ICE Union: Americans Should ‘Brace Themselves’

[red states rule]

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.

Illegal immigrants don't have a vote. DUH...

As usual Gabby you will ignore this post but I enjoy showing how uninformed (or how badly you ignore facts)

When illegals get a drivers license, they register to vote. I am sure you have heard of Moter Voter

Not one state bothers to check if the person getting the Driver License is a legal citizen

So when the illegals walks out of the DMV his his/her Driver License they are then allowed to vote.

Why the hell do you think Dems want to cater to illegals? They want their vote

OK Gabby now ignore this post or go into spin mode. Your choice

In all states that I know of, you have to register to vote separate of holding a driver's license. If you are registered to vote, some states accept the driver's license is a substitute for your voters registration card.

What states are those? In Md and PA they sign you up to vote on the spot.

But illegals do vote in our election and Dems welcome them with open arms and the open taxpayers checkbook

I didn't see that listed on either state's voter registration site. Both say you need to register to vote independent of having a driver's license.

You fail to see alot of things Gabby

Illegals are voting in our elections Gabby and Dems love it

In last year's Senate race nearly 5000 illegal aliens cast their vote in the election.

The revelation comes from Colorado Secretary of State, Scott Gessler. Testifying before the House Administration Committee, Gessler said his department conducted a study comparing the state's voter registration database against driver's license records.

After doing so they discovered 12,000 illegal aliens living in the state who were registered to vote. Of these, 5,000 actually cast votes in the last election.

Gessler told Rep. Gregg Harper, the panel's Republican chairman, the study was a 'disturbing wake-up call" and hoped it would prompt every state to verify its procedures to prevent illegal voting.

Responding to the report, Harper stated, "We simply cannot have an electoral system that allows thousands of non-citizens to violate the law and vote in our elections. We must do more to protect the integrity of our electoral processes.”

The report of illegal voting was disputed by Texas Democrat, Rep. Charles Gonzales, who said it was "impossible to provide precise numbers" on the total number of illegals registered to vote. Without precise numbers he felt the entire study was to be called into question.

Gessler told the committee he would like to create a registration system requiring voters to provide written proof of their citizenship.

Measures to do so have been attempted in several states, however, they often face stiff opposition from liberal democrat groups who claim the requirements are discriminatory. Illegals rarely vote for Republicans.

Well in the states I have lived in, you register to vote at the same time our get your license. That way they have the SAME address for your voting district. You know when you change address your supposed to change your DL within 30 days right!!! So in MI, IN and FL they register you to vote at the same time the do your DL.

So tell me smart one, what states DON'T register at the same time.

I will say that you can go in and register WITHOUT getting a license but when ever you get a license they ask "would you like to register to vote today"... EVERY freaking time I have renewed my DL.....

In IL if one applies for DL or makes changes to DL, they are asked to register to vote via motor voter. They need the DL and a recent bill from the location they are 'registering at.' That's it.

Whatever happened to property-owner voting rights? I believe it was still a qualification at the turn of the 20th century(at least in territories, ie Hawaii).

They do after we give them amnesty (again).

Of course, what do you expect? Hell, the Jews (The ADL) and others filed suit against Georgia for enforcing American sovereignty and the media refuses to touch it. They're all on board with the plan.

I proved they do thanks to the lefts idea of "Motor Voter"

Gabby refuses to accept the facts which is typical for her

and the cost of illegals to the US taxpayer is staggering

An army of Justice Department attorneys has been working on the legal challenge for months. Ironically, the government will file the lawsuit against the much-needed immigration control law on the same week that a nationally recognized group reveals the exorbitant toll that illegal aliens are having on the ailing economy. A new report published by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) says that the annual cost of illegal immigration at the federal, state and local level is a staggering $113 billion.

State and local governments get stuck with a chunk of the tab—$84.2 billion—and the feds pick up the rest, according to the extensive national study that also breaks down figures by state. Not surprisingly, border states such as California, Arizona and Texas take the biggest hits and the single largest cost nationally is to educate the children of illegal aliens, $52 billion a year.

None of these astounding figures will likely be mentioned in the government’s lawsuit against Arizona’s new law, which was passed by the legislature in the absence of federal enforcement amid a dire crisis. The majority of Mexicans crossing illegally into Arizona are criminals, according to Governor Brewer, who points out that drug cartels have taken control and made most illegal border crossers “drug mules.”

Friedman: It's one dollar, one vote
