10 Things You Need to Know About Obama’s Amnesty

August 16, 2012 By Kristen Williamson 2 Comments

Yesterday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began accepting applications for deferred action through US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). FAIR has been closely tracking developments in President Obama’s executive amnesty since its announcement on June 15. Below are some of the things you need to know about the President’s unilateral changes to U.S. immigration policy.

  1. President Obama’s amnesty will add nearly 2 million workers – possibly more – to the U.S. job market. This is a negligent economic and social policy with over 8% unemployment and half of recent young college graduates unemployed or underemployed.
  2. Lax documentation requirements to prove eligibility. DHS application instructions explicitly state that only copies of documents will be required to meet the eligibility criteria for amnesty including length of presence in the U.S., education, and even identity. Also, illegal aliens will be able to submit any and all documents they deem relevant to prove their eligibility. Virtually any form of documentation will be accepted, from report cards and plane tickets to mere personal correspondence.
  3. The Administration is making this up as they go along. In June, President Obama touted this policy as the “right thing to do” for some of the best and brightest. However, it is clear that the educational, residency and character requirements are becoming increasingly lax as more details about the implementation of the amnesty emerge.
  4. No face-to-face interview required. Most applications will be approved based only on the documentation submitted.
  5. Few safeguards against and limited consequences for filing fraudulent applications or documents. If DHS is actually diligent enough to identify fraud, the new amnesty instructions merely state that the Administration “may” elect to penalize illegal aliens by denying immigration benefits or placing them into removal proceedings. However, since illegal aliens are only required to submit copies – which lack identifiers of authenticity – it is unknown how USCIS employees will be able to identify fraud in the first place.
  6. USCIS turns blind eye to past illegal employment. Illegal aliens may use employment records to show eligibility for amnesty despite the fact illegal aliens are barred from working in the U.S. Past employers of illegal alien applicants are not likely to face prosecution for hiring illegal aliens.
  7. Family of deferred action recipients will also reap the benefits. Application instructions explicitly state that information collected on an illegal alien will not be used against him or her, or their “family members and guardians,” for the purpose of immigration enforcement.
  8. Illegal aliens granted work authorization can obtain Social Security cards. Illegal aliens granted deferred action must apply for employment authorization if they present an “economic necessity.” Once received, DHS work authorization will allow them to apply for a Social Security Number and possibly other benefits like driver’s licenses.
  9. Illegal aliens with a criminal history DO qualify. DHS says only felony convictions will make illegal aliens ineligible for amnesty, and even then, convictions won’t necessarily be considered if they are expunged. Additionally, criminal convictions in foreign countries will go undetected and DHS will “exercise discretion” when considering juvenile records.
  10. USCIS doesn’t have a great track record. Earlier this year, the DHS Inspector General found that USCIS leadership told employees to rubber-stamp applications for immigration benefits – including work authorization. In leaked documents to the Associated Press, USCIS estimated that it will review 3,000 deferred action and work authorization applications daily, only increasing the pressure to overlook possible fraud and approve benefits quickly.

The study, based on 2010 and 2011 census data, found that 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S. at least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as high as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent immigrants.

“Law enforcement and public safety have taken a back seat to attempts to satisfy immigrant advocacy groups,” Crane told the panel of congressmen.

“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.”

Slow path to progress for U.S. immigrants

43% on welfare after 20 years



Bottom of Form

Immigrants lag behind native-born Americans on most measures of economic well-being — even those who have been in the U.S. the longest, according to a report from the Center for Immigration Studies, which argues that full assimilation is a more complex task than overcoming language or cultural differences.

The study, which covers all immigrants, legal and illegal, and their U.S.-born children younger than 18, found that immigrants tend to make economic progress by most measures the longer they live in the U.S. but lag well behind native-born Americans on factors such as poverty, health insurance coverage and homeownership.

The study, based on 2010 and 2011 census data, found that 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S. at least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as high as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent immigrants.

The report was released at a time when both major presidential candidates have backed policies that would make it easier to immigrate legally and would boost the numbers of people coming to the U.S.

Steven A. Camarota, the center’s research director and author of the 96-page study, said it shows that questions about the pros and cons of immigration extend well beyond the sheer numbers and touch on the broader consequences of assimilating a population defined by tougher socioeconomic challenges.

“Look, we know a lot of these folks are going to be poor, we get it. But don’t tell the public it’s all going great, which is the story line I think a lot of people want to sell,” Mr. Camarota said. “There is progress over time. Every measure shows improvement over time, but still, the situation does not look like we’d like it to look, particularly for the less-educated. They lag well behind natives even when they’ve been here for two decades, and that is very disconcerting.”

Federal law requires that the government deny immigrant visas to potential immigrants who are likely to be unable to support themselves and thereby become public charges.

On Tuesday, a handful of Republican senators wrote to the Homeland Security and State departments asking them to explain why they don’t consider whether potential immigrants would use many of the nearly 80 federal welfare programs when they evaluate visa applications.

Neither department responded to messages Tuesday seeking a response to the senators’ letter.

Expanding legal immigration is a contentious issue for voters, the vast majority of whom tell pollsters that they want the levels either retained or decreased.

But most politicians want legal immigration expanded.

During his time in the U.S. SenateBarack Obama backed bills that would have dramatically boosted legal immigration, potentially by hundreds of thousands a year. As president, he has called for the same thing.

(LA RAZA DEMS FEINSTEIN AND BOXER HAVE THREE (3) TIMES ATTEMPTED A “SPECIAL AMNESTY” FOR 1.5 MILLION “CHEAP” LABOR ILLEGAL FARM WORKERS. THEY DO THIS ON BEHALF OF THEIR FILTHY RICH BIG AG BIZ DONORS…. DESPITE THE FACT THAT ONE-THIRD OF ALL “CHEAP” FARM WORKERS WILL END UP ON WELFARE! – CA NOW PUTS OUT $22 BILLION PER YEAR IN SOCIAL SERVICES TO ILLEGALS!!!

NOT ONE AMERICAN (LEGAL) VOTED TO BE MEXICO’S WELFARE STATE! DEMS ARE THE PARTY of ILLEGALS!)

“We need to provide our farms a legal way to hire workers that they rely on, and a path for those workers to earn legal status. And our laws should respect families following the rules — reuniting them more quickly instead of splitting them apart,” Mr. Obama said in a major speech on the subject in El Paso, Texas, in 2011.

His presumed Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, in June called for increasing legal immigration for students who study in high-tech fields and admitting unlimited family members of those who hold green cards.

“Our immigration system should help promote strong families as well — not keep them apart. Our nation benefits when moms and dads and their kids are all living together under the same roof,” Mr. Romney told the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials.

Mr. Camarota’s report took a broad look at the immigrant population and found that immigrants are contributing to major changes in American society, including that one-fourth of public school students now speak languages other than English at home.

It also found that immigrants as a population lead complex economic lives that aren’t easily put into one category or another.

Immigrants made up more than half of all farmworkers, 41 percent of taxi drivers and 48 percent of maids and housecleaners, but they also represented about one-third of all computer programmers and 27 percent of doctors.

The statistics varied greatly by geography. In Massachusetts, native-led households averaged $89,000 in income while immigrant households averaged $66,000.

In Virginia, immigrant-led households averaged $93,000 in income, far outstripping native households’ $80,000 average. Likewise, immigrant families averaged a larger tax burden in Virginia — though they also had higher rates of use of welfare or Medicaid.

The center found that use of public benefits varied dramatically based on where immigrants originated.

Mexicans were most likely to use means-tested benefit programs, with 57 percent, while 6 percent of those from the United Kingdom did. The rate for native-born Americans is 23 percent.

Mr. Camarota said a key dividing line is educational attainment. Immigrants who have been in the U.S. 20 years and who have bachelor’s degrees or higher make slightly more than the average native-born American. But immigrants with only high school educations make less no matter how long they have been in the U.S.

“The fact is the less-educated in particular — they don’t do well over time,” he said. “It’s not reasonable to expect an immigrant who comes to America with only a high school education to close the gap with the native-born.”

Scholars debate whether the current wave of immigrants will assimilate differently from those in the 1800s and at the start of the 20th century.

George Borjas, a Harvard University professor, has argued that second-generation Americans — the children of today’s immigrants — will fall behind in wages by about 10 percent by 2030.

(THE BELOW STATS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ASSIMILATION! COME TO MEXIFORNIA WHERE 90% OF ALL SERVICE SECTOR AND CONSTRUCTION JOBS ARE HELD BY MEXICANS. YOU WON’T HEAR THEM SPEAKING ENGLISH!)

But in “Assimilation Tomorrow,” a report released in November, Dowell Myers and John Pitkin said immigrants of the 1990s eventually will attain high rates of homeownership and 71 percent will become U.S. citizens by 2030.

Those authors said immigrants were set back by the recent recession but were still on track to follow the same assimilation path as previous waves of immigrants.

(THE THING IS… MOST SOURCES PUT THE NUMBER OF ILLEGALS AT 40 MILLION AND BREEDING FAST! THERE ARE 12 MILLION OF THESE “11 MILLION” ILLEGALS IN SOUTHERN CA ALONE!)

They also said a program to legalize the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. would be critical to helping assimilation.

ICE, Border Patrol Unions Denounce Administration's Immigration Policies



At a Capitol Hill press conference last Thursday, leaders from the two unions representing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and Border Patrol agents denounced the Obama Administration's immigration policy. Flanked by Senators Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), and David Vitter (R-LA), these two union leaders painted a stark picture of the state of immigration enforcement across the United States.

ICE union leader Chris Crane, who represents over 7,000 agents, decried the Obama Administration's policy of "prosecutorial discretion," which directs enforcement agents to release illegal aliens who do not meet the Administration's enforcement priorities. Calling it "a failing policy," Crane described how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had launched it without any planning or foresight. "Every manager in the field is interpreting these new policies different," Crane said. "It's impossible to even get a picture of what our priorities are now. I have never seen or heard of the type of fly by the seat of your pants, disorganized confusion in a law enforcement organization like what we are currently experiencing at ICE." (CQ Transcript, July 26, 2012)



Mr. Crane also sharply criticized the President's new policy that grants "deferred action" to illegal aliens who meet the eligibility criteria for the DREAM Act. In particular, he warned of wide-spread abuse of the process. "Prosecutorial discretion for DREAMers," Crane said, "is solely based on the individual's claims. Our orders are: if an alien says they went to high school, then let them go; if they say they have a GED, then let them go. Officers have been told that there is no burden for the alien to prove anything. .... At this point, we do not understand why DHS has any criteria at all, as there is no requirement or burden to prove anything on the part of the alien. We believe a significant number of people who are not DREAMers are taking advantage of this practice to avoid arrest." (Id.)



Meanwhile Border Patrol Council President George McCubbin criticized the attempt by DHS to portray the drop in illegal alien arrest rates as a sign of success. The drop in arrest rates, McCubbin said, had more to do with the Administration's change in enforcement tactics than its success at combating illegal immigration. He noted as examples, DHS's termination of immigration checks at transportation hubs near the border and its recent decision to close nine border patrol stations. "Apprehensions at just one of our stations have fallen from over 600 annually to just under 30 even though now they have 10 times the number of agents assigned to that one station." In short, McCubbin said, "Our agency has made it impossible for the agents to go out there and do their jobs." (Id.)



Like Crane, McCubbin also had strong words regarding President Obama's policy of "prosecutorial discretion." "The action taken by President Obama undermines immigration enforcement. Fraud will run rampant and our agents will have to err on the side of caution to grant prosecutorial discretion so that they don't put themselves into a position where they may find themselves involved in a civil lawsuit. ... The agents we represent are not happy regarding this. We feel as if we are political victims." (Id.)

The press conference came just days after FAIR released its report President Obama's Record of Dismantling Immigration Enforcement, a step-by-step look at how the President has undermined immigration enforcement and the rule of law.

OBAMA FUNDS LA RAZA SUPREMACY WHICH OPERATES OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE UNDER LA RAZA VP 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






PresidentObama 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 TO BUILD HIS PARTY BASE of ILLEGALS



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 workertrying 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 deportationsand 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 21stCentury 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.”
