Six illegal immigrants attended the State of the Union address as guests of President Obama in an effort to bolster his calls for immigration reform.
"If we are serious about economic growth, it is time to heed the call of business leaders, labor leaders, faith leaders, and law enforcement – and fix our broken immigration system. Republicans and Democrats in the Senate have acted. I know that members of both parties in the House want to do the same," Obama said during his speech. "Let’s get immigration reform done this year."
But it seems as though President Obama is more serious about emboldening illegal immigrants than helping law enforcement agents dealing with the problem. According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent and President of the National ICE Council Chris Crane, President Obama is still refusing to meet with them to discuss the issue.
"According to news accounts, the President has once again invited illegal immigrants to the State of the Union – and yet the President still refuses to meet with ICE officers. We have a President who will provide those illegally in the US with the seat of honor at one of the most important events of the year, but ICE officers who serve under him are unwelcome in the White House," Crane said. "This is symptomatic of the President’s continued demonstration of contempt for immigration officers and his blatant disregard for Congressionally-enacted law. ICE officers are forced every day to release violent offenders back into the streets; we are prohibited from enforcing immigration violations and document fraud and from cracking down on illegal employment; we are prohibited from enforcing public charge law to protect taxpayers; and we are forced to catch-and-release illegal aliens who are not ‘priorities’ even when officers' believe there is a threat to public safety."Read the rest of the story HERE.

Yeah...why doesn't this surprise me?
Obama and the Dems holding up ILLEGALS higher than the officers in charge of protecting the border.
GREAT DETERRENCE HUH?...SNEAK over the border and maybe you too will become an Obama pal and be invited to one of his next events...
This all comes from not caring whether a presidential candidate is a natural born citizen and from not bothering about being a lawful Constitutional Republic. If nation is full of lawless and criminally-minded, there will only be more woe.
