From the Washington Times.
The Obama administration said Monday it is suspending existing agreements with Arizona police over enforcement of federal immigration laws, and said it has issued a directive telling federal authorities to decline many of the calls reporting illegal immigrants that the Homeland Security Department may get from Arizona police.
Administration officials, speaking on condition they not be named, told reporters they expect to see an increase in the number of calls they get from Arizona police — but that won’t change President Obama’s decision to limit whom the government actually tries to detain and deport.
“We will not be issuing detainers on individuals unless they clearly meet our defined priorities,” one official said in a telephone briefing.
The official said that despite the increased number of calls, which presumably means more illegal immigrants being reported, the Homeland Security Department is unlikely to detain a significantly higher number of people and won’t be boosting personnel to handle the new calls.
“We do not plan on putting additional staff on the ground in Arizona,” the official said.
The Supreme Court ruled Monday that Arizona may not impose its own penalties for immigration violations, but it said state and local police could check the legal status of those they have reasonable suspicion to believe are in the country illegally.
That means police statewide can immediately begin calling to check immigration status — but federal officials are likely to reject most of those calls.
Since illegals—along with dead people, prisoners, and fabricated names—are part of the Democratic party’s voting bloc, Obama will use the newly opened loophole to ensure they get to stay.
He would rather ignore the rights of legal American citizens than exclude illegal aliens.
Come November, this arrogant, tyrannical, power-abusing thugocracy needs to be kicked out of Washington.

Obama is desperate for votes, very simply. We have non-US citizens registered to vote throughout the country. States that are or have tried to clean up their voter registration roles have found this over and over.
When justice no longer exists, there can no longer be peace. The tens of billions have been spent through federal grants and the military to stock pile and forward position armored vehicles and specialized crowd control systems over the past two years.
Remember PG-1? The US Army forward deployed material and fuel into the Iraq desert before the first armored vehicle advanced over the Iraq/Saudi Arabia border. Never before in the history of this country has such material and equipment been forward deployed for the purpose of controlling this country’s citizens ever happened until now.
