Yeah... what is the deal with that anyway? Isn't there pretty much nothing preventing illegal immigrants from voting? They just have to check a box that says they are legal or something right? I doubt many illegal immigrants will be voting for Ron Paul...

It's not like you could tell they were doing any deportations anyway.

Immigration Prosecutions Climb With Record Deportations: Study


First Posted: 02/ 2/11 09:43 AM ET Updated: 04/ 4/11 05:12 AM ET
WASHINGTON -- As politicians call for more immigration enforcement and border security, a report released Wednesday found that the Obama administration is already focusing its efforts on immigration at the expense of other federal law-enforcement efforts.

Despite across-the-board staffing increases in federal law enforcement, only immigration enforcement -- particularly along the United States-Mexico border -- has increased substantially over the past two years, while other federal prosecutions in most of the country fell. Prosecutions for non-immigration felonies in non-border areas shrunk by 6 percent, according to government data analyzed by the nonpartisan Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.

At the same time, the Obama administration made an unprecedented effort to curb illegal immigration, sending record levels of money and troops to the border and more than doubling petty immigration enforcement in southwestern districts.

There's gotta be some law against the incumbent president changing policy to benefit him in an election.

I'm glad to see it. Children brought here who go through college and graduate ought to become citizens.

A President who doesn't enforce the law is guilty of Treason.

The problem is that we are paying for that education, along with many other goods/services, ie foodstamps, welfare housing, health services etc.

A good reason to impeach Julius Obama Caesar and vote out Speaker Pompey Boehner and majority leader Marcus Crassius Reid

These people can't vote, they just don't get deported. They wouldn't be able to vote unless the DREAM Act is passed, and there's not much chance of that happening in this Tea Party environment.
