Disgusted ICE Agent Faces Down ‘Gang of Eight’ in Dramatic Senate Testimony (Video)

“Never before have I seen such contempt for law enforcement officers
as what I’ve seen from the Gang of Eight”
- Chris Crane, ICE Agent union president.

-

Last week, ICE union chief Chris Crane won a stunning initial court victory in his lawsuit against the Obama Administration. As we reported, Federal Judge Federal Judge Reed O’Connor told the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that they had no power to refuse to deport illegal aliens, and that he was likely to strike down Obama's virtual "DACA" amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. The ruling stunned Washington, and Crane's lawsuit could derail Obama's four-year effort to undermine immigration enforcement nationwide.

In Senate testimony (video below), President of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council Crane slammed the Obama administration and the Senate’s Gang of Eight for including advocates for illegal aliens, but excluding law enforcement from providing input on the new 'immigration reform' legislation.

Crane testified before the Senate expressing his disgust that law enforcement was shut out of the negotiations on immigration reform. Crane was sitting right next to National Council of La Raza ("The Race") president Janet Murguia when he made his comments. La Raza - a racist intimidation group originally funded by the Mexican Government - was outrageously welcomed to help write the immigration bill, while law enforcement agents were shunned.

Crane recounted to the Judiciary Committee how he was physically escorted out of a Gang of Eight press conference last week and “spoken to with anger and disrespect.”

“Never before have I seen such contempt for law enforcement officers as what I’ve seen from the Gang of Eight,” he said.

Crane told the Judiciary Committee:

Lawmaking in our nation has indeed taken a strange twist. Senators invite illegal aliens to testify before Congress…but American citizens working as law enforcement officers within our nation’s broken immigration system are purposely excluded from the process and prohibited from providing input.

Suffice it to say, following the Boston terrorist attack, I was appalled to hear the Gang of Eight telling America that its legislation was what American law enforcement needs.

Crane criticized Obama and Congress for choosing a path of legalization for illegals rather than allowing immigration agents to crackdown on enforcement.

“Unbelievably, [this bill] gives far greater authority to the president and secretary of DHS. Exactly the opposite of what our country needs to create a consistent and effective immigration system,” Crane concluded.

What a brave man with principles and conviction. He stands with the Constitution and we should stand with him. This was a huge first victory in the courts.

The question is, who will get to him first, Obama or McCain?

Three and half more years of this! The RNC better throw everything they got at 2014. The House must be kept and the Senate won. Yes, I know it will be the feckless Repub leadership, but the Dems will be ineffective as well. And Obama will not have the redoubt of a Dem Senate majority to mask his agenda. The big O will be forced to veto or sign bills, including a budget.

I’m not hearing a peep from the Repubs. I have a feeling it’s going to be us versus both parties on this.

Either we stop these people, or America will be destroyed, and quickly.

NO, they are throwing every person against amnesty under the bus.

I agree sadly it seems the arms of the Mexican government (La Raza) have already inflirated our traitorous political leaders.

Thanks for the ping, and I completely agree with you.

Any of our lawmakers who stand with La Raza and against Chris Cane must not be forgotten, and vice versa.

That video is a must-see.

What do Schumer, Durbin, Menendez, Bennet, McCain, Flake, Graham and Rubio have in common?

They all proposed the bill on Amnesty for illegals while you were watching the coverage on Boston.
