Obama Giving Amnesty Using Executive Powers

Are you willing to donate $15 to tell Barack Obama that you condemn his obvious contempt for Congressional defeat of the DREAM Act? Please don't decide until you read this message, which outlines precisely how our president continues to ignore the will of the American people and pursue a surreptitious plan for granting stealth amnesty to illegal aliens. Working with open border special interests like the ACLU, SPLC, and Casa de Maryland - whose chilling vision for a lawless border represents everything that FAIR opposes -- Obama is advancing a national "amnesty by decree" agenda to circumvent the will of the people and American interests. Consider the following: A recent memo to ICE agents from Enforcement Director John Morton directed agents to use "prosecutorial discretion" in their enforcement efforts -- in effect, granting administrative amnesty to potentially deportable illegal aliens. Thankfully, FAIR staff got the word out quickly and Congress has responded by holding hearings that will hopefully hinder the administration's efforts. Attorney General Eric Holder filed a lawsuit against the State of Alabama's valiant attempt to enforce immigration laws -- in effect, signaling that the feds don't want any jurisdiction to enforce the laws it refuses to enforce. Fortunately, FAIR is on the forefront of helping the states write new laws as effective as the Arizona's SB 1070, which we helped draft. After Maryland's Legislature decided to burden state taxpayers by passing in-state tuition for illegal aliens, Marylanders garnered enough petition signatures to bring this issue to a general referendum in November 2012 -- stopping this ludicrous law in its tracks!! Casa de Maryland has already announced that it will spend upwards of $5 million to silence opponents and stop the referendum. And it won't stop there! These are just three examples of "Amnesty by Decree" that FAIR has discovered and is fighting against -- on behalf of law-abiding, tax-paying Americans like you! If you share our outrage at this imperious brand of stealth amnesty, act right now. Send $15 to fuel the FAIR Fight for meaningful -- not farcical -- enforcement of our immigration laws. Every dollar we receive helps to pay for FAIR's research and field operations teams across the country. Send FAIR $15 now and tell the president that amnesty by any other name is still amnesty. ............................................................

Department of Justice Sues Alabama

 

FOR THE WEEK OF August 8, 2011 Department of Justice Sues Alabama DHS Tells Governors it Doesn't Need Their Permission for Secure Communities House Passes Two Immigration Bills before Recess . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Department of Justice Sues Alabama In a complaint filed early last week, the U.S. government filed suit against the State of Alabama to prevent the state's recently-passed immigration law from taking effect in September. In the filings, the U.S. argued for H.B. 56 to be preliminarily and permanently enjoined from enforcement. The federal government asserts that numerous provisions of Alabama's law are preempted by federal laws and therefore violate the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution.

DHS Tells Governors it Doesn't Need Their Permission for Secure Communities On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent letters to governors of the 39 states participating in Secure Communities, informing them that it was rescinding their memorandums of agreement to participate in the fingerprint-sharing program. (LA Times, Aug. 6, 2011) The rescissions, however, do not signal an end to the program, but rather an acknowledgement by the government that Secure Communities is a mandatory program that does not require an agreement with the state.

House Passes Two Immigration Bills before Recess Monday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed two immigration bills: H.R. 398 and H.R. 1933. The first bill, H.R. 398, is sponsored by Immigration Subcommittee ranking chair Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to toll (stop from running) the 90-day period in which an alien and petitioning spouse must file a petition and complete an interview to remove the alien's conditional legal permanent resident status while either the alien or petitioning spouse is a member of the U.S. military serving abroad.
