Confirmed: Obama Dropping Deportation Cases

Report confirms what was being reported in the Houston Chronicle.

PHOENIX – A shake-up in immigration policy may lead to deportation proceedings being dropped for thousands of aliens who entered the United States illegally but are applying to stay in the country, officials said on Friday.

The policy shift emerged from an internal memorandum ICE Assistant Secretary John Morton sent last week to the agency's principal legal adviser and a director of enforcement and removal operations.

The memo was published by the New York Times on Friday and confirmed to Reuters by officials.

Feds Moving to Dismiss Deportation Cases

From the Houston Chronicle: The Department of Homeland Security is systematically reviewing thousands of pending immigration cases and moving to dismiss those filed against suspected illegal immigrants...Richard Rocha, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman, said Tuesday that the review is part of the agency's broader, nationwide strategy to prioritize the deportations of illegal immigrants who pose a threat to national security and public safety. Rocha declined to provide further details.

"Beat Whitey Night"???

Sounds like it time for another teachable moment over a beer for President Obama.

Saying "I Told You So" Just Doesn't Make Me Feel Better

Michael Bennet, D-Colo,at a town hall meeting in Greeley last Saturday, Aug 21 said we had nothing to show for the debt incurred by the stimulus package and other expenditures calling the recession the worst since the Great Depression. “We have managed to acquire $13 trillion of debt on our balance sheet, in my view we have nothing to show for it.”

Obama's Islamic Stimulus?

First NASA, now this. Obama is funding another Islamic "cultural outreach" program.

From FOX News: This year, the Obama administration will spend nearly $6 million to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including mosques and minarets, in 55 nations, according to State Department documents.

That Sinking Feeling

Democrats and the Obama administration continue to speak with great optimism. Vice President Joe Biden recently predicted that the economy was rebounding and would soon be creating 250,000 to 500,000 new jobs a month (the economy shed another 12,000 jobs last month). Obama continues to point blame to the mess created by Bush's war.

However if you do the math, as the Washing Examiner recently did, Obama's stimulus bill cost more then Bush's war. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported the cost of the war at $709 Billion. The first two years of Obama's stimulus bill will cost more then the 6 years of the Iraq war during the Bush administration

The just reported July home sales fell 27.7%. The main stream media the did more research on what Sarah Palin was throwing into her trash then what Obama's actual qualifications/accomplishments were that might qualify him to hold the most important position in the word, is finally starting to drop words like "unexpected" when reporting bad economic news.

From ABC News: "Economic growth is going to drop rapidly for the rest of the year and the Recovery Act is going to add zero".

And from AOL News: "If Washington seems out of ideas on how to get the private-sector jobs machine running again, there's a pretty straightforward reason -- the people in government have virtually no experience in business. In a major departure from prior administrations, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in the current administration with any real business experience."

President Obama has stated that he wasn't concerned about being re-elected. I'd say that's a good thing. I'm looking forward to seeing him playing a lot of golf after 2012.

Arrest at Houston Airport

"Officers said they then found the brass knuckles, as well as several books and diagrams in his carry-on luggage, including one book titled, "New Voices of Islam," and another espionage publication called "Spycraft."

Officers said many of the books were written in Arabic, but they did notice English publications that refer to "jihad" and "infidels." They also found diagrams that purport to describe U.S. military weaponry, according to law enforcement officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity."

In addition to the publications, thumb drive, and the brass knuckles confiscated by police, investigators said that Kumar had a large amount of cash that had not been declared to Customs officials as part of his travel."

Investigators said that Kumar claimed he was in Houston for some sort of "Islamic seminar."
