Gallegly accuses Obama of 'back-door amnesty' policy

Rep. Elton Gallegly, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement, has sent a letter to President Barack Obama calling a new administration policy "a backdoor amnesty" program for undocumented workers.

"As someone who has worked on this issue for more than 20 years, I cannot sit back and not express my extremely strong disapproval with your new policy," Gallegly, R-Simi Valley, stated in the letter released by his office Friday. "I urge you to reverse this policy."

Sent to the White House on Tuesday, Gallegly's letter echoes similar criticisms by other Republicans, including Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer.

The administration announced Aug. 18 it will allow low-priority undocumented immigrants facing deportation the chance to stay in the United States and apply for a work permit, while focusing on deporting undocumented workers who are convicted criminals and potential national security or public safety threats.

The new policy will entail a case-by-case review of about 300,000 undocumented immigrants facing possible deportation in federal immigration courts, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said.

Gallegly's letter accused the administration of "in effect ... implementing a backdoor amnesty for people who are violating federal immigration laws."

Gallegly argued the new policy "is a direct assault on the 14 million Americans and legal immigrants who are looking for a job to support themselves and their families. It will result in higher unemployment and lower wages and benefits for many Americans, especially, but not limited to, those in the minority community."

An administration spokesman could not be reached Friday for comment. But Cecilia Munoz, White House director of intergovernmental affairs, defended the new policy on the White House blog.

"There are more than 10 million people who are in the U.S. illegally; it's clear that we can't deport such a large number," she wrote. "So the administration has developed a strategy to make sure we use those resources in a way that puts public safety and national security first."

The policy, she wrote, will focus deportation efforts on "people who have been convicted of crimes in the United States," rather than "people who are low priorities for deportation," such as young people brought here as small children.

Have we learned nothing from the last election ? Wake up people these people are professional liars. They will say and do anything neccesary to get elected. Looking more and more like Ron Paul is the only one of the bunch that is honest, Hopefully Bachmann can be included in that. The GOP cannot be trusted. Period.

I have to agree with you on that. NONE can actually be trusted. Even if parts of the invasion are stopped,what about our economy and jobs moving abroad. What about a solution to Social Security and Medicare. Stopping all these free trade agreements. Get our butts out the the businesses of other countries. Stop being the worlds cops!

Ron Paul is honest alright.

Paul comes right out and admits the reasons why he received a F on illegal immigration for pandering to illegal aliens.

Ron Paul also came right out and said what he thinks about America, and that got him booed by the Tea Party....as well as any American Patriot that watched him twist the truth and shame us before the world last night!

I am very happy the public is becoming more and more aware of Ron Paul's anti-Americanism. He should never hold the office of the President in the United States.

In fairness to Ron Paul, I believe when he got briefly booed by a small group in the audience (from the sound of it) he was describing what the 9/11 attacker organizations said were their reasons for attack.... not his own personal positions.

Agreed.....you have to admit we do get in the business of other countries a lot and sway their positions with bribes.
