How the Obama Administration Is Preempting Federal Immigration Law
power line ^ | 8/12/10 | staff

Posted on 08/12/2010 8:52:23 AM PDT by Nachum

Two days ago, the Washington Times reported that the union that represents rank-and-file field agents at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement unanimously passed a "vote of no confidence" for the agency's leadership. The National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council of the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 7,000 ICE agents and employees, stated that ICE has "abandoned" its core mission of protecting the public to support a political agenda favoring amnesty. The vote, by the Union's Council, was 259-0.

Has this story made it into the mainstream media? Not to my knowledge. My friend Craig Harrison asked me to imagine what would have happened if the EPA union voted unanimously to support a statement that Bush was not enforcing environmental laws. I think we can imagine the reaction if a handful of EPA employees issued such a statement.

Funny as hell but sadly true in most states.

Arizona taxpayers owed $1 billion from illegal immigration
http://www.kvoa.com/news/arizona-taxpayers-owed-1-billion-from-illegal-immigration/
“The cost of illegal immigration has exhausted the Arizona State Treasury. In order to pay for the federal government’s responsibility of securing our national borders and incarcerating individuals who enter the United States illegally and commit crimes, the state has incurred hundreds of millions of dollars of debt to pay these bills,” said Treasurer Dean Martin.

The Arizona budget deficit is $1.5 billion. Arizona spends $1.3 billion a year providing benefits to illegals, educating them, and incarcerating them. And that’s not counting the anchor babies.

Help Texas watch her borders.
Watch live on 14 cameras and report illegal alien invaders.
Night cams in operation

http://www.blueservo.net/index.php?error=nlg

Does it work? Yes.
Best time to catch them is at night.
Recently caught on cam and reported:
String of illegals running through brush with backpacks
Numerous sightings of boats crossing the river
Numerous vehicles late at night in isolated areas
IMMENSELY satisfying

I don't know if this 2006 article has been posted on Free Republic or not. In light of all that's going on with illegal immigration now, it could stand to be resurrected for the newcomers. It's a good example of why we need to; vote out long term politicians, have a moratorium on immigration and end birth right citizenship.

Immigration and UsurpationWhen I aided the foreign relations of presidential candidate and president-elect Vicente Fox back in 1999 and 2000, I met with almost 80 U.S. congressmen and senators during numerous trips and at several events. With just over 50 of them, my colleagues and I spoke about immigration in some depth, as it is one of the important bilateral topics. My findings were reported in a Backgrounder published by the Center for Immigration Studies called "Politics by Other Means."1 It is a dense and academic paper, but the basic finding was: Indeed, American politicians are overwhelmingly pro-immigration, for a variety of reasons, and they do not always admit this to their constituents. Of those 50 legislators, 45 were unambiguously pro-immigration, even asking us at times to "send more." This was true of both Democrats and Republicans.

Our political rulers want to turn us into another Mexico. Please pass this around.

Ice has made some large raids, I’m sure I’ve read that somewhere.

Maybe the raids we’re run against non union businesses?

Obama went after Toyota, a non union house.

Obama went after Apple, a non union house.

He went hard after BP, a non union outfit.

“The offshore exploration, production and service industry in the Gulf of Mexico, to the best of our knowledge, is 100 percent nonunion and increasingly foreign. Past attempts to organize these workers have been met with bitter opposition–not from employees but from employers”.

Obama goes hard after all his personal nemesis’s, for both personal and political pleasure.

Apparently he dislikes astronauts, law enforcement, mid westerners, Fox News, Alaska, McChrystal, Israel, non bigoted white people, Middle Eastern Women and others who want to be free, heteros, Glenn Beck, America, John McCain, John Roberts, George Bush, Rush Limbaugh, Clarence Thomas, Tea Party, Birthers, white bread and cats.

I am confidant that we’re he to meet me, the list would quickly grow.
