Document drop: ICE memos open another door to illegal alien amnesty-by-fiat

By Michelle Malkin • June 22, 2011 10:22 AM

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.

Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas reveals in The New York Times Magazine that he’s lived in the United States for nearly 20 years as an illegal immigrant.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/26/magazine/my-life-as-an-undocumented-immigrant.html?pagewanted=1&_r=4

This article shows that ILLEGAL Aliens need co-conspirators to make it possible for them to stay in the United States.

Based on this article, the following people and organizations should be prosecuted for violating U.S. immigration laws:

- Jose Antonio Vargas – Illegal Alien
- DMV clerk in Mountain View CA
- New York Times
- Chris Suellentrop – New York Times Editor
- Subway (Sandwich chain)
- YMCA
- The Moutain View Voice
- Rich Fischer – Superintendent for Mountain View CA School District
- Pat Hyland – Principal of Mountain View High School
- Jill Denny – Choir Director at Mountain View High School
- San Francisco State University
- The San Francisco Chronicle
- The Philadelphia Daily News
- Jim Strand – Venture Capitalist
- The Washington Post
- Vargas’ friend’s father who lived in Portland Oregon and helped Vargas to get a driver’s license
- Mary Moore – Rich Fischer’s Assistant
- Portland Oregon DMV
- Peter Perl of the Washington Post
- Secret Service
- The Huffington Post
- The New Yorker
- Washington State DMV

We need to start specifically identifying those who are helping ILLEGAL Aliens to violate our immigration laws so that the risk of being identified starts to dry up these networks.

That each of the people named in this article gave Vargas permission to identify them by name shows that they are far too comfortable with the idea that there are no consequences for violating U.S. immigration laws.

But now due to the power of Google, their actions will go on their permanent record.

The same is true in here in Beaverton/Hilsboro, Oregon. But If there is anything at all good about the bad economy it’s that illegals are self deporting or a least going elsewhere.

In Hilsboro,Oregon many of the tiendas that catered to illegals have closed down. And the Hispanic supermarket across the street must be hurting as well. Their store front is now plastered with banners proclaiming in spanish “Now accepting food stamps!”

Even as Barky tries to allow illegals to stay, many are leaving. Evidently Mexico’s economy is growing faster than ours.

From what I understand, the PRC ivesting in Mexico has been a boon to its economy creating the jobs that US isn’t. And as a potential bonus, if the drug cartel proves to be a problem, the PRC won’t be handling it with the same sensitivy as we have. Trouble with that is the cartel will simply shift more of its operation to our side of the border.

Sure, Just your typical vote buying with our tax dollars. Making sure the Dems stay in power..been working for several years now in Mexifornia, but not much longer. The Central Valley has more illegals collecting welfare than working, as more farms and other businesses cease operation. After Mexifornia is destroyed the roaches will have to move on to other states or go back home.

We can fully expect more “I’m an illegal alien, and I’m coming out” type stories like Jose Antonio Vargas, illegal alien journalist, to be more commonplace, with more illegal aliens feeling emboldened by the issuance of the new policies and practically daring ICE/the Administration to come after them. The media will be swimming in “I’m illegal and I’m here and it’s not fair…” stories. I fully expect that many illegals who exercized their right to full due process by appealing for years and finally have lost, and fugitive illegals with deportation orders will be staging press conferences in hopes of now benefiting from the new policies with a free pass or get out jail free card.

Sadly, I don’t think it will be long before an illegal alien commits a significant crime that will command national media attention. And almost certainly it will be determined (but likely not publicized) that it could have been prevented had he/she been properly identified, arrested and deported in accordance with Secure Communities…but was not because ensuring that illegal aliens can live illegally in this country without fear of arrest or inconvenience, or because of unverified or wildly distorted rumors created by those same illegal aliens trumps the rights of everyone else. Or was instead allowed to walk free because new policy states that merely their illegal status, or their convictions were just not “serious” enough to allow ICE to identify or arrest them.

True that.

The other problem with the old landmark restaurants going out of business is the ever increasing Oregon minimum wage. Quality of service and food are down, prices way up. Really, I just stay home a lot more these days and cook for the wife. (I do the cooking, she’s Asian and doesn’t know how to even cook rice!)

The Donation page on Vargas’ web site says:

Define American is a project of the Tides Center, a nonprofit, public charity.

ActivistCash.com provides a good description of the Tides Center:

Now comes the Tides Foundation and its recent offshoot, the Tides Center, creating a new model for grantmaking — one that strains the boundaries of U.S. tax law in the pursuit of its leftist, activist goals.

Set up in 1976 by California activist Drummond Pike, Tides does two things better than any other foundation or charity in the U.S. today: it routinely obscures the sources of its tax-exempt millions, and makes it difficult (if not impossible) to discern how the funds are actually being used.

Just one more way to scam American taxpayers.

Deport Jose Antonio Vargas NOW!

That’s right…what do you have when you find a newly-arrived MS-13 now comfortably settled in his new homeland, who doesn’t have any major felony criminal convictions (yet?) And he denies the multiple “13″ and “MS” tattoos indicate gang membership…they are just his mother’s initials and his favorite number? Maybe just a lil ol’ illegal entry; why, that’s not enough – that’s not even a crime to some in this Administration! Maybe a little identity theft, forgery, theft…nope, all “non priorities” if he gets the right attorney or advocate to demand ICE ensure he remains free and on the streets because he has a few relatives here (illegally or not); he claims to want to pursue “higher education;” or has fathered a child – or 8; and maybe one of his baby mamas is nursing.

Or maybe he is a union member who just got fired for working illegally, and is suing his employer; or is suing his landlord for discrimination ousting him and his 63 friends from his 1-BR apartment; or he claims that the conditions in his country just aren’t up to the standards to which he is now accustomed. All these scenarios, according to the new policies, are reasons ICE could decide not to detain nor deport, and could very well trump things like documented gang membership or a criminal history, or an ignored deportation order. Maybe a little far-fetched, but you get the point. (technically its not “citizenship,” just the “right” to remain in the US without interference by ICE.)

Census shows whites lose US majority among babies

Jun 23, 6:40 AM (ET)
By HOPE YEN
WASHINGTON (AP) – For the first time, minorities make up a majority of babies in the U.S., part of a sweeping race change and growing age divide between mostly white, older Americans and predominantly minority youths that could reshape government policies.

Preliminary census estimates also show the share of African-American households headed by women – made up of mostly single mothers – now exceeds African-American households with married couples, a sign of declining U.S. marriages overall but also continuing challenges for black youths without involved fathers.The findings, based on the latest government data, offer a preview of final 2010 census results being released this summer that provide detailed breakdowns by age, race and householder relationships such as same-sex couples.

Demographers say the numbers provide the clearest confirmation yet of a changing social order, one in which racial and ethnic minorities will become the U.S. majority by midcentury.

Yes, but Obama has no intention of following existing immigration law. If he did, he would have complied with existing immigration law himself.

All employees, citizens and noncitizens, hired after November 6, 1986 and working in the United States must complete a Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.

Where is Obama’s Form I-9? Nothing that Obama has produced would be considered “Acceptable documentation” by a Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. URLs, JPGs, and PDFs are not on the list of “Acceptable documentation”.

Brooklyn had an under count of 80,000. The CB can’t even get the count accurately.

This country and it’s citizens has been completely subverted now without a shot being fired. Amazing that this is how it all ends, with zero resistance. I blame the cultural marxists that destroyed the culture through the television set. It is just as Orwell predicted, 85% of the idiots can be completely controlled through propaganda and contrived entertainment.

Welcome to Oceania in 1984. It might look a little different but the results are the same. A nation full of people who’s entire reality is made up of a complex web of lies, half truths, and manufactured celebreties. Enjoy the decline sheeple, hope you’re happy with of those New World Order Con Job Repuclican Presidential Candidates cause that’s all your gonna get.

Happy, don’t get discouraged yet about the census data. I’ve been following the data and methodology for a number of years. How valid is the data when individuals select their own race? How many didn’t answer that question? I didn’t.There was a time when Italians were not considered white.

You could be right. And the ONLY reason I am concerned is NOT because of skin color, but because of the culture shift that is occuring, as I highlighted in my post. We all know that the black culture of single mothers and no father figure in the family is very bad for the moral fiber of our country. And white people are not the only ones concerned. Bill Cosby and many others have spoken out about this.

Social scientists, who use the CB data, don’t believe that the break up of the black family creates problems for blacks as much as racism does. They don’t believe Cosby. Social scientists are almost always liberal and they rotate from academia to the CB and back again. The former CB director,Prewitt, went to Columbia and now is the President of COSSA, the largest social science lobby group.

It boils down to race and only race. Illegals are not welcomed because of their race not because they came illegally. We only want to punish anchor babies and deny an education to children of other illegals because of their race. We need to give mortgages to people when they were refused not because they couldn’t afford the homes, but because of their race. Whites are successful and have jobs not because they worked hard and have skills, but because they are hired by racist bosses. So libs believe that the world will be a better place without whites controlling things and when the gov takes care of all those victims of racism. We can just hear those social scientist and minority rights groups celebrating. Not enforcing deportations show that those groups are winning the fight against racism. Forget what the founding fathers said, the rule of law and border security because everything contributed to institutional racism.

Historical bit of trivia: 1557 years ago yesterday, Aetius, the Last Roman, was murdered.

Whenever the topic of illegal alien invaders comes up, I always think of 5th century Rome…

I misread: it was September 22nd, not June 22nd. That’ll teach me to skim rather than scan…

No, they don’t, because they want to replace “citizens” with slaves… What better way to do that than with people with a colonized mindset who are already used to life as slaves…

Wake up sheeple, this the real issue behind illegal immigration, this is why they leave the border wide open, Idiots! Figure it our already, your demise is already written as far as the One Party System is concerened. I gaurantee if any of these con jobs now running for pres, are elected (except for maybe Cain and Bachman,) they will be pushing the exact same thing as BHO in regards to this issue and many others as well. Just remeber McCain.
