    First group of delayed young deportees approved

    Tuesday, September 11, 2012 | Updated: Tuesday, September 11, 2012 9:10pm

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Just three week after the Obama administration started accepting applications from young illegal immigrants seeking to avoid deportation and get a work permit, the government already has approved some of the roughly 72,000 applications the government has received.

    The Homeland Security Department said Tuesday that a small group of applications has been approved and those immigrants are being notified this week about the decision. The department did not say how many applications had been approved.

    The first wave of approvals comes months head of DHS' own internal estimates of how long the application process for the administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program could take — and less than 60 days before the Nov. 6 elections. According to an internal DHS document obtained by The Associated Press, the department's Citizenship and Immigration Services had estimated that each application could take several months to be completed.

    "Following a thorough, individualized case review, USCIS has now begun notifying individuals of the determination on their deferral requests," DHS spokesman Peter Boogaard said in a statement. He said about 72,000 applications have been received since the program's Aug. 15 start.

    President Barack Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced on June 15 that young illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. before they turned 16, are 30 or younger, are high school graduates or are in college or have served in the military would be eligible to apply to avoid deportation for up to two years and get a work permit. The immigrants also could not have a serious criminal record.

    The policy change came just months before what is shaping up to be a tight presidential election. Wooing Hispanic and Latino voters has been considered key to helping Obama win a second term.

    The plan to halt deportations for as many as 1.7 million illegal immigrants closely mirrors the failed DREAM Act, a bill that would have provided a path to legalization for many of the same immigrants expected to benefit from the government' deferred action policy. The new policy does not provide legal status for the immigrants, but instead puts off possible deportation for up to two years.

    Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has not said what he would do with Obama's policy if he is elected. He has previously pledged to veto the DREAM Act should it cross his desk. DREAM stands for Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors.

    Republicans have uniformly criticized Obama's policy, as well as previous DHS decisions to stop deporting many illegal immigrants who do not have criminal records or otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.

    Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has derided the policy as "backdoor amnesty" and said he worried about fraud.

    Obama Administration Approves Deferred Deportation for First Group of Illegal Aliens

    A bold move to fast track amnesty for illegal aliens

    By Douglas J. Hagmann, Director

    When Barack Hussein Obama stated that his work is far from over, he meant it. He is not the meandering dolt as portrayed by some right-wing media pundits, but a dangerous Marxist dictator with powerful handlers at the helm who create the agenda for him to implement. A big part of that agenda includes providing permanent amnesty for individuals living in the U.S. illegally, resulting in the “Balkanization of America.”

    There are many on both sides of the political divide who assert that reinforcing our borders and actually implementing our immigration laws is impossible and impractical. Some deliberately confuse legal immigration with lawless illegal immigration, while the government purposely skews facts and figures about illegal immigration to push for blanket amnesty.

    Well buckle up, legal Americans, because you are about to witness the acceleration of the amnesty program via executive fiat. An end-around congress and the U.S. Constitution is about to take place through a little known arm of the executive branch of government known as the U.S. Domestic Policy Council.

    Introducing the U.S. Domestic Policy Council


    Most Americans don’t know anything about the U.S. Domestic Policy Council. The change of leadership that has just taken place within that agency, however, and the consequential changes that are in the offing will most certainly change that.

    Created by executive order in 1993 during the Clinton administration, the U.S. Domestic Policy Council is tasked with oversight of the development and implementation of the President’s domestic policy agenda. The agency also acts as a liaison between the heads of various other federal offices and agencies to assist in the implementation of the President’s domestic agenda. Although it’s unofficial history can be traced back into the 1960′s, the council has played a more active role in domestic affairs since its formal creation. It has gained even more influence and prominence under Obama.

    The Council’s leadership

    On November 24 2008, Obama named attorney Melody Barnes, the top domestic policy advisor for Obama’s 2008 campaign and prior Executive Vice President for Policy at the Center for American Progress, a 501(c)3 organization founded by John Podesta, to chair the U.S. Domestic Policy Council. Last October, Barnes announced that she was leaving her position as director to spend more time with her family. During her brief tenure as council chair, Barnes cites the many accomplishments under her tenure. It was Barnes, under the guiding hand of Obama, who addressed issues and implemented a wide range of “policies” from those relating to health care to education, and from nutrition to immigration.

    Barnes resigned at the beginning of the year so she could spend more time with her family, according to official statements. Taking her place is Cecilia Munoz, an activist for immigration policy change.

    Who is Cecelia Munoz?

    Cecilia Munoz, 49, served as the Director of Intergovernmental Affairs at the White House since early 2009 before being tapped by Obama to take over the U.S. Domestic Policy Council. She also worked for the National Council of La Raza, a group that aggressively lobbies for amnesty for illegal aliens and mass immigration.

    Few would be surprised to learn that Munoz is also tied at the hip with George Soros, in her boardroom position with the Center for Community Change, a Soros-funded community organizing group with direct ties to MoveOn.org and ACORN among other similar organizations. She has also served on the board of George Soros’ Open Society Institute.

    Her new position will involve “coordinating the policy-making process and supervising the execution of domestic policy” in the White House, and her prior positions and contacts will most certainly continue to flow into the West Wing.

    It is important to remember that it is the Center for Community Change, the organization where Munoz working through 2008, openly uses as its training programs made infamous by socialist radical Saul Alinsky. One can ultimately follow the ties between the Center for Community Change to the Woods Fund, a Chicago based nonprofit group on which Obama directed along with Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers.

    Endgame

    Trained in Alinsky tactics, the endgame should be clear with this new West Wing appointment. Obama is shrewdly playing for keeps, and left unchecked, we will bear witness to one of the most overreaching mass amnesty programs ever seen under the unassuming name of the U.S. Domestic Policy Council.

    US Army Wants to Enlist Illegal Aliens Quickly as Recruitment Fails

    US Army Wants to Enlist Illegal Aliens Quickly as Recruitment Fails

    Posted on June 13, 2007



    A senior US defense officials today urged the Congress to fast track a section of the stalled immigration bill that would allow the military to recruit illegal aliens, after recruitment figures released by Pentagon showed that the Army failed to reach its targets for May.

    The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors, or DREAM, provision in the immigration bill was expected to help boost military recruiting by allowing illegal aliens to enlist as way to obtain citizenship, Bill Carr, acting deputy undersecretary of defense for military personnel policy, told a veterans’ group representatives.

    “In other words, if you had come across (the border) with your parents, yet you were a minor child and have been in the U.S. school system for a number of years, then you could be eligible to enlist,” he said. “And at the end of that enlistment, then you would be eligible to become a citizen.”

    Carr’s remarks came as Defense Department figures showed that the Army only recruited 5,101 active-duty soldiers in May, 399 short of its 5,500-soldier goal. The Army National Guard fell 12 percent short of its goal while the Air National Guard numbers were 23 percent below the target.

    Deployed troops reported during surveys that they are “a few percentage points” less inclined to re-enlist, but Carr said the “flat” overall retention picture suggests that current retention trends will continue, at least for the near term
    That flat projection is expected to apply to recruiting, too, with no major shifts expected in the propensity of young people to join the military, he said.

    This outlook isn’t as positive among influencers and parents, those adults who help young people make decisions about joining the military. Support among this group “continues to dwindle as the war progresses,” Carr said.

    While President Bush returns to Washington to help revive the stalled immigration reform package, Carr said talk is already taking place to see if at least the DREAM provision of the stalled bill can proceed.

    At this point, he said, “we are not sure if the Congress would be interested in resurrecting that segment of the bill.”

    It is neither impossible nor impractical. If we stop the jobs and freebies, many will self deport. That and enforcing existing laws would deter others from coming.

    I find this really scary. Use of foreign mercenaries was one of the things which led to the downfall of the Roman empire. Even if it is a good idea to recruit aliens for the U.S. military with the promise of citizenship we should choose people who haven't shown their willingness to break our laws.
