    Rep. Tim Murphy: WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCES END TO DEPORTATION OF

    WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCES END TO DEPORTATION OF ILLEGAL ENTRANTS


    US Fed News

    August 26, 2011 Friday 7:24 AM EST

    WASHINGTON, Aug. 26 -- Rep. Tim Murphy, D-Pa. (18th CD), issued the following news release:

    Illegal aliens who were facing deportation will be granted amnesty under a new Department of Homeland Security policy announced last Thursday by Secretary Janet Napolitano.

    In declaring that DHS would focus on illegal immigrants with criminal records, Secretary Napolitano directed federal attorneys to begin reviewing 300,000 deportation cases, and when appropriate, inform illegal aliens that they can apply for work permits.

    Unable to secure passage of immigration reform known as the DREAM Act that would grant citizenship to illegal aliens, the Administration has sought other avenues to fulfill the same goal. Congressman Murphy responded quickly to the announcement: "The White House again is deciding which laws it will enforce, despite congressional action to the contrary." The Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act failed to secure enough votes for passage in Congress so it could be sent to the President for his signature. Congressman Murphy opposed it when it came before the House.

    "Our country is a welcoming nation for those who follow our laws and come to our country legally. Only Congress can write the law. Unfortunately, this amnesty program is another instance when the Administration has chosen to rule by fiat."

    The latest grant of amnesty-by-memorandum comes after the Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced in June that would allow agents to dismiss cases of illegal immigrants who came to the country at a young age and are currently pursuing an education or serving in the military. The ICE directive said agents should show "prosecutorial discretion" such as by granting deferred action, "deciding whom to stop, question, or arrest," deciding "whom to detain," and "dismissing" a removal proceeding.

    In both instances, the Administration has said the goal is to free up resources so federal agents can focus on people who have committed felonies or are national security risks.

    Congressman Murphy is a cosponsor of HR 2497, the Hinder the Administration's Legalization Temptation Act, or HALT Act. The bill would prevent the Executive Branch from using discretionary authority to grant parole, defer action, cancel a deportation order, or approve a work permit for illegal aliens.

    Hearings on the legislation have been conducted by the House Judiciary Committee.
