Thread: Obama's New Amnesty Is A Federal Crime !

The announcement by the Obama administration that they are going to halt deportations of Illegals LAWFULLY ARRESTED under our Immigration laws that were passed by OUR ELECTED MEMBERS OF CONGRESS Is a gross violation of Federal Law !! The Executive branch cannot decide for themselves which laws that are enacted by CONGRESS should be followed !!! CONGRESS MAKES THE LAWS NOT THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH !!!!!!!

Obama Administration to Review All Deportation Cases, Apply DREAM Act-Style Criteria

The Obama administration announced Thursday that it would launch a case-by-case review of illegal immigrants slated for deportation, in a move that could grant a reprieve to so-called DREAM Act beneficiaries and thousands of others.

The DREAM Act is a proposal in Congress to give illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children a chance at legal status if they complete two years of college or military service. Though the bill has not passed, supporters and critics alike suggested Thursday's announcement could serve to unilaterally carry out its provisions.




A spokeswoman with the Federation for American Immigration Reform described the new policy as "blanket amnesty."

But Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a letter to Senate Democrats that it would "enhance public safety" by focusing deportation efforts on those "who pose a threat."

Under the plan, DHS and the Department of Justice will review all cases in removal proceedings as well as any new cases to make sure those who are deported meet the kind of criteria established in a June 17 agency memo.

The memo from Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton instructed staff to consider 19 factors when exercising "prosecutorial discretion" -- or the discretion an ICE attorney has in deciding whether and how to pursue an immigration case. The list includes factors similar to those in the DREAM Act, like whether someone arrived in the U.S. as a "young child," is pursuing an education or has served in the military.

Thursday's announcement goes beyond the memo by establishing a process to flag and exempt certain illegal immigrants from deportation. A team of attorneys and officials will be tasked with reviewing the more than 300,000 cases in the system.

An ICE memo obtained by FoxNews.com said the effort would not provide "categorical relief for any group," but would try to prevent "low-priority" cases -- like those not involving convicted criminals -- from clogging the system.

Cecilia Munoz, White House director of intergovernmental affairs, wrote on the White House blog that the review would "clear out low-priority cases on a case-by-case basis and make more room to deport people who have been convicted of crimes or pose a security risk" -- while ensuring the low-priority cases are kept "out of the deportation pipeline in the first place."

Describing groups of people similar to those targeted in the DREAM Act, she said the low-priority list would include "individuals such as young people who were brought to this country as small children, and who know no other home," as well as "individuals such as military veterans and the spouses of active-duty military personnel."

She said that with more than 10 million people in the country illegally, the strategy is meant to focus limited resources on those who pose the greatest risk.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid praised the decision.

"This new DHS directive will help prioritize our limited enforcement resources to focus on serious felons, gang members and individuals who are a national security threat rather than college students and veterans who have risked their lives for our country," Reid said in a statement. "I am especially pleased about the impact these new policies will have on those who would benefit from the DREAM Act. ... We lose a lot by sending them back to countries they do not know."

Reid said Congress should still pass immigration reform legislation.

Napolitano also stressed in her letter that the new process "will not alleviate the need for passage of the DREAM Act or for larger reforms."

But FAIR described the announcement as a complete overhaul of immigration law without approval by Congress.

"Having failed in the legislative process, the Obama administration has simply decided to usurp Congress's constitutional authority and implement an amnesty program for millions of illegal aliens," FAIR President Dan Stein said. "This step by the White House amounts to a complete abrogation of the president's duty to enforce the laws of the land and a huge breach of the public trust. ... In essence, the administration has declared that U.S. immigration is now virtually unlimited to anyone willing to try to enter -- and only those who commit violent felonies after arrival are subject to enforcement."

Presidential Oath of Office:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Why is he allowed by Congress to continuously violate his oath of office?

I heard napolitano say today that there are 300,000 illegals awaiting deportation and they are going to review each case by case!

Who can we write to that will do some good!

I wish there was just ONE truly wealthy person who despises this mess of illegal alien problem and who would SUE President OBAMA and the government for failing to uphold our Constitutional Law!

Both Bush and Obama have Usurped the Power of Congress

Bush should have been Impeached

Obama HAS to Be Impeached

or the Next Wacko Globalist put in front of you will be far less forgiving

This is the kinda thing that Perry will give a wink & nod to. It spares him should he be elected from enforcing the law so he can keep on pleasing his cheap labor cronies. Who is up to the challenge here? Will any DC critters take this on?

We need to carefully track which, IF any, of our 'promising' gop candidates bothers to say one word about this.

If the miserable GOP'ers, had stood by us fighting this mess with Bush/McCain instead of playing their race cards, we wouldn't be dealing with Obama's arrogance over it. He's got them ALL in his pocket on this one. Who has the cajones to oppose him? Has anyone heard of any comments from out 'leaders' over this outrage?

And DAMN the peasants!

Now are ya getting the idea how those 'Merican Injuns felt a short few centuries ago when they watched the powers that be give away their home???


We ARE the current indigenous tribe, and we are being replaced. We lost representation LONG ago covering for the likes of good 'conservatives' like Bush, McCain and their little puppets, or puppettes, whichever the case may be.

Might as well vote for Ron Paul. At least he'd stop the welfare magnet.

W W

I've been gone all day and just got back to see this HELL BREAKING OUT.

speechless ..

The fact that our opposition is govt. funded and we have to pay our own way is killing us.

I posted this on another thread. I was watching the national news tonight and they said that the ones who are not deported will be given work permits!

...perfect timing! Just in time to compete with millions of us who are out of a job!

It is fair to say we have funded our own destruction with our own tax dollars.
