Obama isn't interested in enforcing immigration law. In fact, he's encouraging people to come here illegally.
ISTOOK: Judge's order condemns how Obama promotes smuggling children across our border - Washington Times“The Department of Homeland Security, instead of enforcing our border security laws, actually assisted the criminal conspiracy [of child-smuggling] in achieving its illegal goals,” writes a federal judge in a court order.
U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen in Brownsville, Texas, issued the order in December. It explains and condemns how todayÂ’s crisis was created by President Barack ObamaÂ’s laxity and refusal to enforce our immigration laws. An estimated 10,000 unaccompanied children are being apprehended each month as they are smuggled into the U.S. yet permitted to stay. Military bases and facilities in Texas, Arizona and California are overflowing, so another 600 are being transferred to Fort Sill, Okla.
Since most border violators are not caught, the actual numbers arriving presumably are far larger.
Few children can make the 1,650-mile trip from Central America to Texas on their own, so these children are mostly being transported by smugglers. The human-traffickers blatantly advertise that President ObamaÂ’s policies virtually guarantee success: Even if caught, the child will be delivered to the family, courtesy of U.S. authorities.
Paying the smugglers thousands of dollars per child are their parents and family — illegal aliens already in America who send for their children under the belief that amnesty is coming and they will benefit from it. U.S. taxpayers get the rest of the tab. Under Obama’s policy we pay $2 billion to complete the process of delivering illegally-arrived children to their illegally-here family. Nobody gets deported. Nobody gets charged with the crime of paying to smuggle people into the country.

“The DHS is rewarding criminal conduct instead of enforcing the current laws,” the judge concluded. He found four clear and present dangers which this causes:
“These illegal activities help fund the illegal drug cartels which are a very real danger for both citizens of this country and Mexico … [involving] murder, kidnapping, assault, drug trafficking, weapon smuggling, and money laundering. However, by far the most vile crime in which these organizations and other criminals are engaged is the exploitation and trafficking of children.”
“The DHS‘ current policy undermines the deterrent effect the laws may have and inspires others to commit further violations.”
“This policy is encouraging individuals to turn their children over to complete strangers — strangers about whom only one thing is truly known: they are criminals.”
“This policy lowers the morale of those law enforcement agents on the front line here on the border.”
I'd ask you to rationally defend this, but you don't see anything wrong with it, because your worship of your little tin god doesn't allow you to acknowledge he's anything less than perfect.
