Working for ICE 'is hell right now,' as Obama plans amnesty for illegals
The Washington Examiner's Washington Secrets ^ | November 14, 2014 | Paul Bedard

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

Morale among officers at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, already low, has reached a new bottom as illegal immigrants expecting amnesty from President Obama taunt and ridicule the overworked officers, according to a new report.

“Yes,” said one, “working for this agency is hell right now.”

That was the latest message to immigration policy critic Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies. She has charted the woes of the officers who carry out the president’s orders.

In a new paper, she wrote:

"The president's gradual, calculated dismantling of our immigration system has caused morale to plummet in the agencies of the Department of Homeland Security. Career immigration officials have courageously objected in public, and sometimes resorted to lawsuits to draw attention to the administration's subversion of the law. In denial about their principled objections to his scheme, now the president is hoping to stifle their voices by offering them a pay increase as part of this outrageous plan. His assumption that they are motivated by money shows just how little respect he has for the men and women who have devoted their careers to public service in immigration."(continued)

I was by myself in a little restaurant, and at the next table were four large black men who were all wearing black and openly armed. One had a T-shirt that said “ICE” so I assumed they were coworkers.

I walked right up to them, and said “Thank You. I know you have a VERY difficult job, but Americans appreciate what you do”.

They looked at me in amazement, then they smiled and said “Thank You.”

Hitler was supernaturally lucky in that regard. Satan looks after his own. And Obola is one of satan’s own.

Yep. And like Hitler, Hussein will have a similar demise.

Meaning, not the one he has been planning all these years of a marxist/muslim heaven on Earth.

Just think: when you break the law you’re punished.

When these people break the law, the law is racist and shouldn’t be applied.

Now go pay your taxes, your government needs to gives these victims the money. :)

Yeah, these are the kinds of people we want in our country. These are the people we want to coddle and favor, giving them amnesty, work permits, driver's licenses, etc. People with SO much respect for our laws and our Border Patrol. People who are just so decent, so thankful for what we're doing for them! Oh, I can't wait to have them living next to me. I'm sure they'll be great neighbors, filled with class and gratitude.

Actually, the ones in my neighborhood (but I have no PROOF that they’re illegal [eye roll]) are very neighborly and nice. They go to work, take care of their kids and don’t bother people. Maybe it’s a North Texas thing?

Not to snark: But they are still illegal. They broke the law. Besides, they more than likely carried on their back a 35 or 50lbs backpack full of drugs into this country as a method to pay their violent, heartless, cruel drug cartel coyote. . .and possibly even attacked and escaped from a Border Patrol Agent(s) that tried to take them down.

(My son was a Border Patrol Agent and was attacked by a group of illegal aliens as they fought to escape being captured. . .and my son suffered injuries. . .but hey, I am sure your neighbors are a different type of illegal aliens. So, every illegal alien I see is viewed as a violent drug smuggler and possibly the one that attacked and hurt my son. . .but maybe it's a North Texas thing—Flower Mound, TX)

Dumbo could be setting up the Night of the Long Knives in reverse? Making a career out of Peeowing everybody just won’t work out for long. Somebody will take his mis-management personally.

If we think he has treated us bad, we should take a long gander at how he has treated God.

When he stepped into the presidency, he purposely took his oath in defiance of God.

Why is this important?

The Oath of Office is a solemn oath which invokes God as a witness. God cannot be witness to a lie. To force God to witness a lie means that Obama invoked a curse.

So, it would be safe to say that God is gonna want to have a crack at him first.

Quote from a person who posted an earlier message 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.
