FEDS MUM ON PROSECUTION OF ILLEGAL BORDER CROSSERS BY ASTRID GALVAN ASSOCIATED PRESS

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- The federal government refuses to say whether prosecutors in Yuma, Arizona, have scaled back a years-old program that guarantees jail time for most immigrants caught crossing the border illegally and which law enforcement officials say is crucial to public safety.

Reports that federal prosecutors have stopped some prosecutions under Operation Streamline surfaced nearly two weeks ago when Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake wrote a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder seeking information on the status of the zero-tolerance program that circumvents the civil immigration system and lumps together months' worth of criminal proceedings into one day for immigrants caught crossing the border illegally.

Wink and nod; the Feds want these illegal immigrants.
Ask yourself this: why?

I posit that it is for several reasons:

  1. Most of these are from countries where there is no tradition of liberty; importing that will allow the government to be more tyrannical and corrupt.
  2. Possibly trying to import Mexico's Napoleonic legal tradition — whatever is not expressly legal is illegal, rather than the English common law of whatever isn't expressly illegal is legal.
  3. Displacing the middle-class; the more that the elite can widen the gap between the average citizen and themselves, the more power they have.

Pro-amnesty American citizens must think that the rest of us 300,000,000 Americans are blind and stupid.

Pro-amnesty people demand that President Obama give work visas to at least 8,000,000+ illegals.

But pro-amnesty traitors conveniently forget to mention that many of these 8,000,000 illegals who will get work visas have husbands/wives and children.

24,000,000 illegals get amnesty: Pro-amnesty people are not really talking about 8,000,000 illegals, because they secretly know in their hearts that they are really talking about more like 24,000,000 illegals----3 times 8,000,000 illegals--- who will eventually get AMNESTY when President Obama takes his pen and quickly signs his executive order in a few weeks.

how did I arrive at the number of 24,000,000 illegals? I did it this way: I multiplied 8,000,000 illegals by 3.

1. Obviously, illegal immigrant men need their wives and children to keep them company. and many of them are already here.

2. And illegal immigrant women need their husbands to help them with the children.

3. Also, these illegal immigrants with their new work visas will now have no fear that immigration agents will be coming to their home to check to see how many in the household besides the visa holder are here legally.

4. So once they get their work visas, they can invite any number of relatives to live with them without fear that immigration officials will be coming to their unexpectedly to check the status of the people in the home. As long as visa holders pay their rent on time and their children attend school, we can be sure that no immigration officials will bother them and their families.

My point is this: Work visa holders and their growing families will be here forever. Basically, deportation of these illegals and their families will never happen, if President Obama has his way and goes ahead and signs his executive order soon after the midterm election.

5. You see, you can't very well legalize 8,000,000 illegals by giving them work visas, on the one hand, and then, on the other hand, turn around and deport husbands and wives and children of the work visa holders, persons who may not qualify for work visas for one reason or the other.

6. So I believe that multiplying 8,000,000 illegals by 3 is a good conservative estimate of how many illegals will immediately benefit from President Obama's executive order---an estimate based on a household with two parents, one child.

7.Of course, many households will be single households with no children.

8.But, as we know, many, many households of illegals who will be given work visas will have two or more children, so all those many children will easily make up for those households in my 24,000,000 estimate that have no children.

9. So that is the way I concluded that 24,000,000+ illegals will really get amnesty when traitor President Obama gives away our country with the simple signing of his executive order: 8,000,000 million illegal work visa holders times a conservative estimate of 3 member's in each illegal immigrant household.

10. Again, when President Obama quickly signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections, he will NOT be giving amnesty to just 8,000,000 illegals as the pro-amnesty people want us to believe.

11. Rather, when the smoke clears, anti-amnesty people will wake up one morning and suddenly realize that the pro-amnesty people and President Obama have pulled off one of the biggest scams in history, because President Obama will really give amnesty to 24,000,000 illegals, not 8,000,000 illegals as President Obama will claim when he signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections.

NOTE: 'Because it was the right thing to do." This is Obama's favorite phrase when he wants to justify his decision on a controversial subject like illegal immigration.

It is as if Obama wants us to believe that his decision is divinely inspired, that is, God himself told him what to do. What a bunch of crap.

So be prepared to hear Obama's phrase---"Because it was the right thing to do"---over and over after Obama signs the worst executive order ever.

It is the worst ever because President Obama will lie to us and give amnesty to not 8,000,000 illegals as Obama will lead us to believe when he signs the executive order, but to an unbelievable number of 24,000,000 illegals. Sick. Sick. Sick.

More likely closer to 30 million than 24. 24 million would be an average household size of three, as you point out. How many do you you think have way more than three?

Get ready for another mexican-american war. This time though, the feds will either have to sit this one out, or be declared mexican collaborators, and will be dealt with as such. Either way, this war WILL happen, and it will be ugly. This is what happens when you put personal power grabs over national sovereignty.

This sums up how Obama does everything. He came out, announcing that these kids would definitely be deported, so stop sending them across the border. Then he has a token busload or two drive a bunch of kids right past a bunch of media camcorders. Then they trot out Carney/Earnest to mock anyone who questions them on it. A few weeks pass and the media has lost all interest. At this point, the “real” Obama policy kicks in, months go by before anyone begins to notice what’s going on. Then they obfuscate/stonewall and/or claim this is an old issue, no longer even relevant to discuss and the media tows the line. End of Cycle

I doubt the Feds Mum (nor the Feds Dad?) will comment about any prosecution, nor will they mention where they placed many of them. These are, after all, the necessary “voters” who will help them swing the upcoming November elections.

Did you hear about the school in California where they BANNED the American flag on Cinco De Mayo day and flew the Mexican flag? And the court UPHELD IT! Is that the most blatant display of surrender to a foreign nation or what? Mark Levin was going on an epic tear over this yesterday on his show.
