Obama Admin is Already Granting Amnesty to Illegals
The
Washington Times reports that the Obama administration is already granting
amnesty to illegal immigrants and canceling deportations. From the looks of
things, this has been in the works for quite some time. So much for the rule of
law.

Federal immigration authorities have begun granting tentative legal status to
illegal immigrants under President Obama’s deportation halt — and in some cases
are even ignoring the administration’s eligibility rules to stop deportations
for those who shouldn’t qualify, according to the chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee.
Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican, said he’s learned some illegal immigrants who have been in the U.S. less than five years have had their deportations canceled, even though Mr. Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet A. Napolitano had listed the five-year mark as one of their criteria.
Mr. Smith also obtained documents laying out how U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) officers should actively search for illegal immigrants who are “apparently eligible” to have their cases dropped. Those illegal immigrants then would be granted tentative status.
“President Obama is granting amnesty to illegal immigrants behind Americans’ backs,” Mr. Smith said. “Although administration officials told congressional offices that it would take 60 days to implement the president’s amnesty plan, internal ICE documents show that illegal immigrants have already benefited from it, even though there are no standards in place.”
