The Obama
Regime has opened another front of its War on the Border Patrol, and
other associated immigration law enforcement officers. The Regime is
openly threatening Border Patrol Agents (BPA) with termination for
expressing their First Amendment rights, and their adherence to the
Constitution. And for a reason.
Despite being thwarted by the courts on their expansion of the
illegal and unconstitutional Deferred Action For Parental Responsibility
(DAPA), the Regime has enacted an equally illegal amnesty that includes
those in the DAPA amnesty.
The Regime has ordered the enforcement agencies of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP), U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement Enforcement and Removal Operation (ICE ERO),
ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), U.S. Customs and Border
Protection Office of Air and Marine (CBP OAM), and CPB Office of Field
Operations (OFO) to stop arresting illegal aliens who claim to have been
in the U.S. more than two years.
This order effectively vetoes the injunction from the 5th Circuit
Court of Appeals, and immunizes the group of illegal aliens covered by
DAPA from arrest and removal.
The man who oversees the U.S. Border Patrol said Tuesday
that if agents have a problem with President Obama’s deportation
amnesty, they should quit.
The strong remarks by Customs and Border Protection Commissioner R.
Gil Kerlikowske came as tensions between Congress and the White House
grew even higher, with House GOP leaders announcing they’ll hold an
unprecedented vote to have their chamber join in the lawsuit trying to
halt the amnesty…
”And the commissioner said Mr. Judd and fellow agents who object to
Mr. Obama’s policies should usher themselves out of their jobs.”
Well, if you really don’t want to follow the directions of your
superiors, including the president of the United States and the
commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, then you really do need
to look for another job,” he said.

Kerlikowske became enraged because the Border Patrol Agents union,
National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), exposed the most recent expansion of the Obama Regime Administrative Amnesty:
In testimony to Congress last month, Brandon Judd, chief
of the National Border Patrol Council, the labor union that represents
line agents, said they’ve been told to reinstate the maligned
catch-and-release policy of a decade ago.
Mr. Judd said illegal immigrants without serious criminal convictions
have learned that by claiming they came before 2014 — without even
needing to show proof — they can be released immediately, and they
disappear into the shadows.
This new aspect of the illegal and unconstitutional
Obama Regime Administrative Amnesty
is actually worse than the old catch-and-release. In years gone by,
actually up until the closing years of the George Bush Administration,
the policy of the then INS and successor DHS was when there was no
detention space, illegal aliens would be arrested, process, then
released with a
Form I-862, Notice To Appear (NTA),
which is the legal document served on aliens when placed in deportation
proceedings and assigned to appear before a hearing officer of the
Executive Office for Immigration Review (
EOIR) to plead their case.
Here the illegal alien is only released because there was no
detention space to hold the alien in question. It was never the case
that the alien was released without processing, which included
fingerprinting and photographing as well as issuing the NTA, which
usually resulted in the alien not appearing and a deportation order
being issued
in absentia, which if the alien were ever
encountered again, would result in immediate deportation. The
significant change under the Obama Regime is that these aliens are
released
without processing
or being served an NTA.
Now Kerlikowske has denied this is happening, but his denial was very weak, or easily verified by Congressional subpoena:
Mr. Kerlikowske on Tuesday objected to that description.
He said every illegal immigrant over the age of 14 who is encountered by
agents is supposed to be fingerprinted, interviewed and put through the
usual process, including being turned over to ICE for decisions on
deportation.”
My sources have verified that said aliens who claim to have been in
the U.S. more than two years are not processed by any DHS enforcement
arm, much less turned over to ICE ERO for “decisions on deportation.”
So, the Obama Regime is lying. And why? To cover up the ongoing
massive increase in illegal immigration over the border with Mexico.
The year end spike in Central American children and
families illegally crossing the southwest border – a thorny problem with
big implications for Georgia and other states – may be part of a “new
normal,” the nation’s border chief said during a stop in Atlanta Friday.
“We are watching it pretty carefully — we are concerned,” said U.S.
Customs and Border Protection Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske, who was
visiting with police in Buckhead about human trafficking. “Perhaps we
are seeing a new normal with a lot of people wanting to come across that
southern border into the United States.”
Fleeing punishing poverty and brutal gangs, tens of thousands of
people from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras started surging across
the border in 2014. Their numbers fell toward the end of that year and
stayed lower in early 2015 before rising sharply again. Between October
of 2015 and January of this year, apprehensions on the southwest border
were more than double the number from the same period the year before.
Most of those who were caught are from Central America. Some are from
Mexico.

So, there you have it, Kerlikowske is managing an ongoing surge of
illegal aliens over the Mexican border and instructing his BPAs not to
arrest those same illegal aliens if they claim they have been in the
U.S. at least two years.
This is not the first time that the Regime and its allies have
threatened the First Amendment rights of DHS employees. The Treason Bar
was early in the attack on the First Amendment when the Obama Regime
Administrative Amnesty was in its early days
as this blog reported when the Treason Bar attacked
Chris Crane, head of the
National ICE Council, the union for ICE ERO employees, for fighting the illegal amnesty.
Time for Speaker Paul Ryan to bring impeachment charges in the House. Anything less is complicity in the
replacement of the historic American people.
Gloria
Trevi (Mexican), Alejandro Sanz (Spaniard), J Balvin (Colombian) and
two brothers (Jorge Hernandez and Hernan Hernandez) who have "dual
citizenship" (US/Mexico). They all think Trump is racist.
Longtime VDARE.COM readers may recall my article about the Tigres and their reconquista anthem Somos Mas Americanos. In 2013, the group played at a pro-amnesty rally in Washington, D.C. (See “SOMOS MAS AMERICANOS”—We Are More American! and Los Tigres Del Norte—Reconquistas, But WASHINGTON POST Didn’t Notice.)
