Obama’s Immigration Power Play
By W. James Antle, American Spectator
Last week, the Obama administration got Clinton-appointed Judge Susan Bolton to at least temporarily throw out key provisions of Arizona’s immigration law. Within 24 hours came more evidence that they weren’t done eviscerating immigration enforcement yet.
That proof came in the form of an astonishing internal memo outlining ways the United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) could effectively legalize at least tens of thousands of illegal immigrants even if Congress fails to enact amnesty. Some would be granted resident status with the USCIS simply giving them green cards. Others would be allowed to evade deportation, possibly indefinitely.
"In the absence of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, CIS can extend benefits and/or protections to many individuals and groups by issuing new guidance and regulations," said the memo, which was prepared by four senior officials from different parts of USCIS for the agency’s director. Two of the memo’s authors are Obama appointees, as is USCIS head Alejandro N. Mayorkas.
Video: Anti Arizona Law Protestors waving Mexican Flag (and Che)
Protestors of the Arizona Immigration law, many of whom were bused in SEUI workers, are shown in this video waving an American flag.
If you look closely there is also a Cuban flag with none other than innocent-murdering "Che" Guevara proudly displayed on it.
