Department of Homeland Security Refuses to Enforce Immigration Law

Through his DHS secretary, President Obama continues to make life in the United States more dangerous. Janet Napolitanto is doing everything she can to stop the enforcement of immigration law in the US. She has said that she will only concentrate on "criminal aliens" when enforcing federal immigration law. But wait if they came into the US illegally aren't they ALL "criminal aliens?" She is also directing DHS to gag local law enforcement agencies around the country to protect the privacy of illegal aliens...

“Any information regarding individuals encountered through the enforcement of federal law is ultimately protected,” Nantel said. “We need to be sure that prior to the release of information, an appropriate determination is made regarding those protections.”

The DHS's agreements with local law enforcement agencies--known as Memorandums of Agreement (MOA)--guide the 287(g) program, which was created in 2003 as an amendment to the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. The 287(g) program trains and certifies state and local law enforcement personnel to enforce federal immigration law.

Earlier this month, President Obama's Justice Department and the Department of Homeland Security have decided to strip Sheriff Joe Arpaio of "official authority" to capture illegal immigrants because he was too successful. In the last three years has handed over 30,000 illegal immigrants to Immigration for deportation, but the Obama administration says the priority for local law enforcers should be illegal aliens arrested for or convicted of crimes not people arrested in task force sweeps simply for being in the U.S. illegally (Sheriff Joe's "Mistake").

They want to make the US open to anyone. It goes along with Obama’s plan to destroy this country and make it no better than any other third-world country.

Their privacy? The woman is a raving loony. They break our laws to come here, and she is more worried about their “privacy rights,” than upholding our laws and protecting our country. You come here illegally, privacy should be the least of your thieving parasite worries.

One World Government is not possible until each nation is so diluted with immigrants that there is no distinction, patriotism, or nationalism.

This is a direct effort to achieve this.

The ONLY purpose of the federal government was
TO PROTECT THE STATES.
