Get out of deportation cards.

GET OUT OF DEPORTATION CARDS.[/B]

The Dream Act Obama signed into law are “get out of deportation cards” for 1.7 million Illegal Alien children and their parents and Obama’s order to stop deportations delivers millions more “get out of deportation cards.” And the order for border patrol agents to use their discretion when apprehending Illegal Aliens on the border is a “free pass” for millions more Illegal Aliens. Who is left to deport?
When Obama signed into law the Dream Act he may have unleashed a nuclear bomb on America and the fall out will be devastating for Americans and their families. And killing the American dream for America’s children.
With 20 million Americans unemployed or underemployed and unemployment among young Black men is 50.2% the Dream Act and the stop deportation order will cause that number to rise. That amounts to kicking a man when he is already down. Where are the million of jobs needed for those given work permits coming from?
Obama’s policy will encourage millions more to immigrate illegally to take advantage of the next “get out of deportation card” given out.
The Dream Act allow these 1.7 million to get Social Security numbers and driver license that will allow them to vote.
The Dream Act is a prelude to citizenship.
What will Obama do to provide healthcare for the 1.7 million with legal status and work permits. More emergency room passes?
Work permits for the Dream Act children will allow them to compete for part-time jobs desperately needed by American’s children to help them through college.
This act of Obama is an American tragedy that will go down in history.
Those who believe the Dream Act, stop deportations is the humane, compassionate and right thing to do have not live with Illegal Aliens and what they bring to a neighborhood.
The Deam Act work permits will set Blacks back a hundred years in the work force.

Immigration agents sue to stop Obama’s non-deportation policy
Thursday, August 23, 2012 - Saying they are fed up with being told that they can’t do their jobs, 10 immigration agents on Thursday sued the Obama administration to try to overturn the president’s new non-deportation policy.

The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Texas, adds a legal controversy to the political fight that has been brewing over President Obama’s immigration policies, which have steadily narrowed the range of immigrants whom the government is targeting for deportation. The 10 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and deportation officers said Mr. Obama’s policies force them to choose between enforcing the law and being reprimanded by superiors, or listening to superiors and violating their own oaths of office and a 1996 law that requires them to put those who entered the country illegally into deportation proceedings.

Upping the ante, the agents are being represented by a high-profile lawyer, Kris W. Kobach, secretary of state in Kansas and the chief promoter of state immigration crackdowns such as Arizona’s tough law. “ICE is at a point now where agents are being told to break federal law. They’re pretty much told that any illegal alien under the age of 31 is going to be let go. You can imagine, these law enforcement officers are being put in a horrible position,” Mr. Kobach said. Last week, the Homeland Security Department began taking applications from those no older than 30 who came to the U.S. as children and who have kept at least fairly clean criminal records. They are being granted “deferred action,” which is an official notice that they are not to be deported and will be granted work permits to stay and get jobs legally in the U.S.

Matt Chandler, a spokesman for the department, said the administration thinks it is right to target deportation efforts on those with major criminal records or other priority categories. He also said more than 90 percent of those whom ICE deports meet those criteria. “The secretary’s memo on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals is a continuation of the department’s focus on these priorities, and ensures that responsible young people, who are Americans in every way but on paper, have an opportunity to remain in the country and make their fullest contribution,” he said. In their 22-page complaint, the agents say they have been told in broad terms to stop taking action on a whole class of illegal immigrants. They said they have been instructed not to bother asking for proof, either, but to take an immigrant’s word about qualifying for the president’s policy.

Chris Crane, president of the National ICE Council and one of those suing to stop the policy, said morale is low among rank-and-file employees at the agency. “They feel like they’ve become the enemy because, literally, we have this situation where individuals that have broken U.S. immigration law as well as oftentimes criminal law at the state or local level — they’re being released, no questions asked, but our own officers are being threatened with their careers being taken away if they go out and enforce the laws on the books,” said Mr. Crane, an ICE deportation officer. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in the Northern District of Texas, argues that the administration policies fail to pass muster on three grounds: They infringe on Congress’ right to set immigration policy, they force ICE agents to disregard the 1996 law, and the Homeland Security Department didn’t follow the federal Administrative Procedure Act, which requires agencies to write regulations and put them out for public comment before taking big steps.

DHS: In Immigration Cases, ‘Family Relationships’ Now Include Long-Term, Same-Sex Partners
October 11, 2012 – Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano confirmed last month that the agency has added to its prosecutorial discretion guidance consideration of same-sex couples as “family” when deciding illegal immigration cases.

A Sept. 27, 2012 letter from Napolitano to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) confirmed the policy after the congresswoman and dozens of other Democrats sent two letters to the secretary decrying the fact that LGBT couples were not specifically included in the original guidelines issued by DHS in June 2011.

“As you are aware, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton's June 2011 memorandum, ‘Exercising Prosecutorial Discretion Consistent with the Civil Immigration Enforcement Priorities of the Agency for the Apprehension, Detention, and Removal of Aliens,’ requires ICE personnel, when considering whether an exercise of prosecutorial discretion is appropriate, to consider the totality of the circumstances presented in individual cases, including whether an individual has close family ties to the United States, when making enforcement decisions,” Napolitano’s letter states.

“In an effort to make clear the definition of the phrase ‘family relationships,’ I have directed ICE to disseminate written guidance to the field that the interpretation of the phrase ‘family relationships’ includes long-term, same-sex partners,” the letter states. “As with every other factor identified in Director Morton's June 11 memorandum, the applicability of the ‘family relationships’ factor is weighed on an individualized basis in the consideration of whether prosecutorial discretion is appropriate in a given case,” Napolitano’s letter states.

After Morton’s memorandum was released, Pelosi and dozens of other Democrats sent a letter on Sept. 27, 2011 to Napolitano expressing concern that LBGT individuals had not been included. The Democrats sent another letter to Napolitano on Aug. 1 and Napolitano sent a letter last month confirming DHS will add language about same-sex couples being “families.”
