Looks like Obama is doing what he can to secure the illegal immigrant vote at the expense of US citizens


A union leader for employees of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says Americans need to “brace themselves” after the department released a memo outlining “procedural discretion” for arresting illegal immigrants.

The memo issued on June 17 informs ICE officials that they do not have to necessarily detain or deport illegal immigrants if they are enrolled in school, have family members in the U.S. military, or even if they are pregnant or nursing.

The guidelines also appear to suggest favorable consideration be given to those “who have graduated from a U.S. high school or have successfully pursued or are pursuing a college or advanced degrees at a legitimate institution of higher education in the United States” even if they are in the country illegally.

Chris Crane, President of the National ICE Council, which represents approximately 7,000 ICE agents, officers and employees, said the memo is only the latest in what has been a series of policy missteps for the agency.

“Any American concerned about immigration needs to brace themselves for what’s coming,” said Crane. “This is just one of many new ICE policies in queue aimed at stopping the enforcement of U.S. immigration laws in the United States.
