Obama’s ICE Director: No Immigration Enforcement Until Amnesty Is Passed

Essentially, there was an attempt to extort and hijack the United States Congress… and it did nothing about it except for a strongly worded response. It shows how critically ill America is and it isn’t going to get any better.

 

President Obama’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director tells lawmakers that no consequences are planned for sanctuary cities until Congress first passes “comprehensive immigration reform.” Sarah Saldaña testified before a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on criminal alien violence.

After hearing emotional testimony from families torn apart by illegal immigrant murderers, Republican members of Congress grilled two administration witnesses: Leon Rodriquez, Director of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and Sarah Saldaña, Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).  Both Rodriquez and Saldaña have been tasked with carrying out President Obama’s executive amnesty for so-called DREAMers, which includes work permits and medical benefits for low-income illegal aliens funded by citizen taxpayers.

Earnest: Obama ‘Will Continue to Aggressively Use His Executive Authority’ Regardless of Election Outcome

“Alea iacta est!“

 

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said regardless of the outcome of Tuesday’s election, President Obama “will continue to act aggressively” to use his executive authority, including on immigration reform.

“He is bound and determined to do everything that he can, using his power in the executive branch, to make progress on behalf of middle class families in this country,” Earnest said. “The president, regardless of the outcome of the election, will continue to act aggressively to use his executive authority to help middle class families.”

Pentagon eyeing immigrants who arrived illegally

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon is weighing allowing some immigrants brought illegally to the country as youths to serve in the military, a unilateral step by the Obama administration as immigration legislation remains stalled in the Republican-led House.

The announcement came Tuesday as House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, defended his election-year decision to rebuff a narrow immigration measure pushed by a GOP congressman to achieve a similar goal.

The Pentagon consideration would apply to immigrants who arrived illegally as kids but already have received work permits and relief from deportation under a program President Barack Obama announced two years ago, called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. More than 500,000 immigrants have benefited from the program.
