ICE's Mission Melt 3: Endangering America
By Janice Kephart, August 12, 2010

On June 30, 2010, five days after Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Director John Morton received the unanimous "No Confidence" letter from the union representing ICE detention and removal officers and immigration enforcement agents, Morton issued a memorandum to “all ICE Employeesâ€

Moreover, according to the No Confidence letter, Immigration Enforcement officers were already "prohibited from making street arrests or enforcing United States immigration laws outside of the institutional (jail) setting." Clearly, Morton's directive was already the policy in operation; the June 30 directive just sealed its fate. Even worse, the employee letter goes onto say: "This has effectively created 'amnesty through policy' for anyone illegally in the United States who has not been arrested by another agency for a criminal violation."

So ICE officers have to sit on their hands, and simply turn a blind eye, or worse, get laughed at, by an illegal criminal population. Perhaps it begs the question to ask, what immigration enforcement mission is left? Endangering America?

This is almost the exact same Bush revolving door policy a local attorney described to me in 2006

I'd go as far as to say this "Policy" was probably already conceived before the 86 IRCA Law passed. I suspect that behind closed doors it was revealed to congressmen and senators in order to get their votes for that one time only AMNESTY!
