Obama Bypasses Congress and Gives Amnesty to Illegal Aliens

Federation for American Immigration Reform

Claiming that it makes "no sense" to remove illegal aliens who have not yet been convicted of felonies, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced its intention to conduct a file-by-file review of all active cases currently involved in removal proceedings. DHS has begun "closing" the cases of illegal aliens it claims should be allowed to stay.

Donate to FAIR

Feebly disguised as an "enforcement priority," the policy announcement blatantly ignores the existing immigration laws as well as the constitutional separation of powers that gives Congress exclusive authority to make immigration policy. Its effect will be the exact opposite of what Congress intended when it voted down the DREAM Act last year as it opens the door to some 300,000 deportable aliens to be given work authorization.

Clearly, the Obama Administration's contempt for Congress and the American rule of law is outweighed only by its contempt for Americans who sincerely want our immigration laws enforced.

FAIR was first to swing into action to challenge this thinly disguised amnesty action. Last week we filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request and swiftly sent a letter to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano challenging this policy change. See the attached letter to examine FAIR's in-depth challenge to this policy.

If you share our outrage with this blatant circumvention of the constitutional separation of powers - and I know you do - please donate $25 now to help FAIR fight this dangerous precedent that threatens to severely weaken the system of checks and balances established by our founding fathers and further reduce the number of jobs available to unemployed Americans.

With your generous donation of $25 today, we can continue to fight the FAIR fight against the well-funded, organized and motivated open border lobby which seeks to ram an unwanted amnesty down the throats of the American people.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Dan Stein

Stop Administrative Amnesty Today

Federation for American Immigration Reform

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!

    Contact your Representative here.
