Rep. Barletta Seeks Answers
from Attorney General over Backdoor Amnesty
Freshman Congressman Lou Barletta (R-PA) sent U.S. Attorney
General Eric Holder a letter last Friday demanding answers regarding the
Administration's use of prosecutorial discretion to grant backdoor amnesty to
certain illegal aliens up to the age of thirty. This policy was announced
in Secretary Napolitano's June 15 memorandum ordering Department of Homeland
Security personnel to grant deferred action to illegal aliens meeting criteria
similar to that of the failed DREAM Act.
In his letter to the Attorney General, Rep. Barletta charged the
Administration with usurping Congressional authority. Noting that Congress had
repeatedly rejected the DREAM Act, Rep. Barletta wrote, "[W]hen similar
measures that would implement these same policies were presented to Congress,
Congress rejected them. The implementation of the new immigration policy that
is contrary to the expressed will of the Congress violates the
Constitution."
Rep. Barletta also asked Attorney General
Holder whether he believed Secretary Napolitano's memorandum was
constitutional. "As the most senior lawyer in our country, I would like to
know your opinion about the constitutionality of Secretary Napolitano's
actions." Barletta inquired. Holder's Justice Department has yet to
comment on the Administration's use of prosecutorial discretion to grant
deferred action to broad categories of illegal aliens. Stay
tuned to FAIR for more details...
OBAMA FUNDS LA RAZA WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS!
CECILIA MUNOZ IS ONE OF
OBAMA’S MANY LA RAZA SUPREMACIST OPERATING OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. NO
ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY HAS BEEN SO INFESTED WITH A FOREIGN BASED POLITICAL
PARTY AS OBAMA’S.
THE FASTEST GROWING
POLITICAL PARTY IN AMERICAN IS THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA – THE PARTY
of ILLEGALS AND MEXICAN SUPREMACY. THEIR GOAL IS OBAMA AMNESTY OR CONTINUED
NON-ENFORCEMENT, NO E-VERIFY, OPEN BORDERS AND DE FACTO CITIZENSHIPS WITH
DRIVERS’ LICENSES!
VIVA LA RAZA! YOU ARE!
OBAMA HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED THE FUNDING TO EXPAND MEXICAN SUPREMACY IN
OUR BORDERS!
On Thursday, Director of
Intergovernmental Affairs Cecilia Muñoz blogged that the Department of Homeland
Security will review its entire deportation caseload - that's 300,000 cases -
to "clear out low priority" cases and "make more room to deport
people who have been convicted of crimes or pose a security risk."

Obama's lowest priority: some deportation
cases
Tuesday, August 23, 2011
President Obama is in a pickle. Immigration enforcement
actually is working - or, at least, it was working.
Under the Obama
administration, the government has removed almost 400,000 illegal immigrants
annually. That's 4 percent of the 10 million illegal immigrants estimated to be
living in America - and it sends a warning to those thinking of illegally
entering the United States.
Thanks to the Secure
Communities program, which requires local law enforcement to share arrestees'
fingerprints with Washington, about half of those deported have criminal
records. According to the administration, the vast majority of the rest either
re-crossed the border after deportation or were recently caught.
So what did the White
House announce last week? On Thursday,
Director of Intergovernmental Affairs Cecilia Muñoz blogged that the Department
of Homeland Security will review its entire deportation caseload - that's
300,000 cases - to "clear out low priority" cases and "make more
room to deport people who have been convicted of crimes or pose a security
risk."
Sen. Dick Durbin,
D-Ill., told the New York Times that the policy would protect youths with clean
criminal records whose parents brought them into the country when they were
minors. That is, he likened the Obama policy to his proposed legislation, the
Dream (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) Act.
Actually, the Obama
policy goes much further than shielding minors. Under the guise of
"prosecutorial discretion," a Department of Homeland Security memo
advises officials to consider a number of "positive factors" before
prosecuting offenders. "Positive factors" include military service, "long-time
lawful permanent" residency, "minors and elderly individuals,"
nursing, pregnant and disabled.
On the one hand, the
policy seems smart - let the government concentrate on deporting threats to
public safety.
On the other hand, the
White House essentially has announced that individuals who break federal
immigration law are a "low priority" and unlikely to face legal
consequences. So much for deterrence.
Worse, the new policy
will allow individuals who have been caught up in a Secure Communities' review
to apply for work permits. Mark Krikorian, executive director of the
pro-enforcement Center for Immigration Studies, said that the new policy makes
getting arrested equivalent to winning the lottery: "Their fellow illegal
aliens who were not arrested don't get work authorization."
Krikorian calls the new
policy "administrative amnesty." Obama failed to persuade Congress to
change the law. Now with the 2012 presidential election looming, he changed
policies implemented in the Clinton and George W. Bush years by fiat.
Bush's Secure Communities
program enabled Obama to boast that his administration delivered the greatest
number of illegal immigrant removals ever - 395,165 - in Fiscal Year 2009. In
2010, the number fell. Last month, he told the National Council of La Raza,
"Here's the only thing you should know. The Democrats and your president
are with you."
Re-election, after all,
is his highest priority.

Obama Starts Suspending Deportations
Last
Updated: Tue, 08/23/2011 - 4:14pm
Keeping
its promise to suspend deportations for a broad class of illegal immigrants,
the Obama Administration has officially started the process that’s expected to
spare tens of thousands from removal in the coming months.
Among
the first illegal aliens to benefit from the president’s backdoor amnesty plan
is a Mexican man living in Florida. He got busted a few years ago after
applying for a work permit and was earmarked for deportation. Earlier this
month local media portrayed the man, Manuel Guerra, as a desperate
undocumented worker
trying to build a new life after fleeing violent street gangs in his native
Mexico.
This
week the 27-year-old, who has lived in the U.S. illegally for more than a
decade, became the poster child for Obama’s newly implemented amnesty program.
Federal immigration authorities officially suspended his
deportation,
according a mainstream newspaper report that says Guerra had been caught in a
“tortuous and seemingly failing five-year court fight against deportation.”
Guerra
was spared after a working group from the departments of Homeland Security and
Justice met to start reviewing 300,000 deportation cases pending before
immigration courts nationwide. Under Obama’s new plan, authorities will have wide discretion to
halt deportations
and will be encouraged to do so in cases where illegal immigrants attend
school, have family in the military or are primary bread winners.
The
stealth amnesty plan was first introduced last year in case Congress doesn’t
pass legislation to legalize the nation’s 12 million undocumented immigrants.
Earlier this year political appointees at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services (USCIS), actually issued a directive to enact “meaningful immigration
reform absent legislative action.” The plan includes delaying deportation
indefinitely (“deferred action”), granting green cards, allowing illegal
immigrants to remain in the U.S. indefinitely while they seek legal status
(known as “parole in place”) and expanding the definition of “extreme
hardships” so any illegal alien could meet the criteria and remain in the
country.
This
goes hand in hand with the president’s new blueprint for immigration reform,
which was recently issued by the White House. Titled “Building A 21st
Century Immigration System,” the plan strives to strengthen the U.S. economy and
“competitiveness” by creating a legal immigration system that reflects the nation’s
“values and diverse needs.” After all, it claims that the “overwhelming
majority” of people living in the U.S. with “no legal status” are “simply
seeking a better life for themselves and their children.”
The
president’s new plan, which has already allocated $8 million to community
groups that operate immigrant “integrational programs,” also expands “anti
discrimination provisions of immigration law” and provides more “comprehensive
anti-retaliation protections.”

NCLR Funding Skyrockets After Obama Hires Its VP
06/17/2011
A Judicial Watch investigation reveals that federal funding for a Mexican La Raza group that for years has raked in millions of taxpayer dollars has skyrocketed since one of its top officials got a job in the Obama White House.
The influential and politically-connected National Council of La Raza (NCLR) has long benefitted from Uncle Sam's largess but the group has made a killing since Obama hired its senior vice president (Cecilia Muñoz) in 2009 to be his director of intergovernmental affairs.
Ignored by the mainstream media, Judicial Watch covered the appointment because the president issued a special "ethics waiver" to bring Muñoz aboard since it violated his own lobbyist ban. At the pro illegal immigration NCLR, Muñoz supervised all legislative and advocacy activities on the state and local levels and she was heavily involved in the congressional immigration battles that took place in the George W. Bush Administration.
She also brought in a steady flow of government cash that's allowed the Washington D.C.-based group to expand nationwide and promote its leftist, open-borders agenda via a network of community organizations dedicated to serving Latinos.Among them are a variety of local groups that provide social services, housing counseling and farm worker assistance as well as publicly-funded charter schools that promote radical Chicano curriculums. Judicial Watch published a special report on this a few years ago.
This week a JW probe has uncovered details of the alarming increase in federal funding that these NCLR groups have received since Muñoz joined the Obama Administration. In fact, the government cash more than doubled the year Muñoz joined the White House, from $4.1 million to $11 million.
Not surprisingly, a big chunk of the money (60%) came from the Department of Labor, which is headed by a former California congresswoman (Hilda Solis) with close ties to the La Raza movement. Since Obama named her Labor Secretary, Solis has launched a nationwide campaign to protect illegal immigrant workers in the U.S. Just this week Solis penned declarations with Guatemala and Nicaragua to preserve the rights of their migrants.
The NCLR also received additional taxpayer dollars from other federal agencies in 2010, the JW probe found. The Department of Housing and Urban Development doled out $2.5 million for housing counseling, the Department of Education contributed nearly $800,000 and the Centers for Disease Control a quarter of a million.
Additionally, NCLR affiliates nationwide raked in tens of millions of government grant and recovery dollars last year thanks to the Muñoz factor. An offshoot called Chicanos Por La Causa (CPLC) saw its federal funding nearly double to $18.3 million following Muñoz' appointment.
A social service and legal assistance organization (Ayuda Inc.) that didn't receive any federal funding between 2005 and 2008 got $600,000 in 2009 and $548,000 in 2010 from the Department of Justice. The group provides immigration law services and guarantees confidentiality to assure illegal aliens that they won't be reported to authorities.

COURT CRITICIZES OBAMA DHS ON STEALTH AMNESTY DOCUMENT
By NWV News Writer Jim Kouri
February 6, 2012
© 2012 NewsWithViews.com
February 6, 2012
© 2012 NewsWithViews.com
A watchdog group that investigates,
exposes and prosecutes government corruption announced Thursday that the United
States District Court for the District of Columbia issued a ruling criticizing
President Barack Obama’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for failing to
abide by Freedom of
Information Act
(FOIA) law.
According
to Jill Farrell, Director of Public Affairs for Judicial Watch, JW officials
filed their original FOIA request with DHS on August 30, 2010, and then
followed up with a lawsuit on March 23, 2011, after the DHS
stonewalled
the release of records.
The Obama
administration filed a Motion for Summary Judgment in the lawsuit on August 4,
2011, asking the court to terminate the watchdog group’s lawsuit. U.S. District Judge Colleen
Kollar-Kotelly
granted DHS’s motion regarding some select records, but also denied the motion
in part and chastised the agency for its inadequate explanations as to why it
was withholding certain documents:
• Regarding assertions of
attorney-client privilege, the court listed a series of “egregious” examples
demonstrating DHS’s unwillingness to specify reasons for exempting documents
from disclosure and concluded, “In the end, DHS’s generalized and non-specific
showing fails to satisfy the court that the attorney-client privilege has been
properly invoked in connection with the information withheld from Judicial
Watch.”
• The court drew a similar conclusion
regarding memoranda and communications that DHS was withholding pursuant to the
attorney work product privilege, which protects materials “prepared in
anticipation of litigation or for trial by or for another party or its
representative.” The court ruled: “Absent a more particularized showing from
DHS, the Court cannot conclude that DHS has applied the appropriate standard in
this case…”
• Regarding the deliberative process
privilege, which protects “documents reflecting advisory opinions,
recommendations and deliberations comprising a part of the process by which
governmental decisions and policies are formulated,” Judge Kollar-Kotelly
wrote, “The Court agrees with Judicial Watch that DHS has failed to provide
sufficient factual context for much of the information withheld under the
deliberative process privilege to allow the Court to conclude that the
privilege has been properly invoked.”
Although the court had the ability to force disclosure under these circumstances, Judge Kollar-Kotelly allowed DHS one “final” opportunity to establish the applicability of these privileges to the information withheld from Judicial Watch.
The Obama administration’s campaign
to suspend the deportations of most illegal aliens has been subject to intense
scrutiny since 2010, when the press uncovered a United States Citizenship and
Immigration Services memo that contemplated various “administrative alternatives”
to bypass Congress and implement stealth amnesty for illegal aliens. A
subsequent Houston Chronicle story exposed an effort by the
administration to suspend the deportations of illegal aliens who supposedly
have not been convicted of any “serious” crimes.
Documents
previously uncovered by Judicial Watch show that DHS officials misled Congress
and the public about the scope of the immigration enforcement policy change,
which gave wide latitude to local immigration officials to dismiss illegal
alien deportation cases – including
the dismissal of charges against illegal alien criminals convicted of violent
crimes. The Obama administration announced recently that it would
effectively halt any enforcement actions (on an alleged “case-by-case” basis)
against any illegal alien who has not committed any other “serious” crimes.
“The court’s ruling shows the
secrecy games by the Obama DHS. Clearly the Obama administration wants to
obscure the truth about its lawless illegal alien deportation policy. The Obama DHS believes it should
be able to withhold records from the American people without explanation or
justification. We’re pleased the court would not allow DHS to continue its
contempt for FOIA law. We look forward to continuing our legal pursuit of these
records,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Illegal
Deportation Actions by Obama Administration
Aspart of
President Barack Obama's "new immigration and deportation strategy,"
all U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers must complete a training
program that stresses removing high-risk offenders while at the same time forgo
the deportation of illegal immigrants with clean records and strong ties to
their communities, said the ICE officers' union
officials on
Friday.
According
to federal law enforcement officials, a majority of ICE’s commanding officers
and prosecuting attorneys have completed the training seminar, but the National
ICE Council, which represents agency’s more than 6,000 immigration officers,
has not allowed its members to enroll in the new training program.
The tough and outspoken president of
the National ICE Council, Chris Crane, has opposed many of
the president’s strategies, arguing that Obama’s policies force ICE officials
to disregard the law.

“What we're seeing is our Congress
and national leadership dismantling our laws by not enforcing them. Lawlessness
becomes the norm, just like Third World corruption. Illegal aliens now have
more rights and privileges than Americans. If you are an illegal alien, you can
drive a car without a driver's license or insurance. You may obtain medical
care without paying. You may work without paying taxes. Your children enjoy
free education at the expense of taxpaying Americans.”

Obama's
'Hispanicazation' of America
Monday, January 10, 2011
08:28 AM
By: James Walsh
Casting a shadow on economic recovery efforts in
the United States is the cost of illegal immigration that consumes U.S.
taxpayer dollars for education, healthcare, social welfare benefits, and
criminal justice. Illegal aliens (or more politically correct, “undocumented
immigrants”) with ties to Mexican drug cartels are contributing to death and
destruction on U.S. lands along the southern border.
While the declining job market in the United States may be discouraging some would-be border crossers, a flow of illegal aliens continues unabated, with many entering the United States as drug-smuggling “mules.”
Increasingly vicious foot soldiers of the Mexican drug cartels are taking control of U.S. lands along the border, especially since U.S. Border Patrol units have been reassigned, some to offices 60 to 80 miles inland.
The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) early last year posted signs warning citizens to avoid Interstate 8 between Casa Grande and Gila Bend, Ariz., because of criminal activity in the area, an area that includes protected natural areas precious to the nation.
In reaction to public outrage over the signs, the BLM removed the offensive wording in October 2010, replacing it with the following: Visitor Information Update—Active Federal Law Enforcement Patrol Area.
As the liberal news media, far-left Democrats, and labor unions push for the “Hispanicazation” of U.S. culture, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says the U.S. border has never been more secure.
Perhaps she is basing this on the reduced number of apprehensions, which result, of course, from reassigning Border Patrol agents inland.
In a recent New York Times article, Nicholas Kristof criticized U.S. citizens for not speaking a foreign language and suggested that “Every child in the United States should learn Spanish.” He concluded that as the United States increasingly integrates economically with Latin America, Spanish will be crucial for the United States.
For decades, the liberal left has argued that Latin America is essential for U.S. business and trade. Kristof states that Latin America “is finally getting its act together” but fails to mention the Obama administration’s $2 billion loan of U.S. taxpayer money in 2009 to Brazil’s Petrobras oil company for deep off-shore oil drilling. Obama confidant George Soros, through the Soros Fund Management LLC, until recently owned millions of dollars of Petrobras stock.
Kristof suggests that one day Spanish-speaking Americans will be part of daily life in the United States and that workmen such as mechanics will be able to communicate easily with Spanish-speaking customers.
He fails to explain why these customers will not be speaking English. After all, the ability to speak, read, and write English remains a requirement for U.S. citizenship.
President Barack Obama gives lip service to increasing border control resources with limited funding and personnel. Many officials, including the governors of Texas and Arizona, are skeptical regarding the Obama administration’s resolve. They resent that the United States is being blamed for the killing fields on both sides of the Mexico-U.S. Border.
For instance, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in March 2009, during her first official visit to Mexico, placed the blame for the Mexican drug cartels’ vicious murders on the United States.
In Mexico City, she announced that the U.S. appetite for illegal drugs and the easy acquisition of guns from the United States by Mexicans are the root causes of the Mexican crime wave. “Blame America” has become the global agenda of the Democratic Party.
The Obama administration’s plan to resolve the immigration chaos is to offer amnesty to all comers. President Obama re-affirms his support of a “pathway to citizenship” (amnesty) for illegal aliens in 2011.
The administration, however, has announced no plans to control the influx of future waves of illegal aliens or their skyrocketing costs to the nation. The administration, which condones U.S. sanctuary cities and states, has no plans to file charges against them for violations of federal immigration law. Nor does the administration seem concerned about the environmental impact that illegal aliens have on the ecology of the United States.
Many national forests, parks, monuments, wilderness areas, and wildlife refuges — once the pride of the nation — are serving today as marijuana fields for illegal alien gangs.
Former Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi reportedly said to a gathering of illegal aliens in California in 2009 that U.S. immigration laws were “un-American,” suggesting that they need not be obeyed. Concerned citizens can only trust that the new speaker of the House, John Boehner, as part of congressional oversight of federal agencies, will demand enforcement of existing immigration laws.
When will President Obama recognize that illegal immigration is slowing economic recovery? Can he resolve the chaos while still appeasing his Hispanic base?
To maintain his populist aura, the president is in the habit of saying one thing to one audience and the opposite to another.
One Obama apologist explained, “Campaign rhetoric is one thing,” suggesting that governing is another. The deliberate Hispanicazation of the United States to secure a block of votes is quite another.
While the declining job market in the United States may be discouraging some would-be border crossers, a flow of illegal aliens continues unabated, with many entering the United States as drug-smuggling “mules.”

For instance, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in March 2009, during her first official visit to Mexico, placed the blame for the Mexican drug cartels’ vicious murders on the United States.
In Mexico City, she announced that the U.S. appetite for illegal drugs and the easy acquisition of guns from the United States by Mexicans are the root causes of the Mexican crime wave. “Blame America” has become the global agenda of the Democratic Party.
The Obama administration’s plan to resolve the immigration chaos is to offer amnesty to all comers. President Obama re-affirms his support of a “pathway to citizenship” (amnesty) for illegal aliens in 2011.
The administration, however, has announced no plans to control the influx of future waves of illegal aliens or their skyrocketing costs to the nation. The administration, which condones U.S. sanctuary cities and states, has no plans to file charges against them for violations of federal immigration law. Nor does the administration seem concerned about the environmental impact that illegal aliens have on the ecology of the United States.
Many national forests, parks, monuments, wilderness areas, and wildlife refuges — once the pride of the nation — are serving today as marijuana fields for illegal alien gangs.
Former Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi reportedly said to a gathering of illegal aliens in California in 2009 that U.S. immigration laws were “un-American,” suggesting that they need not be obeyed. Concerned citizens can only trust that the new speaker of the House, John Boehner, as part of congressional oversight of federal agencies, will demand enforcement of existing immigration laws.
When will President Obama recognize that illegal immigration is slowing economic recovery? Can he resolve the chaos while still appeasing his Hispanic base?
To maintain his populist aura, the president is in the habit of saying one thing to one audience and the opposite to another.
One Obama apologist explained, “Campaign rhetoric is one thing,” suggesting that governing is another. The deliberate Hispanicazation of the United States to secure a block of votes is quite another.
