Obama's Administrative Amnesty: From Rumor to Reality


Last year, we were the first to break the news that the Obama Administration was considering options that would grant an administrative amnesty to illegal aliens living in the United States.

Yesterday, that possibility became a reality when White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs Cecilia Munoz announced a change to the Department of Homeland Security's deportation policy. Going forward, DHS will review deportation cases on a case-by-case basis and focus future deportations only on criminal illegal aliens, allowing non-criminal illegal aliens to stay in the country.

Making matters worse, the Wall Street Journal has confirmed that illegal aliens who receive deferred action or parole from deportation can apply for work permits allowing them to compete with 22 million Americans looking for full-time work That's 300,000 illegal aliens who could potentially receive work permits!

So, while Pres. Obama spent much of the week on a bus tour promoting a future plan to get unemployed Americans back to work, his Administration was working behind the scenes to help illegal aliens become eligible for jobs in the United States!

We've posted a new fax for Pres. Obama on your Action Board criticizing him for his new policy. With millions of Americans looking for work, and 7 million illegal aliens already holding non-agricultural jobs, Pres. Obama needs to find ways to get unemployed Americans back to work, and not find ways to add more competition to the labor market.

PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS UPDATED: After last week's Iowa Straw Poll and Debate, we've updated our comparison grid of the immigration stances of 2012 Presidential Hopefuls. Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, and Herman Cain all received minor adjustments to their ratings, but no grades were changed.

Still, we encourage you to check out the grid and find out which Hopeful has the best position on a variety of immigration issues.
