Three years ago, the Justice Department assured the Supreme Court that although it sometimes deported immigrants while they were challenging unfavorable court decisions, it would bring those people back to the United States if they won on appeal. That was U.S. policy, the department asserted. The justices relied on that statement in deciding that immigrants would not suffer irreparable h arm if they were forced to leave the country while still appealing their cases.
Now it turns out, according to U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, that the government’s assertion may have been false. In fact, it may be that those who are wrongfully deported stand little chance of returning.
That has come out only because the Immigrant Rights Clinic at New York University challenged the government’s statement after the fact. The clinic filed a Freedom of Information Act request seeking more information about the policy. But the government has refused to release much, and what has come out doesn’t support the assertion that such a policy exists. Indeed, in one email that was released, a federal official wrote: “As I always tell people at parties who ask for immigration advice, ‘I know how to kick people out, but not how to get them in.’”
The government’s response so far has been inadequate. If the solicitor general makes a factual representation to the Supreme Court, the public should be able to verify it. The details are particularly important in this case because if the policy is shrouded in secrecy, how is an immigrant to make sure that the rules apply to him or her? Consider the case of David Gerbier, who was deporte d to Haiti in 2002 but later won his appeal. He spent eight years unable to return because federal officials rebuffed his requests. He rejoined his family in the U.S. only after the NYU clinic took his case.
The government should come clean. If it has no policy for returning the wrongfully deported, it should adopt new rules that do what it told the Supreme Court it was already doing. What it can’t do is continue to exact punishment first and worry about miscarriages of justice later.
Los Angeles Times (Feb. 13)
The American people, namely ‘ the
increasing fathomless numbers of THE TEA PARTY” must unseat all
radical Politicians, Governors, mayors, judges police chiefs and
every elected official, city manager and councilman who are anti-sovereignty
and pamper illegal aliens with taxpayer dollars. Their oaths of allegiance are
meaningless to them as they have shown by their pro-illegal immigration
agenda’s. Antonio Villaraigosa, Los Angeles county mayor, the way he demonizes
pro-sovereignty, anti-illegal alien activists should be one of the first to be
recalled, as he answers to a government south of our border? Both political parties have been complicit in
the flood of illegal migrants and immigrants that is estimated to be well over
20 million, not the numbers calculated by the US census bureau? Our only chance
of stopping this scattering pestilence is to support the business mandatory
E-Verify program and the Birthright citizenship Act that must be introduced in
Congress right now.
Frank Sharry, Founder and Director of pro-amnesty group America’s Voice and
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Tex.) went was caught up in a
verbal confrontation in The Huffington Post. Sharry calls Chairman
Smith’s mandatory E-verify bill “anti-immigrant legislation” and
“unworkable and expensive bureaucracy.” Sharry claims the bill would
“grant the federal government the authority to approve or disapprove every
new hire in America.” That is how
it should be, and rejection from being hired. A relatively simple solution that
guarantees foreigners begin Mitt Romney’s ‘self-deportation’ antidote, better
known as Attrition through Enforcement. Of
Course Sharry doesn’t individualize between a legal immigrant and illegal
immigrant as it should be acknowledged or the Liberal media.
Rep. Smith defended E-Verify by
saying the web-based program “quickly identifies illegal workers and
protects jobs for citizens by checking Social Security numbers and ID of newly
hired employees” and describes E-Verify as “free, quick and easy to
use.”
Rep. Smith cites a Rasmussen poll
which found that 82% of likely voters think all businesses should be required
to use E-Verify. Sharry, this open border individual and is now so frustrated
and angry that millions of businesses have chosen to use E-Verify–both
voluntary and state mandatory, that this far left progressive is reduced
to name calling.
Sen. Lamar Smith’s E-Verify, “The
Legal Workforce Act” is just tipping the scales and only needs a little more momentum
from American voters to get this bill into Congress. The potential law has 74
co-sponsors and needs a final push of only 26 more lawmakers with a backbone;
four of the co-sponsors are Democrats.
Join the TEA PARTY, as the refugees
from every other delusional political voter and vote a Tea Party senate
and house into office, displacing all those politicians and elected officers
who protect illegal migrants and immigrants and betrayed the lawful U.S.
Populace. These old party agenda is profit, votes and exploitation, and are in
collusion with churches, unions, foreign governments and radical organizations
and special interest groups. Illegal immigration has been forced on taxpayers
through ‘UNFUNDED MANDATES’. These acts include free health care, free
schooling, and has attributed to the loss of safety-net for Americans; coerced
on citizens and lawful residents by liberal influenced courts.
Frosty Wooldridge said in his latest article:
Every indicator that our country is failing shows up daily
with 15 million unemployed, 7 million underemployed, 46 million Americans
subsisting on food stamps, $700 billion annual trade deficit, $15 trillion
national debt, endless wars that cost $15 billion monthly and thousands of kids
dropping out of high school daily. I have said it before: illiteracy defines a
third world country. With 42 million functionally illiterate Americans, we are
well on our way. Nonetheless, Congress pumps over 125,000 immigrants into this
country every 30 days. I am beyond exasperated as to why and how we can do this
to our country.

government is defying the U. S. Constitution and the laws that govern us. Investigate even more the terrible penalty
our nation pays, for unending spending on foreign nationals by
Googling—“AMERICAN PATROL.” Seek out your politician either by phone
at 202-224-3121, or go their office in person. Proclaim to them they are–OUT–if
they vote for any kind of AMNESTY, disguised as Comprehensive Immigration
Reform. Remember–this is not about any racial make-up, nationality
or color, its strictly about illegal immigration, that America cannot
afford any more. Even if your from Europe, the Pacific rim, Africa,
Canada or any South American country; if you illegal, they should be
detained and deported.
When the States of Arizona, Alabama,
Georgia, Utah, Indiana and South Carolina is being financially crippled by the
illegal alien invaders, it is undeniable that something smells of government
corruption. These states have spoken out on behalf of their taxpayers,
especially the border state of Arizona. Using fake ID, of exceptionally good
quality unlawful nationals are able to qualify for food stamps, WICC and other
public assistance programs. It is way past time that many incompetent
administrations stopped this fraud? The only possible way is to issue every
eligible US citizen and others able to qualify a National ID card, which can be
substantiated?
Our Social Security numbers and
other documentation has been compromised, as seen in the overwhelming amount of
victims that is unceasing spreading across our nation.
Important: Voter fraud does exist and our only chance of fair and impartial
elections, from now until the November Presidential is every citizen show
official Identification. Non citizens have been registered to vote and will
again in all electoral cycles, which could cause major issues in a close vote.
Fake ID has been around for years, but is more prevalent now than ever before?
