Obama plans Back-Door Amnesty for Illegal Aliens

Never mind the Constitutional requirement that the President must be a natural-born citizen of the United States...

.. According to Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), one of the reported 200 undocumented aliens who packed a Congressional Committee room just days before the Independence Day recess may be a future Commander-in-Chief.

You read that right. During a Senate hearing held last week on his so-called DREAM Act, a bill to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants that the American people have rejected time and again, Durbin asked for all the illegal aliens sitting in the room to stand up and be recognized.

It soon became apparent that Durbin had "salted" the audience with hundreds of undocumented immigrants who would be granted citizenship under his legislation. Durbin then stated: "When I look around this room, I see America's future, our doctors, our teachers, our nurses, our engineers, our scientists, our soldiers, our congressmen, our senators, and maybe our president." [Emphasis Ours]

When did breaking the laws of the United States become okay? When did it become acceptable for a member of the leadership in the United States Senate to reject the rule of law and recklessly ignore the plain language of the Constitution that he took an oath to support and defend?

One thing is certain... Congressional Democrats and the Obama Administration have put on a full court press to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens. And if Durbin's legislative efforts fail, Barack Obama has shown recently that he has no problem making it happen via executive fiat
(Read more below to learn how).

And it is up to the American people to stop this amnesty train in its tracks... right here and right now.

Obama's Declaring Amnesty Through Dictatorial Decree.

On June 17, 2011, Obama's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton issued a memo that effectively instructs ICE Field Office Directors, Special Agents-in-Charge and all Chief Counsels NOT to deport illegal aliens.

That's right. The memo instructs ICE agents to consider 19 factors when determining whether or not to deport an illegal alien.

Some of the factors to be considered include whether the illegal alien serves the community, has a job, cares for disabled, infirmed, or mentally challenged relatives, is pregnant or breast-feeding, was brought to the United States as a child, graduated from High School, has a relative in the U.S. military, National Guard or Reserves and whether the illegal alien a security risk.

In other words, essentially EVERY illegal alien qualifies for Amnesty... IF the alien isn't a security risk and the answer to any of the other questions above is "Yes," ICE officials are effectively directed NOT TO DEPORT. To hell with Congress... to hell with the rule of law... and to hell with the wishes of the people of the United States.

Senator David Vitter (R-LA) put the administration's actions and the renewed push for the DREAM Act in Congress into proper perspective: "The DREAM Act is a cover for the Obama administration's amnesty agenda and the Senate already rejected it in an up-or-down vote in last year's lame duck session. The administration has now taken their amnesty push to new levels by attempting to give DHS officials the ability to grant amnesty. Granting amnesty by administrative fiat on an overwhelmingly unpopular policy like the DREAM Act would be a slap in the face to the American taxpayers, and especially to legal immigrants."

The Heritage Foundation has condemned the Obama Regime as well: "On immigration policy, the Obama Administration has not even waited for congressional action before charting its own legislative course. In May, Democrats reintroduced the DREAM ACT ... But rather than waiting for Congress to act, officials at Obama's Department of Homeland Security have instructed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and attorneys to exercise 'prosecutorial discretion' for illegal immigrants...."

Heritage concludes: "Back-door amnesty for illegal aliens is at the top of the current Obama agenda!"

Barack Obama must be stopped. Congress MUST exercise its rightful authority to stop Obama's flagrant abuses of power and Congress will only act at your urging.

Barack Obama And His Liberal Cronies In Congress Have Simply Gone Too Far.

Referring to the fact that Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, the nation's chief immigration enforcement official, testified at Senator Durbin's DREAM Act hearing, Bob Dane, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, said the spectacle sends "a signal that one of the top law enforcement officials in the country is clearly... ignoring the rule of law."

Napolitano's presence at the hearing, together with that of hundreds of undocumented aliens, is "one of the most profound and outrageous juxtapositions we have ever seen in a public hearing," said Dane.

And even the ICE agents' union is speaking out in opposition to the ICE Memo, calling it a "law enforcement nightmare."

Chris Crane, President of the National ICE Council, which represents approximately 7,000 ICE agents, officers and employees, said, "This is just one of many new ICE policies in queue aimed at stopping the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws in the United States. Unable to pass its immigration agenda through legislation, the Administration is now implementing it through agency policy."

Crane added: "The desires of foreign nationals illegally in the United States were the framework from which these policies were developed. The result is a means for every person here illegally to avoid arrest or detention, as officers we will never know who we can or cannot arrest." [Emphasis Ours]

Make no mistake; Barack Obama believes he can get away with declaring amnesty for illegal aliens by executive decree. He believes that he can simply grab and execute powers he does not have because patriotic Americans will do nothing to stop him.

He's wrong! That's why our elected officials need to hear from real Americans like you. They need to know that you will not tolerate our laws being subverted, especially by the people who claim to represent us.

Enough Is Enough!

If all of that is not enough to convince you, beyond a reasonable doubt, what the Obama administration is attempting, then note this: According to a batch of emails obtained and released by the Houston Chronicle, senior officials at the Department of Homeland Security were engaged in a SECRET policy, hidden from the public and Congress, to voluntarily dismiss pending deportation cases and "selectively move against illegal immigrants."

According to The Daily Caller, "The batch of emails showed DHS officials selectively moving against illegal immigrants according to their enforcement priorities, voluntarily dismissing hundreds of deportation cases against illegals who had lived in the state for several years or who had very few crimes on their record. The rules were quietly dropped last August once their existence was reported by Texas media."

In a recent statement, Jessica Sandlin, press secretary for Senator John Cornyn, said, "It now appears that DHS attempted to mislead the public and Congress on its policy of directing dismissals of cases against criminal aliens." Sandlin continued, "After this failed attempt at stonewalling and obstruction of the public's right to know, the truth is now coming out."

The American people have repeatedly said "NO" to any and all legislation and executive actions that WILL lead to amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. Simply put, enough is enough!

We must take it upon ourselves to stop this madness right now. It is time for us, the American people, to make ourselves heard.

Tell them, in no uncertain terms, that Barack Obama's usurpation of power must not stand. The American people have said "No" to the so-called DREAM Act at least a half-dozen times and "No" means "No." The DREAM Act must not pass Congress. And Congress must exert its authority to prevent Barack Obama from instituting it through executive decree.
