Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin today seized on the arrest of President Obama's uncle to attack the administration's immigration policy, including the recent decision to prioritize the deportation of undocumented immigrants who are a threat to public safety.
Malkin wrote:
When the White House began issuing its deportation waivers last week, I reminded you again about the endless appeals process and immigration litigation lottery played by deportable aliens and their open-borders lawyers. And remember: Capitol Hill compounds the problem with a raft of special private relief bills that protect illegal alien criminals.
This chaos creates a friendly atmosphere in which those who plot to destroy the American dream can hide, work, and flourish. As we approach the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that awoke snoozing feds to the nexus between systemic lax immigration enforcement and compromised homeland security, the paparazzi president has nothing to say about the deportation abyss. We'll get photo ops and platitudes about never forgetting. The open-borders lobby will get a continuing windfall of get-out-of-deportation passes.
Malkin further wrote: “Entry into this country is no longer treated as a privilege, but an irrevocable right for every last griping Zeituni and reckless Omar.” She concluded with this “crack” from Doug Powers, a contributor on her blog:
“If the president was serious about rounding up illegals he'd host a family reunion and have ICE throw a net over the South Lawn.”
Malkin previously attacked the administration for its prosecutorial discretion guidelines in deportation cases.
