Quietly freeing illegals......

[ficklerx]

Can't seem to find much info about this. The AJC has a couple of articles from this week.

Thousands of suspected illegal immigrants facing deportation in Georgia will have their court cases reviewed for possible dismissal as the Obama administration tightens its focus on violent criminals and national security threats.

There were 6,861 pending cases combined in immigration courts in Atlanta and the Stewart Detention Center in southwest Georgia as of July 31, the most recent date for which these statistics are available, U.S. Justice Department figures show. Nationwide, there were 289,033 pending cases as of that date.

Just let 'em go. The federal government is just too busy to uphold existing immigration laws. Too busy chasing down custody logs on hardwoods in guitar factories. Besides, we obviously have enough employment and money for everyone!

Between this and the diversification of federal workforce BS, the campaign is in full force to round up the votes. :curse:

Yes, because it's the Judges in Atlanta trying to push through 6861 case using due process that are chasing down custody logs.
Every federal employee is interchangeable right?

Right?

Obama Plan to Block Deportations Amounts to Backdoor Amnesty

Statement from Governor Jan Brewer

"The Obama administration cannot get its amnesty schemes through Congress, so now it has resorted to implementing its plans via executive fiat. There‟s simply no other description for today‟s announcement that the federal government will not pursue the deportation of individuals who are in the country illegally but meet certain criteria.

"This plan amounts to backdoor amnesty for hundreds of thousands – if not millions – of illegal aliens. Especially disturbing is that it comes in the wake of the Obama administration sanctioning the sale of weapons to Mexican drug cartels – even as border states such as Arizona come under threat from those same illicit organizations. With this announcement, the President is encouraging more illegal immigration at the exact moment we need federal focus on border security.

"Just last month in speaking to the National Council of La Raza, President Obama rejected the idea of bypassing Congress and imposing immigration reform. He said, „Now, I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own. And believe me, right now dealing with Congress, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting … But that's not how our system works. That‟s not how our democracy functions. That's not how our Constitution is written.‟

"President Obama got it right last month and got it really wrong today".

"Over the next 15 months, I‟m certain we‟ll hear a lot of talk from the Obama administration about its concern for border security. Those of us who truly care about the rule of law will remember the President‟s actions of today. We need to remind President Obama that we elected a president that serves beneath the law and did not anoint a king that is above the law."

The truth of the matter of this issue is complicated....Our economy depends on cheap labor doing jobs that no one wants to do (aka picking strawberries, any labor intensive farm work really, cleaning seedy hotels, roofing jobs in Arizona's summers, ect ect) and unfortunately they are breaking the law being here illegally. Much like the war on drugs, the costs have greatly outweighed the benefits. The immigration policies are more complicated than they need to be and Mexico needs to do a better job making that shit hole country better. This political issue could be solved a lot easier if the extreme partisan bullshit ended.

Dream act via executive decree rather than legislation.

Is it not getting obvious that Congress has made them selves all but illrelevant?
