Thread: Senator: Obama’s Amnesty Gives Illegals A Fast-Track To Voting Booth

Posted By Neil Munro On 3:29 PM 12/11/2014

President Barack Obama’s Nov. 21 amnesty puts millions of illegals on a fast-track to citizenship, Utah Sen. Mike Lee announced Thursday.

Obama and his administration “have cleared the pathway to citizenship for millions of people who have crossed our borders illegally,” Lee said in a Thursday speech on the Senate floor.

“They know what they have done, and it is illegal,” he added.

Obama’s amnesty allows illegals with U.S.-born children to briefly leave the country, perhaps for a business meeting in Canada, and then be given “advanced parole” by border officials that lets them legally return to the United States.

Once they have legally returned under “advanced parole,” they can be immediately sponsored for a green card and citizenship by their adult child, he said.

That process bypasses U.S. law that requires illegals to leave the country for 10 years before their U.S.-born adult children can sponsor them for citizenship, Lee said.

Lee spoke shortly before Republican House Speaker John Boehner tried to muscle through a 2015 budget that doesn’t bar federal spending to implement Obama’s amnesty.

The budget’s support for Obama’s amnesty is opposed by numerous GOP legislators and a significant slice of the GOP base.

Obama’s amnesty offers work permits, drivers’ licenses, Medicare and Social Security to five million illegals who have children with citizenship or green cards.

The five million could get citizenship via Obama’s new parole technique.

“The president claims that he is not changing this rule, but that’s exactly what he’s doing,” Lee said.

“So long as you have a business meeting in Toronto. you can get permission to leave and be paroled back into the country on your return … [and] once you do that. … You can get a green card and get citizenship,” Lee said.

The method is illegal, said Lee, because Congress has narrowly defined when the administration can offer “advanced parole” to foreigners, he said.

Parole can only be offered to people “only on a case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.”

These reasons include allowing a person without a visa to attend the imminent funeral of a relative, or to act as a witness in a trial, he said.

Obama’s plans to provide parole to many returning illegals “clearly violate U.S. law,” he said.

We'll do this for illegal aliens while our own citizens have no such collective relief from law enforcement? Really? Seriously? The more we learn about this nightmare the worst it is. I'm telling you all, if you all don't get behind the FairTax so we can shut down these phony 501 C 3 foreign political action groups posing as US "charities", we've only begun to see the worst case scenario these thieves and traitors have planned for US, the bottom-line of which is that there will be no more US.

FAIRTAX NOW! HR 25 in the US House of Representatives and S 122 in the US Senate. Come January, the HR 25 will still be HR 25 but S 122 number may change. At least that's the way it's been since 1999 when the bills are re-introduced every 2 years with each Session.

Mike Lee: Obama Is Opening A Backdoor For Illegal Immigrants To Become Citizens Instantly…



Via Washington Examiner:President Obama’s recently unveiled immigration scheme creates a new path for illegal immigrants and those who overstay their visas to become legal citizens nearly instantly, according to Utah Sen. Mike Lee.

Taking to the Senate floor Thursday to reveal the backdoor he said Obama is opening to millions more illegals beyond the parents of children here legally, the Republican said, “This is the danger of unilateral executive action.”

While the issue is complicated, Lee said that Obama’s plan would ease the requirement that those overstaying their visas must leave then try to enter again legally.

It would also provide a way for those here illegally to be waived into America without any punishment.

Lee said that the Obama plan would provide “advance parole” to illegals, putting them on the fast track to a green card and citizenship. That status has been difficult to get in the past.

Mike Lee: Obama opens backdoor for illegals to become citizens

BY PAUL BEDARD | DECEMBER 11, 2014 | 3:33 PM

Welcome. This June 25, 2014 photo shows a group of immigrants from Honduras and El Salvador who...President Obama’s recently unveiled immigration scheme creates a new path for illegal immigrants and those who overstay their visas to become legal citizens nearly instantly, according to Utah Sen. Mike Lee.

Taking to the Senate floor Thursday to reveal the backdoor he said Obama is opening to millions more illegals beyond the parents of children here legally, the Republican said, “This is the danger of unilateral executive action.”

While the issue is complicated, Lee said that Obama’s plan would ease the requirement that those overstaying their visas must leave then try to enter again legally.

It would also provide a way for those here illegally to be waived into America without any punishment.

Lee said that the Obama plan would provide “advance parole” to illegals, putting them on the fast track to a green card and citizenship. That status has been difficult to get in the past.

Now, however, he said that the president plans to ease the 3-10 year waiting period for those who leave then try to reenter legally by granting provisional waivers for entry. What’s more, in some cases illegals will be allowed to stay in the United States while waiting for those provisional waivers.

“What stands between these people and citizenship is the need to enter the country lawfully, which they can’t do until they leave, wait the period of time that Congress has set by law, and then and only then come back. The president claims that he’s not touching this rule, but that’s exactly what he’s doing,” said Lee.

“He’s doing it through a program called ‘advance parole,' ” said Lee, one of the GOP experts on the immigration laws.

“Advance parole is essentially a form of permission for an undocumented immigrant to travel outside the country and then return. When he gets back to the country and approaches the border, he presents an advance travel document to the border officials and they will parole him into the country.

“And what’s more, the president has announced if you leave the country under a grant of advance parole, the administration will treat you as though you had never left at all, meaning they will ignore the three-year or 10-year wait mandated by Congress for people who have come here unlawfully and then left the country. When that’s done, as it turns out, that illegal immigrant will suddenly become eligible to take advantage of a different way to become a citizen.”
