Official: 70% of families from the immigration surge never showed up for follow-up appointments
Foxnews ^ | 9/26/14 | Unknown

Tens of thousands of young families caught crossing the border illegally earlier this year subsequently failed to meet with federal immigration agents, as they were instructed, the Homeland Security Department has acknowledged privately.

An official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement revealed that about 70 percent of immigrant families the Obama administration had released into the U.S. never showed up weeks later for follow up appointments.

The ICE official made the disclosure in a confidential meeting at its Washington headquarters with immigration advocates participating in a federal working group on detention and enforcement policies. The Associated Press obtained an audio recording of Wednesday's meeting and separately interviewed participants.

Unpossible!
The Brak regime assured us this wouldn’t happen!

The details haven’t been worked out yet. But, there will be a path. There will be a welfare equivalent to “Dreamers”, they will have IDs, but as you pointed out, who needs them to vote?

Surprised if as many as 30% did show. Probably will be revised later as some many Obama stats are.

It’s going to turn out that government appointed lawyers told them not to show up. As officers of the court those lawyers should be disbarred.

Where is the outrage from Republicans, ESPECIALLY those running for office?

They'll blame us for not contributing to the RNC, yet be complicit in this issue that a large majority of US citizens are upset about. Even the conservatives aren't highlighting this.

Beyond disgusted....if they wanted to win, this would be a major campaign issue.

Does that mean we can hunt them down and skip the remaining legal nonsense before sending them strait back to where they came from?

I can’t believe its that high, Almost all of them came here knowing they were going to be hiding from the law, just as they knew that justice would always result in them being sent back home to wait in line behind the millions of people they cut in front of.

They have little to no reason to show up for a hearing, they perhaps didn’t even expect to get caught, its not like they put up some massive amount on bail.

Issue bench warrants for every sponsor who signed these illegals out of the centers.

Sponsors are legally responsible for the whereabouts and conduct of their sponsorees. Pull them on the carpet to explain where their charges are and why they did not ensure their charges made a required appearance.

Most of their sponsors are probably illegal aliens, too with whereabouts unknown. Hell, the majority of them probably gave fake names and addresses.

If the sponsors are found to have given false information then Bench warrant the entire chain of command - sponsors, then HHS social workers, then supervisors of those social workers, then HHS managers and on up the admin line to the very top. Exploitation of AA has created government agencies topheavy in unionized minorities who may be lackadaisical about law and sympathetic to their own personal biases knowing nothing will be done about blatant preferential treatment - it’s time to shakedown the HHS for the corrupt agency it is.

Hell, most of the agencies created by Congress have little or no accountability.

Pro-amnesty American citizens must think that the rest of us 300,000,000 Americans are blind and stupid.

Pro-amnesty people demand that President Obama give work visas to at least 8,000,000+ illegals.

But pro-amnesty traitors conveniently forget to mention that many of these 8,000,000 illegals who will get work visas have husbands/wives and children.

24,000,000 illegals get amnesty: Pro-amnesty people are not really talking about 8,000,000 illegals, because they secretly know in their hearts that they are really talking about more like 24,000,000 illegals----3 times 8,000,000 illegals--- who will eventually get AMNESTY when President Obama takes his pen and quickly signs his executive order in a few weeks.

how did I arrive at the number of 24,000,000 illegals? I did it this way: I multiplied 8,000,000 illegals by 3.

1. Obviously, illegal immigrant men need their wives and children to keep them company. and many of them are already here.

2. And illegal immigrant women need their husbands to help them with the children.

3. Also, these illegal immigrants with their new work visas will now have no fear that immigration agents will be coming to their home to check to see how many in the household besides the visa holder are here legally.

4. So once they get their work visas, they can invite any number of relatives to live with them without fear that immigration officials will be coming to their unexpectedly to check the status of the people in the home. As long as visa holders pay their rent on time and their children attend school, we can be sure that no immigration officials will bother them and their families.

My point is this: Work visa holders and their growing families will be here forever. Basically, deportation of these illegals and their families will never happen, if President Obama has his way and goes ahead and signs his executive order soon after the midterm election.

5. You see, you can't very well legalize 8,000,000 illegals by giving them work visas, on the one hand, and then, on the other hand, turn around and deport husbands and wives and children of the work visa holders, persons who may not qualify for work visas for one reason or the other.

6. So I believe that multiplying 8,000,000 illegals by 3 is a good conservative estimate of how many illegals will immediately benefit from President Obama's executive order---an estimate based on a household with two parents, one child.

7.Of course, many households will be single households with no children.

8.But, as we know, many, many households of illegals who will be given work visas will have two or more children, so all those many children will easily make up for those households in my 24,000,000 estimate that have no children.

9. So that is the way I concluded that 24,000,000+ illegals will really get amnesty when traitor President Obama gives away our country with the simple signing of his executive order: 8,000,000 million illegal work visa holders times a conservative estimate of 3 member's in each illegal immigrant household.

10. Again, when President Obama quickly signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections, he will NOT be giving amnesty to just 8,000,000 illegals as the pro-amnesty people want us to believe.

11. Rather, when the smoke clears, anti-amnesty people will wake up one morning and suddenly realize that the pro-amnesty people and President Obama have pulled off one of the biggest scams in history, because President Obama will really give amnesty to 24,000,000 illegals, not 8,000,000 illegals as President Obama will claim when he signs his executive order soon after the mid-term elections.

NOTE: 'Because it was the right thing to do." This is Obama's favorite phrase when he wants to justify his decision on a controversial subject like illegal immigration.

It is as if Obama wants us to believe that his decision is divinely inspired, that is, God himself told him what to do. What a bunch of crap.

So be prepared to hear Obama's phrase---"Because it was the right thing to do"---over and over after Obama signs the worst executive order ever.

It is the worst ever because President Obama will lie to us and give amnesty to not 8,000,000 illegals as Obama will lead us to believe when he signs the executive order, but to an unbelievable number of 24,000,000 illegals. Sick. Sick. Sick.

NOTE: If the government can't handle those hundreds of illegals who crossed the Mexican border recently, how in the world is the government going to process the 8,000.000 illegals that President Obama will give amnesty to in a few weeks after the mid-term elections? No way. No way.

Quote from an earlier post here: The schools have no choice when it comes to providing K-12 education. SCOTUS made that mandatory with Plyler vs Doe in 1982. Here in Fairfax County, Virginia we pay $104 million a year for ESOL instruction for 31,000 students.

*******

My post: That 1982 Supreme Court ruling is the reason we need Constitutional amendments like the following to try to control illegal immigration:

1. "School attendance: Only citizens, legal residents, those with special student visas can attend elementary, high school, and colleges in the United States."

2. "One parent must be a citizen before a newborn child is given automatic citizenship."

3. Felony: We must finally get very serious and declare that crossing the border illegally is a felony. It sounds mean to call it a felony, but we must do it, if we will ever have any chance of controlling our borders. Having the same illegals crossing our borders over and over is wrong,wrong, and wrong.

Illegal immigrant parents come to the United States for the wonderful benefits that their children can receive, like a quality education and great health care. Can you blame them for making the dangerous, long trip with their young children, or sending their children by themselves with the hope that the United States will automatically let them stay?

I don't understand how a child can illegally cross the southern border one day and automatically be eligible to enroll in public school the next day. That is wrong.
