OBAMA TO HECKLER: IF I COULD BYPASS CONGRESS TO DEAL WITH IMMIGRATION, ‘I WOULD DO SO’

President Barack Obama told a heckler Monday that if he could deal with immigration without going through Congress, he “would do so.”

The heckler, just a few rows behind Obama as he spoke about immigration reform in San Francisco, demanded Obama “end deportation now.”

“I need your help. There are thousands,” the heckler said.

Obama responded, “That’s exactly what we’re talking about here.”

The heckler said, “Mr. President, please issue an executive order” and implored him, “you have the power to end.”

OBAMA BREAKS THE LAW AGAIN AND BUYS VOTES FROM ILLEGALS!

OUR DICTATOR-IN-CHIEF HAS DONE IT AGAIN!  THINK CONGRESS WILL EVER STAND UP TO HIM?

Obama makes election-year change in deportation policy--The Obama administration announced Friday it will stop deporting illegal immigrants who come to the country at a young age The politically charged decision comes as Obama faces a tough reelection fight against Republican Mitt Romney, and Hispanic voters in swing states will play a crucial role in the contest. The change in policy could allow as many as 800,000 immigrants who came to the United States illegally not only to remain in the country without fear of being deported, but to work legally, according to a senior administration official speaking to reporters Friday.

On immigration, Obama wanted to bypass Congress--“Now, Obama has decided, in the words of an Associated Press report, to "stop deporting and begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and have since led law-abiding lives," a policy that "will affect as many as 800,000 immigrants." The action, which Republicans call amnesty and the administration calls "deferred action," will surely spark GOP calls to rein in the president's unilateral measures. The question will be whether any Democratic members of Congress, who might agree with Obama's policy goals, will dare express unhappiness with how he enacts them.”

Reporter interrupts Obama during Rose Garden announcement--The moment — which caught the president, his aides and reporters by surprise — caused Obama to bristle.… President Obama was interrupted by a reporter on Friday as he was making a statement from the Rose Garden about his new deportation policy.  In the middle of the statement, a reporter from the Daily Caller shouted out a question to Obama about whether the policy is fair to American workers. The moment — which caught the president, his aides and reporters by surprise — caused a typically calm and collected Obama to bristle…. The president had just finished telling reporters that the new policy would "lift the shadow of deportation from young people." "Let's be clear, this is not amnesty," Obama said. "This is not immunity. This is not a path to citizenship. It's not a permanent fix." The reporter, Neil Munro, then asked his question, interrupting the president. "Excuse me, sir," Obama told the reporter. "It's not time for questions, sir."

Catch and release for low-priority illegals proposed—U.S.Customs and Border Protection, the agency charged with guarding the U.S. borders, has written a secret draft policy that would let its agents catch and release low-priority illegal immigrants rather than bring them in for processing and prosecution.

Update: Obama‘s ’Illegal’ Uncle Has Valid Social Security Number, License

The plot thickens in a story The Blaze first reported on Sunday. We first told you that Barack Obama’s alleged uncle was arrested last week for DUI in Framingham, MA, despite being wanted for deportation.  Now, local news is reporting that Onyango Obama — or “Uncle Omar” — has had a valid social security number for “at least” 19 years, and also a valid driver’s license.


The Boston Herald reports:

President Obama’s accused drunken-driving uncle — who was busted after a near collision with a Framingham cop — has had a valid Social Security number for at least 19 years, despite being an illegal immigrant ordered to be deported back to Kenya, the Herald has learned.

The president’s 67-year-old uncle, Obama Onyango, has had a valid Massachusetts driver’s license and Social Security number since at least 1992, said Registry of Motor Vehicles spokesman Michael Verseckes.

Onyango Obama was arrested last week and charged with DUI. “According to a police report,” The Blaze’s Madeleine Morgenstern reported on Sunday, “he rolled through a stop sign and then made a quick left turn, requiring the squad car and another vehicle to slam on their breaks to avoid hitting him.”

Obama officials misled Congress regarding illegal immigration deportations

Jim Kouri, Law Enforcement Examiner
Posted: 07/09/2011 12:47 PM

On Thursday, the Obama Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released documents showing that DHS officials misled Congress and the public about the scope of an immigration enforcement policy change that gave wide latitude to local immigration officials to dismiss illegal alien deportation cases.

According to the documents, obtained pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, immigration officials sought the dismissal of charges against a wide range of illegal alien criminals, including those convicted of violent crimes, despite claims by the Obama administration to the contrary, according to Jill Farrell, director of public affairs for Judicial Watch. The documents concern the response by Houston immigration officials to a June 30, 2010, memo from John Morton, Director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, to all Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees instructing local immigration officials to use their discretion in “prioritizing” illegal immigration deportation cases. This new policy resulted in the dismissal of hundreds of immigration cases and an overall 40% increase in deportation dismissals with the City of Houston taking a particularly aggressive approach to the policy’s implementation. In response to calls by members of the Senate Judiciary Committee for more information regarding this new deportation policy, DHS spokesman Matt Chandler said, “The idea that DHS is engaged in 'selective enforcement' couldn't be further from the truth." However, the documents uncovered by Judicial Watch show that Houston immigration officials moved quickly to implement a broad interpretation of Morton’s memo, earning praise from ICE agency headquarters: Email from Gary Goldman, Chief Counsel for Houston ICE to Riah Ramlogan, ICE’s Director of Field Operations, August 6, 2010: I was uncertain whether to write you this short note but I am comfortable in doing so. In brief, I will push every policy that was disseminated to the Chief Counsels to my staff…effectively and quickly. I understand the responsibilities of my position and I take great pride in my work. I will…ensure each attorney is fully knowledgeable and compliant with policies regarding courtroom expectations, written work, humanitarian cases, reporting requirements, etc. (Ramlogan’s response to Goldman’s efforts, August 10, 2010: “Outstanding, Gary.”) Memo from Goldman to all attorneys, Office of Chief Counsel, Augusts 12, 2010 (ultimately rescinded per the instruction of ICE headquarters): Beginning immediately on all duty files and court files every attorney must determine whether the case may be amenable to the exercise of prosecutorial discretion pursuant to guidelines outlined in the June 30, 2010 Assistant Secretary John Morton memorandum…If the crime is remote in time and the alien has a substantial number of equities, all factors will be weighed to determine if an exercise of PD [prosecutorial discretion] is appropriate. Memo from Goldman to all attorneys, Office of Chief Counsel, Augusts 16, 2010 (ultimately rescinded per the instruction of ICE headquarters): ICE Senior Leadership does not want their attorneys to merely fill a seat in immigration court and blindly prosecute every case handed to them. The current administration wants attorneys of greater sophistication, independence and complexity in decision making… Moreover, despite the claims of immigration officials, ICE attorneys sought to block deportation proceeding for illegal aliens with violent crime offenses. A spreadsheet obtained by Judicial Watch, a public interest group that investigates government corruption, lists the specific violent crimes that immigration officials were prepared to overlook. They include: sexual assault, solicitation of murder, aggravated assault, assaulting a police officer, and kidnapping, as well as numerous drug charges. Following the press coverage of the memo, which resulted in widespread outrage, immigration officials sought to contain the damage by narrowing the scope of the policy change. An email from Raphael Choi, Chief Counsel for Arlington ICE to Gary Goldman, August 18, 2010: …in-house I’m way behind. We continue to review cases piecemeal. The problem is every time I'm about to wield a blunt instrument to our docket, some case shows up in the press that gives me pause. I think its given Riah pause too. Letter from Ramlogan to Goldman on the day the Houston Chronicle exposed the new policy on deportations, August 25, 2010: I am concerned that your interpretation of the memorandum, although well-intentioned, could create a gap in basic immigration enforcement. Your approach that our attorneys should only litigate cases within the agency’s highest priorities is not an accurate interpretation of the Assistant Secretary’s guidance and is not consistent with agency policy…please immediately rescind your memoranda (Note: Ramlogan had been provided a copy of Goldman’s memo on August 10, 2010 but provided no comment until the day the Houston Chronicle story was published.) On June 17, 2011, John Morton sent another memo to all field officers, special agents and to the chief counsel further defining the term “prosecutorial discretion.” “In basic terms, prosecutorial discretion is the authority of an agency charged with enforcing a law to decide to what degree to enforce the law against a particular individual,” Morton writes. Critics point out that this is precisely the type of “selective enforcement” the DHS has denied fostering with its new deportation policy. “These documents show that the Obama administration is implementing ‘stealth amnesty,’ which is an end-run around the rule of law and Congress.” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The Obama administration doesn’t seem to care about its constitutional responsibility to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed’ by pushing the selective enforcement of immigration laws. And they are thumbing their noses at Congress and the American people by stonewalling information requests and lying to cover up their stealth amnesty scheme. Congress should initiate a full investigation to get to the truth of the matter. The lawlessness must stop.”
