    Border agents ordered to help some undocumented immigrants stay in U.S.

    SAN DIEGO — Their job is to secure the border, find those trying to cross illegally into the U.S., apprehend them and send them back where they came from — but some border agents say that role may be changing.

    Members of the Border Patrol Union told Fox 5 the Obama Administration is now asking agents to check undocumented immigrants for eligibility to the president’s executive action on immigration — known as deferred action — before processing a deportation.

    “That’s the antithesis of what we’re supposed to do,” said Christopher Harris with the Border Patrol Union.

    Harris said agents are also being told to review government files and identify any jailed immigrants who might qualify.

    Some agents fear the added role could become a distraction and have a negative impact on national security.

    “That’s not our job. Let us know, are we going to be Border Patrol agents or are we going to be security guards?” said Border Patrol Union spokesman Gabe Pacheco.

    But immigration activists welcome the changes, saying it will help reduce the number of families split by deportation.

    “Over 2 million families have been uprooted, devastated by deportation, so anytime that we’re able to prevent a deportation, anytime that we’re able to keep a family intact, together, living in their community, is a victory for us,” said Christian Ramirez, an immigration activist with Alliance San Diego.

    The Deferred Action Programs known as DACA or DAPA require immigrants to have a clean criminal record, work or [and] go to school in order to qualify.

    They were not "devastated by deportation". They may be mad they were deported and their US illegal job, tax credit and welfare gravy train is over, but that's not our fault. It's their fault for being here in the first place. They had no problem "uprooting" from their home countries, and their ride home on a deportation buggy is a lot nicer than their uproot journey in here was, so stop these false romantics and drama queen bull on behalf of people who were simply sent home where they belong because they sneaked in or overstayed a visa, took jobs, educations and welfare they weren't entitled to, committed all types of other violations of immigration, labor and civil rights laws by stealing jobs and businesses, sent our money out of the country, ran drugs, joined gangs, ran up our debt, swamped our schools and hospitals, and oh my god, the list is endless of all the negatives and harm they've caused our country.

    We owe these people nothing but a swift deportation out of here. They owe many Americans everything and all of US so much already it's a debt and cost they'll never be able to repay, so the ONLY RESPONSE to their presence here regardless of who they are, what else they've done, good or bad, is get them all out of here as quickly as possible and stop the harm they're all causing to Americans.
