Obama Administration Names Advocate for Illegal Aliens

Yesterday, the Obama Administration did something that once again is unprecedented.   U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said that the advocate would serve as a point of contact for "individuals" in immigration proceedings.  Andrew Lorenz-Strait will serve as the advocate for all illegal aliens facing deportation.  Of course, the Obama Administration stated they are trying to focus on criminal illegal aliens who need to be deported.  It is said that the Obama Administration has been allegedly deporting illegal aliens at record levels.  But, they are also trying to shore up their Hispanic base by appearing to support illegal aliens.  Rep. Lamar Smith said the Obama Administration is elevating the concerns of illegal aliens for the first time in U.S. history.  "It's outrageous that the Obama administration has appointed a taxpayer-funded activist for illegal and criminal immigrants who are detained or ordered deported. The administration all too often acts more like a lobbying firm for illegal immigrants than as an advocate for the American people," Mr. Smith, Texas Republican, said.

I wish I could say all this surprises me.  But, nothing surprises me by this President, this administration.  First, it is unconscionable that a sitting U.S. President would try to assist people who have broken U.S. law.  Rather than focus on preventing our border laws from being broken, Obama tries to assist those who have shown a lack of respect or regard for our border.  Illegal aliens do not recognize our borders.  Never have.  What Obama has done is now give these criminals someone to assist them in helping with their deportation case.  Help me out here.  You brag about record deportations and, at the same time, give them an advocate to assist in their deportations?  How about assisting people who do not want to pay taxes to the federal government?  How about giving them a taxpayer funded advocate to help them in their fight against an overbearing federal government?  That's not going to happen. Obama has no inclination to help ordinary Americans.  It makes no sense to assist people who have broken the law.  If you have a taxpayer funded advocate for illegal aliens, you must have one for every American who has broken the law.  This is a slippery slope for the Obama Administration.  But, again, why should I be surprised by a President who has show little regard for rule of law throughout his first (and hopefully last) term?
