December 08, 2009 The Obama Administration's Phantom Enforcement Policy FAIR media director Ira Mehlman tells Townhall.com readers that the Obama administration is long on talk but short on action when it comes to immigration enforcement. "Speaking at the Center for American Progress (CAP) on Nov. 13, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano declared victory over illegal immigration and announced that the Obama administration is ready to move forward with a mass amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens already living in the United States . . . If Rep. Joe Wilson had been in attendance to hear Secretary Napolitano's CAP speech he might well have had a few choice comments to offer. But since he wasn't, we will have to rely on the Department of Homeland Security's own data to assess the veracity of Napolitano's claims."

"And in fact, all somebody has to do is make a claim to citizenship and that pretty much gets them into the system. It doesn't require the more stringent verification procedures that are already in place and being used successfully in many other government programs."

"Federal agents returned Tepaz and other former workers to Postville in November 2008 so they could testify against Rubashkin in his 72-count Immigration trial," the Chicago Tribune reports. "When the Immigration charges were dropped, prosecutors no longer needed the immigrant witnesses, who now face deportation. The immigrants were given temporary work visas while they waited to testify in the trial, and eventually returned to Agriprocessors."
