U.S.: Undocumented students not targeted for deportation
U.S.: Undocumented students not targeted for deportation
Published April 02, 2011
Washington – U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Friday that undocumented students, including those who stand to benefit if Congress ever approves the DREAM Act, are not a "priority" for deportation.
"I will say, and can say, that you know what? They are not, that group, if they truly meet all those criteria, and we see very few of them actually in the immigration system, if they truly meet those (criteria), they're not the priority," she said at a forum in Washington organized by progressive think-tank NDN.
"The reason we set priorities is so that the focus could be on those in the country who are also committing other illegal acts," Napolitano said.
The young people who stood to benefit if Congress had passed the DREAM Act, dubbed "dreamers" by immigrant rights advocates, "put a human face" on the effects of lawmakers' failure to act, the secretary said.
The act would allow the legalization of undocumented students who, among other requirements, enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces or complete at least two years of university. The measure was approved by the House of Representatives in 2010 but was subsequently blocked in the Senate.
Speaking at the same event, Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief John Morton said that, with regard to the moratorium on deportations demanded by pro-immigrant groups, "We can't suspend federal law" for any group and that the government takes its decisions "case by case."
Napolitano also said that the border with Mexico is more secure than ever, and that those determined to say the contrary are only trying "to score some political points."
"So, given the deployment of resources, given the statistical framework, it is simply inaccurate to state - as too many have - that the border with Mexico is overrun or out of control," she said.
Criticism like that has a negative impact on border communities like San Diego, California, El Paso in Texas and Nogales, Arizona.
Customs and Border Protection Deputy Commissioner David Aguilar said that thanks to the deployment of resources there has been "a tremendous amount of success" in the area. In 2009, for example, the violent-crime rate dropped 20 percent in San Diego, 17 percent in Tucson, Arizona, and 30 percent in El Paso.
The mayor of Yuma, Arizona, Alan Krieger, said that while he is not in "denial" about the threat of drug violence from neighboring Mexico, his city "is safe, secure and ready for business. And that rings true for a lot of other communities."
In describing the dynamics of the area, Krieger said that between 30,000 and 40,000 people cross this stretch of the border every day.
"Life goes on" and reports of chaos in the border region are inaccurate, the mayor said.
Despite the apparent public relations campaign by the Obama administration in the field of immigration, pro-immigrant groups announced Thursday that they will continue fighting for "justice" for immigrants and a moratorium on deportations.

We do not want young illegal immigrants to think they are exempt from deportations, because some are just as worst criminals as adults are, and they may use educational studies to protect their criminal intentions. Let us be wise and clever when discussing public immigration issues, because most aliens are smart people and knows how to fraud their way into anything’s they wants to achieve. Some have become "drug mulls" and illegal substances slaves. We must also remember many young students are being recruited by drug cartels; however, this news have not been made public very often, I guess because it is such frightening information.
Teens being recruited to smuggle for cartels in border cities:
By Jason Trahan
Dallas Morning News
DALLAS — Mexican drug cartels are reaching into border-area schools to recruit new soldiers and killers, and state police officials are warning parents that those efforts could expand into North Texas and throughout the state.
Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, said Tuesday that the recruiting is done through gangs, and warned parents to be wary.
The DPS reports that last year, youths from border counties accounted for 9 percent of the population in Texas, but 18 percent of the state's felony drug charges and gang-related arrests.

illegals
All illegals must be deported. Obama will never enforce 100% our immigration laws. Obama and the Dims like illegal aliens and they want to grant them amnesty. So we have to vote Obama out in 2012 with his Dims. No more Obama. Obama is destroying our country with illegal aliens and wars (Libya).
