Obama Virtual DREAM Act--Terrorist Tactic to Hold Hispanic Vote Hostage

After Congressional Democrats failed to pass the DREAM Act, President Barak Obama has chosen once again to govern against the will of the American people. But below the surface, it appears to be an attempt to "stack the deck" with Hispanic votes for 2012.

According to Judson Berger's FOXNews.com article, yesterday the Obama Administration announced that it would begin a "case-by-case review" of approximately 300,000 [mostly Hispanic] illegal immigrants who are already under deporation orders; those who were found to have a criminal record or were a member of a gang would be deported. All others would be allowed to stay.

"A spokeswoman with the Federation of American Immigration Reform described the new policy as 'blanket amnesty'".

In a letter to Senate Democrats (no Republicans?), Janet Napolitano-Secretary of The Department of Homeland Security, said [the new policy] "would enhance public safety" by focusing deportation efforts on those "who pose a threat".

Judson also reported that a June 17th memo from John Morton-Customs Enforcement Director, instructed his staff to judge each person, using their "prosecutorial discretion" in applying 19 different criteria (which substantially "mirror" the DREAM Act provisions), to determine whether prosecution should be pursued. Criteria include whether the person arrived in the country as a "young child", is attending college or has served in the U.S. Military. Going beyond the content of the memo, an additional process has been set in place to flag and exempt certain illegal immigrants from deportation.

Not surprisingly, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)-House Minority Leader and Harry Reid (D-NV)-Senate Majority Leader "praised the decision".

Dan Stein-President of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), stated "Having failed in the legislative process, the Obama administration has simply decided to usurp Congress' constitutional authority and implement an amnesty program for millions of illegal aliens"..."this step by the White House amounts to a complete abrogation of the President's duty to enforce the law of the land", rendering "U.S. Immigration unlimited to anyone willing to try to enter the country, and only those that commit violent felonies after arriving will be subject to enforcement".

There has been little change in poll results between 2006 and now, regarding the will of the American people when it comes to immigration. According to a recent Gallup poll, which compared results with those from 2010 and 2006, when presented with the "split-question" of what was more important, 50% of Americans agreed that to 'halt flow of illegal immigrants' was more important than the 'deal with illiegal immigrants already here', which garnered 45% of the votes.

Another telling poll question noted that when participants were asked to spontaneously chose "the nations most important problem", Immigration Reform came in with only 5% of the vote, far behind the economy, unemployment, Gulf Oil Spill, poor [Obama] leadership, healthcare and the federal budget deficit.

So once again, it appears as though President Obama is governing against the stated will of the American people.

Why would he want to risk their ire, as the 2012 election cycle begins?

To secure the Hispanic votes he needs.

Hispanic voters are very disappointed with the Obama Administration, believing that President Obama has failed to keep campaign promises to them, in return for their huge support (which they gave to George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004) in getting him elected in 2008.

When Hispanic voters are disappointed--they stay home on election day and don't vote, and that's a problem.

However, by using his "Executive Order" power-pen, President Obama has come up with a very clever solution in an attempt to correct this, by implementing a "virtual" ["fake"] DREAM Act, to lighten up on illegal immigrant deportation.

Obama's mechanics appear "fool-proof", as he has figuratively "strapped" this fake DREAM Act to his body, and "connected" it to his re-election with a "virtual finger-switch", in order to "blackmail" Hispanics into voting for him; if he is re-elected as President--his "finger" remains on the "trigger switch" and the fake DREAM Act is safe for four more years.

This is brinksmanship is best characterized by using very symbolic phrasing, borrowed from a recent Democrat daily talking point list, which would describe it as President Obama utilizing perhaps the world's most effective "terrorist" doomsday weapon (finger-switch connected to bomb vest) to take the Hispanic vote "hostage".

However, if this tactic doesn't work for President Obama (and it won't because it is still against the will of a "majority" of the people), then on inauguration day in January 2013, he and a large portion of the Democrat Party will be "blown" on an air current of change from Washington, DC.
