Mexico detains man accused in "Fast and Furious" gun-running killing
Reuters – 21 hrs ago
Federal police detained Jesus Leonel Sanchez Meza on Thursday in Sonora state, which borders Arizona, where agent Brian Terry was shot dead in December 2010, the Public Security Ministry said. The Mexican Attorney General's Office plans to extradite Sanchez Meza to the United States, the ministry said in a statement.
Two guns found at the scene were traced to a botched U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) sting operation called "Fast and Furious" that allowed weapons to slip across the border. It was not clear, however, if those weapons fired the fatal shots.
Four others have been accused in the shooting, the ministry said. Officials did not say if they were also being detained.
Republicans have criticized U.S. President Barack Obama's administration for allowing the Fast and Furious program, which led to some calls for Attorney General Eric Holder to resign.
In June, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives found Holder, the nation's top law enforcement official, in contempt for withholding documents related to the failed gun-running probe.
Early this year Terry's family filed a $25 million wrongful-death claim against the U.S. government, saying he was killed because federal investigators allowed guns to fall into the hands of violent criminals.
The FBI has offered $250,000 for information leading to the capture of Terry's killer.

Record Number of Foreigners Were Deported
in 2011, Officials Say
Immigration enforcement authorities detained and deported
record numbers of illegal immigrants in 2011 and are on track for similar
figures this year, even as the numbers of migrants crossing the border
illegally dropped to a 40-year low, according to data published Friday by the Department of Homeland Security.
Immigration agents deported 391,953 foreign-born
people during the 2011 fiscal year, the department’s Office of Immigration
Statistics reported. They
included more than 188,000 people who had been convicted of crimes in the
United States — an “all-time high” for such deportations, the report found.
Citizens of four Latin American countries —
Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador — made up 93 percent of all people
deported last year.
With just one month to go in the 2012 fiscal
year, deportations were down slightly, with just over 366,000 people expelled
through Aug. 31. But they include more than 191,000 convicted criminals, more
than last year, according to figures
from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, one of several agencies in the department.
The figures provide a backdrop to the
administration’s political calculations on the thorny issue of immigration as President
Obama heads
into the last stretch before the November elections. Although Homeland Security
Department officials have said they are focusing their efforts on criminals,
the fast pace of deportations in the last two years was felt in many Latino
immigrant communities, and caused growing disillusionment with Mr. Obama.
Pressure from Latino and immigrant groups helped
persuade Mr. Obama to take a
sweeping executive action in June
to suspend deportations temporarily for as many as 1.7 million young illegal
immigrants who came to this country as children. The program, which has been
very popular among Latinos, began to accept
applications on Aug. 15.
Homeland Security Department officials have not yet reported that any
applicants have been approved and their deportations deferred.
In spite of the sharp increases in deportations
of criminals, Mr. Obama’s policies have not won him friends on the other side
of the political divide. Republicans in Congress say the deferred deportations
are a backdoor amnesty, and they accuse the administration of crippling
enforcement by demanding that agents steer away from arresting illegal
immigrants if they are not convicted criminals.
In addition to formal deportations, last year
Homeland Security Department agents expelled about 324,000 foreigners back to
their countries without formal court proceedings, according to the report. Most
were illegal immigrants who agreed to leave voluntarily after they were
detained, rather than be removed by the authorities.
According to the new figures, Immigration and
Customs Enforcement, which is known as ICE, detained about 429,000 immigrants last
year, another record.
Homeland security authorities have increasingly
concentrated their efforts at the border with Mexico, with the majority of
detentions and expulsions coming there. In 2011, the Border Patrol captured
about 335,000 migrants trying to cross illegally, the lowest number since 1971,
and the figures are continuing to drop. High rates of unemployment here and
intensified border enforcement have discouraged many migrants from Mexico and
Central America from attempting illegal crossings, officials said.
The Republican presidential nominee, Mitt
Romney, has said his priority would be tougher border enforcement. He has not
said if he would cancel the deferred deportations program.

THE OBAMA IMMIGRATION POLICY:
NEUTER I.C.E., AND PUT AN OPEN BORDERS
ADVOCATE TO HEAD IT.
STOP THE BUILDING OF THE WALL.
TAKE 600 BORDER GUARDS OFF THE BORDER,
THEN PUT 1,200 IN DESK JOBS.
SUE LEGALS IN ARIZONA AS THE MEX DRUG
CARTELS MAKE DOG FOOD OF OUR TERRORIZED BORDERS!
SABOTAGE E-VERIFY.
FILL THE ADMINISTRATION WITH LA RAZA
PARTY MEMBERS, SUCH AS HILDA SOLIS.
HISPANDER FOR THE ILLEGALS’ ILLEGAL
VOTES.
…. There’s nothing new to any of this.
Obama’s “change” merely meant we faced the accelerated verison of BIT BY BIT
AMNESTY under Bush, Hillary, Billary and Bush2.
“BUT REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS SAID THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION WAS MOVING TOWARD A DE FACTO LEGALIZATION PROGRAM BY ALLOWING
SOME ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO REMAIN HERE DESPITE THEIR VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW!”
“…and was denounced by several Republicans as evidence that the Obama administration was weakening enforcement and making it easier for illegal immigrants to remain in the country.”
*
HISPANDERING:
“The memo encourages ICE officers and lawyers to use their authority
to dismiss those cases, canceling the deportation proceedings, if they
determine that the immigrants have no criminal records and stand a strong
chance of having their residence applications approved.”

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...

President
Obama’s Record of Dismantling Immigration Enforcement
President Obama’s Record of
Dismantling Immigration Enforcement
Foreword
President
Barack Obama came to office in 2009 and pledged that during his first year of
office he would enact amnesty legislation for illegal aliens living in the
United States. That, of course, did not happen — not because of any lack of
ideological commitment on the part of the President, but because of pragmatic
considerations. Only two years earlier, President Obama, then Senator Obama, watched
as President George W. Bush tried to toss the American people into the boiling
cauldron of comprehensive amnesty in 2007. It didn't work. Voters angrily
crashed the Capitol switchboard on the day the Senate was set to vote and as a
result, fourteen Democrats joined thirty-nine Republicans to vote down the
amnesty legislation.1 The President concluded, correctly, that there just
is not an appetite in Congress for another politically bruising fight over
comprehensive amnesty.
Understanding
that Members of Congress ultimately would not ignore the unequivocal objections
of their constituents to amnesty, the Obama Administration opted to adopt a
strategy of dismantling immigration enforcement in order to achieve the same
ends. The Administration hoped that while the American people were
focused on unemployment, crashing real estate values, banking scandals, health
care reform, foreign policy crises, and countless other issues, they would not
notice just what was actually taking place.
This
report details how the Obama Administration has carried out a policy of de
facto amnesty for millions of illegal aliens through executive policy
decisions. Since 2009, the Obama Administration has systematically gutted
effective immigration enforcement policies, moved aggressively against state
and local governments that attempt to enforce immigration laws, and stretched
the concept of "prosecutorial discretion" to a point where it has
rendered many immigration laws meaningless. Remarkably, the Administration has
succeeded in doing all this with barely a peep of protest from Congress.
Thus,
despite the fact that the U.S. Constitution grants Congress plenary authority
over immigration policy, the Executive Branch is now making immigration policy
unconstrained by constitutional checks and balances. This report
chronologically highlights the process that has unfolded over the past three
and half years. A review of the Obama Administration's record shows:
·
The Administration's
conscious effort to end policies that effectively enforce and deter illegal
immigration. This includes the cessation of meaningful worksite enforcement
against employers who hire illegal aliens and the removal of the illegal
workers. It also includes ending effective partnership programs with state and
local governments, such as the 287(g) program, that provide a structure through
which state and local agencies may enforce immigration laws.
·
The Administration's
intimidation of state and local governments determined to enforce federal
immigration laws. President Obama has turned the Department of Justice into the
Administration's attack dog, filing lawsuits against states that pass their own
immigration enforcement laws. When lawsuits fail, the Department's Civil Rights
division launches meritless investigations designed to harass local governments
and officials who attempt to enforce the law.
·
The Administration's
dependence on illegal alien advocates to make U.S. immigration policy for the
Executive Branch. President Obama has placed strident amnesty advocates in key
positions throughout his Administration. These appointees have worked openly
with advocacy groups to shape a series of policies that amount to backdoor
amnesty.
·
Outright deception on the
part of the Administration designed to convince the American public that
immigration laws are being vigorously enforced. The Obama Administration
repeatedly engages in efforts to inflate its record of deporting illegal
aliens. These deceptive practices include the release of data that is later
exposed to be inaccurate. The Departments of Justice and Homeland Security
carefully select data to claim that our "borders are more secure than
ever," even as violence along the southern border escalates to alarming
proportions.
The Obama
Administration's strategy is to count on the fact that the public and the media
will not take notice of each individual and incremental step they are taking to
undermine immigration enforcement and grant de facto amnesty to as many illegal
aliens as possible. This report exposes the strategy and the policy objectives
behind it.

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."
