Shocking! Could there be More Lies from Obama Admin.? - Border agents dispute claim that illegal immigrant tide is slowing

No Illegal Aliens from Mexico? Nooooooo!

 "It removes an issue from the election campaign, an issue on which the administration position is not popular; and it psychologically prepares the public for amnesty if the election results fall out favorably in November. Like: "Hey, if there are no longer any illegals coming in, why not give amnesty to the ones here?"
We're not totally at the mercy of the government numbers, though. There are cross-checks you can do. There are remittances, for instance: money sent back to Mexico by Mexicans living here. Other things being equal, if the numbers of illegals are static, so should remittances be. Well, they're not. Remittances are up eight percent on last year, according to the Bank of Mexico. That's in spite of a bad economy, mind.
You can also just get DHS employees to talk to you. Are they being told to turn a blind eye in certain sectors? To lay off apprehensions? To not patrol certain areas?
Reporter Sara Carter of the Washington Examiner has been doing the investigative work on all this, and you can read her conclusions in the May 14 posting on that site. Guess what: the Feds are lying through their teeth to us. The ICE and Border Patrol personnel say so, the remittance numbers say so, and, heck, we kind of knew it anyway, didn't we?"

Border agents dispute claim that illegal immigrant tide is slowing | Washington Examiner

The once red-hot issue of illegal immigration has cooled considerably in recent months, in large part because of studies like one from the Pew Hispanic Center that said the flood of people entering the U.S. from across the Mexican border has slowed, and that the number actually returning to Mexico from the U.S. has increased, reversing a decades-long trend.

But federal law enforcement agents on the border are skeptical that the illegal immigrant tide is slowing. And new information from the U.S. financial sector shows that more money is flowing from American cities to Mexico in the form of remittances from immigrants than last year.

Federal law enforcement officials interviewed by The Washington Examiner say security is being compromised as the government seeks to keep a lid on the border as a campaign issue during the presidential election cycle. Department of Homeland Security's Border Patrol agents and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are being told not to make arrests of noncriminal illegal immigrants, and not to patrol areas of high traffic along the roughly 2,000-mile Southwest border.

A Border Patrol official working along the Texas border said administration officials are deliberately failing to document what is actually happening on the border. "In many cases my supervisors make it clear that they don't want increased apprehension numbers, which means no arrests," he said.

The government is also failing to patrol hundreds of miles of federal wildlife reserves that fall under the jurisdiction of the Interior Department. ...
