President Obama's Record of Dismantling Immigration Enforcement
The Obama administration’s strategy is to count on the fact that the public and the media will not take notice of each individual and incremental step they are taking to undermine immigration enforcement and grant de facto amnesty to as many illegal aliens as possible. This report exposes the strategy and the policy objectives behind it.
President Obama's Record of Dismantling Immigration Enforcement: Foreword
President Barack Obama came to office in 2009 and pledged that during his first year of office he would enact amnesty legislation for illegal aliens living in the U.S. That, of course, did not happen—not because of any lack of ideological commitment on the part of the President, but because of pragmatic considerations.
Only two years earlier, then-Senator Obama watched as President George W. Bush tried to toss the American people into the boiling cauldron of comprehensive amnesty in 2007. It didn’t work. Voters angrily crashed the Capitol switchboard on the day the Senate was set to vote and as a result, 14 Democrats joined 39 Republicans to vote down the amnesty legislation. As President, Obama concluded—correctly—there just is not an appetite in Congress for another politically bruising fight over comprehensive immigration “reform.”
Understanding that Members of Congress ultimately would not ignore the unequivocal objections of their constituents to amnesty, the Obama administration opted to adopt a strategy of dismantling immigration enforcement in order to achieve the same ends. The administration hoped that while the American people were focused on unemployment, crashing real estate values, banking scandals, health care reform, foreign policy crises, and countless other issues, they would not notice what was actually taking place.
This report details how the Obama administration has carried out a policy of de facto amnesty for millions of illegal aliens through executive policy decisions. Since 2009, the Obama administration has systematically gutted effective immigration enforcement policies, moved aggressively against State and local governments that attempt to enforce immigration laws, and stretched the concept of “prosecutorial discretion” to a point where it has rendered many immigration laws meaningless. Remarkably, the administration has succeeded in doing all this without much protest from Congress.
Thus, despite the fact that the U.S. Constitution grants Congress plenary authority over immigration policy, the Executive Branch is now making immigration policy unconstrained by constitutional checks and balances. This report chronicles the events that have unfolded over Obama’s presidency.

Someone put a ‘Fake News MAGA’ sign up outside a Texas Holocaust museum
A sign appeared Tuesday morning in San Antonio, railing against “Fake News” and proclaiming “MAGA” — President Trump’s abbreviated campaign slogan, turned fashion statement for some conservatives. An arrow pointed to the purported “Fake News.” It was pointed at the marquee for the Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio, photos show, before the homemade sign was removed.
The sign was first spotted Tuesday morning, and it was removed shortly after, according to the San Antonio Express News. “MAGA” stands for “Make America Great Again,” Trump’s 2016 campaign slogan, which he registered as a trademark in 2012 according to Snopes. Hats and T-shirts emblazoned with the phrase have been big sellers since the 2016 campaign.
The photo was picked up by multiple media outlets Tuesday and Wednesday, but the morning fog and a tree partially obscures the sign’s message. The Coordination Forum for Countering Antisemitism obtained a clearer photo, that shows the sign painted in drippy blue spray paint block letters. San Antonio police confirmed that units responded to the museum, located on San Antonio’s North Side, Tuesday morning for the “threat.” No police report was immediately available, however.
The Jewish Federation of San Antonio operates the museum, which sits on a campus that also features the city’s Jewish Community Center and Jewish Community Services. “The leadership of the Jewish Federation in San Antonio strongly condemns any acts of vandalism against the Jewish community,” Federation chairman Harry Levy said in a statement obtained by McClatchy. “This cowardly act is doubly harmful in that it laughs at the memory of all the millions of Jews who died in the Holocaust and is harmful to the precious few Holocaust survivors who witnessed the horrors of the Shoah first hand. The ignorance expressed by the perpetrators can only be countered by shining the light of truth upon our shared history.” It was not clear Wednesday who put the sign up.
