Napolitano Says Feds May Not Process Illegals Referred From Arizona
« on: May 21, 2010, 01:16:59 PM »

DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano said ICE is not obligated to process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.

"ICE has the legal discretion to accept or not to accept persons delivered to it by non-federal personnel," Napolitano said. "It also has the discretion to deport or not to deport persons delivered to it by any government agents, even its own."

John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities.

The best way to reduce illegal immigration is through a comprehensive federal approach, he said, and not a patchwork of state laws.

I stand by my earlier statement to my liberal Facebook "friends" that the government is NOT doing its job vis-a-vis immigration enforcement.

If she and ICE are not obligated to do their job, then we shouldn't be obligated to pay them.

Hi,

Looks like BO, through Napolitano, has decided to selectively enforce federal immigration laws.  What an idiot!  Read today where 80% of the population is in favor of the AZ law at present.  Since when does the federal government have the right to selectively enforce laws?  If that, in fact, becomes policy then it is time to start impeachement proceedings for "dereliction of duty" as he is failing to enforce the Constitution of the United States.  He continues on this track and he may cause a showdown for the democrats who are governing against the will of a whole lot of people.

Not a problem.
Arizona can process and deport :jerkit: all by themselves. They can bus them to DC and drop them off there.

The State Senator who wrote the AZ law is now working on a law to deny automatic citizenship to the children of illegals.

Birth certificates are issued by the states aren't they? heheheh

Hi,

I do not give a damn if it will work or not.  All this is doing is educating the American people and leading AZ toward secession which will really change the entire situation as many other states will follow.  Let BO try to sell the public on going to war to preserve the union.

The reason I don't think this anchor baby law would work is that it is in direct conflict with federal law. I'm pretty sure that the fed has the right to determine who is a citizen.   I do agree that Obama is trying to create conditions favorable to race riots.

That would clearly violate the 14th amendment and be immediately struck down by the courts.

Or it would be an interesting test case for eliminating the "anchor baby" problem altogether.  Several constitutional scholars and court-o-philes have said that the use of the 14th to grant citizenship to anyone born on US soil, regardless of the citizenship status of the parents is a tenuous stretch of the amendment at best.  There are rumors that 'certain courts' presently out of "favor" with the current regime have been looking forward to a test case on this subject for some time.

It would take slightly rewriting the 14th Amendment to make that work. 'All persons born in the United States, where at least one parent is born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof ...'

Won't work.  Citizenship and the determination of such IS in fact expressly granted to the federal government in the Constitution.  About the only way that's going to change is if the SCOTUS reinterprets the 14th Amendment (fat chance of that) or a constitutional amendment is passed denying anchor babies automatic citizenship (even slimmer chance of that.)

If the feds can say they won't do their job, why should the state do its job?

Frankly, this is nothing new.  You could call ICE (or INS back in the day) and TELL them EXACTLY where illegals were at, and the usual response would be either, "So?" or, "We're too busy."  Happened all the time back in CA.  Their basic attitude was, once they get past the border, it's not their problem anymore.
