Immigration courtrooms silent during ICE review

Media more interested in pushing amnesty than the facts on illegal immigration

From the Desk of:

Media Research Center

Millions of Americans are unemployed.  State and local governments are under tremendous financial pressure, much of which is caused by having to provide hundreds of billions of dollars in benefits to illegal immigrants and their families.  The Obama Administration is slashing funding for border enforcement,  and instead of covering this outrage and the financial burden caused by illegal immigration, the liberal media prefer to generate sympathy for those that are breaking the law.

• CBS Evening News featured a report on Alabama’s tough new immigration law.  The reported centered around a family that has been here illegally for 13 years.  The piece portrayed them as living in fear, but brave enough to stay an fight an unjust law. (NewsBusters.org 11/24)
• NBC Evening News’ Brian Williams and Kate Snow reported on Alabama’s new immigration law, brazenly comparing it to segregationist laws of the past with Snow stating, “They feel like Alabama blacks of the Jim Crow era.” (NewsBusters.org 11/15)
• NPR ran a report from a pro-amnesty rally, comparing illegal immigrants being made to follow U.S. laws with victims of a civil rights era bombing in the 1960s. (NewsBusters.org 11/22)
• MSNBC contributor Melissa Harris-Perry took the week of Thanksgiving to make the on-air declaration that the Pilgrims were illegal immigrants. (NewsBusters.org 11/26)

The liberal media have clearly chosen sides in the immigration debate and the rule of law doesn’t matter to them.

+  +  As the liberal media are pushing amnesty, they’re mum on the work of their friends in the Obama Administration dismantling what little border enforcement is in place.

MRC’s CNSNews.com reported this morning that the Obama administration has slashed spending on border fencing, infrastructure and technology, cutting it by more than half since it peaked under President George W. Bush in fiscal 2008.  This leaves 1,300 miles on the US-Mexico border unfenced. As commander in chief it is President Obama’s responsibility to secure our border; he’s not doing it and the media are happy to ignore that fact.

The Obama Administration has increased annual spending by almost $1 Trillion since 2008, yet they’ve chosen to cut spending on border fencing by 56%.

As the topic of illegal immigration becomes a top news story due to the Republican primary debates, new laws passed, and the costs of illegals at all levels of government, the liberal media are ignoring this bombshell story.

Click here to read CNSNews.com’s full report on this frightening abandoment of one of the core responsibilities of the federal government – protecting our borders!

Stretching back decades, the liberal media have distorted the costs, crimes and dangers associated with massive illegal immigration.

Bachmann: Deport all 11 million illegal immigrants, in steps

Intent on drawing a clear contrast between rival Newt Gingrich and herself, presidential candidate Michele Bachmann called for 11 million illegal immigrants to be deported from the United States in steps.

In the week since a GOP debate during which Gingrich supported legalizing some undocumented immigrants, Bachmann has pounded the former House Speaker, likening his position to “amnesty” and circulating a letter he co-authored in 2004 that supported a path for worker legalization.

Asked by radio host Laura Ingraham on Monday about an earlier statement she made differentiating between immigrants who had recently entered the country illegally from those with longstanding ties to the United States, Bachmann said she was never referring to legalization.

“What I’m talking about is the order of deportation, the sequence of deportation,” Bachmann replied. “It is almost impossible to move 11 million illegal immigrants overnight. You do it in steps.”

Bachmann said deporting those convicted of crimes would be the first step.

She also said that while she hadn’t seen any polls detailing her level of support among Hispanic voters, she believes they are seeking the same answers from government as everyone else: a chance to pursue a prosperous life.

That doesn’t include extending government benefits such as in-state tuition to illegal immigrants, Bachmann contended, this time pushing back on another of her competitors, Gov. Rick Perry, who has upheld that policy in Texas.

“When we give the welfare state, then people won’t be able to come out of it. It’s the biggest trap that people can have,” she said.

Santa Fe, NM Resident Wants To Know Why Sanctuary Status Isn’t On The Ballot

It is very sad that the people were not alerted about this descison to make our cities a sanctuary for illegal immigrants.

We have to comply with all county, state and federal laws. Why are our taxes used to house them and give them EBT cards and medicaid? 

Why? Because the powers that be want to take this country down and we are being colonized; paying a deep price for our freedom. It is time to start a radical opposition.

The proper term is “illegal alien” not immigrant

On the pages listing cities/states providing sanctuary, you say "sanctuary to illegal immigrants".  The proper term is "illegal alien" not immigrant.  Hopefully, you will correct your terminology.

Going round and round with my politicians regarding sanctuary cities and illegal immigrants

I have been going round and round with my politicians regarding sanctuary cities and illegal immigrants. Diane Feinstien points to the Local and State Government that is their issue.  My assemblyman says I need to get the majority leader involved because he is terming out.
Do you have plan of action to stop these sanctuary cities?
I would love to help. I am a pushy, pushy, woman and very good at it.
Sincerely, Eva K.

Illegals Impact Georgia Business

Received an email from someone that I will let remain anonymous:

“I have been in business in the Forsyth Com, Ga area for 33yrs. Now days I am losing 3 of 5 bids on local jobs to contractors using illegal labor. I am looking for a way to stop these people before I lose everything I have worked for all these years.”

The one sure way to eliminate illegal workers is to not give them jobs. They will quit breaking the law and coming into the US if they weren’t able to find a way to stay here. Illegal immigrants are a tremendous burden to our economy, both directly and indirectly.

You can do your part by asking the businesses you deal with if they use illegal immigrant workers. Recently I heard a story about a person who was going to shingle their house ask those bidding on the project if they used illegals or not. In this part of the country the work is primarily done by illegals. The bid was given to the person insuring a legal crew, although the person paid more to get that insurance.

Insist on legal workers and the unemployment problem will go away and the burden on our economy. This will help those in Georgia as well as everyone else here legally.

Thanks for your mail!

Arrests of Immigrants With Criminal Records on the Rise

AP – Tuesday, November 03, 2009

LOS ANGELES — Immigration agents assigned to track down people who have ignored deportation orders have increasingly arrested immigrants with criminal records during the past year, new data show.

Data from Immigration and Customs Enforcement show a shift from the prior three years, when more than 70 percent of immigrants arrested by fugitive operations teams had no criminal histories.

About 45 percent of the 35,000 immigrants arrested by the teams during the 2009 fiscal year had criminal convictions. The figure is up from 23 percent during the prior year.

ICE has long claimed it focused on arresting immigrants with criminal convictions who ignored orders from immigration judges to leave the country.

But most people arrested had no criminal histories, which prompted outcries from immigrant rights groups.

ICE director John Morton said earlier this year the agency would focus on finding immigrants with criminal records or who have ignored deportation orders. However, he said other illegal immigrants would be arrested if they were present during the operations,

“The goal is to prevent crime rather than simply to respond to it,” ICE spokesman Brandon Alvarez-Montgomery said.

One reason for the change is that agents are working more closely with local law enforcement to develop leads, ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said.

Immigrants rights advocates were skeptical of the numbers and wondered whether the data marked a real change in a program they have long criticized as a source of fear in immigrant neighborhoods.

It’s unclear whether the Obama administration has shifted the program’s focus or whether agents in some regions have just been more successful at finding criminals, said Carl Bergquist, policy advocate for the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.

“I think the jury is still out,” added Paromita Shah, associate director of the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild.

Earlier this year, Morton also announced the fugitive teams had stopped using arrest quotas.

Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, said agents should have discretion about who they arrest, given what he considers the daunting task of finding more than 500,000 immigrants who have evaded deportation orders.

“They’ve got to start somewhere, and they look for people obviously that have national security issues as well as serious criminals,” said Krikorian, whose organization favors stricter limits on immigration.

“As long as they’re not sending the message that other illegal aliens will simply be let go, then I don’t have a problem with it.” he said.
