From Fox News: Union heads representing thousands of America's immigration agents
slammed the Obama administration Thursday over a policy they claim is
forcing officials to ignore the law and allowing illegal immigrants to
exploit the system.
In a startling allegation, the president of the union representing
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers claimed illegal immigrants
are "taking advantage" of a new directive allowing some undocumented
residents who came to the U.S. as children to stay in the country. Union
boss Chris Crane said the policy ends up allowing illegal immigrants to
avoid detention without any proof -- particularly so-called "dreamers,"
or those illegal immigrants who would benefit under the "DREAM Act"
proposal, which Congress has not passed but the administration has
partially implemented.
"Prosecutorial discretion for dreamers is solely based on the
individual's claims. Our orders are if an alien says they went to high
school, then let them go," he said at a press conference with GOP
senators. "Officers have been told that there is no burden for the alien
to prove anything. ... At this point we don't even know why DHS has
criteria at all, as there is no requirement or burden to prove anything
on the part of the alien.
"We believe that significant numbers of people who are not dreamers
are taking advantage of this practice to avoid arrest," he said.
