current immigration law, and effectively declare open borders for non-
criminal illegal aliens. First the Obama administration plans to grant
amnesty to young illegal aliens.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration will stop deporting and
begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants who came to the U.
S. as children and have since led law-abiding lives. The election-year
initiative addresses a top priority of an influential Latino electorate that
has been vocal in its opposition to administration deportation policies.
The policy change, described to The Associated Press by two senior
administration officials, will affect as many as 800,000 immigrants who have
lived in fear of deportation. It also bypasses Congress and partially
achieves the goals of the so-called DREAM Act, a long-sought but never
enacted plan to establish a path toward citizenship for young people who
came to the United States illegally but who have attended college or served
in the military.
But what about adults? Not to worry, another pivot has them covered too –
we’ll just stop arresting or deporting them. From The Washington Times:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the agency charged with guarding the
U.S. borders, has written a secret draft policy that would let its agents
catch and release low-priority illegal immigrants rather than bring them in
for processing and prosecution.
The policy, which has not been signed off on, would be the latest move
by the Obama administration to set new priorities for the nation’s
immigration services, and would bring CBP in line with other Homeland
Security Department agencies that already use such “prosecutorial
discretion.”
The policy was detailed in an internal memo obtained by House Judiciary
Committee Chairman Lamar Smith and reviewed by The Washington Times, which
confirmed the document.
Taken together this represents a major shift in Federal policy and an
election year payoff to Obama’s Latino supporters.
Color me completeley not suprised… |
