Homeland Security Memo Shows Obama Regime Considering Ways to Grant Amnesty Without Going Through Congress…
God only knows the depths this Administration would go to in order to impose their agenda on the American people…
We have disabled pinging on this post. | Weasel Zippers(NRO) — According to an internal U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services memo going the rounds of Capitol Hill and obtained by National Review, the agency is considering ways in which it could enact “meaningful immigration reform absent legislative action” — that is, without the consent of the American people through a vote in Congress.
“This memorandum offers administrative relief options to . . . reduce the threat of removal for certain individuals present in the United States without authorization,” it reads.
Also: “In the absence of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, USCIS can extend benefits and/or protections to many individuals and groups by issuing new guidance and regulations, exercising discretion with regard to parole-in-place, deferred action and the issuance of Notices to Appear (NTA), and adopting significant process improvements.”
In recent weeks, Sen. Chuck Grassley and others in Congress have been pressing the administration to disavow rumors that a de facto amnesty is in the works, including in a letter to Department of Homeland Security head Janet Napolitano. “Since the senators first wrote to the president more than a month ago, we have not been reassured that the plans are just rumors, and we have every reason to believe that the memo is legitimate,” a Grassley spokesman tells NR. (NR contacted DHS, but a spokesman did not have a comment on the record.)
Many of the memo’s proposals are technical and fine-grained; for example, it suggests clarifying the immigration laws for “unaccompanied minors, and for victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, and other criminal activities.” It also proposes extending the “grace period” H-1B visa holders have between the expiration of their visa and the date they’re expected to leave the country.
With other ideas, however, USCIS is aiming big. Perhaps the most egregious suggestion is to “Increase the Use of Deferred Action.” “Deferred action,” as the memo defines it, “is an exercise of prosecutorial discretion not to pursue removal from the U.S. of a particular individual for a specific period of time.” For example, after Hurricane Katrina, the government decided not to remove illegal immigrants who’d been affected by the disaster.
What The Hell Replican’ts doing on this God almighty just makes me want To scream from On High
these Sob’s just seem do what ever the hell They want and know is even trying to stop them or so it seems
We knew this was coming from the O/Soros/Union-Filled Administration…
There will be war!
Btw…that’s been another reason why SanFranNan hasn’t been so worried…they all work together…Soros introduced Nancy and Obama to each other years and years back…they want this done before Nov…one way or the other.
This is not gonna be pretty.
Tyranny.
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers,…
when through a long train of abuses and usurpations…
You notice to our right of the Abe Lincoln painting, the wall seems to be missing another piece. Wonder if its something that idiot took down.
sorry about my typo should have said no One trying to stop them
Never have I seen an administration so willing to go around Congress and the Senate. And never have I seen so many people willing to step aside (including Congress and the Senate), and let it go on.
@cj
good catch. it figures, he wanted nothing to the ‘right’.
I think that the program has already been implemented. This is why the gov’t is dragging its feet on getting to the appeal on the Arizona law.
My guess is that by undertaking all of things they are discussing, they in effect are creating amnesty. The Mexicans see it this way. We will have waves of people entering the United States from now on. People look at amnesty as a quick method to take care of the problem at hand. It is actually the reward for breaking the law. It is now, was in the past, and always will be. As things get worse in Mexico, we will continue to see more of it.
Annexation of Mexico and turning it into a desirable resort area for the Pacific Ocean seems to me and least one answer.
And so it goes. Yep, it ain’t going to be pretty but we have to do something or we won’t have a country.
cj,
Looks like a door, a hinge is right over Napolitano’s right shoulder. You can see the door in this pic.

It’s the latch striker over Janet’s shoulder.
I’m telling you folks, Amnesty is on it’s way and I can tell you, the republicans aren’t doing to be able to block it with RINOs like Gramnesty.
RichardD,
Remember, remember the second of November,
Of Obama’s Treason and Plot,
I see no reason
Why Obama’s Treason
Should ever be forgot.
I almost wish he’d try it. The backlash would be ENORMOUS. Obama would seal the fate of the the Dems in the minority for a long time to come because so many who are supporters wouldn’t even go for this naked power grab that so specifically goes against what 2/3rds of Americans want.
Iron Maiden and Credit Man, I repeate your statements. If they do this, I don’t see how we can avoid some kind of internal conflict or secession or both.
sorry, repeat
I wouldn’t trust anything those three guys in the picture did or said.
Where’s a good lightning strike when you need one.
This man has his own view of what he wants to do for the country and to him the will of the people and the proper rule of law are just annoyances to him. Get ready for an October Surprise like we’ve not seen before folks, the more people stand up to this goon the more petulant he gets.
Not to be a downer but, I think we’re done folks. Take care of your family and enjoy your life. And pray.
At least have the decency to take down Lincoln’s picture or put a black cloth over it.
Illegals dont want to be Americans.DUH
You are a downer, I can’t believe how wimpy some people are. BUCK UP PEOPLE we are not giving up and if you do you are part of the problem. So get on your knees and pray for more time and quit whining. Join a group, read about our history, think about our soldiers, get involved and you won’t have the time to whine. Gee it’s not even that bad yet, if we don’t win in Nov then you can whine….a little, then it’s back to work. We will fight for the rest of our lives we have no choice, do we.
Wiley C.. they have it, recall the laser heat gun brought back from Afghanistan? No doubt to be used on angry Americans..
If he can suspend the elections due to civil insurrection…who knows what he might do? God help us!
Either Labor Day weekend or Thanksgiving. Probably the latter since its after midterms.
Obama was never one for the rule of law. So it comes as little shock.
I first made this statement just after the Obozo coronation in January of 2009.
It still holds true to form for him.
