“Some 20 members of various groups gathered in front of Barack Obama’s campaign headquarters in Chicago to denounce the president for “using immigrants as guinea pigs for his own political gains.”
YEP!
Ping ‘em, please.
AND could still be deported after Obama leaves office even if they are accepted by the Obama immigration department to stay. Legally they are still (immigration) lawbreakers and signing up here is an admission of it.
Now a anti-Obama political group could have some fun with this running commercials in Hispanic areas warning illegals that this is a trap Obama is setting for Hispanics.
Here in Maryland obama's buddy O Malley proposed a special drivers licence for illegals that couldnt be used as a Federal ID to get around the Real ID law to let illegals drive legally here . It's pretty funny if you think about it, a special ID for illegals.
And another thing..
The agency in charge of processing/approving these aliens is USCIS. The most dysfunctional outfit EVER. They will either lose the apps or rubber stamp them all.
“A Day in the Life of USCIS”- (Is this any way to protect our nation?)
Letter from Mike Cutler, former INS agent who testifies before congress and appears on various news programs:
I just came across the item I have attached below when I reviewed the latest edition of USCIS Today. The date of this edition was April 6, 2006. Clearly the folks who work for USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) the division of the Department of Homeland Security that adjudicates applications for a wide array of immigration benefits have their work cut out for them.
Last month the GAO issued a report of their findings concerning the critical issue of immigration benefit fraud. While the use of the term “critical” has been used often to describe a variety of issues of varying significance, it is entirely appropriate to consider immigration benefit fraud to indeed, be a critical issue. It is through benefit fraud that two-thirds of the terrorists who have been identified as operating within our nation up to the attacks of September 11, 2001 utilized immigration benefit fraud to either enter the United States or embed themselves in the United States so that they could hide in plain sight as they prepared to attempt to attack our nation and our people. The GAO report can be found at: http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d06259.pdf
The document shows just how much work is being done at this point in time, prior to the implementation of any guest worker amnesty program. There is still a significant backlog and with the pressure on to process as many applications as possible, quality control is the casualty of this process at USCIS. There is no way that the beleaguered employees of USCIS can deal with a guest worker amnesty program that would result in millions upon millions of additional applications being dumped into the over worked system [snip]

Some of the DAILY work of USIS according to their own document:
* Conduct 135,000 national security background checks
* process 30,000 applications for immigrant benefits
* Issue 7,000 permanent resident cards (green cards -PER DAY)
* Welcome 2100 new citizens.
* Welcome 3500 new permanent residents.

Wife & I went to drop off some mail at the post office on the way to Wal-Mart around 1 pm. Coming out of the alley behind the fire dept downtown, catty corner across the street sits a very big Dpt. of Homeland Security bus. Now, our little town is having an annual festival this weekend, with carnival rides littering a couple intersections, and this bus sits in a lot adjacent to the rides.
I don’t see what it would have to do with the carnival, but I wonder if they plan to take applications for amnesty from our local immigrants, using the carnival weekend as a draw. Hmmmmmmmm.
