Obama’s Backdoor Amnesty

By Matthew Vadum on 8.22.11 @ 8:30AM

Amnesty. Amnesty. Amnesty. Amnesty.

That’s what the Obama administration’s new immigration policy is no matter what the Left says.

The new DREAM Act decree is a purely political calculation intended to shore up the president’s sagging support among Latino voters, I write at Front Page Magazine.

In a constitutional republic like the United States of America, the chief executive dare not admit that he is usurping the power of the legislative branch. So Obama’s instrumentalities must maintain the fiction that he is not implementing the DREAM Act by executive fiat. That’s what DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano has been doing.

Implementation of the DREAM Act has long been the goal of a galaxy of leftist pressure groups including National Council of La Raza, ACORN, By Any Means Necessary, MEChA, National Day Laborer Organizing Network, and the Hugo Chavez-funded CASA de Maryland.

Their demands will only grow.

America needs to know that ACORN is restructuring in time to help re-elect President Obama in 2012. Obama used to work for ACORN and represented the group in court as its lawyer. These radical leftists who use the brutal, in-your-face, pressure tactics of Saul Alinsky want to destroy America as we know it and will use any means to do it.

Correct. I guess the Perry lovers can't really say anything about this when their man doesn't believe in securing the border and instituted his own DREAM act in Texas. Perry wouldn't even approve of E Verify for Texas state government workers.

Perry = Obama on this issue.

Of course this subversion of immigration amnesty is being instituted by this government, just as was their DofJ's lawsuit against Arizona also politically motivated to promote illegal immigration and to intimidate Brewer and Arizona. Nor is their Interior Dept's prevention of oil compnay required drilling permits unintended, and is extremely detrimental to our energy needs. Pick a card of poison, folks, cause IT'S THE DEMOCRATS, STUPIDS!!!!!!!

Urge Congress to pass the halt act.

Did any Americans expect the Obama government to sidestep the Congress by executive order, giving 300.000 nationals to probably receive a free pass? I guess when the polls say your ability to run the government is in the doldrums, the only method of hoping for better outcome in 2012, is for the ethnic majority--legal and illegal is to get out the vote. Because our federal voting laws are so negligent, voting numbers for Obama, will be magnified illegally by foreign nationals in that election. More and more states are requesting official picture ID to vote, such as a Drivers License, but even that ID is not without risk?

Of course the Obama administration and the hard core leftists that are in the Department of In-Justice agency, this new policy will remain subdued when carried by the Liberal press. So the majority of the general public will stay satisfactory ignorant. Simply put, you only hear the propaganda and rhetoric from the Left wing of reporters in the national press. The moderate side of the media is disturbed by the costs involved, when the dollar figure expenditures are alerted by different states, to appease the illegal alien invaders. Highest on the dollar spectrum is the instant citizenship for babies, a misinterpreted text under 14th Amendment. Over three hundred thousand babies annually are smuggled into America inside the pregnant Mother across borders or through airlines entry points. Once here the baby born gets an automatic birth certificate, the illegal mother can collect all manner of welfare payments, including the free hospital stay. It bears repeating that the small state of Rhode Island, is caught up in this forced judicial law as are all Americas taxpayers.

The fact is that it’s perfectly legal for a impoverished, pregnant illegal alien, who presents herself as such, to receive state aid in Rhode Island or come to that most states, especially frontier states. It’s the law! As Rep. Peter G. Palumbo (D-RI) reported, if pregnant illegal aliens show up at a Human Services office in Rhode Island, they are given the option of Blue Cross, United Healthcare, or Neighborhood Health insurance. They also receive a $450 a month debit card, and $275 a month in food stamps. According to Palumbo, the extension of such entitlement programs to illegal aliens is costing the state approximately $150-$350 million a year. Next year Rhode Island costs will rise, as well as the estimated $113 Billion dollars for the country--currently will sky rocket.
We cannot forget that the Heritage Foundation apprised the majority of taxpayer’s fears, if Obama signed into life another executive order for the second mass AMNESTY, the dollar projection would be a negative $2.5 TRILLLION.

We've got to reverse Obama's Backdoor Amnesty. No Backdoor Amnesties! No states without E-Verify protection or “Secure Communities.” No more giving away American jobs to illegal aliens! There is no other option, but to remove through mandatory E-Verify (the business safety-net that identifies foreigners in the workplace) and in addition start amplifying 'Secure Communities." 22 million US citizens and legal residents should not be searching for a job, when the Democrats are abusing the "Rule of Law" that all Americans are committed too, written down in the US Constitution.

Last week, the White House announced a new plan that will provide an amnesty to non-criminal illegal aliens. Under the new policy, deportation cases will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and certain illegal aliens will not only avoid deportation, but could also apply for work permits.

Under the plan, 300,000 illegal aliens could receive work permits while 22 million Americans who want a full-time job can't find one!

Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Lamar Smith, has introduced legislation that would prevent Pres. Obama and the Department of Homeland Security from moving forward with this policy. The HALT Act (H.R.2497) would prevent the Obama Administration from:

• granting parole (except in narrow circumstances),
• issuing deferred action (except in narrow circumstances),
• issuing extended voluntary departure to removable aliens,
• granting work authorization to aliens on a discretionary basis,
• granting TPS to any new groups of aliens,
• waiving the three and 10 year bars to admittance for aliens who have been illegally present in the U.S., and
• Granting cancellation of removal to illegal immigrants.
•

Contact your U.S. Representative urging him/her to support Rep. Smith's HALT Act. Remember the TEA PARTY leadership is against any form of AMNESTY, as this reckless law that President Obama has just past. The more millions that are encouraged to smuggle themselves into this nation, the more money it cost taxpayers. The worst flaw in Immigration laws is CHAIN MIGRATION. This law must be rescinded, after the original sponsor drops his surety and taxpayers become the payee for those family circle sponsored. They collect (SSI) Supplementary Security income and state payments, which none of these sponsored people have ever paid into. Read all the facts at NumbersUSA, Federation for American Immigration Reform, V-DARE and Judicial Watch for corruption in Washington.

• Our nation should welcome employees with the high credential, especially in the technology. Economical illegal aliens should hunted down and ejected, as they are welfare recipients that we can no longer afford.
