Always on the prowl for opportunities to grant illegal immigrants reprieve, the Obama administration is capitalizing on the recent floods to reward undocumented aliens in the affected regions with a special “severe weather immigration relief.†The measure was recently announced by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agency—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)—that oversees lawful immigration to the United States. It appears that in the last few years USCIS has been preoccupied with shielding illegal aliens who may not be candidates for the president’s broader executive amnesty initiatives from deportation. Judicial Watch has reported on this extensively over the years,...

...Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said Sunday he will win the presidency by “painting in bold colors, not pale pastels,†and that his passion for repealing Obamacare, establishing a flat tax and enforcing immigration law will be a contrast to the “mushy middle†that doomed GOP nominees in 1996, 2000 and 2012.“What they did didn’t work,†Mr. Cruz told CNN’s State of the Union.Mr. Cruz, Texas Republican, is leading in Iowa ahead of the Feb. 1 caucuses, even edging businessman Donald Trump by several points in recent polls despite the mogul’s big leads elsewhere and nationally.The Texan said his appeal is based on his loyalty...

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz says he doesn't support sending forces to round up and deport illegal immigrants, likening such a policy to "a police state." "I don't intend to send jackboots to knock on your door and every door in America, that's not how we enforce the law for any crime," Mr. Cruz told CNN in an interview broadcast Sunday.

Ted Cruz had a message for conservatives rabid for the repeal of Obamacare: Don't expect "Day One" results."The president doesn't have the constitutional authority to end it on Day One," he said in an interview aired Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union. "The only way to end it is to repeal that statute ... we will repeal Obamacare, but unlike Obama, I don't intend as president to be - to use his word - an emperor."It's a rare appeal to pragmatism from a candidate who typically stokes the conservative id. It came initially as a response to questions about...

Sen. Ted Cruz insists he'll deport 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. if elected president, but won't create a special force to do it. Cruz's opponent Donald Trump has said he would create a deportation force that will go from "door-to-door" and remove all of the illegal immigrants from the country. Pressed by CNN's Jake Tapper over whether he would do the same, Cruz said there are already agencies to do that. "We have a door-to-door force, it's called ICE and border patrol," the Texas Republican said. -snip- Pressed by Tapper to explain how he would remove an estimated...

Texas Sen. Ted Cruz does not plan to authorize a special force to deport the undocumented immigrants currently in the country, he told CNN's Jake Tapper, setting up a policy contrast with Donald Trump. Cruz, who over the past few weeks has specifically endorsed deportations after months of resisting, said in an interview that aired Sunday on "State of the Union" that the U.S. should catch those who came here illegally under normal law enforcement practices, not through round-ups of the estimated 11 million undocumented people living in the U.S. "No, I don't intend to send jackboots to knock on...

Creating a contrast with Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz ruled out the use of a new federal "deportation force" to seek and deport illegal immigrants. -snip- JAKE TAPPER: I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but it is a simple question, yes or no. Will you have people going door to door rounding people up? TED CRUZ: We don't have any system that knocks door to door every person in America, that is not how the American law enforcement system works... We don't live in a police state. We do have law enforcement, how do we catch people? We catch them...

Leaders of the church-based Sanctuary Movement vowed on Friday to offer their places of worship as refuge for immigrants facing deportation under an Obama administration crackdown on Central American families who entered the United States illegally. The statement came two days after The Washington Post first reported the U.S. government was planning a series of raids to remove hundreds of undocumented families as early as January in the first such large-scale effort targeting the recent flood of border crossers. The Department of Homeland Security preparations to intensify deportations of Central American migrants, confirmed by U.S. government sources, drew immediate fire...

The number of children who are caught trying to slip across the U.S.-Mexico border alone and illegally has quietly surged again more than a year after President Obama referred to the problem as an "urgent humanitarian situation." While the world has been focused on Europe's migrant crisis, apprehensions of unaccompanied minors along America's own border have exploded: More than 10,000 undocumented children have been stopped in just the last two months, according to U.S. Border and Customs Protection. The 10,588 apprehensions are a 106 percent increase over the same Oct. 1 through Nov. 30 period from last year, when 5,129...

Dear President Obama, Secretary Johnson, I am writing to ask your help in averting the deportation of Ibrahim Parlak. For the past 25 years Mr. Parlak, a Kurd from Turkey, has lived an exemplary life in America. Having been granted political asylum in 1991, he advanced from busboy to restaurant owner and became known and beloved by his community. Mr. Parlak has employed dozens of Americans, paid taxes for 25 years, and is a loving father to an American citizen daughter. When in 2004 DHS moved to deport him, Ibrahim’s family, friends, and community stood by him, and continue more...

Every year the 89,000 employees of the Internal Revenue Service attempt to enforce the tax laws for well over 200 million taxpayers. Obviously this is impossible and taxpayers could ignore the law with near impunity. Yet, they don't. Somehow the IRS persuades the vast majority of the taxpayers to pay up. If the IRS said that it would be inhumane to prosecute tax scofflaws because they have children that need to eat and that most tax scofflaws are good people who have run into hard times, what would happen? What would happen is that the population of tax scofflaws would...

Self-deportation was the mantra of the Mitt Romney campaign. At the time, it was seen as a kinder and gentler alternative to forcibly deporting illegal aliens, because even Republicans became afraid of being supportive of enforcing our immigration laws, for fear of being viewed as cruel or heartless by the liberal media. The politics has moved in four years on the Republican side to the point where we have three kinds of candidates: Trump, who calls for mass deportations, Ã la Operation Wetback; nearly everyone else, who calls for no deportations and varying states of legalization; and Ted Cruz, who...

Donald Trump has no more idea how he's going to deport twelve million people than John Kennedy knew how he was going to put a manned spacecraft on the moon. But then, Kennedy was a visionary and Trump is an imbecile, right? Also, Kennedy had his eye on elevating humanity, while Trump is trying to put the kibosh on cheap landscapers. But still... what's he up to? Here's what: He's controlling the architecture of the argument. That's the way high-level business guys get what they want. He's good at it; he does it reflexively, and it's a technique he...

At Obama’s direction, Mr. Johnson announced changes that would let most rank-and-file illegal immigrants off the hook and instead focus deportation efforts on serious criminals, gang members and other security threats, and only the most recent of illegal border crossers. Obama’s marquee deportation amnesty is stalled by the courts, but the rest of his executive actions on immigration, announced exactly a year ago, are moving forward — including his move protecting more than 80 percent of illegal immigrants from any danger of deportation. This amnesty, dubbed Deferred Action for Parental Accountability was supposed to grant full tentative legal status —...

This is really interesting. If you look at the deportation stats when Bill Clinton was in office, it really is true that he deported well over 10 million people. If you do not believe the stats then you can go to the link provided to the DHS where it is all broken down there. And it really does look like Obama will deport 3 million by the time he leaves. See "U.S. deportations of immigrants reach record high in 2013" at http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/10/02/u-s-deportations-of-immigrants-reach-record-high-in-2013/

WASHINGTON – Conservative presidential candidates speak casually of deporting 11 million people, but what they don’t say is what it would cost, what it would take and the long odds of success. Some researchers who have considered such a possibility envision the expansion of federal fugitive operations teams that would fan out through rural areas arresting immigrant workers picking strawberries. Poultry plants would be raided and teachers and doctors could be tasked with reporting those who seek services. The costs: as high as $300 billion....

The total number of people returned and deported during the Clinton administration is over 10 million people, nearly the same number of illegal aliens we have in this country according to our government. Nobody calls Clinton inhumane. In the year 2000 alone 1.86 million people were either returned by the border patrol or deported through legal proceeding, yet nobody cried foul. Let’s look at Obama administration, the most lenient administration as far as illegal immigration is concerned. Every year Obama deports about 350,000 people. By the end of his term Obama will deport nearly 3 million people, yet nobody calls...

Hillary Clinton has a word for Donald Trump's plan to deport 11 million people from the country: No. The Democratic presidential candidate blasted Trump's call for a "deportation force" on Wednesday, calling it "absurd." "The idea of tracking down and deporting 11 million people is absurd, inhumane, and un-American. No, Trump. -H" Clinton tweeted, quoting a New York Times reporter's tweet on Trump's comments made earlier in the morning on MSNBC.

During last night’s debate, John Kasich derided Donald Trump’s immigration stance, calling it “a silly argument†to promise that Trump would deport all illegal immigrants. “We all know you can’t pack them up and ship them back across the border,†Kasich said directly to Trump. Trump insisted he could do it, although he still gave no details on how he plans to do so. Earlier today, on Morning Joe, Trump elaborated a little more, adopting Mika Brzezinski’s nomenclature by promising a “deportation force†to carry out the mission:(VIDEO-AT-LINK)David Rutz at the Free Beacon captures the exchange: Trump, who has frequently...
