"Self Deportation" = FAILED Immigration Enforcement
Written by on November 05, 2010, 07:58 PM
“An illegal immigrant should still be in Colorado awaiting trial. Instead, he was escorted to the Mexican border and set free.” Yes, that’s right, he was not only set free; he was set free by ICE!
In Wheatridge, Colorado, Damacio Torres-Ochoa, an illegal alien, attempted to rob 81-year old Joseph Wallace. Instead of standing trial (like any U.S. citizen would have to do), ICE apparently decided Torres-Ochoa was above U.S. law so they allowed him to “self deport” rather than standing trial and being brought to justice.
“Self deporting,” by the way, is a fancy term that means ICE officers flew Torres-Ochoa to El Paso, Texas and then walked him across the border and into Mexico. This instance exemplifies the indescribable and shocking stupidity, incompetence, and sheer indifference of the federal government and the ICE.
The story gets even worse. As Torres-Ochoa and an accomplice were in the process of stealing Wallace’s trailer, Wallace shot at the two men and hit the accomplice. While Torres-Ocho was allowed to “self deport,” Wallace, who was only trying to keep his trailer and protect his property, was charged with “attempted reckless manslaughter”; he is now a felon!
How can we possibly feel proud to live in a nation where this elderly man who was the victim of a robbery gets charged and convicted with serious crimes, while ICE officials charter a plane and escort the illegal alien who robbed him across the border to freedom?
This is an outrage; it is time to stop treating illegal aliens as though they are above our laws and it is absolutely time to start enforcing immigration laws. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Torres-Ocho will have no problem re-entering the United States whenever he pleases. As the Jefferson County District Attorney points out, “I guarantee you, they don’t stay across the border. They come back under a different identification”; looks like it is the land for new beginnings and opportunity for illegals but not for anyone else.
“U.S. Immigration Laws Fail Again.” How many times are statements like this going to frequent the headlines until the Obama administration steps up and does anything to enforce our immigration laws? How many times must we be subjected to headlines like this before Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano, stops claiming that we are “safer than we have ever been?” Join B.A.N., the nonprofit that fiercely stands up to the federal government and demands enforcement of our immigration laws as well as an end to amnesty!

When federal agents raided a chain of Chuy’s Restaurants across Arizona and California, more than 40 illegal aliens were arrested, along with several of the chain’s top executives were arrested, including the father-and-son owners and their accountant. Yes, LA RAZA & CO will scream and moan, but the illegal aliens apprehended here, aren't the victims. Neither are the business owners accused of breaking the law. The real victims are the legal employees whose jobs will be lost because their employer refused to obey the law.

With just one signature, Gov. Brewer can change the American political landscape.
HB 2177 has already passed the Arizona State House and State Senate. The legislation would require candidates for the highest office in the land to prove their qualifications.
Among those qualifications, candidates for United States President must have been born in the United States – or at least on a military base near the Panama Canal, in Sen. John McCain’s case.

Illegal immigrants leave when laws are enforced.
The Migration Policy Institute report cited in the article found that consistent enforcement leads illegal immigrants to leave the United States voluntarily. This counters arguments that amnesty is the way to solve illegal immigration.

"Any honest assessment on 9/11 this year, ten years after the attacks, I think will have to conclude we are slowly losing the war," Gingrich said. "We are losing the war because madrasas are out there teaching hatred, we're losing the war because the network of terror is bigger, not smaller... We're losing the war because there's a real possibility that in a few weeks, unfortunately, Egypt will join Iran and join Lebanon and join Gaza and join the things that are happening that are extraordinarily dangerous.

The Department of Homeland Security is designed to keep our borders strong, our country safe, and to enforce our immigration laws. Under Obama and Janet Napolitano, however, the DHS is not guided by any of these key values, but rather, by their own self-serving agenda... regardless of how unfair that agenda is to U.S. citizens. Recently, Napolitano actually went so far as to claim that Congress must pass the DREAM Act because the DREAM Act will make our borders stronger and will allow DHS to "do its job of enforcing the nation's immigration law."
