Obama 'Scheming' on Immigrant Amnesty? Memo Draws Republican Fire
ABC News ^ | 7/30/2010

Posted on 07/30/2010 10:39:20 AM PDT by toma29

Critics of President Obama's immigration policy have pounced on an internal government memo they say shows the administration is trying to circumvent Congress on immigration reform and avoid deporting some illegal immigrants.

An undated, internal draft memo by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services leaked Thursday outlines "administrative relief options to… reduce the threat of removal for certain individuals present in the United States without authorization."

"In the absence of comprehensive immigration reform," it reads, "USCIS can extend benefits and/or protections to many individuals and groups by issuing new guidance and regulations."

While the federal government has long exercised discretion in immigration cases on an ad hoc basis, Republicans say using those tools more broadly would amount to "amnesty."

"The President has promised border security and immigration enforcement. He has said we must hold individuals accountable for their illegal acts," said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the top House Republican on the Judiciary Committee. "But now we find out the truth: while saying one thing to the public, the Obama administration is scheming to ensure that immigration laws are not enforced."

We'd better believe it. With the truly evil Obammunist and his congressional and judicial lackeys, the most dangerous thing we could say is "oh, they'll never do that". They'll stop at nothing to get their "fundamental change".

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I won’t go to an ABC News cite, even if they actually told a story that relied on facts rather than a biased agenda (which is unlikely). I religiously go out of my way to avoid the MSM, and will continue to do so until they experience a thorough regime change.

He’s really casting his lot with the mexicans if he does this — all-in for the illegals’ vote in 2012. The dems up for re-election in 2010 should be the ones challenging him on it, as they’ll be the ones tasting the underside of the bus.

Of course, as always... it’s about 0bama and no one else.

U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services press secretary Christopher Bentley responded to the accusations saying, "nobody should mistake deliberation and exchange of ideas for final decisions."

There are nine folks in Michigan that said that. How did it work out for them Mr. Bentley?

Not really.

The deal was to “redistribute” to them and their families medical coverage stolen from Americans who worked all their lives for it, and then get them to vote for him and his fellow gangsters in Washington, so they can continue stealing America from its citizens, and “redistribute” wealth from those who earned to those who didn’t.

Legality of votes mean as much to this bastard as legality of citizenship - ACORN demonstrated that.

What a case that would make with certiorari in aid. Too bad the wistle blower is not ready to step forward, get fired and take it to the Supreme Court.

“GAO: Some Mexican Drug Traffickers ‘Specialize’ in Smuggling Aliens From Countries With Ties to Terrorism Into the U.S.

Thursday, July 29, 2010

By Edwin Mora

(CNSNews.com) - Some Mexican drug-trafficking organizations (DTOs) are involved in smuggling potential terrorists across the southwestern border, according to the Government Accountability Office.

“Aliens from countries of special interest to the United States such as Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan (known as special-interest aliens) also illegally enter the United States through the [southwest border] region,” Richard Stana, the GAO homeland security and justice issues director, said in a report on alien smuggling issued July 22.

“These [drug trafficking] organizations collect fees from alien smuggling organizations for the use of specific smuggling routes, and available reporting indicates that some Mexican drug trafficking organizations specialize in smuggling special-interest aliens into the United States,” he added.

Stana told CNSNews.com that the Justice Department’s National Drug Intelligence Center’s (NDIC) 2008 National Drug Threat Assessment and “other reports” corroborate his comments, although he did not elaborate on what other reports he was referring to.
