DREAM Act is policy without law
Janet Napolitano admitted to Congress that deporting students that would be protected by the DREAM is too resource-intensive for her agencies to enforce (Fox News link);
Questioned about DHS enforcement Tuesday at a Senate hearing on the DREAM Act, Napolitano confirmed that the department is not interested in deporting “DREAM Act students.”
“We have provided information about what it would take to do removal of everyone in the country. It’s obvious that those resources aren’t available, and when you’re talking about DREAM Act students, it really doesn’t make sense,” Napolitano said.
So it doesn’t make sense to enforce the law as it currently exists. Good attitude for a law enforcement officer.
Than as if she’s having an argument with herself, Napolitano continues;
At the same time, Napolitano denied that the recent ICE memo was being used to get around the failure of Congress to pass the DREAM Act. She said the administration’s enforcement of illegal immigration is “unparalleled,” but that federal officials are trying to make that enforcement as effective as possible.
Unparalleled in the sense that they’re not bothering to enforce the laws?
“We simply don’t see appropriations necessary in order to remove everyone who is technically removable from the United States, so we have to set priorities,” Napolitano said.
So, if millions of people started robbing banks, the FBI wouldn’t bother to investigate because of appropriations? If everyone started driving 70 mph through the streets of Washington, the MPD wouldn’t write them tickets? If every street corner had a drug dealer on it, no one would do anything about it?

That just follows the same guidelines that this administration has used since it was put in office with the NLRB, the EPA and DHS.
We can’t pass the laws so we’ll just do it anyway.
Or, in the case of laws already passed, we’ll just ignore them, claim they’re not legal, and refuse to defend said laws.
Obysmal already said that he’s all for illegals and their parents being allowed to stay, he’s just making sure that DHS is on the same page, and Incompetano is all too happy to be there with him.
Listening to Obumbler now. In a single word, amnesty.
Throw open the gates, folks.
Funny thing: for any particular location in the US, there’s the multitudenous Alphabets of Federal police agencies, state, county, municipality, and campus police.
So it’s not a lack of human resources.
For any particular location in the US, unless there’s been a crime committed requiring prosecution – it’s a quick detention and off on the bus to deportation.
So its not a lack of logistics resources.
Basically, Napolitano is lying, and the senators want her to lie, so they can go about their day.
So its a lack of testicular and breasticular fortitude.
“It’s obvious that those resources aren’t available, ”
Well, how about if we, the people, fire half your sorry worthless rights-infringing asses?
Would that free up enough “resources” to get the job done?
