U.S. Immigration Officers Give Frightening Warning
http://blog.heritage.org ^ | November 1, 2013 | David Inserra

Posted on 11/02/2013 9:35:12 PM PDT by lowbridge

Chris Crane, president of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Council, which represents immigration enforcement officers, recently called on Congress to resist immigration reforms that harm his officers’ ability to do their jobs:

"ICE officers are being ordered by [Administration] political appointees to ignore the law. Violent criminal aliens are released every day from jails back into American communities. ICE Officers face disciplinary action for engaging in routine law enforcement actions. We are barred from enforcing large sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act, even when public safety is at risk. Officer morale is devastated."

If this were the U.S. Capitol Police, the Secret Service, or the military, Congress would be outraged, the President would react firmly and swiftly, and pundits and groups from across the country would be demanding this problem be fixed. Sadly, though, nothing is being done to fix this broken and dangerous state of affairs.

In fact, the situation is even scarier. As the ICE letter points out, President Obama continues to order ICE officers to ignore ever-growing sections of immigration law and undertake actions that create a risk to public safety.

DC is full of scumbags more interested in lining their pockets than the welfare of the Country.

WTF.

Watching these things unfold is like watching the bath water circle the drain hole, round and round, finally dropping out of sight.

Pray for America.

If Obama wants to not enforce some laws why doesn’t he do the entire nation a big favor and start with the “Affordable” Care Act?

” “ICE officers are being ordered by [Administration] political appointees to ignore the law.”

disobey illegal order , visit revenge upon those that issue them . It wouldn’t take many cases and the notion of issuing illegal orders would cease .

disobey illegal order

and get fired for that? Obama would love such a purge; it would be done by people themselves, self-identifying as patriots.

visit revenge upon those that issue them

There is no legal way to do that. Illegal ways will result in arrests and convictions. See above.

This is the problem with mass resistance to anything - it always starts with the first resister, and he *will* be totally destroyed as a lesson to others. This is why well planned actions begin simultaneously everywhere. Or, to quote someone who was well acquainted with the issue, "We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately."

More news that will be buried by the mainstream media.

The media is our real enemy. The Democrats would be nothing without the media doing their bidding.

Why doesn’t Obama stop farting around and just do away with ICE, and the Border Patrol too??

Put a plug in the drain and turn the water on again to a nice warm temperature. Only one way though, takes direct action, the plug won’t place itself.

Another reason to impeach odumbo and his ilk for treason.

It’s time to choose sides. Ask yourself what side you are on.

WHAT IS A PATRIOT?

PATRIOTS are not “Revolutionaries” trying to overthrow the government of the United States.

PATRIOTS are “Counter-Revolutionaries” trying to prevent the government of the United States, from overthrowing the Constitution of the United States.

So, who do we shoot first, the [Administration] political appointees giving the orders or the criminal aliens?

It would seem that Chris Crane has done exactly that.

He'll get nowhere fast in the current administration with that attitude.

“It doesn’t matter what kind of legislation Congress comes out with
as long as presidents of the United States can pick and choose
what parts of the law they will or will not enforce.
And then as President Obama has done
— he has even gone beyond that —
and has made his own policies, replacing law with policies,”
Crane explained in an interview Monday with The Daily Caller.
