U.S. To Suspend Countless Deportations
Judicial Watch ^ | June 21, 2011

Posted on 06/21/2011 1:45:38 PM PDT by jazusamo

In a first for any administration, President Obama has implemented a new system to spare a myriad of illegal immigrants from removal by authorizing—and encouraging—low-level field officers to block deportations by using an outrageously broad list of exemptions.

The unprecedented program will allow droves of undocumented immigrants to remain in the U.S. by drastically expanding factors that can be considered to exercise “prosecutorial discretion.” That’s when agencies get to decide to what degree they enforce certain laws against particular individuals.

Beginning this week, federal immigration officers, attorneys and other officials can cancel the removal of an illegal immigrant that is breast feeding or pregnant, has pursued an education in the U.S., has a relative in the military, has ties and contributions to the community or a U.S.-born child (anchor baby), to name a few. A “person’s length of presence in the U.S.” will also strengthen their case to stay.

The new prosecutorial discretion guidelines are outlined in a memo issued a few days ago by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton. For the first time ever, employees from field agents to senior officials are empowered to apply the ridiculously broad criteria to help illegal immigrants avoid deportation.

Morton encourages ICE officers, agents and attorneys to quickly consider prosecutorial discretion for illegal immigrants who meet the new benchmarks instead of waiting for their advocate or counsel to “request a favorable exercise of discretion." He claims in the memo that this will “preserve government resources.”

Clearly, this is the Obama Administration’s latest effort to fulfill a secret amnesty plan 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), issued a directive to enact “meaningful immigration reform absent legislative action.”

That 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.

Judicial Watch has sued the Department of Homeland Security to obtain records detailing the stealth amnesty plan because the agency has ignored a federal public records request that dates back to July 2010.

They can move to the “sanctuary” Freak State, Maryland, so as to have the support of Casa Maryland (a commie alien-support group funded by taxpayers) and have in-state tuition.

Not sure how it’s legal, I guess because Zer0 says it is because there were no votes in the legislature.

Load all the illegals on to a bus and take them to DC. Dump them out in front of the WH and tell them ‘the guy inside will take care of you.’

“How is this legal?”

You can’t see that the 0 is a full fledged dictator?

Illegals are just doing the job Americans won’t: namely voting liberal Democrat.

Now pay your taxes - these lawbreakers need the money. :)

How about we deport Zer0, Moochelle, and the girls to Kenya, jerk all their passports, and shutoff all his pay and allowances as ex-president. Let “The One” and his family mooch off Kenya — they will take care of things we're too PC to do.

Secure Communities = Open Borders

ICE has shifted its duties from Federal Immigration Law Enforcement to state and local criminal law enforcement.

ICE has no business in local criminal law enforcement. The ONLY time ICE has business in local law enforcement is WHEN they are informed because it involves illegal aliens.

With the implementation of the "Secure Communities" program ICE has effectively left the borders open by concentrating limited resources on areas outside its duties and as well ICE is effectively tying the hands of and preventing state and local law enforcement from enforcing immigration laws.

Hmm, I wonder if Obama will consider applying these same exemptions to Americans instead of arresting and jailing them for violating a law.

RE: "has pursued an education in the U.S"

DREAM ACT anyone?

What the marxist could not get the legislature to give he simply creates by selectively ignoring existing laws.
