By Todd Starnes Morale among Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents is at an all-time low more than a month after the Obama administration announced major changes to the nationâs immigration enforcement policy, according to the head of a national agency representing thousands of agents. âMorale is in the toilet right now,â said Chris Crane, president of the National ICE Council. âMost of the guys out in the field are just in an uproar.â President Obamaâs policy allows the federal government to use âprosecutorial discretionâ to allow younger illegal immigrants to stay in the country and get work permits. Critics called it backdoor amnesty, but the administration said it stops short of granting illegals citizenship. âThey call it discretion but itâs not our discretion,â Crane told Fox News. âWe have no discretion.â Crane said a case involving a veteran ICE agent is a perfect illustration. The agent arrested an illegal who was not a âprimary target.â The agentâs superior officers ordered the illegal released â even though he did not meet the criteria listed by the Dept. of Homeland Security. The officer refused to follow orders and is now facing a three day suspension. The 35-year-old illegal immigrant with ten traffic violations was released. He pointed to another case in El Paso where an illegal immigrant injured an ICE agent during an attempted escape. Again, Crane said, because the individual was not a priority target, he was released without any charges being filed. An ICE spokesman did not return calls for comment. âTheyâve got their heads down,â Crane said, referring to ICE agents. âWe feel like the administration is against us and not the people who are violating our laws.â According to a survey conducted by bestplacestowork.org, ICE is ranked 222 out of 240 with a workplace score of 52.5. Crane said he is not surprised. âWe canât do anything anymore under these new guidelines,â he said. http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/ice-agents-morale-is-in-the-toilet.html

Or a president who thinks he can make his own laws. You would think he would honor the Constitution and the roll of the presidency having been a Constitutional Reader (he's certainly not a scholar).
The Obama regime is lawless and rogue and has totally ignored the constitution and our laws. Imagine what they will do when they don't have to worry about winning another election. The next four years will be a dictatorship. Romney may be a lousy candidate but he will respect the law and adhere to the constitution. It and will be infinitely better than another 4 years of illegal executive mandates by Barrack Obama. I've never seen a President behave so imperiously. He is a thug and a lying sack of shit.
