In the wake of the recent memo from the Obama administration which announced “prosecutorial discretion” in dealing with illegal aliens, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents across the country have been speaking out what many of them are calling a “backdoor amnesty.”
On Wednesday, ICE Union president Chris Crane told PRNewswire:“Any American concerned about immigration needs to brace themselves for what's coming. This is just one of many new ICE policies in queue aimed at stopping the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws in the United States. Unable to pass its immigration agenda through legislation, the Administration is now implementing it through agency policy.”
Crane continued: “ICE and the Administration have excluded our union and our agents from the entire process of developing policies, it was all kept secret from us, we found out from the newspapers. ICE worked hand-in-hand with immigrants rights groups, but excluded its own officers.”
Also ignored by the press, was last year's no confidence vote ICE agents gave Obama appointee, ICE director John Morton.
The National ICE Council represents about 7,000 agents and support staff.
Those agents, just as many American citizens are also convinced that the new policy, which gives special preference to illegal aliens who have a relative who has served in the military, those who are enrolled in any education program and even those who are pregnant or nursing is simply to a move from an unpopular president, desperate for re-election.
Crane said: “The desires of foreign nationals illegally in the United States were the framework from which these policies were developed. The result is a means for every person here illegally to avoid arrest or detention, as officers we will never know who we can or cannot arrest.”
Perhaps, most troubling are the “secret” orders under which ICE agents are reportedly now operating.

YES! We have to take the senate also.
Then begin the long and hard transition back to sanity!
Romney is worse than Barry Obama? Give me a break.
Boehner is so weak it is sickening. He needs to go.
“Illegally changing the country’s demographics to take control, while accusing citizens who don’t like it of “racism”.
“
Bingo!
Politicians kiss up to everyone EXCEPT honest hard-working Americans.
The time for revolution is nigh.
Thank you for posting. I was on the border, with the Minutemen and other groups for over 5 years and I know many border patrol agents.
Actually, this is also Bush’s fault. Obama is making it much much worse.
The Republicans had 6 years to secure the border and they did not do it, even after 911.
Could you please put me on your list? Thanks
They use us as slaves. All they see is "sweat equity."
They take all they can scam from us and then use our sweat to buy votes, power, and a luxurious lifestyles for themselves.
When was the last time either party eliminated a tax slave supported slacker program? When was the last time the Republicans did anything to seriously get the democrat freeloaders off our backs? When was the last time any politician did anything to free the slaves?
Every now and then they let us keep a few dollars of our own money, and we say "Hooray!."
It's Pathetic.
Have no fear. Mitt has the heart of a RINO, and the backbone of a snake. He won’t do it.
I hate being so down about our present situation. I want to be optimistic (honest I do). When our leadership, as currently does, represents something other than America and Americans though the ship has already sailed. This battle is lost. It was planned out long ago. I pray I'm wrong, yet see nothing which says otherwise. We lost.
On November 6, 2012, do the AMERICAN thing: Vote for the AMERICAN.
I knew that it was a mistake and that the the gop screwed us as soon as he was announced Speaker.
LLS
And pray voting will be enough to stem the tide. Cannot take out all the vermin with our votes this cycle yet can continue what happened in 2010 in our attempts to put up the sea wall.
It would be nice to think the next POTUS would undo all this EO, administrative, and regulatory damage plus enforce existing laws. Next POTUS could start by thoroughly cleaning house and putting his own people in place. The fear is Romney won’t do that.
An Obama probably had to happen sooner or later. Especially in a country like USA where people are willing to take a g’mnt handout for a backache or mental distress.
However,there can be a good side to all this. Many of the people who are willing drones or sellouts are now exposed.
I hope to God, Romney’s people,or at least people around him, are paying serious attention.
That includes people on the Republican side as well.
People like Bonehner and McCain are generally bad for America truly moving forward.
Anyhow, there is something very twisted when a child pervert gets less trouble then someone who doesn’t comply with the EPA and such.
Or, illegals can not be questioned???
The press is like a dem PR firm - or PR Newswire - they're bought...
I blame a certain group of conservatives that didn’t back Newt after his SC victory because they thought he was morally objectionable. Too bad for them and me because I won’t be voting for a President this year.
The FACT is Romney won't do that. Anyone that thinks Romney will change anything is mistaken.
