Immigration Enforcement Isn’t Smart, Obama Says
Posted By Neil Munro On 4:44 PM 05/13/2014
Enforcing immigration law “isn’t smart,” President Barack Obama told law enforcement officials Tuesday, just one day after the public learned he had released 36,007 illegal-immigrant murderers, rapists, thieves and other criminals into the nation’s communities.
Cops should be going after major criminals, not the many illegal immigrants that are quietly living in their districts, said Obama, who has twice sworn to uphold the nation’s laws.
“You’ve got to spend time dealing with somebody who is not causing any other trouble other than the fact that they were trying to make a living for their families,” Obama said.
“That’s just not a good use of our resources. It’s not smart. It doesn’t make sense,” said Obama, who has already directed immigration police to minimize enforcement of illegal living far from the border.
The statement will likely spur concerns among Republicans and the public that Obama can’t be trusted to implement the enforcement features of any immigration compromise.
A March 2013 Gallup poll showed that 138 million foreigners would like to settle in the United States. The total included an estimated 18 million people in China, 13 million people in Nigeria and three million people in Kenya.
Polls consistently show the public favors a stronger crackdown on employment of illegal immigrants.
On May 12, the Center for Immigration Studies released government documents showing that Obama’s deputies released foreign 36,007 foreign criminals who had committed crimes in the country, instead of deporting them.
The 88,000 convictions included 193 murders, 426 sexual assaults, 303 kidnappings, 1,075 aggravated assaults, 1,160 vehicle thefts, and 16,000 convictions for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

But the immigration "law of the land" is different, because we only believe in the "law of the land" when it suits or agenda.

This bit of revisionism from Mr. 57 States.
He is the antithesis of what an American president should be.
What the heck would he know about ‘smart’?................
Obama wasn’t smart either, but we ended up last time with Obama vs. Obama.
The GOP needs to get itself together and advocate for America.
America. Stop sending jobs overseas. Bring back America businesses, and find a candidate who actually INSPIRES AMERICANS.
We need a real candidate.
A pox on both their houses.. Legal and illegal Obama and Bonehead.
spoken by an illegal immigrant
bttt
Abso-freeking-lutely! Where does this pecker-head get off saying we should enforce one law but disregard another? That is anarchy and he should take great care in advocating such.
If this isn’t an impeachable offense, then nothing is. Most drug dealers, tax evaders, insider traders, and identity thieves are just quietly living their lives too .
Lets just stop enforcement of all federal laws.
Obama can’t pick and choose which laws he is going to enforce. He has sworn a solemn oath to faithfully execute all of them.
America no longer exists. We are now living in a dictatorship.
Envy?
It sounds as though the Kenyan is “evolving” again. Let’s only enforce the “laws” I want to enforce.
“You’ve got to spend time dealing with somebody who is not causing any other trouble...”
By this logic, I should be able to beat that speeding ticket. That cop should have sought to get at the root cause of my speeding, and then counseled me to find alternative outlets for those feelings, other than speeding at 10MPH over the posted limit on a virtually deserted interstate highway.
Sheesh! What happened to enforce the laws equally? This _resident is an anti-American, commie a$$clown.
I pray we can survive his dangerous idiocy.
And if I do manage to get in and am discovered I'm sure I won't be shown out.In fact,I'm sure that I'll be allowed to stay and then,after a few years,claim co-ownership of the White House.
Impeachable offense - right there alone!
The outrages just never stop coming from the despicable piece of trash called Obama...
“Cops should be going after major criminals, not the many illegal immigrants that are quietly living in their districts, said Obama, who has twice sworn to uphold the nation’s laws.
“You’ve got to spend time dealing with somebody who is not causing any other trouble other than the fact that they were trying to make a living for their families,” Obama said.
“That’s just not a good use of our resources. It’s not smart. It doesn’t make sense,” said Obama, who has already directed immigration police to minimize enforcement of illegal living far from the border.”
Every 9-11 hijacker would have qualified to be left alone by Obama’s enforcement approach.
How quickly we forget that which we say “Never Forget.”
