A NATION OF
LAWS? INTERESTING CONCEPT THAT DOES NOT APPEAR TO APPLY TO ILLEGALS OR THE LA
RAZA INFESTED OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
THERE ARE ONLY
EIGHT (8) STATES WITH A POPULATION GREATER THAN LOS ANGELES COUNTY WHERE 90% OF
ALL SERVICE SECTOR AND CONSTRUCTION JOBS ARE HELD BY ILLEGALS USING STOLEN
SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS.
NEARLY
ONE-THIRD OF ALL L.A. DRIVERS ARE ILLEGALS DRIVING ILLEGALLY, UNLICENSED AND
UNINSURED.
OBAMA IS
DETERMINED TO GET THE ILLEGALS’ VOTES BY PROMISING THEM OUR JOBS. HE’S
SABOTAGED E-VERIFY TO DO SO, AND HIS SEC. of (illegal) LABOR IS LA RAZA
SUPREMACIST HILDA SOLIS!
OBAMA’S AGENDA
IS AMNESTY or continued NON-ENFORCEMENT until there are so many illegals
voting, they will elect another LA RAZA SUPREMACIST like OBAMA!

forget that we are a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants,” Napolitano

DREAM
Act stalled, Obama halts deportations for young illegal immigrants (+video)
Obama issued an executive order to halt the
deportation of young immigrants brought to the US illegally. With Congress
sharply divided on the DREAM Act, the politically charged move should help the
president with Latino voters.

The administration has been under considerable
pressure to take action on the behalf of young immigrants, as Congress has been
sharply divided about the DREAM Act, proposed
legislation that grants conditional residency to select young people brought to
the US illegally.
The policy comes as a relief for thousands of young people who
are caught in a difficult situation where they consider the United States home
but don’t have legal residency. It also should help President Obama – locked in
a difficult reelection battle – with Latino voters, who have criticized the
administration’s deportation policies.
The new policy will not provide any pathway to permanent
residency, but should energize both immigration activists and opponents as the
election approaches.
In recent weeks, young activists who call themselves “dreamers”
have occupied Obama campaign offices around the country to call for action.
“Effective immediately, young people who were brought to the US
through no fault of their own as children and who meet certain criteria will be
eligible to receive deferred action for a period of 2 years and that period
will be subject to renewal,” she said.
Mr. Obama will address the issue Friday afternoon from the White House, but news of
the executive order created excitement in the immigrant community.
Roberto Gonzalez, a leading expert on immigration issues at the University of Chicago, says,
“Students are really excited. This is not the DREAM Act and doesn’t resolve
everything for these students, but it’s a huge step forward for this
community.”
Under the executive order, individuals need to be at least
sixteen years old and no older than thirty to be eligible for the deferred
action policy. They need to have been brought to the United States before they
turned sixteen and need to have resided in the country for at least five
continuous years before their application. They also need to be currently in
school, or to have graduated from high school or gotten a G.E.D., or have been
honorably discharged from the military.
Individuals will be ineligible if they have been convicted of a
felony offense, a significant misdemeanor, or multiple minor misdemeanors, or
pose some other threat to national security.
Explaining the rationale for the executive order, Secretary
Napolitano said that US immigration laws “are not designed to be blindly
enforced without consideration given to the individual circumstances of each
case. Nor are they designed to remove productive young people to countries
where they may not have lived or even speak the language.”
Officials described the order as an act of prosecutorial
discretion that will help the federal government focus on higher priority
immigration cases.
“This is not immunity, it is not amnesty, it is an exercise of
discretion,” said Napolitano.
Napolitano also urged Congress to pass the DREAM Act and
continue immigration reform.
Though the policy is effective immediately, senior
administration officials said it would take about 60 days to set up the
application process.
At that point, individuals not already undergoing deportation
proceedings can voluntarily come forward to U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), to which they must provide documentation
showing that they meet the required criteria for deferred action. People
already undergoing deportation proceedings need to present their documentation
to Immigration
and Customs Enforcement.
After receiving a grant of deferred action, people can apply to
USCIS for work authorizations, which will be considered on a case-by-case
basis.
After two years, people who received a grant of deferred action
can reapply through USCIS. People under age sixteen will be able to “age in” to
the program, provided a future administration does not institute a new policy
in the meantime. Administration officials said anyone who receives deferred
action will be safe from prosecution for two years, no matter what.
“We should not
forget that we are a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants,” Napolitano
said.

The Obama administration has also cut worksite enforcement efforts
by 70%, allowing illegal immigrants to continue working in jobs that rightfully
belong to citizens and legal workers.
Illegal
Alien Parents to Benefit from President's DREAM Act Decree
Lost in the
media frenzy surrounding President Obama's decision to administratively
implement the DREAM Act is the Administration's plans to also grant a reprieve
to the illegal alien parents who brought them here in violation of U.S.
immigration law. In doing so, the Administration is directly contradicting
its own public relations campaign — and that of amnesty advocates nationwide —
which has portrayed its new policy as a way to provide "a degree of
relief" to "innocent young kids." (See White House transcript, June 15, 2012; to read more about the
President's "deferred action" policy, see FAIR's Legislative
Update, June 19, 2012)
The Administration's decision to not deport the
illegal alien parents of so-called DREAMers was revealed by Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano during a CNN interview. Here is the exchange between
CNN Anchorman Wolf Blitzer and Secretary Napolitano:
BLITZER: What
about the parents of these children? The children come forward now, they identify
themselves. Should the parents be concerned that potentially they could be
deported? They would now be identified as illegal immigrants.
NAPOLITANO: No.
We are not going to do that. We have internally set it up so that the parents
are not referred for immigration enforcement if the young person comes in for
deferred action. However, the parents are not qualified for deferred action.
This is for the young people who meet the criteria that we've set forth. (CNN transcript, June 15, 2012)
While Napolitano makes the distinction that the
illegal alien parents will not qualify for "deferred action," the
Administration's decision not to deport them essentially amounts to the same
thing. The only major difference is that if the Department of Homeland Security
simply administratively closes the parents' cases, it is uncertain whether it
will grant the parents work authorization.
As if the President's new deferred action policy
were not troubling enough itself, the decision not to deport the illegal alien
parents of DREAMers could triple the number of illegal aliens who benefit from
it. Excluding parents, the Pew Hispanic Center estimates that at least 1.4
million illegal aliens would qualify for deferred action under the President's
new program. (See Pew Hispanic Center report, June 15, 2012) But with the Administration's
acknowledgment that it will no longer deport the illegal alien parents of
DREAMers, the size of the President's amnesty program could triple, or perhaps
even quadruple, when fraudulent applications are taken into account.
THE ENTIRE REASON THE BORDERS ARE LEFT OPEN IS TO CUT WAGES!
"We could cut unemployment in half simply by reclaiming the
jobs taken by illegal workers," said Representative Lamar Smith of Texas, co-chairman
of the Reclaim American Jobs Caucus. "President Obama is on the wrong side
of the American people on immigration. The president should support policies
that help citizens and legal immigrants find the jobs they need and deserve
rather than fail to enforce immigration laws."

The
truth about the DREAM Act
Published
March 20, 2012
| FoxNews.com
The
DREAM Act has become a rallying cry for President Obama, members of his
administration, and liberal Democrats everywhere. President Obama has vowed to
“keep fighting for the DREAM Act,” which would grant amnesty to millions of
illegal immigrants.
It’s
true when listeners or those polled don’t know the facts that the DREAM Act has
some appeal. After all, we are all naturally sympathetic when children are
involved.
But
the descriptions of the DREAM Act voiced by President Obama and his cohorts are
not accurate. And the consequences are never told.
DREAM
Act supporters claim that only children would benefit from such a bill, but the
facts tell another story. Under most DREAM Act proposals, amnesty would be
given to individuals up to the age of 30—not exactly children. And some other
proposals don’t even have an age limit.
These
supporters also maintain that illegal immigrants can’t go college without the
DREAM Act. But the truth is that illegal immigrants can already go to college
in most states.
And
ultimately, most versions of the DREAM Act actually don’t even force illegal
immigrants to comply with all the requirements in the bill, such as going to
college or joining the military. The administration can waive requirements
because of “hardship”at its complete discretion.
DREAM Act proposals are
also a magnet for fraud. Many illegal immigrants will fraudulently claim they
came here as children or that they are under 30. And the federal government has
no way to check whether their claims are true or not.
Such massive fraud occurred after the 1986 amnesty for illegal
immigrants who claimed they were agricultural workers. Studies found two-thirds
of all applications for the 1986 amnesty were fraudulent.
(ANYONE THAT THINKS THERE ARE ONLY 11 MILLION ILLEGALS IN OUR
BORDERS SHOULD COME VISIT CA! LOOK AROUND AND TRY TO FIND A NON-HISPANIC
ENGLISH SPEAKING LEGAL! CA IS NOW 40% ILLEGAL. NEVADA IS NOW 33% ILLEGAL.
COLORADO IS NOW 20% ILLEGAL. AND LA RAZA IS NOW MOVING INTO THE AMERICAN SOUTH)
And
this amnesty did nothing to stop illegal immigration. In 1986, there were about
three million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. Today, there are an
estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. and about seven million of
them work here, unfairly taking jobs from unemployed Americans.
While DREAM Act
supporters claim that it would only benefit children, they skip over the fact
that it actually rewards the very illegal immigrant parents who knowingly
violated our laws. Once their children become U.S. citizens, they can petition
for their illegal immigrant parents and adult siblings to be legalized, who
will then bring in others in an endless chain.
This
kind of chain migration only encourages more illegal immigration, as parents
will bring their children to the U.S. in hopes of receiving citizenship.
President Obama tried to
get the DREAM Act passed during a lame duck session about a year ago but it
faced bipartisan opposition in Congress. This hasn’t stopped the administration
from passing its agenda. The Obama administration does everything it can to let
illegal immigrants stay here, which compounds the problem.
Political
appointees at the Department of Homeland
Security recently issued new deportation guidelines that amount to
backdoor amnesty and strike another blow at millions of unemployed U.S.
workers.
Under
the administration’s new deportation policy, DHS officials review all incoming
and most pending cases before an immigration court to determine if the illegal
immigrant can remain in the U.S. Since the administration has made clear that
many illegal immigrants are not considered priorities for removal, including
potential DREAM Act beneficiaries, this could open the door to allow millions
of illegal immigrants to live and work in the U.S. without a vote of Congress.
The Obama administration
has also cut worksite enforcement efforts by 70%, allowing illegal immigrants
to continue working in jobs that rightfully belong to citizens and legal
workers. And the list goes on and on – this administration has a pattern
of ignoring the laws and intent of Congress.
The United States is based on the rule of law but the Obama
administration already has dirty hands by abusing administrative authority to
grant amnesty to illegal immigrants. The DREAM Act doesn’t stop illegal
immigration—it only encourages more of it by rewarding lawbreakers.
