Morale among officers at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, already low,
has reached a new bottom as illegal immigrants expecting amnesty from
President Obama taunt and ridicule the overworked officers, according to a
new report.
"Yes," said one, "working for this agency is Hell right now."
That was the latest message to immigration policy critic Jessica M. Vaughn,
director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies. She has
charted the woes of the officers who carry out the president's orders.
The president's gradual, calculated dismantling of our immigration system
has caused morale to plummet in the agencies of the Department of Homeland
Security. Career immigration officials have courageously objected in public,
and sometimes resorted to lawsuits to draw attention to the administration's
subversion of the law. In denial about their principled objections to his
scheme, now the president is hoping to stifle their voices by offering them
a pay increase as part of this outrageous plan. His assumption that they are
motivated by money shows just how little respect he has for the men and
women who have devoted their careers to public service in immigration."
Vaughan told Secrets that she has been concerned about morale in ICE and
raised the issue with Homeland Secretary Jeh Johnson.
She said that officers are concerned that illegals with criminal records are
being released under Obama's policies, and that some immigrants taunt the
officers, believing that the policies protect them.
"Some have told me that illegal alien criminals they have arrested have even
taunted them, saying they know the ICE officers can't do anything to them
because of Obama administration policies," Vaughan told Secrets.
