Working for ICE 'is hell right now,' as Obama plans amnesty for illegals

Morale among officers at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, already low, has reached a new bottom as illegal immigrants expecting amnesty from President Obama taunt and ridicule the overworked officers, according to a new report.

“Yes,” said one, “working for this agency is hell right now.”

That was the latest message to immigration policy critic Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies. She has charted the woes of the officers who carry out the president’s orders.

In a new paper, she wrote:

"The president's gradual, calculated dismantling of our immigration system has caused morale to plummet in the agencies of the Department of Homeland Security. Career immigration officials have courageously objected in public, and sometimes resorted to lawsuits to draw attention to the administration's subversion of the law. In denial about their principled objections to his scheme, now the president is hoping to stifle their voices by offering them a pay increase as part of this outrageous plan. His assumption that they are motivated by money shows just how little respect he has for the men and women who have devoted their careers to public service in immigration."(continued)

How about they do their JOB, instead of answering to a treasonous SOB? How about that?

The office of the POTUS does deserve respect. However, this man has zero respect for anyone in the WORLD, much less the average American. That respect from being in office only goes so far, the rest comes from leadership. Just because you’re POTUS doesn’t mean you’re above the law.

The most important thing about making an example of this TOTUS and everyone surrounding him is to make sure someone 20 years from now doesn’t go full bore sociopath with the entire US government backing him or her.

I’ll let you in on a little secret. It isn’t stupidity, or incompetence. They know exactly what they are doing, and there is a reason they want this to happen. He is a communist wannabe dictator in the best case scenario, at worst he is an islamic fanatic sent here by puppet masters unknown to bring down the one Westernized country still able to rally the civilized world into a war of survival.

Without America, the modern world will descend (quickly) into hell on Earth. WWIII will start shortly after America is no longer influential on the world stage. I’d bet I’m right.

The president is hoping to stifle their voices by offering them a pay increase as part of this outrageous plan.

First the president has no authority to set the pay of government employees. They are under the GS system and the pay is set in statute by congress.

What is not mentioned in the article is that last year the administration changed the overtime rules for Border Patrol 2nd line supervisors and managers. The change effectively cut their pay by 25%.

It also effectively removed the most senior agents from the agency as anyone illegible to retire popped smoke and left.

Now anyone who promotes into management takes a 25% pay cut. Just Obama's way of saying FU to the agency.

I remember a saying, and it goes like this: “A man's mind is stretched by a new idea or sensation, and never shrinks back to its former dimensions.” Oliver Wendell Holmes

Once people have learned about how deceptive someone like Obama can be, the people will have learned and will never forget.

Another fine quote: "You shall know the truth, and it will set you free." Jesus Christ
