‘Backdoor Amnesty?’ Obama Halts Automatic Deportation of Illegals

WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) — The Obama administration said Thursday it will allow many illegal immigrants facing deportation the chance to stay in this country and apply for a work permit, while focusing on removing from the U.S. convicted criminals and those who might be a national security or public safety threat.

That will mean a case-by-case review of approximately 300,000 illegal immigrants facing possible deportation in federal immigration courts, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in announcing the policy change.

Advocates for an immigration overhaul have said that the administration, by placing all illegal immigrants in the same category for deportation, has failed to live up to its promise to only deport the “worst of the worst,” as President Barack Obama has said.

“From a law enforcement and public safety perspective, DHS enforcement resources must continue to be focused on our highest priorities,” Napolitano wrote a group of senators supporting new immigration legislation. “Doing otherwise hinders our public safety mission – clogging immigration court dockets and diverting DHS enforcement resources away from the individuals who pose a threat to public safety.”

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the letter.

Sow what does this mean practically? The Washington Times tries to sort it out:

It was unclear how many people might be affected by the new rules, though in fiscal year 2010 the government deported nearly 200,000 illegal immigrants who it said did not have criminal records.

The Obama administration has argued for months that it did not have authority to grant blanket absolution, and Miss Napolitano stressed that these cases will be treated individually, though the new guidance applies across the board.

Some states are rebelling against another administration effort to control illegal immigration known as Secure Communities. The program requires that when state and local law enforcement send criminal suspects’ fingerprints to the FBI, the prints are run through an immigration database to determine the person’s immigration status. States have argued that the program puts them in the position of policing immigration, which they consider a federal responsibility. Immigrant advocacy groups have complained that people who had not yet been convicted of a crime were being caught up in the system.

In June, the director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, John Morton, sent a memo to agents outlining when and how they could use discretion in immigration cases. That guidance also covered those potentially subject to a legislative proposal, known as the DREAM Act, intended to give young illegal immigrants who go to college or serve in the military a chance at legal status.

Morton also suggested that agents consider how long someone has been in the United States, whether that person’s spouse or children are U.S. citizens and whether that person has a criminal record.

A senior administration official said delaying deportation decisions in cases for some non-criminals would allow quicker deportation of serious criminals. The indefinite stay will not give illegal immigrants a path to legal permanent residency, but will let them apply for a work permit.

“As a matter of law, they are eligible for a work authorization card, basically a taxpayer ID card, but that decision is made separately and on a case-by-case basis,” said the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discussed the change publicly.

The official said the change will give authorities the chance to keep some cases from even reaching the court system. The message to agents in the field, the official said, would be “you do not need to put everyone you come across in the system.”

If an immigrant whose case has been stayed commits a crime or other circumstances change, their case could be reopened.

Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., a longtime supporter of immigration overhaul and the DREAM Act, applauded the policy change.

“These students are the future doctors, lawyers, teachers and, maybe, senators, who will make America stronger,” Durbin said in an emailed statement. “We need to be doing all we can to keep these talented, dedicated, American students here, not wasting increasingly precious resources sending them away to countries they barely remember.”

“Today is a victory not just for immigrants but for the American people as a whole because it makes no sense to deport Dream Act students and others who can make great contributions to America and pose no threat,” said Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-IL). “It is not in our national interest to send away young people who were raised in the U.S. and have been educated here and want only to contribute to this country’s success.”

Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, said the Obama administration was implementing reforms “against the will of Congress and the majority of American people we represent.”

“It is just the latest attempt by this president to bypass the intended legislative process when he does not get his way,” McCaul said in a statement. “The fact that we have a backlog and prioritize deportations is nothing new. This policy goes a step further granting illegal immigrants a fast-track to gaining a work permit where they will now unfairly compete with more than 9 percent of Americans who are still looking for jobs.”

Other Republicans have previously criticized the DREAM Act and other immigration legislation that would provide a path to legal status as amnesty. Following Morton’s June memo, Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, introduced a bill to block the administration’s use of prosecutorial discretion and called the use of that discretion “backdoor amnesty.”

“Supporters of comprehensive and targeted amnesties for illegal aliens have consistently failed to win approval by Congress or gain support from the American public,” Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, told the Times. “Having failed in the legislative process, the Obama administration has simply decided to usurp Congress’s constitutional authority and implement an amnesty program for millions of illegal aliens.”

      Indeed it is backdoor amnesty: Look out for some civil rights group to take up a case with one or more of the illegal immigrants who obtain the tax id numbers and claim that since they have this id number, and the administration has ordered the stop to their deportation, therefore they must have been given citizenship in the US.

      Someone will make a play along those lines, almost assuredly.

      While hiking down along the border this morning, I saw a Muslim extremist fall into the Rio Grande River; he was struggling to stay afloat because of all the guns and bombs he was carrying. Along with him was an illegal Mexican who was also struggling to stay afloat because of the large backpack of drugs that was strapped to his back. If they didn’t get help, they’d surely drown. Being a responsible Texan and abiding by the law to help those in distress, I informed the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office and Homeland Security. It is now 4 PM, both have drowned, and neither authority has responded. I’m starting to think I wasted two stamps……..

    $11 billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments.
    Illegal households only pay about one-third the amount of federal taxes that non-illegal households pay.
    Illegal households create a net fiscal deficit at the federal level of more than $10 billion a year. If given amnesty, this number could grow to more than $29 billion.
    $1.9 billion dollars a year is spent on food-assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC and free school lunches for illegal aliens.
    $1.6 billion is spent on the federal prison and court system for illegal aliens.
    $2.5 billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
    About 21 percent of the population of U.S. prisons is classified as “noncitizens” from Mexico, Colombia, Cuba and the Dominican Republic. About 5 percent is listed as “unknown.”

    This was back in 2009 – so I’m sure the numbers are much higher now. Way to go Obama. Ship ‘em back home and we could stand to save 57 billion a year. That may put a small dent in our deficit.

      By the way..the first thing that came into my mind was “illegal immigrant race over the border”. For all the illegals that fled back to Mexico during the recession (when the money dried up), I can see them all racing back for amnesty now. Thanks Barry.

      @ AvengerK

      Well Said!!
      These people are here ILLEGALLY…..they are breaking our law. Period. End of discussion. What part of that is so hard to understand???

      If an American citizen breaks the law they are held accountable & punished. Illegal aliens don’t get punished – they get rewarded. Appalling.

      As for all that future docs, lawyers, teachers crap – send them back over the border. They want those careers, they can go to school in their country and let their government pay for it.

      I’m real tired of my tax dollars supporting these criminals.

      The mexicans can easily legally enter the country… All they have to do is stop by any INS office (in most border towns) and get a green card… But then they have to pay Income tax and social security tax…

      So… they sneak across the border, and our “government” lets them vote, gives them welfare, food stamps, educates their kids, pays their medical expenses, etc. while we, the American taxpayers pick up the “tab”

      The Mexicans very well could become lawyers, teachers and senators. These are affirmative action jobs with minimum requirements. However, it is extremely remote that they will become doctors, PhDs, dentists, businessmen or other private sector contributors.

    How long can Congress continue to let this man RUIN our country? Write to your elected offical today! Bombard them with the information that if they don’t do something to prevent this, they will be out of a job come election time. Here is a link to find your elected official. Talk is cheap.

    Action speaks louder than words.

    Figures that the idiots in Illinois support this thing. And what perfect timing. The marxist in chief goes on another vacation as this news breaks. And no, Dick D, these students are not future dotcors, lawyers, or Indian chiefs. They are your support base. I will be calling my congressmen and Senator ( do you hear me Mitch McConnell??? )

      QUOTE OF THE CENTURY, MAYBE EVEN THE MILLENNIUM

      Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic . Someone over there has it figured out. We have a lot of work to do.

      “The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

      You got it, simply put we voted for him. And if you can believe the polls after all he’s done, still being around 40%. That’s scary!
