ICE: are you a psycho? Then stay here in America PLEASE

  In a memo to ICE agents found here, new guidelines have been put forth to determine what ICE agents should with illegal persons who have entered the country. Here are some of the guidelines:

When weighing whether an exercise ofprosecutorial discretion may be warranted for a given . alien, ICE officers, agents,and attorneys should consider all relevant factors, including, but not limited to

• the agency's civil immigration enforcement priorities; 

• the person's length ofpresence in the United States, with particular consideration given to presence while in lawful status; 

• the circumstances ofthe person's arrival in the United States and the manner ofhis or her entry,particularly ifthe alien came to the United States as a young child; 

• the person's pursuit ofeducation in the United States, with particular consideration given to those who have graduated from a U.S. high school or have successfully pursued or are pursuing a college or advanced degrees at a legitimate institution ofhigher education in the United States; 

• whether the person, or the person's immediate relative,has served in the U.S. military, reserves, or national guard, with particular consideration given to those who served in combat; 

• the person's criminal history, including arrests, prior convictions, or outstanding arrest warrants;

This list is not exhaustive and no one factor is.determinative 

  So apparently if you are mentally ill, you can stay here. If you're sick, you can stay here and freeload on the finest health care system in the world. If you've been here a long time, you can stay. If you're an anchor baby, you can stay. If you're pregnant, you can stay. If your wife or husband is crazy, hey, that's a hardship and you can stay. If you are an illegal member of the PTA, hey, you can stay.
  And please remember that this is not exhaustive. ICE will be adding to it.
  What does this mean?
  Well, it means that what Obama cannot accomplish through Congress and the will of the people, he will accomplish through executive order and fiat. 
  Even liberals are identifying this memo as Obama's DREAM act. 
  Security Debrief says this:

What does Morton leave for ICE agents to do? Not much. Remove or deport convicted criminals and terrorists. As shown above, everyone else is given an almost-amnesty status.

  This why this is so much internal turmoil within ICE; note that ICE personnel have issued a no confidence vote for Morton.

The union for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents has issued a sharp press releasecalling on Americans to take action against what it describes as "gross mismanagement" and an effort to "create backdoor amnesty through agency policy."

On June 11, 2010, ICE Union leaders around the nation issued a unanimous no-confidence votein ICE Director John Morton. Since then, the union's concerns have grown.

On June 17, 2011, ICE Director John Morton issued a memo on prosecutorial discretion (PDF), which the ICE union is calling a "law enforcement nightmare developed by the Administration to win votes at the expense of sound and responsible law enforcement policy."
