On June 11, 2010, the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council and its constituent local representatives from around the nation, acting on behalf of approximately 7,000 ICE officers and employees from the ICE Office of Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), cast a unanimous “Vote of No Confidence” in the Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), John Morton, and the Assistant Director of the ICE Office of Detention Policy and Planning, (ODPP), Phyllis Coven.
And WHY are they reacting in such an unprecedented manner?
Because the leadership has abandoned the core mission of enforcing US Immigration Laws in favor of programs and policies having to do with ....... amnesty.
I guess that crazy rumor was true, that obama is going to try and take the back door for amnesty.
2007: Within the ranks, many believe the only way to reduce illegal immigration is to crack down on employers. [Union President T.J.] Bonner, Pierce and others blame Aguilar for promoting legalization and guest worker programs. Also, they also accuse him of insufficiently defending his agents. Agents are quitting at an increased clip, Bonner said, with attrition at 12 percent this year, up from 4 percent a year ago. “I’ve been an agent for 29 years now, and I’ve never seen morale lower,” he said.
I am a Special Agent of ICE (Customs) with [more than two decades] on the job and I feel their [Border Patrol agents'] frustration and anger with the Bush Aministration and the folks who ran the last Congress for pushing the amnesty agenda. We passed the 1986 amnesty bill for illegals and what have we gotten? Yet another tidal wave of illegals coming to this country in search of low wage jobs, free education, free medical care, free public asssitance and freedom to demand that they not be prosecuted for their illegal entry.
The Govt. wont even enforce laws on the books to prosecute employers of illegals. We can use the past to determine how any new laws will be enforced.

2009 saw the most deportations and voluntary departures in US history. I guess the "Great One" told them to throw more people out?
oh piffle. In the overall scheme of things, it is just a drop in the bucket.......a mere smokescreen. Most were back across the border by midnight of the same day anyway.
