We don’t need immigration reform; we simply need to start enforcing our existing laws. Which we’re not doing.
Via Town Hall:
Yesterday during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Capitol Hill, National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council 118 of the American Federation of Government Employees President Chris Crane testified that immigration reform isn’t about reform at all, but instead is about politics.
“Death or serious injury to ICE officers and agents appears more acceptable to ICE, DHS, and Administration leadership, than the public complaints that would be lodged by special interest groups representing illegal aliens,” Crane said.
Crane detailed the massive problems within the agency with enforcement, how illegal aliens lie to work the system, how illegal aliens will lie in order to be granted amnesty and explained how morale within the agency is at an all time low.
“The results from the most recent morale survey for Federal agents were released in December 2012. ICE Dropped in the rankings to 279 out of 291 Federal agencies surveyed leaving only 12 agencies that ranked lower in employee morale and job satisfaction than ICE,” Crane said. “While ICE employees are frequently demonized by special interest groups and media outlets, it should be known that many ICE employees are themselves the sons and daughters of immigrants of grandsons and granddaughters of immigrants; or are married to immigrants, or are the proud parents of adopted babies born outside the U.S. For many of our officers, English was not their first language, or they grew up in a bilingual household…..ICE agents are not monsters as some would portray them.”
Crane also explained the erosion of the rule of law thanks to special interest groups representing and advocating on behalf of illegal immigrants while agents are often punished for simply enforcing the law. Crane even went so far as to suggest law enforcement has been turned into a joke.

That is a directive for any Fed/State Criminal Justice agency Robbie. I am a probation officer with Cook County IL. We have an explicit policy not to notify ICE about immigration status of defendants and are only to follow up on a warrant with immigration specs or when contacted directly by ICE.
Some of these defendants are even under deportation proceedings that stretch for as long as they may be on probation, sometimes for very a very serious crime, and ICE still does not act.
So not even criminality by illegals matters to the democratic leadership.
Regarding the visa issue – penalty money is a big cash-cow for the Feds. I think that is the reason for lack of enforcement.
