see if they are willing to give up their jobs for that cause! Shut ICE down!
That’s not necessarily true.
People here that have over-stayed their visas are here illegaly, but were here for some time lawfully.
At what point do we bein to prosecute bureaucrats and elected officials who wilfully obstruct and/or sidestep the law? Congress has to drop the hammer on these scofflaws, including the chief initiator: the President.
Lord… “Particular Consideration” has got to be entered into the MM Glossary Of Fabricated & Abusive Prog Terminolgy!
Well, at least given particular consideration?
Am I the only one who thinks Huntsman is the poster boy for elitist? Or dilettante?
He was born into money. Dropped out of school to play in a band. Has a BS in International Politics. Served as ambassador for Obama.
He just reminds me of the stereotypical smarmy, used-car salesman. My apologies to used-car salesmen everywhere.
Hey is it true Sarah Palin is Failin to complete her bus tour, guess she got deported to Alaska.
Oops! Wrong thread!
My apologies.
The people that hire illegals should be in the cell next to the illegal they hired.
Geez! i just read the memo. It gives “consideration” to anyone and everyone. Pregnant women, people with serious medical and mental issues……and people wonder why we are broke? About the only thing in it that I agreed with was consideration being given to the close family, like spouse and kids only in my opinion, to military members. Other than that it is a “Welcome to the U.S.” memo.
Part of the paperwork involving a visa states that you will not overstay your time. Perjury, perhaps?
Boy, I have never seen an administration like Barack Obama’s try so hard to find every possible loophole to protect illegal aliens and help them circumvent the law to enter/remain in the United States and continue to receive free benefits and thus help gobble up taxpayer dollars needed by genuine United States Citizens who pay them out of their pockets to the U.S. Treasury just to see them disappear into a government black hole. With presidents like Barack, who needs enemies? Maybe if our president wasn’t expending so much energy and so many billions of our dollars protecting illegal aliens and suing our own states, citizens, and private industries, then maybe he would find the time to concentrate on fixing the economy. But, then again, with so many Air Force One trips to take, so many golf games, so many useless world conferences to attend, so many parties to enjoy, so many vacations to go on, so many campaign trips to plan, so many useless speeches to make, so many ________(fill in the blank), well, he is just too dam busy I guess.
My goodness, you are a silly silly person. He studied ‘International’ Politics. He hates America! I can’t believe he’d educate himself on foregin affairs and global relations. No Presidential candidate should ever know anything outside of the American political landscape.
What is next? Your faux outrage that he uses pencils made in China? HOW UNAMERICAN.
wow, where to begin? if this is not another example of why obama needs to be impeached, when you add to it the drilling ban, the doma non enforcement, the nlrb forcing unions on businesses, obamacare, eric holder not going after thugs, when will congress wakeup!!!
These enablers are traitors to America, and should be dealt with accordingly.
Giving away our money, our sovereignty, and our future to the non-citizenry and their offspring is not an American Dream. It is another American Citizen Nightmare foisted upon on us by liberals who hate our country, but love our money.
The progresssives so love these policies, maybe we should enact a law (once we have the numbers,) that would make any such proposals urged on by the left, be paid for solely by the left’s population of liberals, progressives, socialists, and communists, and not taken out of public funds.
Let’s see how long their ideas would last then.
Many of the illegal foriegn nationals that I care for in the hospital suffer from that particular disease called alcoholism. Weekend partying in other words.
Under these guidelines they get to stay.
Warning: awful joke(?) to follow:
An illegal immigrant picks up a hooker. “Hey, how much you charge for da hour, sister?” he asks.
“$ 100″ she replies.
In broken English, he says, “Do you do immigrant style?”
“No” she says.
“I pay you $200 to do immigrant style.”
“No,” she says, not knowing what immigrant style is.
“I pay you $300.”
“No,” she says.
“I pay you $400.”
“No,” she says.
So finally he says, “OK, I pay $1,000 to do immigrant style.”
She thinks, “Well, I’ve been in the game for over 10 years now.
I’ve had every kind of request from weirdoes from every part of the world.
How bad could immigrant style be?”
So she agrees.
Finally, after several hours, they finish.
Exhausted, the hooker turns to him and says,
“Hey, I was expecting something perverted and disgusting.
But that was ok. So, what exactly is immigrant style?”
The illegal immigrant replies, “You send bill to Government.”
AND THAT MY FRIENDLY TAXPAYERS, IS EXACTLY WHAT THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE DOING TO US!
Bogtrotter said:
Worse, it coaches Illegals on which/what/who/whatever particular consideration they might want to self-appoint to themselves.
So many to chose from! As with the Nightmare Act itself, their “military service” exemption is largely straw.
Yeah, tell it to this guys family.
Thank you, it has been quite a while since I have borrowed such a bad joke, my patients(carefully selected) will love it!
This is better
Pay closer attention to the phrasing….there are exceptions at times.
ICE said:
The reason I’m calling straw on this, why not just say “with particular consideration given to those who rec’d The Medal Of Honor” ( Purple Heart, Navy Cross..? ) Nobel Peace Prize while we’re at it!
It wouldn’t apply in 99.9999% of the cases. But casually thrown in for effect.
It’s long been a theory of mine that Mexico is trying to assimilate the southwestern USA back into Mexico. Now we have a Government that is helping them do it.
Ahem, ( and the site’s a bit finicky today? ) as with ALL vets, we appreciate their service and sacrifice.
However: As I’m sure MM would concur, that is NO grounds on which to base blanket amnesty, “Amnesty by Fiat” nor any other form of Shamnesty.
Let’s be honest here, that’s what democrats are doing to America, they hate America or why would they want to change her?
They just fill pages and pages of words and rules, on and on, ad nauseum, like the obamacare bill. I guess they continue to assume no one will read all that crap. You know, the old, “overwhelm them with bs” ploy. Times have changed, regressives!! We now have patriots who are reading AND ACTING ON every dang thing you write. Transparency? You got it!! Please please please, can we get the torches, pitchforks, tar and feathers out now? Millions of patriots are ready to roll.
Its a theory shared by many. Take legal immigration, add the continuing illegal alien invasion from our neighbor just across the border, anchor babies and higher birthrates among the more recent immigrants, attracted to and expanding communites where spanish is the first language where they can more easily blend, resistance to assimilating to the english language and US culture all add up to an envisioned by some cultural takeover of at least part of the US southwest just out of sheer numbers.
Whether it leads to a reconquest by Mexico or a splintering of the southwest into a seperate and independent entity is yet to been seen if it is seen at all and quite speculative.
Here is the thing about military service and foreing nationals. Many foregin nationals are serving in our military as a way to speed up the process of the legal immigration to the US. They can even request legal status for their family memebers to live in US or whatever country the service member is stationed. So why would they have to enter the country illegally? Could it be perhaps that they have other reasons they would be denied? If a foreign national had their family members illegally in the country it could be detrimental to their own immigration process, so it would be in their best interest not to do so.
couldn’t agree more, fines would never be set high enough to have an effect on the hiring. Don’t want to forget their good friends in congress are there to help.
we need to look at legal as well as illegal immigration. Legal or other wise thousands come into the country monthly and take jobs from Americans, these work visa winners…jobs are jobs take by legal or illegal immigrants. the country needs to stop all immigration until this whole immigration process and problems associated with it can be worked out for the betterment of American citizens, PERIOD.
Save you breath and ink calling me a racist, but if you do, PROVE IT or STFU.

The “handwriting on the wall” was real clear to me when I saw Comrade Obama (Que Dios Le Bendiga!) standing next to Mexico’s El Presidente Calderon in front of our Congress a year ago. Taking the side of the ILLEGAL ALIENS (aka “undocumented immigrants”) against the economic and security interests of the United States of America. Trashing our country again.
***
“You have been judged and found wanting!” was the wall message to the evil King. Send the Good Comrade a 2500 year newer message in the November 2012 election. I want to hear “wailing and gnashing of (communist) teeth” in January 2013 as they move into the darkness.

And before any of the usual suspects start up with the whole “they are just doing jobs Americans wont do” take a look at this:
Ah, yes, those in positions that permit the conditions in which illegals are allowed to be hired should be in the third cell over.
Well, actually they are just doing the jobs Americans won’t do….at much lower wages paid, with fewer, if any, benefits, under poorer working conditions often in which an American citizen will expose. Illegals often cant risk that in balancing the abuse for pay and being kicked off the job for speaking out. Yup, Americans won’t do jobs under those conditions.
And lets not forget the Americans that are feeding at the government trough.
If they can get by on the taxpayer’s dollar, why work? At all.
You can’t make this stuff up!!
The System worked! Or at least it did for Mr. Porter. No big, he can always claim he shouldn’t be deported b/c his great uncle was a cabin steward on the USS Hopenchange ( CVN I-1 )
Not to mention illegals that steal identity so that they can steal good jobs away from legal residents and citizens…and a government that works to prevent employers from using a system designed to expose fraudulent workers and laywers and organizations representing ethnic groups (La Raza and CAIR for example)screaming “racism and profiling” threating to sue employers to discourage them from trying to do what is right.
A long line of actions on the part of Obama and his administration shows that he is a dictator and we no longer have a system of checks and balances. Will no one do anything about this?? What is the recourse of we the people??? It is hard to keep myself from despair.
Here is what a sheriff in AZ is saying about the fires in the state. Sound like it might be the truth?

So a person with a severe illness who can’t pass a physical to get into the country legally can sneak across the border illegally and we won’t deport them. That makes a lot of sense. Let’s announce to the world that if they can get their HIV and cancer patients across our porous borders, we’ll take care of them all for free.
Until we can vote the Obama Administration out of office in 2012, we need to be doing everything we can to stop ILLEGAL immigration at the State and Local levels.
I saw one sign of hope in today’s news:
Of course, a rational person could ask why all government agencies aren’t ALREADY using the E-Verify system, but at least San Diego County is making progress now.
Action Item: Find out if the government agencies in your area are using E-Verify and apply pressure if they are not.
Makes sense. Diversion for drawing away and keeping authorities away from other areas of their activity.
They are at war with the USA, and our government refuses to acknowledg it, while the WH are acting as accomplices and allies to the Cartel.
Sure.
A couple of points.
One, I noticed that consideration of criminal records is about half-way down the list, instead of at the top.
Two, maybe we are not that far away from the renaming of the Dept of Homeland Security to “Mi Casa Es Su Casa” as I wrote about back in 2009 at Pundit Pete.
You can count on the usual organizations to attempt to legally block this action as “racially motivated” and an “illegal act of profiling”.
Minorities, women and children most negatively affected.
Louie, if you can’t find something in that Santa’s List to suit your needs, wants, desires/agenda ( maybe they should be deported? )
I’ve read mutual fund prospectuses that weren’t as lengthy or inclusive. It’s as if LaRaza lawyers themselves authored it.
Does that mean that a couple facing deportation can beat each other up and have their deportation proceedings terminated?
If they paid a coyote to smuggle them across the border, are they victims of “human trafficking”?
If they were forced by gangs to bring drugs across the border with them, are they a victim of a crime? And if they continue to work for drug gangs, do they continue to get a pass because they were once victims of a crime?
If citizens got a pass from law enforcement for the same lame reasons, no one would ever be convicted of a crime. This administration wants to give illegals more rights than citizens.
don’t worry, soon the country will collapse, and everyone will be trying to get the hell out of the fascist state that we are quickly becoming.
I’m sure they did.
Guess who else has been hiring at least one illegal alien….
Papa Louie said:
Good question. We’ll have Team Obama’s crack staff of legal analysts get on that right away! ( Excellent point my friend ) La Raza hates you!
All the above can mean deportation proceedings can be delayed, indefinately, pending trying and resolving cases in court of which such victims are retained as material witnesses, I believe, some of whom may stand to gain financially, if possible, beyond the criminal aspect of the trials of those accused of violating their human rights.
Many of them get to stay here because of the real fear of persecution, retribution or worse in thier nation of origin for their actions in “ratting out” influencial fellow nationals and getting them sent to prison here.
I’m surprised there isnt a ban on the use or operation of “white vans” in here since the sight of a white van in a Hispanic neighborhood seems to spark more fears and rumors and wild allegations of children and babies being scooped up by gun-toting ICE agents, and “disappearing” them a la a Central American banana republic, than anything else.
Clearly this was written by and for the advocates that are now snugly entrenched deep within ICE, with zero input by those with law enforcement experience. I guess this is the stealth amnesty that lets everybody and anybody stay, whther just to remain in an illegal status, or with deferred action? So much for the G trying to cut costs and save money, as this will create an explosion of work like never before seen in this agency, with attorneys calling and demanding the release of aliens, return of aliens already removed, dismissals of cases, court logjams and sheer paperwork.
Finally, while it’s a sort of amnesty by fiat, none of these people ICE is now to release or ignore will still actually have any legal status or authorization to work…but they will be free to roam about the US. Until they actually commit a “real” crime.
They figure if they stall enforcement long enough, the anchor babies will have enough votes to keep the Dems in office forever.
Let them have their protests. It will use up some of their time and money. And real Americans are getting so tired of these protests that the protests are rapidly becoming counter-productive.
In the meantime, requiring ALL Government agencies to use the E-Verify system is just plain common sense.
When the gov can’t make those welfare payments because there is no more taxing, printing and borrowing their way to reelection, even the anchor babies will leave. The dems just don’t want to fix immigration when they think they can control it for their own advantage. These “raids” are nothing more than faux law enforcement. Did the dems construct F&F to kill to birds with one stone? Attack the 2nd amendment and increase the flow of illegals north because of increased killing? Govs should be careful what they create because it comes back to bite them.
Regretably, they won’t run out of Soro’s money or ours (many of these organizations receive taxpayer subsidies). While the protests may be counter-productive at many levels, they still get the awareness of the federal government, and the current WH is aligned with their agenda.
and they often find friend in the courts that will rule in their favor.
Just so the left can give a sympathetic face to the acceptance of illegal invaders, from a heatwarmking, tear invoking, story breaking today:
I agree with “letget” #9 BHO is simply acting as if he were King and doing whatever he likes while Congress sits there like eunuchs. They should be trying to block him or de-fund anything he tries to end run with. Jerry USMC (Ret)
I’m beginning to believe most of the DC GOP leadership don’t really want to do anything to him, the wimps fear the backlash, if they aren’t, in fact liking what he’s doing. Those in the GOP that aren’t playing along with him are just playing nice and hoping he goes away in 2013, wimps and weasels galore!
It’s the usual tale of Americas unfairness to one that is only seeking a better life… Somewhere Mothers cry, old veterans remove their hats, dogs mournfully howl, and in the distance, you can hear the strings of woeful violins. Cry me a river.
Jose Vargas’ story doesn’t make me sympathetic for him, his family, or his situation. He KNEW, his family KNEW, lots of people KNEW he was breaking the law…in a variety of ways….uh, like identity theft? Since when did We The People start to believe that some laws are okay to break and others are not. The other side of the story is what if Vargas was a muslim sympathizer who USED the opportunities of the uniqueness of America to further his cause. This whole “Pulitzer Prize” winning writer is bogus from the get-go. He gets NOTHING from me. Other countries are allowed to enforce their immigration laws without criticism and WE in the U.S. are not?? Bad enough LEGAL immigration is a disaster, but we are compounding it with this disgusting lack of enforcement for ILLEGAL ALIENS.
But, but how can we fundamentally transform the USA by actually enforcing immigration laws? That would be terribly inhuman!
