Immigration activists upset that ICE wants to deport all illegals who are law breakers

U.S. immigration officials laid out plans last year that would ratchet up expulsions of immigrants convicted of minor crimes as part of an urgent push to make sure the government would not fall short of its criminal deportation targets, new records obtained by USA TODAY show.
Among those new tactics — detailed in interviews and internal e-mails — were trolling state driver's license records for information about foreign-born applicants, dispatching U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to traffic safety checkpoints conducted by police departments, and processing more illegal immigrants who had been booked into jails for low-level offenses. Records show ICE officials in Washington approved some of those steps.
[...]
"If this is what ICE is currently doing, it's very problematic," said Gregory Chen, the director of advocacy for the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Chen said such tactics contradict immigration officials' public pledges to streamline enforcement by focusing on dangerous criminals and show that the agency instead sought to "increase its criminal alien numbers by pursuing people with minor offenses like traffic violations."

Don't fall for this ruse. It's another hoax by Team Obama.

Virtually every single one of these "deportees" will soon be right back in the USA, since our border security is virtually nonexistent.

Obama wants to jack up the "official" tally of deportations so he can make the false claim - as he did during the presidential debates - that he is "enforcing" our nation's immigration laws.

This barefaced lie not only helped Obama win re-election, but it will - he hopes - pave the way for "comprehensive immigration reform", i.e. amnesty, citizenship and voting rights for 10-20 million Hispanic Democrats from Third World countries.

If the Obama-Rubio comprehensive immigration reform bill - there's VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE between their 2 bills - ever becomes law, the GOP can kiss future presidential elections goodbye, because swing states like Florida, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada & Colorado will become blue states, and the red state of Texas will become a swing state.

Marco Rubio is doing the bidding of the pro-amnesty lobby, which includes business interests seeking cheap immigrant labor, and media moguls like Rupert Murdoch who depend upon their advertising.

Rampant illegal(and legal) immigration is great for the bottom line of these folks, but absolutely horrible for the rest of us as it drives down real wages, drives up government spending, taxes, deficits and debt, drastically increases the amount of violent crime near the border, and puts a huge hole in our national security and defense(see 9/11/01).

Not to mention the fact that it greatly enhances the political prospects of liberal Democrats while destroying those of conservative Republicans.
