Immigration staffers cite tools available without reform
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times

With Congress gridlocked on an immigration bill, the Obama administration is considering using a back door to stop deporting many illegal immigrants - what a draft government memo said could be "a non-legislative version of amnesty."
The memo, addressed to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Alejandro Mayorkas and written by four agency staffers, lists tools it says the administration has to "reduce the threat of removal" for many illegal immigrants who have run afoul of immigration authorities.
----snip---
The memo suggests that in-depth discussions have occurred on how to keep many illegal immigrants in the country, which would be at least a temporary alternative to the proposals Democrats in Congress have made to legalize illegal immigrants.

Or.......we could just enforce the law and secure the border. That is, ostensibly, number one on the list of things we are paying these people for. Sadly no president in my lifetime has done so. Ever since Reagan in '86 they are simply afraid to do what Ike did in '54. I think a quote from him on the subject is illustrative.
"The rise in illegal border-crossing by Mexican "wetbacks" (rooted from the watery route taken by the Mexican immigrants across the Rio Grande) to a current rate of more than 1,000,000 cases a year has been accompanied by a curious relaxation in ethical standards extending all the way from the farmer-exploiters of this contraband labor to the highest levels of the Federal Government."[2]
Damn straight!
FQ13 who would love to see the GOP nominate someone similar.

Personally I blame a LARGE part on Reagan for starting this amnesty BS!

Ike was the last bald president. Maybe that is what we need?

I'm absolutely sick and tired of this crap! It's time we ran out ALL of the illegals including the stupid Kenyan! >:( This isn't a racial thing, its a legality and economic issue. If you actually care anything for this country, become a LEGAL CITIZEN, quit waving your native countries flag, and PAY taxes instead of receiving support from them (welfare). Otherwise, go back from whence ye came with one of your cohorts under each arm. 'Nuf said!

These party hack azzholes will not be happy until they have forced Citizens to take the law into their own hands and start killing illegals. I will not state an opinion on the action, but I will point out that the victims will be those THOUGHT to be illegal, which guarantees that innocents will get killed.
They statists think it will give them a club to beat on Conservatives. They fail to connect the dots and realize that it is only a very tiny step between hanging wetbacks, and hanging the politicians who encourage them.
"Sure Senator, you can vote for amnesty, but don't ever go home again."
