Obama administration scales back deportations in policy shift
Washington Post ^ | July 2, 2015 | Jerry Markon

Posted on 07/19/2015 7:47:10 AM PDT by GoneSalt

The Obama administration has begun a profound shift in its enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws, aiming to hasten the integration of long-term illegal immigrants into society rather than targeting them for deportation, according to documents and federal officials.

In recent months, the Department of Homeland Security has taken steps to ensure that the majority of the United States’ 11.3 million undocumented immigrants can stay in this country, with agents narrowing enforcement efforts to three groups of illegal migrants: convicted criminals, terrorism threats or those who recently crossed the border.

Scaling down from zero means he’s importing them which is exactly what he’s doing.

“The Obama administration has begun a profound shift in its enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws...”

While Congress sits on it’s hands watching the travesty unfold.

We are witnessing the deliberate deconstruction of our Republic.

Well, if the government is going to refuse to enforce the laws on fraudulently documented foreigners, the citizens should refuse to obey the laws.

Scaling back from 2 to 1 per year is a 50% cut. Way to go.

After the San Diego pier shooting, perpetrated by a five-time deported felon, THIS is his answer?

He truly hates America.

Cue the little missive by null-and-void. Yer on, Charlie.

This is more BS propaganda from the degenerates at the WP

The WH is RELEASING CRIMINAL ALIENS BACK INTO THE POPULATION!!!!

ICE didn’t release a breakdown of criminal offenses of the new 30,000 on Wednesday, but among the 36,000 released in 2013 were 193 homicide convictions, 426 sexual assault convictions, 303 kidnapping convictions and 16,070 convictions for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

They are releasing murderers, kidnappers, sex criminals, and drunk drivers into the American populace because their home countries won't take them back?

And they released even more last year?

How the hell is all hell not breaking loose?

This is insane, the apparatchiks and the politicians and judges responsible for this need to go to jail.

START IMMIGRATION REFORM BY CATCHING THESE MF’S AND SENDING THEM BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM.

Their countries don’t want them back, TOO DAMN BAD.

This is impeachable.

Republicans in Congress have proposed rewriting the law to allow for longer detention of serious criminals, and have called on the Obama administration to use existing powers to deny visas to leaders of countries that refuse to take their citizens back.

But the administration has declined to take those steps.

Those released from custody are generally supposed to be monitored, and Ms. Saldana vowed to stiffen those procedures to try to ensure those that are released are not able to commit new crimes.

The RIGHT WING needs to take matters in hand.

The marxists in DC have now elected to dispatch a LEGION OF ILLEGAL ALIEN MURDERERS, KIDNAPPERS, SEX CRIMINALS, AND DRUNK DRIVERS INTO THE AMERICAN POPULACE.

This cannot stand, these are not your standard illegal aliens, these are HARD CORE FELONS, and their release into the populace undermines the HUSSEIN Administrations narrative that they are going to grant amnesty to garden variety ILLEGAL ALIENS to concentrate on “criminals”

This is a goddamned CPUSA conspiracy, the CPUSA is in control of DHS.

Those responsible must be brought to justice.

The CPUSA controlled HUSSEIN BARAKA ADMINISTRATION wages war against REAL AMERICANS on a daily basis on an unlimited number of fronts.

They time release of damaging information to coincide with other world events in order to deflect attention.

THESE 150,000 MURDERERS, KIDNAPPERS, SEX CRIMINALS, AND DRUNK DRIVERS NEED TO BE HUNTED DOWN LIKE DOGS AND EXPELLED!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT IS THE GOP DOING ABOUT OBAMA RELEASING FROM FEDERAL CUSTODY ILLEGAL ALIEN FELONS INTO THE US POPULACE RATHER THAN DEPORTING THEM?

WHAT IS HE TRYING TO DO, GET MORE US CITIZENS RAPED, MURDERED AND KIDNAPPED?

The Non-Deported: ICE Still Releasing Criminal Aliens at a Rapid Pace

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has published an investigative report on violent criminals released by ICE. Aptly titled “Convicted, but free to roam: Giving little notice, federal authorities have released thousands of detained undeportable immigrants — sometimes with grave results”, the article tells the story of a rapist and a murderer turned loose by ICE. Such criminal alien releases are continuing at an alarming pace in 2015.

According to documents provided to the House Judiciary Committee for a hearing last month, ICE released 30,558 convicted criminal aliens in FY 2014. These individuals had been convicted of 79,059 crimes, including 175 homicides, 373 sexual assaults, 186 kidnappings, and 14,014 impaired driving offenses (see the listing of conviction categories here).

As of the end of March, ICE had released another 10,246 criminal aliens. This pace of criminal releases is down from 2013 and 2014 — but only because ICE is arresting far fewer people to start with, not because there are fewer to arrest. ICE arrests of criminal aliens are down 32 percent since this time last year, according to ICE records. Arrests of the most serious offenders are down by 22 percent over last year.

The newspaper’s report focuses almost entirely on cases in which the criminal aliens were released because their home countries would not accept them back. These are known as “Zadvydas” cases, after the Supreme Court decision on the issue.

But according to ICE records, only 2,457 (8 percent) of the 30,558 convicted criminal releases in 2014 were Zadvydas cases. The majority of convicted criminal releases occurred because of Obama administration policies that require ICE officers to let the offenders go. In some cases, judges will allow aliens to be released after a bond hearing, but the conditions are usually set by ICE, and ICE attorneys say that they have been instructed not to vigorously contest an alien’s request for release.

This is not a problem.

It is a severe symptom of an even worse problem of an America-hating president trying to destroy this country.

As long as we focus on the symptoms, we are chasing our butts.

Focus on the real problem, Obama himself.

EVERYTHING obama does either:
a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
There are NO counter examples.

So how do they tell if the illegal alien is a terrorism threat? Any of them could be a terrorism threat.

The intent of Obama and the Democrats and their elite limousine handlers, is to use illegals and amnesty to break the back of the Social Security and Medicare Trusts that American citizens have funded, because they think they will get votes from their new unarmed imported serfs.
