Democrats Blast GOP Bill that Cracks Down on Delayed Deportations for Non-Criminals

A legislative proposal in Congress backed by Republicans would dramatically limit the circumstances for delaying deportation.

The measure, known as the HALT Act and introduced by Rep. Lamar Smith and Sen. David Vitter, seeks to suspend until January of 2013 the discretion of the president to prioritize the deportation of some people, or classes of people, over others.

Smith, a Texas Republican who is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said the impetus for the bill was a series of directives by Obama Administration officials urging “prosecutorial discretionâ€

But deportations have reached record levels under Obama, and roughly half of those deported have no known criminal records.

Really? How do we know they have no criminal record? They are using stolen ID, no one knows who they are. These are not innocent people, they willingly particiapte in human smuggling (of themselves), identity theft, fraud, among other things. They knowingly violate our laws, they refuse to obey our laws and demand that we bend over for them. Gimme a break!

At a rally in front of the federal immigration offices in Newark, about a dozen U.S. born children with at least one parent who has been deported spoke of how their families had been hurt and their lives upended.

Awww. Boo hoo my parents are criminals and they got caught, so now I'm trotting out my sob story? NOT OUR problem! Take it up with your parents. There are millions of US born children of legal residents and US citizens whose families have been hurt and upended by illegal aliens, I'll reserve my sympathy for them. Go home with your parents, keep your families together and GROW UP!

Seems to me these Senators have only done half the job. They should have come out and nailed this cry baby of a President by blaming him of holding our security hostage for the sake of latin votes. I can't stand this POS

This country gets crazier every day, I keep waiting for Ashton Kutcher to pop out and say "you've been punked" Cause I'm feeling like the American people have been "punked"!

Dems want illegals to have a vote. They are depending on the taco vote to retain thir house control and to re-elect the traitor into office as well.
