OBAMA TELLS I.C.E. TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY ON ILLEGALS - His "Undocumented Dems"

Stop Administrative Amnesty
Call Your Representative and Tell Them to Co-Sponsor the HALT Act!




Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director, John Morton, issued two memos last month to ICE Field Office Directors, Special Agents in Charge, and all Chief Counsel instructing them to look the other way when confronted with certain classes of illegal aliens. One of the memos directs them to refrain from enforcing immigration laws against those who would qualify for amnesty under provisions of the failed DREAM Act.
The other memo directs them not to enforce the immigration laws against illegal aliens pursuing “civil rights” lawsuits, such as employment or housing discrimination, as well as against certain aliens identified through the Secure Communities program. And last year, in a memo entitled “Administrative Alternatives to Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” senior officials at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) offered Director Alejandro Mayorkas a variety of ways to “reduce the threat of removal for certain individuals present in the United States without authorization.”
To stop this continuous effort by the Obama Administration to bypass Congress, House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) introduced this week the “Hinder the Administration’s Legalization Temptation Act” or the HALT Act (H.R. 2497). If enacted, the HALT Act would prevent the Administration from further abusing its prosecutorial discretion to grant administrative amnesty to certain classes of illegal aliens by suspending its ability to:
• Grant deferred action to illegal aliens;
• Grant parole or extended voluntary departure to illegal aliens who do not meet narrowly defined criteria;
• Cancel the removal and adjust the status of illegal aliens ordered deported; and
• Grant work authorization to illegal aliens.
Call your Representative and tell them the Administration’s actions are an affront to the rule of law. Urge them to limit the Obama Administration’s authority to administratively grant amnesty to illegal aliens by co-sponsoring the HALT Act today!
