One of the issues we raised in the Jan. NER article, What Rep. Peter King Could Do About Radicalization of American Muslims was the broken humanitarian refugee program run by our State Department, Department of Homeland Security, Immigration Control and Enforcement agency and Department of Health and Human services, Office of Refugee Resettlement.

In recent months, labor organizations representing federal immigration agents have been among the most outspoken challengers of Obama’s enforcement campaign. In June, the American Federation of Government Employees’ National Council 118, which represents Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, issued a no-confidence vote for ICE Director John Morton, claiming he is promoting amnesty instead of enforcement because most ICE officers are unable to make immigration-related arrests on the streets, leading to “amnesty by policy.” The National Border Patrol Council adopted a similar no-confidence resolution targeting Border Patrol Chief David Aguilar.

These skunks have already been taken into custody, brought before a judge and ordered into a process designed to end in their deportation. If we had a sane policy toward securing our borders by now most if not all of them would be gone. Unfortunately our system is not geared toward kicking these criminals out. It is actually a fraudulent scheme to build Democrat Party registration ranks, because incredibly after their initial court appearances our system releases illegal aliens on the strength of their...
