Why does it seem like Barack Obama has been doing
everything that he can to sabotage our border security and promote more illegal
immigration? The number one responsibility of the president of the United
States is to defend our nation, and yet Obama stubbornly refuses to secure our
borders. In fact, he has been doing quite a bit to make it even easier
for millions more drug runners, gang members and welfare parasites to enter our
country illegally. This is utter insanity.
Today, the U.S. government makes it exceedingly
difficult for law-abiding people to enter this country legally through the
“front door”, but meanwhile we leave the “back door” completely wide
open. What sense does that make? And now Obama is using the
sequester cuts as an excuse to totally gut our border security.
60,000 border agents are going to be forced to take
mandatory furloughs and thousands of illegal immigrants are being released from
federal detention facilities due to “budget constraints”. Yet Michelle
Obama still has enough taxpayer money to have Adele and Beyonce come out and sing for her 50th
birthday celebration, and the Obamas continue to take extravagant vacations
that cost U.S. taxpayers millions of dollars.
And most Americans don’t even realize that the U.S.
government will still spend more money in 2013 than it did in 2012 even after
the sequester cuts are factored in. So the government still has plenty of
money to do everything that it needs to do. Obama is just using the
sequester cuts as an excuse to gut the programs that he does not like, and that
includes border security and immigration enforcement.
The sad truth is that Barack Obama never cared
about protecting our borders or enforcing our immigration laws. In fact,
he has done basically everything that he can within the constraints of the law
to make things even easier for illegal immigrants.
The following are 11 things that the Obama
administration is doing to promote more illegal immigration…
#1
The Obama administration is using the sequester cuts as an excuse to cut border
security to the bone. CNN is reporting that 60,000 border agents will
soon be facing mandatory furloughs…
The U.S. government on Thursday
notified 60,000 federal workers responsible for securing borders and
facilitating trade that they will face furloughs due to government-wide
spending cuts.
Customs and Border Protection
said it expects furloughs and other austerity will cause delays at ports of
entry, including international arrivals at airports, and reduce the number of
border patrol officers on duty at any one time.
#2
The Department of Homeland Security says that it will release approximately
10,000 illegal immigrants that are currently being held in detention centers
around the nation. The Obama administration says that there is not enough
money to hold them any longer. The following is from a recent Fox News article…
The Department of Homeland
Security has started releasing hundreds of illegal immigrants held in local
jails in anticipation of automatic budget cuts, in a move one Arizona sheriff
called politically motivated — and dangerous.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu
said Tuesday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement released more than 500
detainees in his county alone over the weekend. A spokesman for Babeu told
FoxNews.com that ICE officials have said they plan to release a total of nearly
10,000 illegal immigrants.
If you are outraged by this, you are not
alone. In fact, the official at the Department of Homeland Security that
was in charge of immigration enforcement and removal operations actually resigned because of all this.

The head of the Department of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, has
implemented a case-by-case review of all deportation cases involving illegal
immigrants. Cases involving those that have committed crimes will be
prioritized and almost all the rest will be thrown out. In essence, this
is a form of “backdoor amnesty” that the Obama administration has put into
place without going through Congress. I discussed the details of this
“backdoor amnesty” in a previous article…
Government officials have now
been given a list of 19 factors to use when deciding whether to use
“prosecutorial discretion” in deportation cases.
Essentially, what is going to
happen now is that illegal immigrants are going to get to stay in the United
States if any of the following apply….
-arrival in the U.S. as a young
child
-actively “pursuing an education”
-serving or served in the U.S.
military
-spouse of someone in the U.S.
military
-18 years old or younger
-”elderly”
-pregnant or nursing
-victim of a “serious crime”
-serious disability or health
problem
-caring for a family member with
a serious disability or health problem
As you can see, these categories
are so broad that almost all illegal immigrants will be able to fit into at
least one of them.
#4
The Obama administration wants immigrants to know that just because they are
getting food stamps that does not mean that it will hurt their chances of
becoming United States citizens. The following is from a recent Daily Caller article…
The United States Department of
Agriculture has been working to dispel immigrants’ concerns that getting on
Food Stamps will harm their chances of becoming U.S. citizens.
The USDA addresses those fears in
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamp, brochures it
distributes to Mexican consulates as part of its “partnership” with the Mexican
government “to help educate eligible Mexican nationals living in the United
States about available nutrition assistance.”
In one portion of the brochure,
USDA’s text asks, “If I get on SNAP benefits, will I be a ‘public charge?’” The
brochure then answers: “No. You and your family can apply for and receive SNAP
benefits without hurting your chance of becoming U.S. citizens.”
