Feds Getting Ready for Executive Action on Immigration
NBC News ^ | October 22, 2014 | Suzanne Gamboa

(León Rodríguez) the new head of Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), recalled how he was put on the “wait list” and eventually denied admission to Georgetown Law School, where he spoke Tuesday.

He tried to persuade the school’s officials to let him in and was told he was lucky to be on a wait list. The story is a metaphor for immigration policy, he said.

“What we do in immigration policy is decide who we want to admit to the U.S. and who we don’t,” he said.

Now Rodríguez is heading Citizenship and Immigration Services, a part of the Department of Homeland Security.

“Looking back Georgetown, would you have admitted me? Would you have had different policies?” he said to chuckles from an audience attending an immigration law and policy conference.

Rodríguez’s agency will be front and center once President Barack Obama announces the executive action he’ll take on immigration. Obama said he would take executive action after the elections but before the end of the year.

León Rodríguez was confirmed by the Senate in June 2014 and sworn in on July 9, 2014, as the director of USCIS. He previously served as the director of the Office for Civil Rights at the Department of Health and Human Services, a position he held from 2011 to 2014. From 2010 to 2011, he served as chief of staff and deputy assistant attorney general for civil rights at the Department of Justice (DOJ).

Wonder what the Labor Union and other unions will have to say about Obama and his yes man Rodriquez, and their issuing 34 MILLION work permits and green cards?

Labor unions are totally onboard with this. They’ve given up trying to organize white American blue collar types. Time to import some new blood a little more amenable to Socialism.

A civil war is two or more factions warring over the control of the government.

Pray tell:

Who are the leaders of the faction that is going to war against our current government?

Where is this faction getting their funding from?

Where are their armed forces training?

Where are their military aircraft? Their tanks? Their chemical and nuclear weapons?

Get real.

If our sawed-off tyrant-in-chief does pass a law all by his lonesome, our worthless House and its limp speaker Boehner will do nothing, as usual.
And the GOP-e is counting on our support .......

The template from wherever adapted is provided to stop the solicitation of the manufacture of 34 million green card like IDs by attaining a preliminary federal injunction. Read through the thread and it will be clear.

He can do what he wants. My plan is to respond by starting a software development shop on the Cook Islands that charges less than India, and to spend the rest of my days hearing about America's problems on the radio while listening to the waves roll in and waiting on the day's catch of fresh fish.

How's that for bugging out? ... Zombies anyone?

Offices you can call to make your remarks or demand they start obeying and quoting our United States Constitution...something the Progressives/Dems refuse to do:

(Kevin, McCarthy) House Majority Leader
(Majority Whip) Steve Scalise
(House Republican Policy Committee Chairman James Lankford)

And of course, they’re going to clear the backlog of pending immigration applications from people who actually waited in line first, right? Administratively waive the whole process for spousal immigration, right?

Right?
