Feds Refuse to Deport 6 Illegals Protesting AZ Immigration Policies

(AP)– Federal authorities say they won‘t deport six illegal immigrants arrested during a Phoenix protest over Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s immigration policies.

Feds Refuse to Deport Six Illegal Aliens Protesting Immigration

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said Wednesday that they determined that the protesters did not fall under “ICE’s enforcement priorities.”

Nearly 150 people were at Tuesday’s rally, which blocked a street in front of a high school.

Phoenix police say the protesters were told to leave by 5:30 p.m. A line of officers then approached the protesters in the road and took some into custody.

The six were arrested for obstructing a thoroughfare and disorderly conduct. They included two girls, ages 16 and 17, two 20-year-old women, an 18-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man.

    Umm, they broke the law, I would think that would qualify to get deported. Yes, it might be a low level crime, but it is a crime none the less. Until we get Holder out of office along with Obama, illegals will have the run of our country.

    Don’t get me wrong, I don’t fault them for wanting a better life, what I do fault them on is doing illegally. If I moved to Mexico illegally you better believe my butt would be shipped back to the U.S.

      ENCINOM,

      “They were exercise their freedom of speech…”

      Wait just a minute there hotshot — since when does an illegal have “freedom of speech”? You are talking about the Freedoms that we as Americans have, because we are American Citizens. We are here legally, and therefor, the 1st Amendment applies to us — not to illegals. They are not registered American Citizens. They came here illegally.

      You know what they do with the money they make here in America? They send it back to their families in Mexico. And you know what that does to our Economy? It destroys it! This does not contribute to the growth in businesses by spending that money in America — no sir. This is taking that money, and sending it out of the country. This hurts our Economy. It does not help it.

      They should be deported back to Mexico. They did not register to be American Citizens. They did not come here legally. They have to play by the same rules as any other foreigner. Amnesty does not exist for illegals — they cannot receive benefits if they are not legally here.

      Sorry to burst your bigot bubble but illegal aliens also enjoy protection from the bill of rights.

      “Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws,“ applied to all persons ”without regard to any differences of race, of color, or of nationality,“ and to ”an alien, who has entered the country, and has become subject in all respects to its jurisdiction, and a part of its population, although alleged to be illegally here.” (Kaoru Yamataya v. Fisher, 189 U.S. 86 (1903) )

      Encinom,
      There you go again ! Do you not undrstand that when you break the law you are subject TO the law. What are you really saying ? That no one should ever be deported ? Do you have no standards at all ? I think that you think that you bring intelligent debate. Not so much. How about you step back outside of your pollitical bigotry and look at the story. What do you think ICE should have done from a logical and legal standpoint. If you do not believe that one of the best protections for the people of a nation is their national borders then maybe that’s where the discussion should really start.
      The law af a nation is the government of a nation. The law defines a nation. The borders are the geography of a nation. Without the perseverance of either we have no nation. Would that be exceptable to you ?

    The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like Barack Obama 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 Barack Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America.

    Blaming the Prince of Fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President.

      Actually Enicinom,
      If you study the history of this country, you will find that it was founded by Christians and based upon Christian values and principles. Taking God out of this country and it’s laws has been the work of radicals over the last century, and it is one of the major causes of the crises we face as a nation today. Those who hold to the laws of God will hold to the laws of authority figures such as government (as long as those laws do not contradict the laws of God). So needless to say if more people were following God in this country there would be a lot less crime and injustice. Also if our leaders were men of God, they would be seeking to restore the republic and the principles it was founded, rather than trying to systematically destroy it. You may think that God has nothing to do with the things happening to this country, but on the contrary He has everything to to with what is happening in our country and in the world.

      If you truly believe that the Bible had nothing to do with the formation of America or its justice system, you:

      a) Have never been to the Supreme Court building and seen Moses & the Ten Commandments.
      b) Have never read the Preamble or the US Constitution.
      c) Have never read the words of men like George Washington who said: “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labour to subvert these great Pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and citizens.”
