Leaked DHS memo details amnesty without Congress involvement

• September 17th, 2010 12:16 pm PT

A newly leaked amnesty-memo inside
Department of Homeland Security reveals a way to grant amnesty without
Congress debating comprehensive immigration reform or casting a vote.

This is the third inside memo to
be leaked to the media regarding the Obama Administration’s intent to
legalize 20 million illegal aliens currently residing in Ao you intend
to get off your butt and do your job?

I already told you we did not elect you to just be “present!”  You are
supposed to be protecting our interests as well.merica unlawfully. The
first memos came out of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agencies- both put
together likely tools that could be used to make an amnesty end run
around lawmakers.

The American Spectator recovered
the latest document from DHS and reports some dubious plans that
insiders say went all the way up to the DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano.

“If going forward with a larger registration program is not possible,”
the memo reads, “we could propose a narrowly-tailored registration
program for individuals eligible for relief under the DREAM Act, AgJOBS,
or other specifically designed subcategories.”

For those who don’t believe the
Obama Administration’s intensions about back-door amnesty language
contained in the DREAM Act asks for targeted amnesty for children under
the age of 35 who attend college or join the armed services. The kicker
with the DREAM Act is the Democratic leadership is placing this
legislation inside a defense spending bill set to hit the Senate floor
next week.

Included in the DHS memo are
details about political ramifications of a backdoor amnesty push. The
memo outlines a beginning phase that would legalize illegal immigrants
through DHS without comprehensive immigration legislation. The DHS memo
also reads that by “using administrative measures to sidestep the
current state of Congressional gridlock and inertia,” would move the new
policy forward by documenting those here illegally.

Measures DHS would implement
include registering, fingerprinting, and screening the illegal immigrant
population-excluding those illegal aliens who have committed a felony-
but DHS envisions handing out eligible illegal immigrants work permits, a
process that would lead to their legal status.

However, the memo acknowledges
that sometime down the road Congress would have to pass legislation to
extend permanent legal residence.

This newly recovered memo is
consistent with inside memos from the USCIS and ICE, a key difference is
the concern about Congress’ reaction to being circumvented. “The
Secretary would face criticism that she is abdicating her charge to
enforce the immigration laws. Internal complaints of this type from
career DHS officers are likely and may also be used in the press to
bolster the criticism.”

In fact the USCIS has been looking
for ways to grant amnesty without Congress for sometime and their memo
outlined the method of skirting lawmakers. According to USCIS some
illegal aliens would be granted resident status by simply handing them
“green cards.”

“In the absence of Comprehensive
Immigration Reform, CIS can extend benefits and/or protections to many
individuals and groups by issuing new guidance and regulations,” the
memo read, two of the four who wrote the controversial memo were
President Obama appointees including the head of USCIS Alejandro N.
Mayorkas.

Federal Zoning, Anyone? How About Nationalization of Energy w/o Congressional Approval?

Federal Zoning, Anyone? How About the Nationalization of Our Energy Industry Without Congressional Approval?

President Obama Has Just Used an Executive Order to Do Both, New Analysis Says

Washington, D.C. -  Secretly and behind closed doors, the Obama Administration has cooked up a new scheme to subject all of America's waterways -- oceans, rivers, bays, estuaries, and the Great Lakes -- to federal zoning.

So says a new policy paper by Bonner Cohen, Ph.D., a preview of which has been published this afternoon in the Daily Caller.

The new policy, imposed July 19 in the form of a presidential Executive Order, so far has received scarcely any attention from the press, Congress or policy community.

"The scope of what the administration is putting together is no less ambitious than its health care and cap-and-trade initiatives," says Bonner Cohen, Ph.D., author of the analysis and Senior Fellow with the National Center for Public Policy Research. "Industries -- from agriculture, timber, and shipping to fishing, mining, and oil and gas -- stand to be affected. The inclusion of the Great Lakes in the plan signals the reach of the new policy. Indeed, the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio River Valleys will be targeted every bit as much as coastal North Carolina or Alaska."

The initiative is so broad in scope, Dr. Cohen says, it could lead to the nationalization of our energy industry even if Congress declines to adopt controversial cap-and-trade legislation.

Under Obama's Executive Order, Dr. Cohen says, "The EPA -- far and away the nation's most powerful regulatory agency -- could, for example, determine that emissions from power plants are harming the oceans. And if Congress fails to pass a cap-and-trade bill, the EPA could use the pretext of protecting the oceans to clamp down on greenhouse gas emissions as another extra-legislative way to pursue the administration's global-warming agenda."

Despite its low profile and immense impact, Cohen says, a White House-directed interagency task for spent over a year on the project. No Congressional approval or meaningful Congressional input was sought.
