Obama readies major action on immigration enforcement
Washington Post ^ | July 25, 2010 | Peter Slevin

Posted on 07/25/2010 1:56:00 PM PDT by mdittmar

In a bid to remake the enforcement of federal immigration laws, the Obama administration is deporting record numbers of illegal immigrants and auditing hundreds of businesses that blithely hire undocumented workers.

The Immigation and Customs Enforcement agency anticipates deporting about 400,000 people this fiscal year, nearly 10 percent above the Bush administration's 2008 total and 25 percent more than were deported in 2007. The pace of company audits has roughly quadrupled since former President Bush's final year in office.

Don’t fall for it. He knows where he stands with the country on the immigration issue and he also knows he is haemorrhaging Democrats/independents on this. Besides, he won’t change his stance on Amnesty. This is just for show.

The GOP and the right has got to make this point very clear.

This whole “immigration debate” is about MAKING DEMOCRAT VOTERS OUT OF ILLEGAL ALIEN FELONS AFTER GRANTING THEM AMNESTY.

And the answer to that is not no, but HELL NO, and also make it clear that if the socialists succeed in MAKING DEMOCRAT VOTERS OUT OF ILLEGAL ALIEN FELONS AFTER GRANTING THEM AMNESTY, their CITIZENSHIP AND RIGHT TO WORK WILL BE REVOKED AND THEIR ASSES DEPORTED AND THROWN IN JAIL as soon as the GOP takes over Congress and the Presidency.

This is a god damned war, we need to fight this marxist dirty trick to the last man.

Is this attributable to Arizona’s tougher enforcement policies?

What crap, if this is what is doing, its just a ploy to placate other states that are thinking of going Arizona on him.

Hey Obama, we already got an Arizona memorial to another foreign people who pulled a sneak attack on us. Why are you dead set on another?

The obama ICE is going after more businesses, BUT not detaining illegals found . The illegals are “expected” to self deport. The government is counting all these illegals as being deported because ICE cost them their jobs.( or at least temporarily). Ain’t government “math” wonderful.

More and more each day this trash in the white house reminds me of some of the black neighborhoods in Atlanta, Where you have a nice wasdhed and polished Cadillac park out side of the house with nice new polished mags and a fur steering wheel, but the side toward the house is sitting on blocks and the motor is blown.

anticipates deporting about 400,000 people this fiscal year

Key word='s "anticipates".

Oh and what exactly is "the pace of audits" ? Are they doing more or are they rushing them ?

Dumb bunny couldn’t create private jobs any other way, so he deports some illegals, who will just sneak back across with in days of being deported. And go right back to working under the table at their old jobs. LOL

They will deport those with criminal records. They will then welcome the rest to share in the fruits of our labor.

Obama thinks a good lie is worth as much politically as good character, and he’s arrogant enough to think he can sell it.

Morton’s June 30 memorandum set priorities for the capture, detention and removal of illegal immigrants. With the federal system facing a limit on how many people it can deport each year, he wrote, “principal attention” must go to people convicted of felonies or at least three misdemeanors punishable by jail time.

In descending order of importance, the memo cites people convicted of a misdemeanor, those caught near the border and individuals who have failed to obey deportation orders.

While the Obama administration focuses on suing Arizona for doing the job he won’t, his Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) chief John Morton focuses on the important issues of ICE. But the agency suspiciously has no breakdown of the crimes and will not accept the illegals that Arizona deports. What a freakin’ joke.
