A DECADE
OF UNEMPLOYMENT – AND THE JOBS AND WELFARE GO TO ILLEGALS!
The White
House study assumes that the American government will take no action over the
next ten years to create jobs or put the unemployed back to work.
… provides a powerful weapon for driving down
wages, benefits and social programs, and imposing far worse conditions on
workers still on the job.
“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.”
The jobs
crisis and the 2012 elections
30 July 2012
The Obama
administration issued an official update on the US economy Friday that projects
that unemployment will remain high for the next decade. The unemployment rate
stood at 5.0 percent in April 2008, before the Wall Street crash triggered by
the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. Even in the best-case scenario laid out in
the White House report, the unemployment will remain above that level into
2022.
In other words, for those who are now
unemployed, and particularly for the new generation of young people who have
come of age since the 2008 crash, the prospect is for the continuation of mass unemployment more or less
indefinitely.
The Mid-Session Review issued by the White House
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) assumes a relatively quick return to
rapid economic growth in the United States, with GDP expanding by more than 4
percent a year in 2014 and 2015, and a worldwide economic recovery rather than
depression.
The OMB economic projections were already
disproved as unduly optimistic while the Mid-Session Review was being printed.
While the OMB projects a 2.6 percent growth in GDP in 2012, the second quarter
growth rate reported by the Commerce Department fell to only 1.5 percent, below
even the 2.0 percent growth reported in the first quarter.
Even under
the OMB’s unrealistic assumptions, it would require a full decade to return to
the levels of unemployment that prevailed in the early stages of the current
economic slump. Given the reality of global slowdown, new financial shocks from
the bankruptcy of European countries and financial scandals involving the banks
and hedge funds (LIBOR, JP Morgan Chase), the relatively small decline in the
US unemployment rate over the past two years, from 10.1 percent to 8.2 percent,
is
likely to be wiped out by a surge of mass layoffs.
Recent announcements by Cisco Systems, Citigroup
and, most recently, Delta Airlines suggest that a new round of corporate
job-cutting is already under way.
Despite the dubious projections, the OMB
document has a definite political significance. Its economic projections amount
to an admission that capitalism has failed an entire generation of working
class youth in the United States. Millions of young people each year are
graduating from high school or leaving college to enter the work force, under
conditions where job creation is so anemic that little work is available for
those already jobless, let alone for new entrants to the labor market.
At the
same time, the OMB document constitutes a declaration, from the office of the
President of the United States, that nothing will be done to alleviate the
plight of the unemployed or to provide them jobs. The White House study assumes that the American government will take no
action over the next ten years to create jobs or put the unemployed back to
work.
The administration has funneled huge resources
to the super-rich, in the bailout of banks and then the auto companies,
accompanied by a 50 percent wage cut for newly hired auto workers. While
trillions were allocated to bail out Wall Street, not a penny is proposed to
prevent a colossal growth of poverty and social misery among working people.
There is a definite class policy at work, to be
pursued whether Obama or Mitt Romney wins the presidential elections this
November. The American ruling elite, far from seeking to end mass unemployment,
regards tens of millions of jobless workers as a positive good. A double-digit
unemployment rate (when part-time and discouraged workers are included in the
calculation) provides a powerful weapon
for driving down wages, benefits and social programs, and imposing far worse
conditions on workers still on the job.
Meanwhile, on the national security front, the
lack of decent jobs for young people insures a steady supply of recruits for
the “volunteer” military, the cannon fodder for new imperialist wars like those
in Iraq and Afghanistan, which are being prepared in Syria, Iran and other
international flashpoints where the US military is deployed.
For the working class, the OMB document
underscores the underlying reality of the 2012 election campaign. With tens of
millions of working people facing increasingly desperate conditions, neither
capitalist candidate, Obama or Romney, offers any alternative. The truth is
that there can be no solution to the crisis without a frontal assault on the
accumulated wealth of the ruling class.
The
trillions in the coffers of the banks and giant corporations are an irrefutable
answer to claims by Democratic and Republican politicians and their media
apologists that “there is no money” to deal with urgent social needs.
The
working class must build an independent mass political movement that advocates
a radical redistribution of wealth to meet social needs. The vast resources created
by labor must be used to provide jobs for the unemployed and a future for what
will otherwise be a lost generation of working class youth.
The
Socialist Equality Party and our candidates for president and vice-president,
Jerry White and Phyllis Scherrer, are the only political movement fighting for
this revolutionary socialist perspective in the American working class. We urge
workers and young people to support our campaign and join and build our party.

Obama administration repeats same

When
the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced the nation's latest national

repeated that same line nearly every month since November 2009.

administration do acknowledge that they repeat themselves:

Obama soft on illegals enforcement
Arrests of illegal immigrant
workers have dropped precipitously under President Obama, according to figures
released Wednesday. Criminal arrests, administrative arrests, indictments and
convictions of illegal immigrants at work sites all fell by more than 50
percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009.
The figures show that Mr. Obama has made good on his pledge to shift enforcement away from going after illegal immigrant workers themselves - but at the expense of Americans' jobs, said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Republican who compiled the numbers from the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Mr. Smith, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said a period of economic turmoil is the wrong time to be cutting enforcement and letting illegal immigrants take jobs that Americans otherwise would hold.

Illegal Immigration
Today, between
eight and fourteen million illegal aliens reside in the United States, draining
our nation’s economy, while presenting a security threat to the people of the
United States. Public officials have not only repeatedly failed to protect our
borders from this illegal alien invasion, but they have also been complicit in
the effort to undermine our nation’s immigration laws.
Judicial Watch
has an active investigation into the Obama administration’s policies and
actions on immigration. For instance, Judicial Watch had uncovered documents
indicating collusion between the Department of Justice and the American Civil Liberties Union with
respect to legal challenges of Arizona’s SB 1070. Recently, Judicial Watch
obtained documents revealing that administration officials misled Congress
regarding the scope of deportation dismissals in Houston, Texas. Additional
documents were obtained that detail a behind-the-scenes effort by the
administration to suspend deportation proceedings against “DREAM” Act aliens
and other illegal immigrants. Judicial Watch also routinely obtains smuggling
statistics and has revealed details of a shocking sex slave trafficking
operation in Houston, Texas.

OBAMA’S LA RAZA SEC. of ILLEGAL LABOR:
Labor
secretary: Obama doing good job on economy
Monday,
September 6, 2010
(09-06) 04:36 PDT WASHINGTON (AP) --
Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is defending President Barack Obama's
efforts to combat the recession and unemployment, saying his focus has been on
helping the jobless and underemployed.
In a Labor Day appearance on ABC News'"Good Morning
America," Solis said Obama is doing a good job.
Solis says the Obama administration knows people are hurting from
the weak economy. She pointed to last year's $814 billion economic recovery act
and administration proposals for job training and hiring incentives for
businesses.
On CBS'"Early Show," she said that over the last eight
months, the U.S. economy has added some 90,000 private sector jobs each month.
Critics have cited persistent unemployment rates of nearly 10
percent and only faint signs that businesses are rehiring workers.

Labor Dept. Helps Illegal
Alien Workers
Last
Updated: Tue, 04/06/2010 - 11:04am
The
Department of Labor has launched a special program to assist and protect
illegal immigrant workers in the U.S., referred to as “vulnerable” and
“underpaid” by the presidential cabinet member who heads the agency.
Hundreds
of new field investigators have been deployed to reach out to Latino laborers
in areas with large numbers of illegal alien employees. Their message, in
Spanish, is “we can help” bring workplace protections to the nation’s most
vulnerable and underpaid workers, including those who have no legal right to
live in the Untied States.
(THE
OBAMA PLAN TO PUT ILLEGALS INTO OUR JOBS AND VOTING BOOTHS!)
Labor Secretary Hilda Solis,
a former California congresswoman with close ties to the influential La Raza
movement, announced the “We Can Help” project with
great fanfare a few days ago. A total of 1,000 investigators from her agency will focus
on enforcing labor and wage laws in industries that typically hire lots of
illegal aliens without reporting anyone to federal immigration authorities.
(WHO
WORKS FOR THE RIGHTFUL JOBS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS? WHO ENFORCES THE LAWS THAT
PROHIBIT THE EMPLOYMENT OF ILLEGALS, EVEN IF THEY HAVE A STOLEN SOCIAL SECURITY
NUMBER? NOT THE LA RAZA DEMS, OR HISPANDERING BARACK OBAMA!)
Solis
told Latino workers that “your president, your secretary of labor and this
department will not allow anyone to be denied his or her rightful pay,
especially when so many in our nation are working long, hard and often
dangerous hours.” She assured illegal immigrants that “if you work in this
country, you are protected by our laws.”
The
same day Solis publicly announced the Obama Administration’s new project, a
Labor Department investigator visited a day laborer center in northern
California to promote it. The federal employee actually chatted warmly with the
illegal immigrants about how to find jobs
without being exploited,
according to a local newspaper report. “We’re the feds but the good ones,” he
told the day laborers in Spanish. “We’re here to help workers.”
The
agency has also launched a Spanish television advertising campaign to spread
the word and created a web site. Workers in industries from construction to
food service are urged to contact the Labor Department of wage and hour
violations. An investigator may be deployed to the work site or the employer
may be taken to court.

outreach campaign to illegal aliens regarding fair wages:

The
U.S. Department of Illegal Alien Labor
President Obama's Labor Secretary Hilda Solis
is supposed to represent American workers. What you need to know is that this
longtime open-borders sympathizer has always had a rather radical definition of
"American." At a Latino voter registration project conference in Los
Angeles many years ago, Solis asserted to thunderous applause, "We are all
Americans, whether you are legalized or not."
That's right. The woman in charge of enforcing
our employment laws doesn't give a hoot about our immigration laws -- or about
the fundamental distinction between those who followed the rules in pursuit of
the American dream and those who didn't.
While in
Congress, she opposed strengthening the border fence, supported expansion of
illegal alien benefits (including driver's licenses and in-state tuition
discounts), embraced sanctuary cities that refused to cooperate with federal
homeland security officials to enforce immigration laws, and aggressively
championed a mass amnesty. Solis was steeped in the pro-illegal alien worker
organizing movement in Southern California and was buoyed by amnesty-supporting
Big Labor groups led by the Service Employees International Union. She has now
caused a Capitol Hill firestorm over her new taxpayer-funded advertising and
outreach campaign to illegal aliens regarding fair wages:
"I'm here to tell you that your
president, your secretary of labor and this department will not allow anyone to
be denied his or her rightful pay -- especially when so many in our nation are
working long, hard and often dangerous hours," Solis says in the video
pitch. "We can help, and we will help. If you work in this country, you
are protected by our laws. And you can count on the U.S. Department of Labor to
see to it that those protections work for you."
To be sure, no one should be scammed out of
"fair wages." Employers that hire and exploit illegal immigrant
workers deserve full sanctions and punishment. But it's the timing, tone-deafness
and underlying blanket amnesty agenda of Solis' illegal alien outreach that has
so many American workers and their representatives on Capitol Hill rightly
upset.
With
double-digit unemployment and a growing nationwide revolt over Washington's
border security failures, why has Solis chosen now to hire 250 new government
field investigators to bolster her illegal alien workers' rights campaign?
(Hint: Leftists unhappy with Obama's lack of progress on "comprehensive
immigration reform" need appeasing. This is a quick bone to distract
them.)
Unfortunately, the federal government is not
alone in lavishing attention and resources on workers who shouldn't be here in
the first place. As of 2008, California, Florida, Nevada, New York, Texas and
Utah all expressly included illegal aliens in their state workers' compensation
plans -- and more than a dozen other states implicitly cover them.
Solis' public service announcement comes on
the heels of little-noticed but far more troubling comments encouraging illegal
alien workers in the Gulf Coast. Earlier this month, in the aftermath of the BP
oil spill, according to Spanish language publication El Diario La Prensa, Solis
signaled that her department was going out of its way to shield illegal
immigrant laborers involved in cleanup efforts. "My purpose is to assist
the workers with respect to safety and protection," she said. "We're
protecting all workers regardless of migration status because that's the
federal law." She told reporters that her department was in talks with
local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials who had visited
coastal worksites to try to verify that workers were legal.
No word yet on whether she gave ICE her
"we are all Americans, whether you are legalized or not" lecture. But
it's a safe bet.

“Mexico’s government has
provided its nationals with valuable tools to help them cross the border safely
but Dominguez is the first American resident, with a salary provided by U.S.
taxpayers, to openly promote such a gadget. A few years ago Mexican officials
published a 32-page booklet (Guia Del Migrante Mexicano) with safety

OBAMA’S AMERICA: Open & Undefended Borders!
“What we're seeing is our

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 Administration Challenges
Arizona E-Verify Law
The
Obama administration has asked the Supreme Court to strike down a 2007 Arizona law that punishes employers who
hire illegal aliens, a law enacted by then-Governor Janet Napolitano. (Solicitor General's Amicus
Curiae Brief).
Called the “Legal Arizona Workers Act,” the law requires all employers in
Arizona to use E-Verify and provides that the business licenses of those who
hire illegal workers shall be repealed. From the date of enactment, the
Chamber of Commerce and other special interest groups have been trying to undo
it, attacking it through a failed ballot initiative and also through a lawsuit.
Now the Chamber is asking the United States Supreme Court to hear the case (Chamber
of Commerce v. Candelaria), and the Obama Administration is weighing in
against the law.
To
date, Arizona’s E-Verify law has been upheld by all lower courts, including the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Ninth Circuit, in particular, viewed it as
an exercise of a state’s traditional power to regulate businesses. (San Francisco Chronicle, June 2, 2010).
Obama’s Justice Department, however, disagrees. Acting Solicitor General Neal
Katyal said in his filing with the Supreme Court that the lower courts were
wrong to uphold the statute because federal immigration law expressly preempts
any state law imposing sanctions on employers hiring illegal immigrants.
Mr. Katyal argues that this is not a licensing law, but “a statute that
prohibits the hiring of unauthorized aliens and uses suspension and revocation
of all state-issued licenses as its ultimate sanction.” (Solicitor General's Amicus
Curiae Brief,
p. 10). This is the administration’s first court challenge to a state’s
authority to act against illegal immigration, and could be a preview of the
battle brewing over Arizona’s recent illegal immigration crackdown through SB
1070.
Napolitano
has made no comment on the Department of Justice’s decision to challenge the
2007 law, but federal officials said that she has taken an active part in the
debate over whether to do so. (Politico, May 28, 2010).
As Governor of Arizona, Napolitano said she believed the state law was valid
and became a defendant in the many lawsuits against it. (Id.).

percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009.
The figures show that Mr. Obama has made good on his pledge to shift enforcement away from going after illegal immigrant workers themselves - but at the expense of Americans' jobs, said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Republican who compiled the numbers from the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Mr. Smith, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said a period of economic turmoil is the wrong time to be cutting enforcement and letting illegal immigrants take jobs that Americans otherwise would hold.

If job creation is the goal, make E-Verify mandatory
By Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) - 06/14/11 04:30 PM ET
In a speech delivered during a campaign fundraising trip to Texas last month, President Obama called for Congress to approve comprehensive immigration reform, also known as "amnesty." Meanwhile, the president and his administration claim that putting unemployed Americans back to work is their No. 1 priority.
But these two goals cannot be met simultaneously. The president cannot say on one hand that he wants to create jobs and on the other that he wants to legalize millions of illegal immigrants.
Amnesty prevents Americans from getting jobs, since millions of illegal immigrants will become eligible to work legally in the United States. The president's proposal to legalize millions of illegal immigrants means more competition for American workers who are in need of jobs.
Look at history to see how amnesty has played out in the past. In 1986, Congress legalized about 3 million illegal immigrants. It didn't fix the problem; it only made it worse. Today, there are more than 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., and 7 million people work here illegally. At the same time, 26 million Americans are unemployed or have given up looking for work.
It is inexcusable that Americans and legal workers have to compete with illegal immigrants for scarce jobs. Rather than reward lawbreakers, we should put American workers first.
Fortunately, there is a free, quick and easy tool available to preserve jobs for legal workers: E-Verify. But the program is currently voluntary. Congress has the opportunity to expand E-Verify so more job opportunities are made available to unemployed Americans. There is no other legislation that can be enacted that will create more jobs -- maybe millions more -- for American workers.
Created in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, E-Verify is a Web-based system that allows employers to electronically verify the work eligibility of newly hired employees.
Under E-Verify, the Social Security numbers of new hires are checked against Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security records to weed out fraudulent numbers and help ensure that new hires are legally authorized to work in the U.S.
Even though E-Verify is not mandatory, more than 250,000 businesses willingly use E-Verify and 1,300 new businesses sign up each week. Individuals eligible to work receive immediate confirmation 99.5 percent of the time.
Unlike amnesty, E-Verify has received overwhelming bipartisan support since its creation as a pilot program in 1996. It was extended in 2002, 2008 and 2010. In 2008, the House passed a standalone five-year extension of E-Verify by a vote of 407-2. And in 2009, the Senate passed a permanent E-Verify extension by voice vote.
Part of the success of E-Verify is that participating employers are happy with the results. Outside evaluations have found that the vast majority of employers using E-Verify believe it to be an effective and reliable tool for checking the legal status of their employees.
And E-Verify recently received an exceptionally high overall customer satisfaction score -- 82 out of 100 on the American Customer Satisfaction Index scale. That is well above the overall federal government satisfaction index of 69.
The American people also support E-Verify. A May 2011 Rasmussen poll found that 82 percent of likely voters think businesses should be required to use the federal government's E-Verify system to determine if a potential employee is in the country legally.
And a 2010 Zogby poll of minorities commissioned by the Center for Immigration Studies found that 88 percent of likely minority voters polled support reducing the illegal immigrant population over time by enforcing existing immigration laws, such as requiring employers to verify the legal status of their workers.
With millions of citizens and legal workers looking for work, it is important that we promote policies that increase job opportunities for Americans and legal immigrants. Amnesty undermines this goal, but making E-Verify mandatory helps achieve it.
As long as opportunities for illegal employment exist, the incentive to enter the United States illegally or to overstay visas will continue.
If job creation is the president's priority, then he should push Congress to pass mandatory E-Verify legislation. We cannot sit and hope that businesses hire only legal workers; hope is not a strategy. E-Verify is our best tool for reducing the jobs magnet and creating more jobs for American workers.
Smith is the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

OBAMA’S LA RAZA IN THE WHITE HOUSE, CECILIA MUNOZ:
OBAMA’S LA RAZA IN THE WHITE HOUSE, CECILIA MUNOZ:
*
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

“What we're seeing is our Congress and

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.”
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.
