NEW YORK TIMES NOW THE MOUTHPIECE FOR LA RAZA PROPAGANDA AND SUPREMACY!
“Americans
should understand that this legislation only guarantees legal status for
illegal aliens, including serious criminals,” Mr. Crane said. “It contains no
promise of solving our nation’s immigration problems.”

Single-Minded Mission
to Block an Immigration Bill
WASHINGTON
— These are hectic days for the federal deportation officer who has made it his
single-minded mission to stop a bipartisan bill to overhaul the immigration system that is making
its way through the Senate.
The
officer, Chris Crane, heads the union of immigration enforcement agents. Obama
administration officials become exasperated at the mere mention of his name.
Recently,
Mr. Crane testified about the bill in the House Judiciary Committee, securing
his record as the most frequent witness on Capitol Hill during this year’s
immigration debate and the favorite expert of conservative critics of the
Senate measure. Once again, his warnings were categorical and dire.
“Americans
should understand that this legislation only guarantees legal status for
illegal aliens, including serious criminals,” Mr. Crane said. “It contains no
promise of solving our nation’s immigration problems.”
Mr.
Crane also sat down with Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, a Republican who
helped write the bill, offering a sweeping critique of its security provisions.
Then Mr. Crane starred at the news conference where Representative John Barrow
of Georgia, a Democrat, presented his alternative bill on enforcement, which
reflected many of Mr. Crane’s demands for more immigration agents and less
leeway for administration officials to decide how to deploy them.
And
the pace is picking up for Mr. Crane, even though his union, the National
Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council, represents 7,700 of 20,000
employees of the immigration agency known as ICE.
The Senate bill, having survived a barrage of hostile
amendments in committee, is headed to the full Senate with momentum that has
surprised even its supporters, driven by a coalition including Latinos,
high-tech businesses, growers, labor federations and religious groups. It would
create a 13-year path to citizenship for immigrants here illegally, strengthen
border security and revamp legal immigration.
Opponents,
playing defense, increasingly argue that the bill is weak on enforcement and
would allow a new wave of illegal immigration. Mr. Crane is the go-to guy to
make that case.
He says, in stark terms, that the Obama
administration’s performance could not be worse.
“Across
the board, we’re not doing law enforcement work,” Mr. Crane said in a recent
interview in Salt Lake City, where he is based. “It’s very disturbing as an employee in general to see
the Department of Homeland Security lie to the American people day in and day
out about who we’re arresting.”
He
says that officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement have exposed
agents to danger from gang members in detention centers, and that they
threatened to discipline agents for detaining illegal immigrants encountered on
the street. To reinforce his points, he brought a lawsuit last year against
Janet Napolitano, the secretary of homeland security. A decision from the Texas
judge in that case is expected soon.
Homeland
Security officials said their enforcement record spoke for itself. Under the
Obama administration, ICE has deported more than 1.4 million people, including
increasing numbers of convicted criminals — 225,000 last year. Officials say
Mr. Crane ignores the deportation numbers as part of a personal crusade to put
a right-wing tilt on immigration policy, which they say is out of line with his
duties as a law enforcement officer.
Plain-spoken
and camera-shy, Mr. Crane is an unlikely labor firebrand.
He
said he had grown up in conservative country in Wyoming and served two tours in
the Marine Corps before joining ICE 10 years ago. He traced his bitter doubts
about the agency to his early days there, when, he said, his first supervisor
was frequently drunk on the job. He joined the union for protection from
retaliation after he reported that manager, he said.
Since
then, morale among ICE employees has been sinking, he said, with Homeland
Security ranking 279 out of 292 federal agencies in an annual federal
government survey last year.
“Our
managers are completely out of control,” Mr. Crane said. He recalled an episode
in 2009 in an ICE office in El Paso when two married agents said their baby had
been born with medical problems because of work pressure and sexual harassment
during the pregnancy.
ICE
agents protested on the female agent’s behalf, Mr. Crane said. He broke into
tears as he recounted the events.
More
recently, his feud with top ICE officials is over a policy instructing
deportation officers to exercise prosecutorial discretion, deporting criminals
rather than immigrants whose only violation is being here illegally. Mr. Crane
said many ICE agents found the policy, which was started two years ago,
confusing and contrary to their mission. He waged a battle with ICE managers
over when and how agents would be trained to carry it out.
“They
are asking law enforcement officers to basically ignore their law books,” Mr.
Crane said. “For officers out in the field, we can’t function like that. We
have to have laws that are very clear, that aren’t ambiguous, that we can
confidently go out into the street and enforce.”
ICE
officials strongly disputed many of Mr. Crane’s statements. Brian Hale, an ICE
spokesman, said that the episode in El Paso had been swiftly referred to the
agency’s inspector general and that top managers there had changed.
“Any
suggestion that this allegation of local misconduct is in any way linked to the
broader policy disagreements between the union and ICE management is incorrect
and misleading,” he said.
Mr.
Crane is in a minority in the immigration agency. Nearly 9,000 investigating
agents in ICE are represented by a different organization, the Federal Law Enforcement
Officers Association, and they do not agree with his approach.
“The
union has a tendency to fire Scud missiles at the administration,” said Andrew
Rakowsky, the association’s representative at ICE. “We work to find common
ground.”
And
Mr. Crane is in an even smaller minority among law enforcement leaders, with
national associations of police chiefs and sheriffs rallying behind the White
House to support the bill. He is also rowing against a flood tide in the labor
movement, even though his local is affiliated with the A.F.L.-C.I.O. The
federation has organized a nationwide campaign to push for the overhaul. Its
leaders have also called on the Obama administration to halt almost all
deportations while the legislation is being debated.

“What
we're seeing is our Congress and national leadership dismantling our laws by
not enforcing them. Lawlessness becomes the norm, just like Third World
corruption. Illegal aliens now have 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.”

JUDICIAL WATCH:
It proves the Obama administration is willing to go to any extent
- including gaming the courts - to continue stonewalling the full story of its
lawless release of illegal aliens. Now, with the prison floodgates being thrown
open to illegal aliens under the phony pretense of abiding by sequester cuts,
it is more important that details of this threat to the public safety be
revealed.
