Study accuses Obama administration of 'dismantling' immigration enforcement

[Shadow]

A detailed timeline being released this week by a leading anti-illegal immigration group documents what the organization describes as a pattern by the Obama administration of looking the other way on immigration enforcement.

While the charges are not necessarily new, the detailed list of grievances regarding the administration's immigration policy could provide fodder for those trying to paint President Obama as weak on enforcement in advance of the November election.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform, which provided an advance copy of the election-year study to FoxNews.com (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/interactive/2012/07/24/fair-study-on-obama-immigration-record/), catalogued dozens of statements and policy decisions since 2009. The group claims the "unilateral actions" all bend toward the same goal -- "to render enforcement of U.S. immigration laws ineffective."

The study follows on the heels of the administration's decision in June to, through the Department of Homeland Security, allow thousands of illegal immigrants who came here as children to stay and seek work permits.

Weak might be forgiveable...intentionally derelict is definitely not.

Bush too undermined our borders, mostly the Southern one. No surprise there. Notice these are all 'conservative sites' and they were none too happy with him:

Good info on the subject. I stopped around page 11; does the report contain stats on crime committed by illegals (besides their illegal entry)? It seems to me this has become a serious problem.
