Obama Administration Unilaterally Guts Immigration Laws

The Obama administration has systematically gutted our immigration laws.  On Christmas Eve, when no one was watching, the thugs at ICE discontinued a federal/State/local program that cracked down on this illegal alien invasion.

(CNSNews.com) - Amid Hispanic calls for immigration leniency, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency is scrapping a program that allowed specially trained state and local law enforcement officers to enforce federal immigration law.

On Dec. 21, the Friday before Christmas, ICE announced that it has decided "not to renew any of its agreements with state and local law enforcement agencies that operate task forces under the 287(g) program."

ICE said it has concluded that "other enforcement programs, including Secure Communities, are a more efficient use of resources for focusing on priority cases."

Under Secure Communities, the federal officials -- not state or local law enforcement officers -- decide what immigration enforcement action, if any, is appropriate.

The Obama administration in 2009 weakened the 287(g) program by directing state and local police not to arrest many of the illegal immigrants with whom they came into contact.

Not only has the Obama administration rendered the States impotent to protect their citizens, they're also harassing local authorities who used this program to crackdown on this violation of our laws and sovereignty.  A North Carolina, Alamance County Sheriff is under investigation for specious charges of “human rights” violations by the U.S. Justice Department:

The Justice Department’s lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Greensboro. It seeks a complete overhaul of the culture and policies of the Alamance County Sheriff’s Office.

Among other things, the Justice Department said that Johnson has told deputies to “go out there and get me some of those taco eaters.” It said his office targets Latinos for traffic violations, pulling them over four to 10 times more often than non-Latinos.

The Justice Department has said it interviewed more than 125 people in its investigation.

But Johnson, through spokesman Randy Jones, said the Justice Department won’t name those people.

“We still don’t know who is alleging anything,” Jones said. “There’s no dates, times or locations.”

Jones also said the sheriff’s office believes the Justice Department focused its traffic-stop analysis on predominantly Latino parts of the county, skewing the figures. The lawsuit says the agency it picked highways “based on the high number of citations” the sheriff’s office issued on those roads.

Will somebody please remind me who our enemy is?  I’m having a hard time distinguishing what is what.
