In the wake of the recent memo from the Obama administration which announced “prosecutorial discretion” in dealing with illegal aliens, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents across the country have been speaking out what many of them are calling a “backdoor amnesty.”
On Wednesday, ICE Union president Chris Crane told PRNewswire: “Any American concerned about immigration needs to brace themselves for what's coming. This is just one of many new ICE policies in queue aimed at stopping the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws in the United States. Unable to pass its immigration agenda through legislation, the Administration is now implementing it through agency policy.”
Crane continued: “ICE and the Administration have excluded our union and our agents from the entire process of developing policies, it was all kept secret from us, we found out from the newspapers. ICE worked hand-in-hand with immigrants rights groups, but excluded its own officers.”
Also ignored by the press, was last year's no confidence vote ICE agents gave Obama appointee, ICE director John Morton.
The National ICE Council represents about 7,000 agents and support staff.
Those agents, just as many American citizens are also convinced that the new policy, which gives special preference to illegal aliens who have a relative who has served in the military, those who are enrolled in any education program and even those who are pregnant or nursing is simply to a move from an unpopular president, desperate for re-election.
Crane said: “The desires of foreign nationals illegally in the United States were the framework from which these policies were developed. The result is a means for every person here illegally to avoid arrest or detention, as officers we will never know who we can or cannot arrest.”
Perhaps, most troubling are the “secret” orders under which ICE agents are reportedly now operating.
“Our officers are already under orders not to make arrests or even talk to foreign nationals in most cases unless another agency has already arrested them; you won't find that written in any public ICE policy,” Crane said.
Finally, this warning from the ICE Union president: “I think the writing is on the wall for every person concerned about good government and effective immigration reforms - the things happening at ICE represent neither. We are asking everyone to please email or call your Congressman and Senators immediately and ask them to help stop what's happening at ICE, we desperately need your help.”
Of course, the DREAM Act and so-called Comprehensive Immigration Reform (amnesty) have been defeated many times in Congress, due to public outrage.
However, as Obama’s poll numbers continue to slip, he has apparently once again, decided to bypass Congress this time in his pursuit of Latino votes.

WHY DO WE THE PEOPLE PUT UP WITH THIS...........THIS IS TREASON AGAINST THE U.S.A.........WE HAVE BORDERS TO KEEP ILLEGALS OUT, BUT THEN WE HAVE OBAMA?
you all ought to go to the mothersagainstillegalamnesty.com I found them by accident.lol I saw on their web site that they had the Mexico Constitution at one time but they still have some Good info. I learned that if their parents came here illegally then it drops their citizenship here in the USA even if they were born here. For they are Citizens of Mexico only and only their citizenship is there.
You are right. If you are a citizen of another country, then you are illegally here. That includes President Obama, he is a citizen of Kenya. I will go to www.mothersagainstillegalamnesty.com to find out more information. Thank you.
What other nation rewards criminals? Illegals have broken the law.
Pretty sad when you're own government kicks aside its' own natural born US citizens, in favor of illegals, then attempts legal action against states for enforcing federal immigration laws. If the federal government fails to do its duty, the states have no choice but to enforce that law for the good and safety of its own citizens. ICE isn't the only government agency that is nearly being cut down to no more than a meaningless acronym.
ONLY IN OBAMA'S WORLD COULD THIS HAPPEN.
