Obama setting priorities on immigration policy

As Congress moves slowly on immigration reform, President Barack Obama is making numerous policy changes in enforcement and other areas designed to shift priorities and boost confidence in the administration as it lays the groundwork for possible legislation.

Most of the changes are being driven by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and are primarily aimed at illegal immigrants with criminal records and employers who hire undocumented workers.

Napolitano is working with legislators to develop a strategy for comprehensive legislative reforms.

In the meantime, she is "taking steps to ensure enforcement is conducted wisely and well," said White House spokesman Nick Shapiro.

The recent administrative changes include:

*New guidelines directing immigration agents to target employers that hire illegal immigrants rather than simply arresting undocumented employees.

* A requirement that all local police agencies deputized to check immigration status and turn criminals over for possible deportation sign new agreements pledging to prioritize those who pose a risk to public safety.

*Implementation of a rule that requires federal contractors to use E-Verify, an online employment verification program.

*Expansion of a program that uses government databases during the booking process to find illegal immigrants in the nation's jails.

Napolitano is expected to next address immigration detention.

Administration officials said top experts in the field are looking at all the facilities, both private and public, to see if they are efficiently, safely and effectively operated. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which oversees the detention centers, has been heavily criticized for providing inadequate medical care and for violating detainees' due process.

Meanwhile, other administration policy changes are under way.

In the immigration courts, Attorney General Eric Holder overturned an order by the Bush administration that limited the ability of immigrants fighting deportation to make claims of incompetent counsel.

At the border, Napolitano has shifted hundreds of federal agents and intelligence analysts to the area to target the southbound flow of weapons and the northbound flow of drugs, attack the drug cartels and prevent the violence from spilling over into the U.S.

At the FBI, the federal government is also clearing the backlog of pending background checks on immigration petitions and speeding processing of citizenship applications.

So.. here we go.... no driving license, no insurance, driving and driving down the American roads go the illegal aliens. The road rest are full of illegal aliens. Free services.

So all American should cancel license and insurance and just drive. Forget MADD, they never focus on illegal aliens driving and impaired (DWI).

You and I would be taken to jail, but illegal get to break many laws before they are shown to be illegally in The United States.

What a crock!

Then to end the article,

At the FBI, the federal government is also clearing the backlog of pending background checks on immigration petitions and speeding processing of citizenship applications.

In other words there is a good statement for the public's consumption, and then there is government policy that works contrary to the public's good.

This nothing but pasteurized, homogenized unadulterated b.s. Open borders and health care, welfare, education, food stamps, in-state tuition, wic, jobs and other benefits for the unending flood of impoverished humanity crossing our wide open joke of a border for votes and cheap labor for their union, big labor, chamber of commerce, Mexican government and drug cartel masters is their only priority. For all intents and purposes there no longer is any enforcement of any immigration laws under the 1986 IRCA and it's 5 revisions. The USA officially has ceased to exist. Welcome to the third world.........

But vmonkey56, they are future Obama Supporters!
And they are bright people too!

Why hasn't our military hauled his butt out of OUR WHITEHOUSE YET?
I hope it's in the PLANNING STAGE.

In effect, he is terminating enforcement of our immigration laws for the benefit of undocumented Democrats.

"for the benefit of undocumented Democrats."

Am I wrong for looking off in this direction?

Those undocumented Democrats are also consumers. Looking at the money supply (all that has just been ordered printed) these consumers help to consume some of the debt associated with the infusion of this new money.

This if correct is nothing less than a viscous circle. Print more money, need more consumers to demand (to help consume) the infusion of money(that is a buffer against inflation). Profits and savings from those who grab some of the money supply through the cycle then invest around the world gaining more market share for the dollar, then when more money is needed for government and business expenses the cycle starts again.

Does that scenario make any sense?

No rants please.

It's all about getting Democrat voters, same with Republicans being nervous about losing them....
Obama has no interest in making money,
he is depleting it as fast as he can to break White America and even things out.
