While the Department of Homeland Security and the Obama Administration have been promoting the increased number of deportations of criminal illegal aliens, a new report by the Houston Chronicle shows that they may be quietly executing a 'backdoor amnesty.' The report from the Houston Chronicle says the number of deportation cases that have been dismissed by federal judges in Houston has increased by 700% over recent months.
The Houston Chronicle conducted a review of the court docket and found that 217 immigration cases were dismissed in August up from only 27 dismissals in July.
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Chicago), the poster boy for illegal aliens, is trying to drum up support for this amnesty that also would benefit the parents of "kids" who can be as old as 35 and still qualify for this program.
A cloture motion to begin debate of the Defense Authorization bill (S.3454) was defeated in the Senate today, 43-to-56. Majority Leader Harry Reid planned to attach the Dream Act Amnesty to the bill as an amendment. The vote went along party lines with three Democrats voting against cloture, including Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) who is the lead sponsor of the SAVE Act.
