Thread: I.C.E says that they will not enforce Arizona Law!

Immigration crackdown for Illinois

U.S. Department of Homeland Security

In the midst of an outcry over illegal immigration and Arizona's new crackdown, a top Department of Homeland Security official visiting Chicago on Wednesday said his agency intended to step up enforcement in places such as Illinois.

John Morton, who heads U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said his agency intends to expand the Secure Communities initiative, which gives police and sheriff's departments access to a Homeland Security database that includes fingerprints. The initiative recently grew to include most of Chicago's suburbs.

Morton, a former prosecutor, also said the agency intends to increase scrutiny of employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants.

"If we're going to bring about meaningful changes in behavior, you have to do that by focusing on the employer," he said during a meeting with the Tribune editorial board.

Morton said the government's stepped-up enforcement would result in a "sharp increase" in deportations this year. Last year's 400,000 overall deportations were a record, but this year there has already been a 40 percent jump in deportations of criminals, he said.

Echoing comments by President Barack Obama and others in the administration, Morton said that Arizona's new law targeting illegal immigration is not "good government." The law makes it a crime to be in the state illegally and requires police to check suspects for immigration paperwork.

Morton said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona officials. The best way to reduce illegal immigration is through a comprehensive federal approach, not a patchwork of state laws, he said.

"I don't think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution," Morton said.

Arizona doesn't need ICE... They are going to enforce the law statewide, they don't need a Fed Agency interfering. From what I see, ICE is a fail... they make a bust now and then; but they have definitely failed the country.

Arizona needs to bring their own national guard to their borders; bringing all of them out of Obama's Aghanistan war. Once their borders are secured, they need to bus the illegals back to Mexico; tell them goodbye; and maybe their citizens can sleep soundly once again.

Well, if they don't, then they are violating they federal laws that they were hired to defend, so Arizona should sue them!

This idiot should be fired! Who the heck does he think he is saying he does not "think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution." He has been entrusted to follow the laws and to enforce the laws, the thinking is to be left to others, like maybe the law makers.

The congress critters better jump all over this idiot. This country spends too much money for idiots like this Morton to tell the taxpayers what he thinks.

There should be congressional inquires into this man's lack of respect for laws that are on the books.

Fire this scumbag!

IMPEACH THE TYRANT IN CHARGE!!!!

This is an outrage!

YOU SCUMBAGS IN WASHINGTON BETTER WAKE UP!

I.C.E says that they will not enforce Arizona Law!

Why would anyone expect them to? They don't enforce Federal immigration laws against Mexicans anyway. They're a RACIST organization!!!!!!

They pick and choose who they will use our Immigration laws against....let's see...they arrest and deport Chinese, Vietnamese, Haitians, Cubans, Europeans for just being in the country illegally and won't arrest and deport Mexicans/Latinos unless they have a criminal record on top of being in this country illegally..anyone see the racism in that? OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS NEED TO BE ENFORCED STRAIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD, EQUALLY!!!!

Even Juan McCain was whining last night on some news show, that this is MAFIA straight up killing everyone and anyone in their way. In five years we will look like Mexico; where blood pours on every streets and innocent families with their children are beheaded or shot down for the Mexican Mafia's control of the country, including our Federal Government (which they already have).

The Mexican drug cartels are embedded in every major city in every border state and then some. WAKE UP AMERICA!!

I have read about this "gambit" before. ICE and DHS are following the misinterpretation of laws such as 287(g) to apply only to violent acts by IAs. If an IA is reported for a reason THEY deem inconsequential they ignore the request and by law the IA must be released by the arresting authority after a short period of time.

Just another form of Sanctuary but done by national agencies!
