Center For Immigration Studies Unveils Interactive Map of Immigrant Removals By County

Breitbart;

by CAROLINE MAY6 May 201512

An interactive map from the Center for Immigration Studies details the locations and concentrations of immigrants removed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement from October 2008 through February 2015 as part of the Secure Communities program.

In that time frame ICE removed 406,441 people after they were identified through the Secure Communities program, according to CIS. The program was discontinued and replaced with the Priority Enforcement Program as part of President Obama’s November 20, 2014 executive amnesty.

The interactive map, created by CIS experts Jessica Vaughan and Byran Griffith and released Wednesday, reveals the counties with the most removals were Los Angeles County, CA with 35,750 removals, Maricopa County, AZ with 27,361 removals, and Harris County, TX with 25,564 removals.

See the map here.

According to Vaughan and Griffith’s explanation of the data, the “cumulative totals are a function of several factors in combination: 1) the number of non-citizens who were arrested and identified in each jurisdiction; 2) ICE’s ability to take custody and process the aliens who are identified; and 3) the extent of cooperation provided by county sheriffs. The greater the number of criminal alien arrests, ICE capacity, and local cooperation in a jurisdiction, the greater the number of removals ICE can carry out and, by extension, the greater the public safety benefits for each county.”

The report notes that the three counties with the greatest number of removals were some of the first to institute the now defunct Secure Communities program.

Vaughan Wednesday noted that the map shows the benefit of Secure Communities.

“It is apparent from this data that few parts of the country are unaffected by illegal immigration,” she said in a statement. “The positive results of the Secure Communities program substantiate the need to facilitate and expand opportunities for cooperation between ICE and its local law enforcement partners.”

San Fran Nan (Pelosi D-umb) Strikes Again: Compares Obama's Use Of Executive Actions To Emancipation Proclamation

Pelosi Compares Obama's Use Of Executive Actions To Lincoln Freeing The Slaves

Lunatic.

[Ed; http://behavenet.com/search?keys=schizophrenia, where you'll notice that the experts, like FG Illuminati Lu, are also big on Feature Films to help the struggling Diagnosers pin the Medicare/Medicaid/Private Insurer Billing Code onto the mark.]

Via NRO:

Nancy Pelosi applauded President Obama for taking action to raise the minimum wage of federal contractors, citing the Emancipation Proclamation as a precedent for such executive action. Even though she would have preferred to see the raise come through legislatively, she said it was “fine” for the president to bypass Congress because he had “exhausted” other options. [...]

Mentioning Abraham Lincoln’s executive order to free the slaves during the Civil War, Pelosi said there are times where such actions are appropriate. ”There are many things that happened over time that wouldn’t have ever happened waiting for Congress,” she said, referring to the Emancipation Proclamation.

Holder Can't Explain Constitutional Basis For Obama's Executive Orders

Holder Can't Explain Constitutional Basis For Obama's Executive Orders

Because there isn’t any.

Via Washington Examiner:

Attorney General Eric Holder couldn’t explain the constitutional basis for executive orders such as President Obama’s delay of the employer mandate because he hasn’t read the legal analysis — or at least, hasn’t seen it in a long time.

“I’ll be honest with you, I have not seen — I don’t remember looking at or having seen the analysis in some time, so I’m not sure where along the spectrum that would come,” Holder replied when Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, asked him to explain the nature of Obama’s constitutional power to delay the mandate.

Lee had based his question on a standard legal test, first described by Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson, who said the president’s authority to issue executive orders is strongest when he does so with the backing of Congress (category one), more dubious when he issues an order pertaining to a topic on which Congress has not passed a law (category two), and weakest when the executive order is “incompatible with a congressional command” (category three), to use Lee’s paraphrase.

Anyone see anything about Executive Orders?

If we wish to add, subtract, or alter powers To those enumerated in the Constitution we look to Article 5.

ARTICLE V

The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two-thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three-fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
