Press Release

National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers calls for new immigration policy to be rescinded.

Group says that policy will encourage further illegal immigration and damage
respect for law by foreigners; says President has abandoned duty to law.
The administration announced last week that it would implement a new policy that
will permit hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to remain in the United States
despite being in deportation proceedings already. This policy is clearly designed to
sidestep congressional authority to regulate immigration. It should cause great
concern amongst Americans who demand a secure border and desire only fair,
even-handed enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws.

In a letter to selected senators, Janet Napolitano, Secretary of the Department of
Homeland Security, cited public safety and clogged immigration court dockets as
justification for the new policy. She asserts that DHS resources “must continue to be
focused on our highest prioritiesâ€
