UK: Illegal immigrant lived in hospital for more than a year despite being well because red tape prevented doctors discharging him
"The unidentified man received treatment and was declared fit enough to be discharged in August last year."
"But he has remained on a ward ever since because the UK Border Agency has been unable to fix a date with Pakistan International Airlines to fly him back to his home country. Although fit to be discharged, he does need long-term nursing care, which would ordinarily be provided in the community or by a care home. "

"You may have read that President Obama is now quietly offering a quasi-amnesty for illegal immigrants in a cynical attempt to rebuild his voting base."
"Under his direction, new prosecution rules* put ICE agents in a bureaucratic box if they choose to prosecute illegals, with dozens of new, subjective guidelines. In essence, Obama is forcing ICE agents to release illegals even if they are caught committing crimes."

Texas Guv Spokesperson: Border Briefing Declined Because ‘We’re Living it Every Day’
"Gov. Rick Perry (who had plans with a friend today) wasn’t willing to travel all the way to El Paso to meet President Obama on the tarmac, his spokeswoman said after the White House noted the governor declined a meeting.
Perry spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger said the governor asked whether he could instead meet the president on the Austin tarmac.
She said the White House nixed that idea and also refused a wildfire tour, saying the president’s schedule was too busy.
As for Perry declining a past National Security Council briefing on the border, the governor’s staff said that’s right on target.
”The last thing the governor needs is a briefing about what is happening on the border,” Cesinger said. “We know exactly what is happening. It’s not secure, and we need more federal resources. …. We’re living it every day. It’s in our backyard.”

Republicans Slam DREAM Act for Including Immigrants With Criminal Records
"The DREAM Act, a bill heavily backed by the Obama administration and congressional Democrats, would give some illegal immigrants who arrived in the United States as children a pathway to legal status provided they attend college or join the military. Supporters argue it gives immigrants invested in this country a chance at coming out of the shadows, justly letting them off the hook for the decision of their parents to enter the United States illegally. It encourages education and would build the Armed Forces, they say."
