Frank Guinta Says it's Time for Washington to Start Enforcing Immigration Laws





 - posted on NumbersUSA







Rep. Frank Guinta


Rep. Guinta said that Washington's lack of willingness to enforce immigration laws is the cause for more than 11 million illegal aliens residing in the United States. Here's Rep. Guinta's column:



You and I, our families and neighbors, face a common problem. Between seven and 20 million people currently live and work in the United States illegally. They don’t pay local, state or federal taxes, yet they place an additional burden on government services and severely strain limited revenue sources. Because they came here illegally, there was no chance to check them for a criminal background. Their children attend public schools, adding to classroom size and diverting scarce education dollars. These problems keep mounting as people keep coming here illegally.



I am not opposed to legal immigration. I’m a product of it, just like many of you are. My ancestors came here legally from overseas. But illegal immigration is something entirely different. The U.S. is a nation of laws. Illegal immigrants choose not to play by the rules, and then expect to receive all the privileges given to those who followed the law and now live here legally. That’s just not right.



But everyone doesn’t see it that way. The Obama Administration has taken steps designed to make it possible for more illegal immigrants to stay in our country. An executive order was issued last month to circumvent Congress and establish new priorities for deportation. The result: it’s now easier for illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S. and apply for work permits. Even more troubling, this creates a back door approach for granting amnesty.



Let me repeat what I have said many times before: I do not favor and I will never support any attempt to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants.



I recently joined more than 50 of my colleagues in signing a letter to President Obama, protesting his action. I am also a member of the Immigration Reform Caucus in Congress.



But my involvement doesn’t end there. I’m adding my name as a co-sponsor to H.R. 2497, the HALT (Hinder the Administration's Legalization Temptation Act. The HALT Act would prevent United States Customs and Immigration Services and Immigration and Customs Enforcement from granting parole for illegals who commit crimes; issuing work authorizations; extending voluntary departures; giving illegals temporary protection status; executing deferred actions (authorizing illegals to work in the U.S); and reverses the administration’s recent executive order authorizing the cancellation of the removal of illegal aliens from our country.



To put it in everyday language, the HALT Act would do just that: it would halt the Obama Administration’s efforts to get around the law and would require the USCIS and ICE to continue doing their jobs.



If Americans want to change the immigration process and revise the laws that regulate the status of people are who currently living in our country illegally, that’s one thing. But to do it by executive fiat is something else. It’s bad enough that millions of people who choose to ignore and flaunt the law are living within our borders; it’s worse that the executive branch of our government, which is charged with upholding the law, chooses to ignore them as well.



In the last few years, we have witnessed an overreach of power from Washington as the administration has ruled by regulation. Enough is enough! I was sent to Congress to make sure the federal government returns to operating within its proper parameters and serves the people rather than lording over them.



These two problems – illegal immigration and an overzealous federal government – intersect in a way that’s bad for everyone. The HALT Act is an important tool for addressing both problems at the same time. It makes sure your government continues deporting the people who flaunt and disobey the law, and it makes sure that the government stays within its proper limits while doing so, too.



As an American citizen, you have the right to expect nothing less.

Counter The Signal Pres. Obama Sent Last Week That

All Non-Violent Illegal Aliens Are Welcome



Radio hosts and newspaper reporters the last few days have been asking me what I suggest Americans can do to counter the terrible anti-American-worker announcement by the Obama Administration that it basically won't deport illegal alien workers unless they are violent felons.



Is there any reason now that any NON-violent worker in the world should resist the urge to come to the U.S.?



The U.S. House of Representatives has to act immediately when it returns in September to send the world a reason!

http://www.numbersusa.com/faxes?ID=13425



We don't know yet exactly what Pres. Obama's people are going to do in giving out work permits to non-violent illegal aliens.



But regardless of what they do, the announcement last week sent a terribly dangerous signal to the non-violent workers of the rest of the world to begin a new mass illegal migration to the U.S.



The U.S. House of Representatives must act as soon as it returns in September to send a signal to stop this illegal stampede.



The boldest and most powerful signal it can send is to pass a national mandatory E-Verify bill that not only stops illegal aliens from getting jobs but forces employers to fire the illegal aliens already working for them.



With 22 million Americans who want a full-time job unable to find one, first the House and then the Senate this fall must tell the world that the scarce number of jobs in our country are reserved for

Americans. And that even if Pres. Obama persists in his "presence amnesty" that allows non-violent illegal aliens to remain here indefinitely, they will not be able to get and hold payroll jobs.



For three years, Congress has refused to help unemployed Americans by cutting the number of foreign workers.



Now, it has to act. If it doesn't, unemployed Americans face an even larger army of foreign-worker competition.

Obama Approval Crashes to New Low Following Amnesty Decree‏


Contact: Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC)


(866) 703-0864 Press@alipac.us



Public approval levels of Barack Obama are crashing to new lows shortly after his administration has announced an effort to bypass the Congress, the Constitution, and the American public to create a form of executive order Amnesty for illegal aliens.



The Department of Homeland Security announced last week that many illegal aliens would no longer be deported. This policy conflicts with existing federal laws that say all illegal aliens are to be deported. The US Constitution specifically states that immigration policy is to be set by the Congress, not the Executive Branch.



ALIPAC would like to publicly thank Rep. Candice Miller (R-Mich. (202) 225 - 2106) for announcing today she will hold Congressional hearings to prove Obama has violated the US Constitution with his amnesty.



An extensive collection of scientific polling data collected at ALIPAC.us shows clearly that a large majority of Americans, across racial and partisan lines, oppose any form of Amnesty for illegal aliens similar to the kind Barack Obama has created in an authoritarian way.



With this news being Obama's latest major policy announcement, his crashing numbers are likely in response to the news of "Obama's Amnesty" reaching the public.



Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) is playing a key role in distributing this news to the nation.



"Obama decreed this unlawful Amnesty for illegal aliens on a Thursday while the Congress is in recess," said William Gheen of ALIPAC. "Our first mission has been to alert the public about this move via online activism, national press releases, and numerous talk radio interviews. As word spreads of what Obama has done, his approval ratings drop."



Rasmussen Reports presidential tracking polling indicates that Obama's approval ratings have hit new lows for the last two days in a row with Obama's 'presidential approval index' rating hitting -26 today! Only 19% of Americans now strongly approve of Obama while 45% now strongly disapprove.



Barack Obama's approval levels are also hitting new lows following his Amnesty for illegal aliens decree in Gallup polling, which usually generates numbers more favorable to the president than other polling organizations.



Gallup is currently showing Obama's approval levels reaching 53% disapproval vs 40% general approval for August 19-21. This is a negative index of -13% which is a new approval low for Gallup readings on Obama.



"Obama just took steps to put over 300,000 illegal aliens and eventually millions more in direct competition with American workers at a time of historic unemployment. He has done so in a way that is illegal and unconstitutional," said William Gheen. "We are calling on the media to alert more Americans about what Obama has really done here, and we are calling on the Congress to begin the impeachment process immediately."



Americans for Legal Immigration PAC has launched an effort to build up public and congressional support for the impeachment of Barack Obama following congressional hearings that discovered the administration of Barack OBama has been using the ATF, CIA, FBI, DEA, and Department of Justice to buy thousands of assault weapons for the Mexican drug and illegal alien importing cartels.



ALIPAC's Impeach Obama Facebook page has quickly become the largest in the nation with over 23,000 supporters in the first month. An online petition website which is building up strength for national protests calling for the Impeachment of Obama has received 4,000 signatures so far.

Stop Administrative Amnesty Today by Calling Your Representative and Telling Them to Co-Sponsor the HALT Act!


Stating that it makes "no sense" to use resources removing illegal aliens who have not yet been convicted of felonies, Secretary Janet Napolitano announced last week a plan to conduct a case-by-case review of all individual cases currently involved in removal proceedings. Such an approach will allow the Administration to dismiss all cases that do not meet its "highest priority," namely all illegal aliens who have not yet been convicted of a felony.



Not only will removal proceedings against "low priority" cases be dismissed, including all of those who would have been eligible under the repeatedly failed DREAM Act, the Administration plans to grant work authorization to those who have their cases dismissed. Such a policy is boldly ignoring what the American people have instructed Congress to authorize, and snubbing the votes of Congress, which has voted down the DREAM Act on multiple occasions.



To stop this continuous effort by the Obama Administration to bypass Congress, House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX) last month introduced the "Hinder the Administration's Legalization Temptation Act" or the HALT Act (H.R. 2497). If enacted, the HALT Act would prevent the Administration from further abusing its prosecutorial discretion to grant administrative amnesty to certain classes of illegal aliens by suspending its ability to:



Grant deferred action to illegal aliens;

Grant parole or extended voluntary departure to illegal aliens who do not meet narrowly defined criteria;

Cancel the removal and adjust the status of illegal aliens ordered deported; and

Grant work authorization to illegal aliens.

Call your Representative and tell them the Administration's actions are an affront to the rule of law. Urge them to limit the Obama Administration's authority to administratively grant amnesty to illegal aliens by co-sponsoring the HALT Act today!

Express Outrage at President Obama's Plans to Offer Work Permits to Illegal Aliens!



https://www.numbersusa.com/content/my/action/board


Last Wednesday, the White House Director of Intergovernmental Relations, Cecilia Munoz, wrote a blog detailing a new strategy for prioritizing deportations of illegal aliens. Munoz wrote about an Obama Administration policy that will review future deportation cases on a case-by-case basis. Under the new policy, non-criminal illegal aliens will have their deportations deferred, so DHS can focus its attention on criminal illegal aliens.






Later in the week, the Wall Street Journal received confirmation from an Obama Administration official that illegal aliens who receive deferred action or parole can apply for work permits, so they can legally work in the United States.





300,000 illegal aliens could potentially receive work permits and compete for jobs with 22 million Americans who can't find a full-time job!





Please send a fax to President Obama and express outrage with his plans to provide an administrative amnesty to illegal aliens and allow them access to work permits.

House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith has offered legislation that would prevent the Obama Administration from offering amnesty to millions of illegal aliens through deferred action or parole. The notion of an administrative amnesty first surfaced through leaked internal memos last year, but a new blog from the White House has confirmed the new Obama Administration policy.






Chairman Smith's HALT (Hinder the Administration’s Legalization Temptation) Act (H.R.2497) would prevent the Obama Administration from:







1.granting parole (except in narrow circumstances),



2.issuing deferred action (except in narrow circumstances),



3.issuing extended voluntary departure to removable aliens,



4.granting work authorization to aliens on a discretionary basis,



5.granting TPS to any new groups of aliens,



6.waiving the three and 10 year bars to admittance for aliens who have been illegally present in the U.S., and



7.granting cancellation of removal to illegal immigrants.





The new DHS policy allows for “prosecutorial discretion” such as by granting deferred action, “deciding whom to stop, question, or arrest”, deciding “whom to detain”, and “dismissing” a removal proceeding. The memo made clear that potentially millions of deportable illegal and criminal immigrants would be potentially eligible for administrative amnesty. “When weighing whether an exercise of prosecutorial discretion may be warranted for a given alien, ICE officers, agents and attorneys should consider all relevant factors”, such as:







•ICE’s “immigration enforcement priorities.” (ICE has expressed little interest in deporting illegal immigrants who have not yet been convicted of “serious” crimes.)



•The person’s “pursuit of education in the United States”. (The Migration Policy Institute estimates that more than two million illegal immigrants would be eligible for the DREAM Act amnesty).



•“Whether the person has a U.S. citizen or permanent resident spouse, child or parent. . . . “Whether the person or the person’s spouse is pregnant . . . .” (The Pew Hispanic Center estimates that illegal immigrants have 4.5 million U.S.-born and thus U.S. citizen children.)



•The person’s length of presence in the U.S. (The Pew Hispanic Center has estimated that millions of illegal immigrants have been in the U.S. since the 1990s.)





While the Administration can't grant citizneship through its executive authority, it can shield illegal aliens from being deported and issue temporary work authorization to illegal aliens who receive the administrative amnesty.





Please send a fax to your U.S. Representative and urge him/her to cosponsor the HALT Act.

STEALTH AMNESTY: GOP ATTEMPTS TO HINDER OBAMA'S ILLEGAL ALIEN AGENDA


House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) yesterday introduced the Hinder the Administration’s Legalization Temptation (HALT) Act (H.R. 2497), legislation to prevent the Obama administration from abusing its authority to grant massive administrative amnesty to illegal immigrants.




Senator David Vitter (R-LA), Chairman of the U.S. Senate Border Security and Enforcement First Immigration Caucus, will introduce the companion in the Senate this week.



Over the course of the last year, the Obama administration has sought to circumvent Congress and use executive branch authority to allow illegal immigrants to remain in the United States. Last month, Administration officials caved to pressure from their liberal base and announced changes to Secure Communities, GOP lawmakers have stressed.



July 13, 2011

The Cypress Times



The Secure Communities program keeps neighborhoods safe by identifying illegal and criminal immigrants in police custody who have been arrested and fingerprinted, police officials told the Law Enforcement Examiner.



They claim the changes made by the Administration could open the door to allow millions of illegal and criminal immigrants avoid current immigration laws.



Specifically, the Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, issued two memos to agency officials on how to exercise “prosecutorial discretion,” such as granting deferred action, deciding whom to stop, question, arrest, or detain, and dismissing a removal proceeding. While this authority is justifiable when exercised responsibly, the Obama administration has made clear that it plans to use this authority recklessly.



“Congress has defeated amnesty for illegal immigrants several times in recent years but this has not stopped President Obama from trying a backdoor amnesty. Over the course of the last year, the Obama administration has ignored the will of Congress and the American people by using executive branch authority to allow illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S," said Congressman Smith.



Adding insult to injury, U.S. taxpayers finance the enormous number of court appeals filed by illegal immigrants -- through their taxpayer financed legal counsel -- deported for criminal convictions and fraudulent marriages, said leaders of an organization that represents police commanders.



The suspected pervasive corruption allows deportable aliens to evade hearings without consequences and permits more than 1 million removal orders to be ignored by the Obama Administration, claim officials from the National Association of Chiefs of Police.



“While this authority is justifiable when used responsibly, it’s clear this Administration plans not to use but to abuse these powers, warns Rep. Smith.



"If the President gets his way, millions of illegal immigrants will be allowed to legally live and work in the U.S. without a vote of Congress. That is why I have introduced the HALT Act, which will prevent the Obama administration from granting a massive administrative amnesty to illegal immigrants. The Obama administration should not pick and choose which laws it will enforce. Congress must put a halt to this administrative amnesty,” he said.



“The Obama administration has taken steps to pass their amnesty agenda through executive order and completely bypass Congress. In the Senate we’ve already rejected some attempts at granting amnesty for illegal aliens by defeating the DREAM Act in last year’s lame duck session," said Senator Vitter.



"The administration has now taken their amnesty push to new levels by attempting to give DHS officials and other agencies the ability to grant amnesty, which is exactly why we’re introducing the HALT Act. Awarding amnesty over the objections of Congress and the American people would be a slap in the face to taxpayers, and especially to legal immigrants,” he stated.
