Republican Immigration Platform Backs 'Self-Deportation' - NYTimes.com

The open borders crowd constantly tell the American people that there are only two solutions to our nation's illegal alien crisis – give illegal aliens amnesty or round them up and deport them. This is a diversionary tactic to draw public attention away from the most effective and efficient solution – Attrition Through Enforcement.

The principle behind Attrition Through Enforcement is that living illegally in the United States will become more difficult and less satisfying over time when the government – at ALL LEVELS – enforces all of the laws already on the books. It is also imperative that the government with the full cooperation of the private sector, implements certain workplace enforcement measures. The goal is to make it extremely difficult for unauthorized persons to live and work in the United States. There is no need for taxpayers to watch the government spend billions of their dollars to round up and deport illegal aliens; they will buy their own bus or plane tickets back home if they can no longer earn a living here.

Gay illegals to be exempt from deportation...

US may grant gay immigrants deportation reprieve
Sun, Sep 30, 2012 - The US Department of Homeland Security is planning to issue a policy memo stating that illegal immigrants with American same-sex partners are eligible to have their deportations put on hold under a federal program designed to shift resources away from low-priority cases.

The move had been sought by gay rights activists and their allies in US Congress before US Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano announced plans for the policy on Thursday in a letter to 84 Democratic lawmakers. “It will mark the very first time that lesbian and gay couples have been recognized within immigration policy for relief,” said Steve Ralls, the spokesman for Immigration Equality, an advocacy group for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender immigrants.

The Democratic lawmakers addressed in Napolitano’s letter pressed the agency to inform Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field offices that bi-national gay couples in long-term relationships have family ties that should be considered as grounds for deferring removal from the US. “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,” Napolitano wrote, adding that the decision to grant reprieves would still be considered on a case-by-case basis.

The instructions do not mean that foreigners who are married to Americans of the same sex will be eligible for green cards or citizenship, as are immigrants with opposite sex spouses. US President Barack Obama’s administration is continuing to enforce a 1996 law that prohibits the government from recognizing same-sex marriages, even as it opposes it in court and takes gay relationships into account when evaluating deportation cases. The Williams Institute, a think tank, estimates that as of 2010 there were about 29,000 same-sex couples nationwide comprised of a US citizen and a foreigner.

The policy guidance expected to go out next week will reference a memo ICE director John Morton issued last year advising the agency’s officers and lawyers to review pending deportation cases to determine which ones should be top priority and which ones might be shelved, Napolitano said. Government attorneys weigh factors such as a person’s criminal record, family ties and community relations in making their decisions. ICE officials said at the time that long-term same-sex relationships could be included under the family ties criteria, but advocates and Democrats led by US House of Representatives Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi wanted that determination put into writing.

Americans have been saying this for decades. Stop giving jobs and welfare and free school and free health care to illegals and they'll leave. Won't cost a penny.
