The Obama Administration is attempting to unilaterally implement amnesty for illegal aliens, going around the wishes of Congress and ignoring existing American immigration law.

Janet Napolitano, secretary of Homeland Security, admitted to Congress that the administration will not process for legal deportation individuals who could possibly be covered by DREAM Act amnesty in the future.

But that brings up a question: When the point of DREAM Act amnesty is to provide illegal aliens with the assurance that they won’t be deported, and the administration is already assuring illegals that they won’t be deported, then how is that not unilaterally implementing amnesty?

And incidentally, there’s no reason for the administration to believe that the DREAM Act is about to become law.

The bill failed last year when Democrats overwhelmingly controlled both chambers of Congress. Now Republicans control the House and Democrats have only a slight hold on the Senate. There’s no chance in hell that the legislation passes anytime soon. So the administration’s efforts aren’t a matter of preparing for the imminent.

Secretary Napolitano insists her department lacks the resources to process and deport a large number of illegal aliens. But as Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) was quick to point out, neither Napolitano nor the administration has bothered asking Congress for the resources that would be needed for deportation.

In summary, the Obama Administration no longer cares what Congress or the American people say about amnesty for 11 million illegal aliens. The administration is unilaterally implementing amnesty and will continue to do so unless and until Barack Obama is removed from the White House in 2012.
