ICE agents warn Americans “to brace themselves for what’s coming”
by Dave Gibson | In the wake of the recent memo from the Obama administration which announced “prosecutorial discretion” in dealing with illegal aliens, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents across the country have been speaking out what many of them are calling a “backdoor amnesty.”
On Wednesday, ICE Union president Chris Crane told PRNewswire: “Any American concerned about immigration needs to brace themselves for what’s coming. This is just one of many new ICE policies in queue aimed at stopping the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws in the United States. Unable to pass its immigration agenda through legislation, the Administration is now implementing it through agency policy.”
Crane continued: “ICE and the Administration have excluded our union and our agents from the entire process of developing policies, it was all kept secret from us, we found out from the newspapers. ICE worked hand-in-hand with immigrants rights groups, but excluded its own officers.”
Also ignored by the press, was last year’s no confidence vote ICE agents gave Obama appointee, ICE director John Morton.
The National ICE Council represents about 7,000 agents and support staff.
Those agents, just as many American citizens are also convinced that the new policy, which gives special preference to illegal aliens who have a relative who has served in the military, those who are enrolled in any education program and even those who are pregnant or nursing is simply to a move from an unpopular president, desperate for re-election.
Crane said: “The desires of foreign nationals illegally in the United States were the framework from which these policies were developed. The result is a means for every person here illegally to avoid arrest or detention, as officers we will never know who we can or cannot arrest.”
Perhaps, most troubling are the “secret” orders under which ICE agents are reportedly now operating.
“Our officers are already under orders not to make arrests or even talk to foreign nationals in most cases unless another agency has already arrested them; you won’t find that written in any public ICE policy,” Crane said.
Finally, this warning from the ICE Union president: “I think the writing is on the wall for every person concerned about good government and effective immigration reforms – the things happening at ICE represent neither. We are asking everyone to please email or call your Congressman and Senators immediately and ask them to help stop what’s happening at ICE, we desperately need your help.”
Of course, the DREAM Act and so-called Comprehensive Immigration Reform (amnesty) have been defeated many times in Congress, due to public outrage.
However, as Obama’s poll numbers continue to slip, he has apparently once again, decided to bypass Congress this time in his pursuit of Latino votes

Once again self serving politicans are trying to achieve their own ends by betraying our nation. I am disgusted, but not surprised; this sort of behavior is the status quo for representatives on both sides of the aisle. In the mind of the contemporary politician, reelection takes precedence over the wellbeing of the country. And of course once reelection is secured attention is not directed toward the constituents, but rather personal fortune. The decline will continue until everyone, even the most ignorant among us, is forced to acknowledge the dramatic drop in quality of life.
We must reverse this process to secure our place in the world for future generations.
This will no doubt be important for Obamba's Impeachment Hearings which I believe are set to start shortly After he Steals the 2012 Election for President.
The GOP-Controlled Congress has to have Something to do while America Burns…
This makes it even more urgent that every state of the union pass there own immigration laws to off set these back door amnesty measures on the part of this adminstration.
If we were to make exceptions in every instance were some illegal alien has a relative in the military, a child born here, or going to school, or by having a clean record since arriving, there would hardly be any of them being deported. Which is the whole point of what this administration is attempting to do, and that's not to enforce our nations immigration laws.
