Title: Napolitano Says Feds May Not Process Illegals Referred From Arizona

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

Cabinet members can be impeached, and if a majority of conservatives/libertarians are swept into office in November on a wave of anti-liberal sentiment, the iron may be hot enough to strike at someone who has abrogated their duty to protect this country.

Just sayin', Janet.

getting back on topic...


Quote
"ICE has the legal discretion to accept or not to accept persons delivered to it by non-federal personnel,"

this is actually a pretty interesting stance.  obama has ordered his minions not to comply with federal law, not to play ball with arizona.  if arizona finds an illegal, ICE will refuse to deal with the matter.

carry that forward to the next logical step. 

arizona could then attempt to deport the illegals itself, but what if mexico would reject the deportation?  stop the truckfulls of illegals arizona is attempting to return to their rightful country.

obama and mexico are clearly in cahoots about not wanting to do anything about illegal aliens.  the us government and the mexican government clearly want open borders.

so if either federal government will not abide by the standing laws on both sides of their border, and are going to try to strong-arm the arizona state government  to end its quest to restore the order of law to this situation?

hummm...

what to do?

i guess "by the people for the people" loses in this case where this government and that government collude to force their will upon us all.  right?

ummm...  no...  i don't think so...

obama?  calderon?  you picked the wrong issue to mess with the states about rights.  you may have your reasons (all political bullshit and future votes and whatnot)  but you poked the wrong hive at the wrong time and you are clearly going to lose on this one.


i guess this just proves you should never elect a guy with 15 months political experience, no matter what his skin tone or ability to read a teleprompter, to the office of president of the united states.   that office carries some responsibility, son, and you have clearly failed.  this happens every 30 years or so.  40.  remember carter?


fortunately, the health care nonsense doesn't take effect until after 2012.  this immigration nonsense can start to be addressed in november.   it will all be ok.

having a democratic leadership is like being a young, drunk and stupid college student taking a hit off the big bong.  it all seems so simple.  until you wake up the next day and it is not.

november will start to fix things...

Do you know, soon there is going to be an excellent case for compelling state interest to eject over the Mexican border--or indefinitely detain--illegals just on the basis of their illegal status. It'll cost, but if the federal executive branch flatly refuses to accept custody of illegals identified as such then states should detain them, and lets hear what the USSC has to say. Precedent will be on the states' side. as well as just about a compelling a state interest as you could have.

Arizona should just send them all to Maricopa County and let Sheriff Joe hold them until the feds are willing to do their job and take the illegals into custody. OTOH, maybe AZ can set up a detention in the middle of the desert and provide the illegals with the bare minimum for survival.

Al, just about every poll shows killer intensity among conservatives and even Republicans generally, and unusual intensity among self-described independents. November will be a Dem blood bath. I've got 5 people who never voted before voting. I was the one who ensured that they register, but they didn't need much coaxing, just a little push. And they're all pretty much politically unaware, but they know they're anti-Obama now, even if they can't explain why too well, although I'll have to report (sadly) it's mainly just about jobs. We're agreed to go together in Nov. So we have new voters coming our way.

Won't do much good except maybe at the state level here in NY--Kirsten Gillibrand is going to win, alas. No real top-tier candidate came forward to challenge her. But in other states--must be many doing as I'm doing, and in other states the elections will matter. In '08 Obama picked up many new voters. Now the good guys are going to.
