“Obama” Goes Full-Out for Unconstitutional Amnesty: Will Anyone Stop Him?

By Nicholas Stix

A couple of days ago, my VDARE editor, Peter Brimelow, pointed out that the John Doe (my words, not his) calling himself “Barack Obama” was seeking to pull off an unconstitutional amnesty for all illegal aliens. Peter also pointed out that VDARE was the first blog to warn the public about “Obama’s” plan. If I’m not mistaken, that would be me, as I wrote a series of blog articles on January 26, February 21, and February 25, 2009.

I think I know the mope who has the White House under occupation better than any other writer, because I know genocidal black supremacism better than any other writer, and I write what I think.

I tried to find those articles at my blogs, but couldn’t. Either I posted them there later than at VDARE, or I plum forgot. Fortunately, with VDARE presently shut down for its big re-design, I was able to retrieve my articles via The Wayback Machine.

First, I am going to reprint an August 18, 2011 press release by Dan Stein’s outfit, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).

 
Administrative Amnesty for Illegal Aliens is a Blatant Usurpation of Congress's Constitutional Authority, Charges FAIR

(Washington, DC August 18, 2011) The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) responded sharply to today's White House announcement that it will essentially halt enforcement against illegal aliens who have not been convicted of criminal offenses. Today's move by the Obama administration amounts to an administrative amnesty and a sweeping overhaul of the nation's immigration policy without approval by Congress, charged FAIR. The announcement was posted on the White House website.

Under the guise of setting priorities for immigration enforcement, White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs Cecilia Munoz lays out entire classes of illegal aliens who will no longer be subject to enforcement. The plan entails dropping existing cases and taking "steps to keep low-priority cases out of the deportation pipeline in the first place," Munoz writes.

"Today's policy announcement clearly demonstrates the Obama administration's defiance of both the constitutional separation of powers and the will of the American public in its relentless effort to gain amnesty for illegal aliens," stated Dan Stein, president of FAIR. "From the outset, the administration has refused to enforce many immigration laws, essentially placing its own political agenda ahead of its constitutional responsibilities to carry out laws enacted by Congress. It has also acted aggressively to prevent state governments from implementing laws aimed at discouraging illegal immigration, including filing lawsuits against Arizona and Alabama.

"Supporters of comprehensive and targeted amnesties for illegal aliens have consistently failed to win approval by Congress or gain support from the American public," Stein noted. "Having failed in the legislative process, the Obama administration has simply decided to usurp Congress's constitutional authority and implement an amnesty program for millions of illegal aliens."

The announcement seemingly comes in response to growing demands from illegal alien advocates that the administration exercise broad discretionary powers not to enforce laws against entire classes of people who are in the country illegally. "In spite of repeated statements from President Obama himself that he lacks the constitutional authority to implement an amnesty by executive fiat, the administration is now doing precisely that," said Stein.

"This step by the White House amounts to a complete abrogation of the President's duty to enforce the laws of the land and a huge breach of the public trust. Never, in the history of federal immigration enforcement, has an administration willfully and so egregiously usurped Congress's and the people's role to decide immigration issues. In essence, the administration has declared that U.S. immigration is now virtually unlimited to anyone willing to try to enter and only those who commit violent felonies after arrival are subject to enforcement. This is not the nation's immigration law," concluded Stein.
