Federal Employees Asked To Refuse Obama's Unconstitutional Directives on Immigration
For National Release
August 16, 2012

(866) 703-0864 / WilliamG@alipac.us
ALIPAC is launching an effort today to warn all federal employees that Obama's directives to institute a mass Amnesty for millions of illegal aliens willing to claim they are under 30 and were brought here as children contradicts existing federal law, the rulings of Congress, and the US Constitution.
ALIPAC is asking all federal employees to refuse Obama's unconstitutional directives to provide Dream Act Amnesty for illegal immigrants along with all subsequent unlawful and unconstitutional orders from the Executive Branch that would harm Americans as this action does.
A veteran Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Newark, Delaware, is currently being punished for refusing to release an illegal immigrant he deemed a risk to the American public. This and other unlawful orders mandated by Obama has many ICE and Border Patrol agents starting to balk as well.
"Each federal employee swears an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and now is the time for that oath to matter," said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. "We are asking all federal employees to begin openly defying these 'deferred action Amnesty' orders and to begin walking off the job to the nearest media offices if necessary. Obama has decreed an order via memo that if allowed to stand will set a precedent of dictatorial decrees that shift the entire framework of American governance into some new form of dictatorship and despotism."
The US Constitution and US Courts have clearly stated that immigration policy is to be set by the American public through their duly elected members of Congress. The Executive Branch is supposed to execute the laws of Congress. The Obama "deferred action Amnesty" did not originate with Congress! It is not a formal Executive Order, it contradicts numerous existing federal laws designed to protect American citizens from illegal immigration, and it clearly mimics legislation that was defeated by the public and Congress several times.
ALIPAC is calling on members of Congress to intercede to stop Obama's abuse of power and his attempt to appeal to illegal aliens to commit voter fraud! Congressional members must be ready to support Congressman Steve King's (R-IA) lawsuit and request for court injunction, and call on federal employees to begin to peacefully exercise their civil rights by refusing orders that defy the US Constitution.
Americans for Legal Immigration PAC played a key role in defeating the Dream Act Amnesty legislation in Congress on several occasions. ALIPAC is now considering a lawsuit to recuperate supporter donations spent to that end since Obama has exceeded his constitutional authority to nullify the outcome of elections, citizen lobbying, congressional votes on legislation, and this legislation implemented by fiat.
ALIPAC has recently commented on these issues in the New York Times, Atlanta Journal Constitution, and on National Public Radio. All this has been despite specific efforts by George Soros backed groups to silence this organization through false claims designed to intimidate reporters and broadcasters.

10 Things You Need to Know About Obama’s Amnesty
August 16, 2012 By Kristen Williamson
2 Comments
Yesterday,
the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began accepting applications for
deferred action through US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). FAIR
has been closely tracking developments in President Obama’s executive amnesty
since its announcement on June 15. Below are some of the things you need to
know about the President’s unilateral changes to U.S. immigration policy.
- President
Obama’s amnesty will add nearly 2 million workers – possibly more
– to the U.S. job market. This is a negligent economic and social policy
with over 8% unemployment and half of recent young college graduates
unemployed or underemployed.
- Lax
documentation requirements to prove eligibility. DHS application instructions
explicitly state that only copies of documents will be required to
meet the eligibility criteria for amnesty including length of presence in
the U.S., education, and even identity. Also, illegal aliens will be able
to submit any and all documents they deem relevant to prove their
eligibility. Virtually any form of documentation will be accepted, from
report cards and plane tickets to mere personal correspondence.
- The
Administration is making this up as they go along. In June,
President Obama touted this policy as the “right thing to do” for some of
the best and brightest. However, it is clear that the educational,
residency and character requirements are becoming increasingly lax as more
details about the implementation of the amnesty emerge.
- No face-to-face
interview required. Most applications will be approved based only on the
documentation submitted.
- Few safeguards
against and limited consequences for filing fraudulent applications or
documents.
If DHS is actually diligent enough to identify fraud, the new amnesty
instructions merely state that the Administration “may” elect to penalize
illegal aliens by denying immigration benefits or placing them into
removal proceedings. However, since illegal aliens are only required to
submit copies – which lack identifiers of authenticity – it is unknown how
USCIS employees will be able to identify fraud in the first place.
- USCIS turns
blind eye to past illegal employment. Illegal aliens may use employment
records to show eligibility for amnesty despite the fact illegal aliens
are barred from working in the U.S. Past employers of illegal alien
applicants are not likely to face prosecution for hiring illegal aliens.
- Family of
deferred action recipients will also reap the benefits. Application instructions
explicitly state that information collected on an illegal alien will
not be used against him or her, or their “family members and guardians,”
for the purpose of immigration enforcement.
- Illegal aliens
granted work authorization can obtain Social Security cards. Illegal aliens
granted deferred action must apply for employment authorization if they
present an “economic necessity.” Once received, DHS work authorization
will allow them to apply for a Social Security Number and possibly other
benefits like driver’s licenses.
- Illegal aliens
with a criminal history DO qualify. DHS says only felony
convictions will make illegal aliens ineligible for amnesty, and even
then, convictions won’t necessarily be considered if they are expunged.
Additionally, criminal convictions in foreign countries will go undetected
and DHS will “exercise discretion” when considering juvenile records.
- USCIS doesn’t
have a great track record. Earlier this year, the DHS Inspector General found
that USCIS leadership told employees to rubber-stamp applications for
immigration benefits – including work authorization. In leaked documents to
the Associated Press, USCIS estimated that it will review 3,000
deferred action and work authorization applications daily, only increasing
the pressure to overlook possible fraud and approve benefits quickly.

“What's needed to discourage illegal immigration into
the United States has been known for years: Enforce existing law.” …..
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR
ARTICLE BELOW:
The study, based on 2010 and 2011
census data, found that 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S. at
least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as high
as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent immigrants.

“The principal beneficiaries of our current immigration policy
are affluent Americans who hire immigrants at substandard wages for low-end
work. Harvard economist George Borjas estimates that American workers lose $190
billion annually in depressed wages caused by the constant flooding of the
labor market at the low-wage end.” Christian Science Monitor

“Law enforcement and public safety have taken a back seat to attempts to satisfy immigrant advocacy groups,” Crane told the panel of congressmen.
“Law enforcement and public safety have taken a back seat to attempts to satisfy immigrant advocacy groups,” Crane told the panel of congressmen.
“What we're seeing is our Congress

more rights and privileges than Americans. If you are an illegal alien, you can
drive a car without a driver's license or insurance. You may obtain medical
care without paying. You may work without paying taxes. Your children enjoy
free education at the expense of taxpaying Americans.”
FAIR Legislative Update July 30, 2012

At a Capitol Hill press conference last Thursday, leaders from the two unions representing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and Border Patrol agents denounced the Obama Administration's immigration policy. Flanked by Senators Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Chuck Grassley (R-IA), and David Vitter (R-LA), these two union leaders painted a stark picture of the state of immigration enforcement across the United States.
ICE union leader Chris Crane, who represents
over 7,000 agents, decried the Obama Administration's policy of
"prosecutorial discretion," which directs enforcement agents to
release illegal aliens who do not meet the Administration's enforcement
priorities. Calling it "a failing policy," Crane
described how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had launched it without
any planning or foresight. "Every manager in the field is interpreting
these new policies different," Crane said. "It's impossible to even
get a picture of what our priorities are now. I have never seen or heard
of the type of fly by the seat of your pants, disorganized confusion in a law
enforcement organization like what we are currently experiencing at ICE."
(CQ Transcript, July 26, 2012)
Mr. Crane also sharply criticized the President's new policy that grants "deferred action" to illegal aliens who meet the eligibility criteria for the DREAM Act. In particular, he warned of wide-spread abuse of the process. "Prosecutorial discretion for DREAMers," Crane said, "is solely based on the individual's claims. Our orders are: if an alien says they went to high school, then let them go; if they say they have a GED, then let them go. Officers have been told that there is no burden for the alien to prove anything. .... At this point, we do not understand why DHS has any criteria at all, as there is no requirement or burden to prove anything on the part of the alien. We believe a significant number of people who are not DREAMers are taking advantage of this practice to avoid arrest." (Id.)

We believe a significant number of people who are not DREAMers are taking advantage of this practice to avoid arrest." (Id.)
Meanwhile Border Patrol Council President George McCubbin
criticized the attempt by DHS to portray the drop in illegal alien arrest rates
as a sign of success. The drop in arrest rates, McCubbin said, had more
to do with the Administration's change in enforcement tactics than its success
at combating illegal immigration. He noted as examples, DHS's termination
of immigration checks at transportation hubs near the border and its recent
decision to close nine border patrol stations. "Apprehensions at
just one of our stations have fallen from over 600 annually to just under 30
even though now they have 10 times the number of agents assigned to that one
station." In short, McCubbin said, "Our agency has made it
impossible for the agents to go out there and do their jobs." (Id.)
Like Crane, McCubbin also had strong words regarding President Obama's policy of "prosecutorial discretion." "The action taken by President Obama undermines immigration enforcement. Fraud will run rampant and our agents will have to err on the side of caution to grant prosecutorial discretion so that they don't put themselves into a position where they may find themselves involved in a civil lawsuit. ... The agents we represent are not happy regarding this. We feel as if we are political victims." (Id.)
The press conference came just days after FAIR released its report President Obama's Record of Dismantling Immigration Enforcement, a step-by-step look at how the President has undermined immigration enforcement and the rule of law.

OBAMA FUNDS LA RAZA SUPREMACY WHICH OPERATES OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE UNDER LA RAZA VP CECILIA MUNOZ
CECILIA MUNOZ
IS ONE OF OBAMA’S MANY LA RAZA SUPREMACIST OPERATING OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE. NO
ADMINISTRATION IN HISTORY HAS BEEN SO INFESTED WITH A FOREIGN BASED POLITICAL
PARTY AS OBAMA’S.
THE FASTEST
GROWING POLITICAL PARTY IN AMERICAN IS THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA –
THE PARTY of ILLEGALS AND MEXICAN SUPREMACY. THEIR GOAL IS OBAMA AMNESTY OR
CONTINUED NON-ENFORCEMENT, NO E-VERIFY, OPEN BORDERS AND DE FACTO CITIZENSHIPS
WITH DRIVERS’ LICENSES!VIVA LA RAZA! YOU ARE! OBAMA HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED THE FUNDING TO EXPAND MEXICAN SUPREMACY IN OUR BORDERS!
On Thursday, Director of
Intergovernmental Affairs Cecilia Muñoz blogged that the Department of Homeland
Security will review its entire deportation caseload - that's 300,000 cases -
to "clear out low priority" cases and "make more room to deport
people who have been convicted of crimes or pose a security risk."
Obama's lowest priority: some deportation
cases
Debra J. Saunders
Tuesday, August 23, 2011
President
Obama is in a pickle.
Immigration enforcement actually is working - or, at least, it was working.
Under the
Obama administration, the government has removed almost 400,000 illegal
immigrants annually. That's 4 percent of the 10 million illegal immigrants
estimated to be living in America - and it sends a warning to those thinking of
illegally entering the United States.
Thanks to
the Secure Communities program, which requires local law enforcement to share
arrestees' fingerprints with Washington, about half of those deported have
criminal records. According to the administration, the vast majority of the
rest either re-crossed the border after deportation or were recently caught.
So what
did the White House announce last week? On
Thursday, Director of Intergovernmental Affairs Cecilia Muñoz blogged that the
Department of Homeland Security will review its entire deportation caseload -
that's 300,000 cases - to "clear out low priority" cases and
"make more room to deport people who have been convicted of crimes or pose
a security risk."
Sen. Dick
Durbin, D-Ill., told the New York Times that the policy would protect youths
with clean criminal records whose parents brought them into the country when
they were minors. That is, he likened the Obama policy to his proposed
legislation, the Dream (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors)
Act.
Actually,
the Obama policy goes much further than shielding minors. Under the guise of
"prosecutorial discretion," a Department of Homeland Security memo
advises officials to consider a number of "positive factors" before
prosecuting offenders. "Positive factors" include military service,
"long-time lawful permanent" residency, "minors and elderly
individuals," nursing, pregnant and disabled.
On the
one hand, the policy seems smart - let the government concentrate on deporting
threats to public safety.
On the
other hand, the White House essentially has announced that individuals who
break federal immigration law are a "low priority" and unlikely to
face legal consequences. So much for deterrence.
Worse, the
new policy will allow individuals who have been caught up in a Secure
Communities' review to apply for work permits. Mark Krikorian, executive
director of the pro-enforcement Center for Immigration Studies, said that the
new policy makes getting arrested equivalent to winning the lottery:
"Their fellow illegal aliens who were not arrested don't get work
authorization."
Krikorian
calls the new policy "administrative amnesty." Obama failed to
persuade Congress to change the law. Now with the 2012 presidential election
looming, he changed policies implemented in the Clinton and George W. Bush
years by fiat.
Bush's
Secure Communities program enabled Obama to boast that his administration
delivered the greatest number of illegal immigrant removals ever - 395,165 - in
Fiscal Year 2009. In 2010, the number fell. Last month, he told the National
Council of La Raza, "Here's the only thing you should know. The Democrats
and your president are with you."
Re-election,
after all, is his highest priority.

Obama Starts Suspending Deportations TO BUILD HIS PARTY BASE of ILLEGALS
Last
Updated: Tue, 08/23/2011 - 4:14pm
Keeping its promise to suspend deportations for a broad
class of illegal immigrants, the Obama Administration has officially started
the process that’s expected to spare tens of thousands from removal in the
coming months.
Among the first illegal aliens to benefit from the
president’s backdoor amnesty plan is a Mexican man living in Florida. He got
busted a few years ago after applying for a work permit and was earmarked for
deportation. Earlier this month local media portrayed the man, Manuel Guerra,
as a desperate undocumented
worker
trying to build a new life after fleeing violent street gangs in his native
Mexico.
This week the 27-year-old, who has lived in the U.S.
illegally for more than a decade, became the poster child for Obama’s newly
implemented amnesty program. Federal immigration authorities officially suspended his
deportation,
according a mainstream newspaper report that says Guerra had been caught in a
“tortuous and seemingly failing five-year court fight against deportation.”
Guerra was spared after a working group from the departments
of Homeland Security and Justice met to start reviewing 300,000 deportation
cases pending before immigration courts nationwide. Under Obama’s new plan,
authorities will have wide discretion to
halt deportations
and will be encouraged to do so in cases where illegal immigrants attend
school, have family in the military or are primary bread winners.
The stealth amnesty plan was first introduced last year in case Congress doesn’t pass legislation to legalize the nation’s 12 million undocumented immigrants. Earlier this year political appointees at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), actually issued a directive to enact “meaningful immigration reform absent legislative action.” The plan includes delaying deportation indefinitely (“deferred action”), granting green cards, allowing illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S. indefinitely while they seek legal status (known as “parole in place”) and expanding the definition of “extreme hardships” so any illegal alien could meet the criteria and remain in the country.

This goes hand in hand with the president’s new blueprint
for immigration reform, which was recently issued by the White House. Titled “Building A 21st
Century Immigration System,” the plan strives to strengthen the U.S. economy and
“competitiveness” by creating a legal immigration system that reflects the
nation’s “values and diverse needs.” After all, it claims that the
“overwhelming majority” of people living in the U.S. with “no legal status” are
“simply seeking a better life for themselves and their children.”
The president’s new plan, which has already allocated $8
million to community groups that operate immigrant “integrational programs,”
also expands “anti discrimination provisions of immigration law” and provides
more “comprehensive anti-retaliation protections.”

NATIONAL COUNSEL of LA RAZA "THE RACE" - MEX FASCISM IN OUR BORDERS:
NCLR Funding Skyrockets After Obama Hires Its VP
NCLR Funding Skyrockets After Obama Hires Its VP
06/17/2011
A Judicial Watch investigation reveals that federal funding for a Mexican La Raza group that for years has raked in millions of taxpayer dollars has skyrocketed since one of its top officials got a job in the Obama White House.
The influential and politically-connected National Council of La Raza (NCLR) has long benefitted from Uncle Sam's largess but the group has made a killing since Obama hired its senior vice president (Cecilia Muñoz) in 2009 to be his director of intergovernmental affairs.
Ignored by the mainstream media, Judicial Watch covered the appointment because the president issued a special "ethics waiver" to bring Muñoz aboard since it violated his own lobbyist ban. At the pro illegal immigration NCLR, Muñoz supervised all legislative and advocacy activities on the state and local levels and she was heavily involved in the congressional immigration battles that took place in the George W. Bush Administration.
She also brought in a steady flow of government cash that's allowed the Washington D.C.-based group to expand nationwide and promote its leftist, open-borders agenda via a network of community organizations dedicated to serving Latinos.Among them are a variety of local groups that provide social services, housing counseling and farm worker assistance as well as publicly-funded charter schools that promote radical Chicano curriculums. Judicial Watch published a special report on this a few years ago.
This week a JW probe has uncovered details of the alarming increase in federal funding that these NCLR groups have received since Muñoz joined the Obama Administration. In fact, the government cash more than doubled the year Muñoz joined the White House, from $4.1 million to $11 million.
Not surprisingly, a big chunk of the money (60%) came from the Department of Labor, which is headed by a former California congresswoman (Hilda Solis) with close ties to the La Raza movement. Since Obama named her Labor Secretary, Solis has launched a nationwide campaign to protect illegal immigrant workers in the U.S. Just this week Solis penned declarations with Guatemala and Nicaragua to preserve the rights of their migrants.
The NCLR also received additional taxpayer dollars from other federal agencies in 2010, the JW probe found. The Department of Housing and Urban Development doled out $2.5 million for housing counseling, the Department of Education contributed nearly $800,000 and the Centers for Disease Control a quarter of a million.
Additionally, NCLR affiliates nationwide raked in tens of millions of government grant and recovery dollars last year thanks to the Muñoz factor. An offshoot called Chicanos Por La Causa (CPLC) saw its federal funding nearly double to $18.3 million following Muñoz' appointment.
A social service and legal assistance organization (Ayuda Inc.) that didn't receive any federal funding between 2005 and 2008 got $600,000 in 2009 and $548,000 in 2010 from the Department of Justice. The group provides immigration law services and guarantees confidentiality to assure illegal aliens that they won't be reported to authorities.

COURT CRITICIZES OBAMA DHS ON STEALTH AMNESTY DOCUMENT
By NWV News Writer Jim Kouri
February 6, 2012

February 6, 2012
© 2012 NewsWithViews.com
A watchdog group that investigates,
exposes and prosecutes government corruption announced Thursday that the United
States District Court for the District of Columbia issued a ruling criticizing
President Barack Obama’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for failing to
abide by Freedom
of Information Act
(FOIA) law.
According
to Jill Farrell, Director of Public Affairs for Judicial Watch, JW officials
filed their original FOIA request with DHS on August 30, 2010, and then
followed up with a lawsuit on March 23, 2011, after the DHS
stonewalled
the release of records.
The
Obama administration filed a Motion for Summary Judgment in the lawsuit on
August 4, 2011, asking the court to terminate the watchdog group’s lawsuit. U.S. District Judge Colleen
Kollar-Kotelly
granted DHS’s motion regarding some select records, but also denied the motion
in part and chastised the agency for its inadequate explanations as to why it
was withholding certain documents:
• Regarding assertions of
attorney-client privilege, the court listed a series of “egregious” examples
demonstrating DHS’s unwillingness to specify reasons for exempting documents
from disclosure and concluded, “In the end, DHS’s generalized and non-specific
showing fails to satisfy the court that the attorney-client privilege has been
properly invoked in connection with the information withheld from Judicial
Watch.”
• The court drew a similar conclusion
regarding memoranda and communications that DHS was withholding pursuant to the
attorney work product privilege, which protects materials “prepared in
anticipation of litigation or for trial by or for another party or its
representative.” The court ruled: “Absent a more particularized showing from
DHS, the Court cannot conclude that DHS has applied the appropriate standard in
this case…”
• Regarding the deliberative process
privilege, which protects “documents reflecting advisory opinions,
recommendations and deliberations comprising a part of the process by which
governmental decisions and policies are formulated,” Judge Kollar-Kotelly
wrote, “The Court agrees with Judicial Watch that DHS has failed to provide
sufficient factual context for much of the information withheld under the
deliberative process privilege to allow the Court to conclude that the
privilege has been properly invoked.”
Although the court had the ability to force disclosure under these circumstances, Judge Kollar-Kotelly allowed DHS one “final” opportunity to establish the applicability of these privileges to the information withheld from Judicial Watch.
The Obama administration’s campaign to
suspend the deportations of most illegal aliens has been subject to intense
scrutiny since 2010, when the press uncovered a United States Citizenship and
Immigration Services memo that contemplated various “administrative
alternatives” to bypass Congress and implement stealth amnesty for illegal
aliens. A subsequent Houston Chronicle story exposed an effort by the
administration to suspend the deportations of illegal aliens who supposedly
have not been convicted of any “serious” crimes.
Documents
previously uncovered by Judicial Watch show that DHS officials misled Congress
and the public about the scope of the immigration enforcement policy change,
which gave wide latitude to local immigration officials to dismiss illegal
alien deportation cases – including
the dismissal of charges against illegal alien criminals convicted of violent
crimes. The Obama administration announced recently that it would
effectively halt any enforcement actions (on an alleged “case-by-case” basis)
against any illegal alien who has not committed any other “serious” crimes.
“The court’s ruling shows the secrecy
games by the Obama DHS. Clearly the Obama administration wants to obscure the
truth about its lawless illegal alien deportation policy. The Obama DHS believes it should be
able to withhold records from the American people without explanation or
justification. We’re pleased the court would not allow DHS to continue its
contempt for FOIA law. We look forward to continuing our legal pursuit of these
records,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Illegal
Deportation Actions by Obama Administration
Aspart
of President Barack Obama's "new immigration and deportation
strategy," all U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers
must complete a training program that stresses removing high-risk offenders
while at the same time forgo the deportation of illegal immigrants with clean
records and strong ties to their communities, said the ICE officers' union
officials
on Friday.
According
to federal law enforcement officials, a majority of ICE’s commanding officers
and prosecuting attorneys have completed the training seminar, but the National
ICE Council, which represents agency’s more than 6,000 immigration officers,
has not allowed its members to enroll in the new training program.
The tough and outspoken president of
the National ICE Council, Chris Crane, has
opposed many of the president’s strategies, arguing that Obama’s policies force
ICE officials to disregard the law.

Friends of ALIPAC,
Each day new reports come in from across the nation that our movement is surging and more incumbents, mostly Democrats, are about to fall on Election Day. Obama's approval ratings are falling to new lows as he makes highly inappropriate statements to Spanish language audiences asking illegal alien supporters to help him "punish enemies."

Obama's 'Hispanicazation' of America

Casting a shadow on economic recovery efforts in
the United States is the cost of illegal immigration that consumes U.S.
taxpayer dollars for education, healthcare, social welfare benefits, and
criminal justice. Illegal aliens (or more politically correct, “undocumented
immigrants”) with ties to Mexican drug cartels are contributing to death and
destruction on U.S. lands along the southern border.
While the declining job market in the United States may be discouraging some would-be border crossers, a flow of illegal aliens continues unabated, with many entering the United States as drug-smuggling “mules.”
Increasingly vicious foot soldiers of the Mexican drug cartels are taking control of U.S. lands along the border, especially since U.S. Border Patrol units have been reassigned, some to offices 60 to 80 miles inland.
The U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) early last year posted signs warning citizens to avoid Interstate 8 between Casa Grande and Gila Bend, Ariz., because of criminal activity in the area, an area that includes protected natural areas precious to the nation.
In reaction to public outrage over the signs, the BLM removed the offensive wording in October 2010, replacing it with the following: Visitor Information Update—Active Federal Law Enforcement Patrol Area.
As the liberal news media, far-left Democrats, and labor unions push for the “Hispanicazation” of U.S. culture, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says the U.S. border has never been more secure.
Perhaps she is basing this on the reduced number of apprehensions, which result, of course, from reassigning Border Patrol agents inland.
In a recent New York Times article, Nicholas Kristof criticized U.S. citizens for not speaking a foreign language and suggested that “Every child in the United States should learn Spanish.” He concluded that as the United States increasingly integrates economically with Latin America, Spanish will be crucial for the United States.
For decades, the liberal left has argued that Latin America is essential for U.S. business and trade. Kristof states that Latin America “is finally getting its act together” but fails to mention the Obama administration’s $2 billion loan of U.S. taxpayer money in 2009 to Brazil’s Petrobras oil company for deep off-shore oil drilling. Obama confidant George Soros, through the Soros Fund Management LLC, until recently owned millions of dollars of Petrobras stock.
Kristof suggests that one day Spanish-speaking Americans will be part of daily life in the United States and that workmen such as mechanics will be able to communicate easily with Spanish-speaking customers.
He fails to explain why these customers will not be speaking English. After all, the ability to speak, read, and write English remains a requirement for U.S. citizenship.
President Barack Obama gives lip service to increasing border control resources with limited funding and personnel. Many officials, including the governors of Texas and Arizona, are skeptical regarding the Obama administration’s resolve. They resent that the United States is being blamed for the killing fields on both sides of the Mexico-U.S. Border.
For instance, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in March 2009, during her first official visit to Mexico, placed the blame for the Mexican drug cartels’ vicious murders on the United States.
In Mexico City, she announced that the U.S. appetite for illegal drugs and the easy acquisition of guns from the United States by Mexicans are the root causes of the Mexican crime wave. “Blame America” has become the global agenda of the Democratic Party.
The Obama administration’s plan to resolve the immigration chaos is to offer amnesty to all comers. President Obama re-affirms his support of a “pathway to citizenship” (amnesty) for illegal aliens in 2011.
The administration, however, has announced no plans to control the influx of future waves of illegal aliens or their skyrocketing costs to the nation. The administration, which condones U.S. sanctuary cities and states, has no plans to file charges against them for violations of federal immigration law. Nor does the administration seem concerned about the environmental impact that illegal aliens have on the ecology of the United States.
Many national forests, parks, monuments, wilderness areas, and wildlife refuges — once the pride of the nation — are serving today as marijuana fields for illegal alien gangs.
Former Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi reportedly said to a gathering of illegal aliens in California in 2009 that U.S. immigration laws were “un-American,” suggesting that they need not be obeyed. Concerned citizens can only trust that the new speaker of the House, John Boehner, as part of congressional oversight of federal agencies, will demand enforcement of existing immigration laws.
When will President Obama recognize that illegal immigration is slowing economic recovery? Can he resolve the chaos while still appeasing his Hispanic base?
To maintain his populist aura, the president is in the habit of saying one thing to one audience and the opposite to another.
One Obama apologist explained, “Campaign rhetoric is one thing,” suggesting that governing is another. The deliberate Hispanicazation of the United States to secure a block of votes is quite another.
