The brutal Obama policy that's really driving the Border Crisis
American Thinker ^ | 7/21/2014 | Tara Servatius

Posted on 07/21/2014 4:11:29 AM PDT by markomalley

A pernicious, little-known Obama administration policy – one that that incentivizes adult illegal immigrants to use children as human shields to escape arrest and deportation at the border – largely has escaped the media’s notice.

This same policy is driving the historic surge of children at the border, as everyone from coyotes to illegal immigrant adults already in America seeks to use children to guarantee their safe passage into the country, or to protect them from deportation if they are illegally living here.

The flood of illegal immigrant children, piling up like human debris on the US border, won’t stop until conservatives learn about the obscure Obama administration policy that’s deliberately driving it and reverse it.

Issued in August of 2013, the policy is called the “Family Interest Directive,” and it essentially forbids Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from deporting, arresting or even detaining any illegal immigrant who is the caretaker of a child. That includes parents, legal guardians and even unrelated adults who merely claim they care for the child in question. The theory behind the directive is that it would be morally wrong to separate children from their “caretakers.”

In practice, what that means on the border – and in the interior -- is that if you have a child with you, any child, you won’t be sent home. So suddenly, illegal immigrant children are a hot commodity. Unrelated adults and coyotes use them for border crossings, then abandon them at the border. Parents who in the past would have left their children behind, crossed the border and then sent money home are now bringing them along for protection from deportation…

The EXEMPT US Congress knows, but they DO NOT CARE.

They have never cared, except about their EXEMPT selves, their EXEMPT families, and their EXEMPT staff, and THEIR EXEMPT families.

but protects the corrupt from you -
you know your nation is doomed."

I wish people would stop writing this line (I see it a lot)

None of this is "escaping" anyone's notice.

They are all (MSM) actively blacking out (like that turn of phrase?) and covering up anything that casts doubt on the Obama agenda.

Altogether, “O’s” polices are aimed to short out US sovereignty and nationhood.

Whether diplomatically or socially... it is the goal of this administration. The US will be made irrelevant, weak, defenseless and subject to the will of our enemies!

I wish America’s journalists, whose charter it is to watchdog the public welfare, would remark on this.

What ELSE are such policies calculated to do?

Until Conservatives look at this agenda and call it what it is… there is no hope to de program or derail this ongoing train wreck which is transforming America into one of many in the undifferentiated gaggle of weak, dependent and vulnerable former nations all over the globe.

We will be just one more of those nations formerly sovereign and autonomous and yet remaining a nation only because no one has changed our place on the map.

This impossible global sameness that “O” and his creatures strive for presupposes an inherent goodness and honesty in humanity that is NOT borne out by history or experience.

It’s criminally childish to push for this globalization, just as if nuclear weapons don’t exist and that they are NOT available to our enemies!

The most wicked man ever to occupy Washington DC.

And that is saying something.

Obama is complicit in human trafficking. He needs to be in jail where he can be the victim of those who abhor child molestation.

How Satanic is it that, in order to advance your destroy America agenda,

you put thousands of underage girls in a situation where they are 90% likely to be repeatedly raped?

Just load ‘em up with contraceptives and it’ll be fine, eh?

The EXEMPT US Congress knows, but they DO NOT CARE.

A proposed 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that says "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States."

Propose it promote it, and insist on an explanation from any who oppose it.

Thanks for doing this thread. I picked this up over at AT early this am. It needed to be done over hear and I had to work.
My take is that the regime will use this one 2012 and the 2008 which they use to blame Bush with to confuse everything immigration wise. It will all become a cluster with many on either side. In the end all three pos papers will be negotiated in the supreme court and by then millions of illegals, criminals, drug dealers, ms13, you name it will already be here.
These guys are always one step ahead of us.
