Thread: MEMOS SHOW PLAN TO AMNESTY MILLIONS

This is related to what Arizona Senator John Kyl has been saying all along: that the Obama Administration is "holding hostage" the issue of increased border security, unless and until Obama gets his Amnesty for 20 million illegal aliens. The White House denied this at first, but is now reluctant to admit that this recent memo is real, that they were working on an Amnesty by bypassing Congress. Obama is apparently considering writing his own executive order, and declare the massive Amnesty himself. It's all about him.

The Obama Administration and the Democratic majorities in Congress are still salivating at the thought of registering 20 million newly legalized voters, who will probably vote for Democrats.

Dr. Seuss would have said, "I do not like your open borders! Or your threats to use executive orders!".

UPDATE: USCIS Memo Details Obama Administration Plan for Executive Action Amnesty

Thursday, July 29, 2010, 11:21 PM EDT - posted on NumbersUSA

A newly revealed memo, obtained by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) who is leading the fight against amnesty, shows Obama Administration officials offering a detailed plan that would offer actual or de facto amnesty to millions of illegal aliens without Congress ever taking a vote.

The 11-page memo, drafted by Chief of Policy and Strategy for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Denise Vanison, outlines the various ways to offer a mass amnesty to the nation's 11-18 million illegal aliens through the use of administrative actions. The stated purpose of the memo is to offer "administrative relief options to promote family unity, foster economic growth, achieve significant process improvements and reduce the threat of removal for certain individuals present in the United States without authorization."

"The memo proposes 18 different ways for the Obama Administration to essentially eliminate our borders through regulatory fiat and in clear violation of the letter and the spirit of U.S. immigration laws, which Obama swore an oath to faithfully execute," said NumbersUSA's Director of Government Relations Rosemary Jenks.

The memo is an alternative plan to amnesty "in the absence of Comprehensive Immigration Reform." In addition to using deferred action and parole, which were previously identified in two separate letters drafted by Sen. Grassely and signed by 11 other Senators (read the first and second letters), the memo outlines ways that USCIS can extend benefits and protections to individuals and groups of people by lessening the standards used in "extreme hardship" cases.

Item 4 in the memo outlines ways the Obama Administration can provide amnesty for millions of illegal aliens through the "extreme hardship" provision. It would "encourage many more spouses, sons, and daughters of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to seek relief without fear of removal. It would also increase the likelihood that such relief would be granted." Section 4 reads:

Lessen the Standard for Demonstrating "Extreme Hardship"

The Act at 212(a)(9)(B)(i)(I) and (II) renders inadmissible for 3 or 10 years individuals who have been unlawfully present in the U.S. for 180 days or one year respectively, and then depart. By statute, DHS has discretion to waive these grounds of inadmissibility for spouses, sons and daughters of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents if the refusal to admit such individuals would result in extreme hardship to their qualifying relatives. Generally, the "extreme hardship" standard has been narrowly construed by USCIS.

To increase the number of individuals applying for waivers, and improve their chances of receiving them, CIS could issue guidance or a regulation specifying a lower evidentiary standard for "extreme hardship." This would promote family unity, and avoid the significant human and financial costs associated with waiver denial decisions born of an overly rigid standard. This revised standard would also complement expanded use of PIP as set forth in B.

In addition to lessening the standard for demonstrating "extreme hardship", the memo details many more options that "have the potential to result in meaningful immigration reform absent legislative action."

Other options include: allowing aliens in the United States under Temporary Protected Status to adjust their status to Legal Permanent Resident, extending "grace periods" to leave the country for aliens on temporary work visa, changing the distribution time line for temporary workers on the H-2B visa, and granting up to 240 additional days on applications for employment authorization when the application is filed before the work authorization expiration date.

Denise Vanison has been an immigration attorney for more than 18 years. She advised multi-national and domestic corporate clients on employment of foreign nationals in the United States, I-9 employment verification and procurement of passports, visas, green cards and U.S. citizenship.

The memo was drafted for Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Alejandro Mayorkas. In addition to Denise Vanison, Roxana Bacon from the Chief Councel's office, Debra Rogers from Field Operations, and Donald Neufield from Service Center Operations were also listed as authors of the memo.

UPDATE: DHS has issued the following response:

Internal draft memos do not and should not be equated with official action or policy of the Department. We will not comment on notional, pre-decisional memos. As a matter of good government, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will discuss just about every issue that comes within the purview of the immigration system. We continue to maintain that comprehensive bipartisan legislation, coupled with smart, effective enforcement, is the only solution to our nation’s immigration challenges.

Internal memoranda help us do the thinking that leads to important changes; some of them are adopted and others are rejected. Our goal is to implement policies wisely and well to strengthen all aspects of our mission. The choices we have made so far have strengthened both the enforcement and services sides of USCIS — nobody should mistake deliberation and exchange of ideas for final decisions. To be clear, DHS will not grant deferred action or humanitarian parole to the nation’s entire illegal immigrant population.

I do believe there is going to be an attempt by this president via executive order to put in place some form of amnesty. As I have said before on this forum and others, the devil is going to be in the details. Contrary to the BS that is being pedaled by the press, this government can send 12 plus million illegals back to Mexico. They just don't want to. The liberal
progressives need a voting and tax base and the corporations want cheap labor. If amnesty occurs, the "cheap labor" is going to be a joke....that's after the unions get ahold of these "new illegitimate citizens"

Think about it, do you as Americans want people without total command of the English language building your cars, your airplanes, in your operating rooms? etc. They are already disbursing prescription medicines in assisted living homes, and I am curious as to just how the military cemetery in Washington D.C. got so fouled up and in an utter state of chaos. Could it be because employess couldn't read paperwork and grave stones? Try to get answers....they aren't forthcoming.

As to concerns about chaos in the streets, I would suggest anyone here Google Gerald Celente, Marc Faber, and others who saw and see this coming, and pay close attention to what they have to say.

Brace yourself my fellow citizens.
