Saying theyâre fed up with being told they canât do their jobs, 10 immigration agents on Thursday sued the Obama administration to try to halt the presidentâs new non-deportation policy and an earlier memo instructing them not to go after rank-and-file illegal immigrants. The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Texas, adds a legal controversy to the political fight that has been brewing over President Obamaâs immigration policies, which have steadily narrowed the range of immigrants the government is targeting for deportation. The 10 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and deportation officers said Mr. Obamaâs policies force them to choose between enforcing the law and being reprimanded by superiors, or listening to superiors and violating their own oaths of office and a 1996 law that requires them to put those who entered the country illegally into deportation proceedings. Upping the ante, the agents are being represented by a high-profile lawyer, Kris W. Kobach, secretary of state in Kansas and the chief promoter of state immigration crackdowns such as Arizonaâs tough law. âICE is at a point now where agents are being told to break federal law, theyâre pretty much told that any illegal alien under age of 31 is going to be let go. You can imagine, these law enforcement officers are being put in a horrible position,â Mr. Kobach said. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/aug/23/immigration-agents-sue-stop-obamas-non-deportation/
Border Patrol Agents Taught to "Run Away" and "Hide" http://www.local2544.org/ In another nauseating series of "Virtual Learning Center" brainwashing courses that Border Patrol agents are forced to sit behind a computer for hours and endure, we are now taught in an "Active Shooter" course that if we encounter a shooter in a public place we are to "run away" and "hide". If we are cornered by such a shooter we are to (only as a last resort) become "aggressive" and "throw things" at him or her. We are then advised to "call law enforcement" and wait for their arrival (presumably, while more innocent victims are slaughtered). Shooting incidents cited in the course are Columbine, the Giffords shooting and the Virginia Tech shooting. These types of mandatory brainwashing courses and the idiocy that accompanies them are simply stunning when they are force-fed to law enforcement officers. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that any three of the above shootings would have been stopped cold by an off-duty law enforcement officer or a law abiding citizen with a gun. The Fort Hood shooting would have been stopped cold by someone with a gun as well. The shooters in these situations depend on unarmed and scared victims. It gives them the power they seek. We could go on and on with examples of shootings that could have been stopped by someone with a firearm. One of the videos in this course actually shows a terrified female hiding behind a desk as an example of how to "hide" from some deranged shooter. Multiple quizzes throughout the course and a final test ensure repeatedly that we know that we only have three options when encountering some murderous thug in a public place. 1. Run away; 2. Hide; and 3. Only put up a fight as a last resort by acting aggressively and throwing things at the shooter. Not one mention anywhere of "if you are carrying a gun and you have the opportunity take the shooter out". Calling 911 in these instances is obvious, but we all know that waiting on the arrival of uniformed law enforcement will ensure more people are killed, injured, or taken hostage. Telling law enforcement officers that in all instances they are to run away and hide from some thug while innocent victims are butchered is simply inexcusable and pathetic. It is always comforting to know that for those of us who carry a weapon when we are off-duty, if we should encounter such a situation, stop a shooter and save countless lives, we can look forward to being disciplined or fired by the Border Patrol because we should have run away to hide and then maybe thrown objects at the deranged killer instead of taking action and stopping him with a firearm. This, in addition to the scrutiny and second-guessing that will come from local authorities and the inevitable possibility of lawsuits and criminal conviction.

Immigration Officials Describe Border Chaos Resulting From Admin's Amnesty Policy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb2_3R6oHSQ Border Patrol and Ice Officials now ordered by the Obama administration to release any illegal alien (including those charged with crimes of violence) who claims to have attended high school in the US -- no proof required.
Obama's Executive order is illegal. It will be interesting if the court sees it that way or even issues an injuction.
Think about all the terrorists, sympathizers and WMD's that flowed over that unprotected border for the past 11 years? DHS is up in everyones shit, Janet's groping our children at airports and bus stations, but they refuse to shut the border down? This is what treason is, folks. Obama, DHS and AG are straight-up criminals.
You will know a tree by its fruit? There have been 2,527 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees and co-conspirators convicted of corruption and other criminal misconduct since 2004, according to a federal auditor. http://cnsnews.com/news/article/fed...mployees-and-co-conspirators-convicted-crimes
Who said it's one or the other? I've said it a million times on here illegals should be deported, not just a security risk. But clearly, the real problem is the Federal Government. They are more a threat to the security of America because they fail to enforce the protections and laws they swore to uphold, endangering us all.
