NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) -- Federal immigration officials say they will not deport immigrants pursuing legitimate civil rights claims, a move hailed by advocates as a way to protect a vulnerable population while critics say it encourages abuses.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Friday that "absent special circumstances," it is against the agency's policy to deport immigrants in the midst of a legitimate effort to protect their civil rights.

Ah, and if I put on my “liberal lawyer” hat (a move which reduces my IQ to Obama levels), I see that the solution to all ILLEGAL immigrant problems is to file a civil rights violation claim as soon as I am “discovered”.

What a racket.

You know, I think the country would be much better off if we deported all liberals and naturalized all the illegals. At least the illegals are willing to work...and appear to have higher morals than the vast majority of our progressive parasites.

The maggots in the Obama regime ARE NOT DOING THEIR JOBS! It’s time to turn over the job of stopping the invasion to the states. They’ll do the job the feds don’t want to do.

It is becoming more and more evident we cannot count on the Feds to uphold the law. So, the various States must step up to the plate and take necessary actions to shut down the incentives that draw them into their States. That means no jobs, no benefits, no schools, no housing, etc. They will deport themselves at no cost to the tax payer.

That is what I was thinking...

Liberal lawyer to "Pedro": "Pedro, INS is going to order you deportation tomorrow...Unless by any chance anybody has ever violated your civil rights??! No? Are you sure, maybe you didn't even realize it?? No? Hell, Pedro, your thick, I'm telling you if you make up a civil right complaint against anybody, you won't get deported.

We are no longer a nation of laws; we are a nation of liberal tyrants who pick and choose which laws to enforce based on their political agenda.

If we are no longer a nation of defensible borders, without legal, political or sovereign integrity, then we are no longer a nation.

We are just a country in name only.

This is a sad thing to witness in my lifetime, the purposeful destruction of the United States by our own people.

Liberals have done far more damage to this country than any foreign threat or enemy.

Sixty (or more) years of non-stop communist propaganda and brainwashing that have weakened every national defense mechanism required by a healthy nation and screwed up countless millions of minds have brought us to this final battleground for our national survival. Time to decide if we free men, or slaves of the global communist superstate. Obama is importing his shock troops. He’s gutting the treasury, laying legislative tripwires everywhere, and partying everyday like a millionaire on perpetual vacation. Something’s got to give.

I used to work for Japanese companies. I knew Japanese women who had difficulty getting thier visas extended. They had to leave or face deportation. What is the crime rate among Japanese women??
