This morning June 15, 2012, the Department of Homeland Security stated it intends to ignore the United States Constitution, bypass Congressional authority, and administratively implement “The Dream Act”. 

The statement came via a Department policy memo, signed by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, followed by a television appearance explaining the policy memo specifications. According to the statement effective immediately, the Obama Administration will stop deporting illegal aliens who meet certain specific qualifications, grant illegal aliens “deferred action” and authorization to work by providing them with a “Work Permit”. 

Deferred action status is just one of at least 4 different provisions DHS grants when it decides within its own discretion, not to remove an illegal alien. This new policy is effective immediately and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will create an application process that will be implemented within 60 days.  It is estimated that nearly 1 million illegal aliens will receive a reprieve and not fear deportation via this new policy.

The specific qualifications are: The illegal alien is under the age of 30 and entered the U. S. before the age of 16. The illegal alien has been in the U. S. for 5 years. The illegal alien has graduated from a U. S. High School or received a GED. The illegal alien has no criminal history. The illegal alien can serve in the U. S. military or receive a "Work Permit" which is good for 2 years and has unlimited renewal 2 year terms. Today's declaration advances "The Dream Act" policies.

This is nothing but a stealth amnesty for a million or more young illegal aliens, and who knows where it will lead. .  

The Citizens Council on Illegal Immigration encourages all of our supporters, activists, and friends to respectfully voice their objection to the Obama Administration’s new policy. They must hear our voices, read our messages requesting them to respond to the wishes and concerns of every American citizen who demand government follow its own laws and abide by the provisions of the United States Constitution and its separation of powers.

Please call the White House, the DHS, and your members of Congress and tell them:

• You believe in the rule of law; it is the foundation of our sovereign nation.
• You demand an immigration system that conforms to our immigration laws.
• The U. S. Congress, not the Executive Branch, has sole authority to establish immigration laws; it is the responsibility of the Executive Branch to enforce them.
• You object to rewarding illegal immigration through “deferred action” or any other executive maneuver.
• Declare misplaced compassion for lawlessness only creates more lawlessness.
• Explain this policy memo is an act of shameless political pandering just five months before the presidential election.
