What the ‘Amnesty Memo’ Means
July 30, 2010 5:52 PM

By Rosemary Jenks

Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi are facing a dilemma: Although they publicly bemoan the fact that Republicans won’t help them pass an unpopular amnesty . . . er, comprehensive immigration-reform bill, they don’t want to force vulnerable Democrats to vote on amnesty this close to the November elections — especially not with unemployment at 9.5 percent.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) may have uncovered the answer to their dilemma yesterday: an internal U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services memo (reported here on NRO) that outlines steps the Obama administration can take “in the absence of Comprehensive Immigration Reform” — that is, lawfully enacted amnesty — to “reduce the threat of removal for certain individuals present in the United States without authorization.”

The four authors of the memo, titled “Administrative Alternatives to Comprehensive Immigration Reform,” are political appointees USCIS chief of policy and strategy Denise Vanison (a former immigration attorney and partner at Patton Boggs) and USCIS chief counsel Roxana Bacon (former general counsel for the American Immigration Lawyers Association), and two career employees of USCIS director Alejandro Mayorkas, another Obama appointee.

The U.S. Constitution gives Congress — and only Congress — the authority to decide federal immigration law, but the Obama administration has come up with an extensive list of ways to ensure that a majority of the illegal aliens in the United States are allowed to remain here.


No wonder Reid, Pelosi, and Obama seem content to avoid a legislative battle over immigration; the Department of Homeland Security is hard at work on ways to implement its own amnesty.

A partisan issue as Democrats support full amnesty for all of the millions of immigrants and an 'open border' policy; Republicans want to secure the border and then legislate an humane answer to all those in the US without permission.

Why am I not surprised by this? Once again Obeyme gives America the bird. I can't figure out if the guy's insufferably arrogant, flat out stupid, fixated on the Latino vote, has delusions of grandeur or thinks he was crowned, not elected.

If he pulls this stunt or even if he tries and fails, the Democrats are surely doomed in November...they're already on the ropes...if Harry and Nan think this proposed end run's going to save them from the voters wrath, they're as delusional as Obeyme.

3 months until November. Keep pissin' those voters off, Barry.

Break out the pitchforks Boys, Obama's gone off the deep end!

I understand his concern for the plight of the immigrants, both Legal and illegal, but give me a break.

The asshole is spending Billions, (Billions I say!), to chase down 100-200 AQ in Afgan-Paki and isn't concerned with millions of undocumented invaders in every city and town in America? What if only .001% are AQ or just plain crazy?

But we must not piss off the Hispanic voters at this "critical stage", while the music's still playing and every bodies place at the trough is in doubt, musn't scare anybody!

This is the end of the Republic, when the Chief Executive is unwilling to follow the law.

Although we have many disagreements, JackLuis, you and I, it is heartening to note that you comprehend the truly unlawful behavior of this administration.

I have also heard the rumors that even in a November defeat, the 'lame duck' Congress, with still a Democrat majority, will pass the Union legislation, 'Card Check' which will Unionize every major industry, and the Cap And Trade legislation that will hamstring industry and double the cost of energy to all.

Amy solutions?

The Ideal Solution is we find a good Republican, with a mind like Ike's and the ability to pull Congressional strings like Lyndon, ( yeah I know, he aint a Rep. He controlled Congress better than FDR). To balance our budget and start clearing our debt.

Enforcing the law would be a good start.

I had hopes for Obama but he was seduced to the dark side of special interests and lost any credibility as a serious man. He's merely a Politician.

Obama is a street hustler from Chicago.

With over 300,000,000 people in America he needs to create 250,000 jobs every month just to keep up with population growth; 600,000 jobs in 6 months is less than 1/2 of what was needed. Kids graduating high school and college arent gonna wait patiently for the Obama Fairy to tuck a job under their pillow. Sooner or later they get curious about why Juan Valdez matters more to Obama than they do.

Back in 1946 the GOP election theme was HAD ENOUGH? We should dust it off and use it again.
