Homeland Security Chief Opts to Make Homeland Less Secure

No surprise at all:

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has delayed a series of proposed immigration raids and other enforcement actions at U.S. workplaces in recent weeks, asking agents in her department to apply more scrutiny to the selection and investigation of targets as well as the timing of raids, federal officials said.

A senior department official said the delays signal a pending change in whom agents at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement choose to prosecute — increasing the focus on businesses and executives instead of ordinary workers.

“ICE is now scrutinizing these cases more thoroughly to ensure that [targets] are being taken down when they should be taken down, and that the employer is being targeted and the surveillance and the investigation is being done how it should be done,” said the official, discussing Napolitano’s views about sensitive law enforcement matters on the condition of anonymity.

And, of course, allowing the cases to be tied up in courts as business owners have legal teams to dispute ICE actions…meanwhile, the actual law breakers – the illegal immigrants – are essentially let off the hook, thereby ensuring that the human smuggling operations across our borders not only continue, but increase…with, naturally, the inherent risk that it won’t be just maids and drywallers coming across, but also the odd terrorist or two, or fifty.

Short of trying to deport all 12 million or so illegals in country, the best means of striking illegal immigration is to go after the illegals actually at work in America – remember, the reason they come here is to make money to send back home; if we continually disrupt what they are here to do, they will become progressively less likely to come across…and this, in turn, will de-fund the gangs causing Mexico all sorts of trouble as well as forcing the Mexican government to deal with the root cause of illegal immigration: Mexico’s horrifically corrupt and massively discriminatory economy which freezes out Mexican’s or all or mostly Indian descent.

But, of course, to take action against illegals is something the race-baiters in American cannot tolerate. The mere thought that America might gain control of its borders sends them into a foaming-at-the-mouth rage. And, of course, they donate heavily to the Democrat party, and now its time for the Democrat party to pay up for the campaign cash. So, keep that in mind, boys and girls: illegal immigration will continue and America will be less secure because Obama needed campaign cash last year.

This is a fine thing – if you are a liberal elite who lives a highly sheltered life and are extraordinarily unlikely to suffer any consequences of illegal immigration. For everyone else, its a bit of a raw deal – and the rawest deal is that given to the illegals, who will continue to be triply exploited – by the Mexican government which sends them north to earn foreign exchange for Mexico; by the gangs which have sealed tight the northern border of Mexico in order to control – and charge – the human cargo coming north (and, by the way, showing that the border can be secured, if one wishes to do it); and, finally, by rich Americans who neither care about native and legal-immigrant workers, nor about the illegal workers…all that matters is high profits, low costs and cheap domestic servants.
