President Barack Obama is expected to use agencies he controls and executive orders to bypass having to work with both houses of Congress to pass legislation.
Last year, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents' union officials throughout the nation issued a unanimous no confidence vote in that agency's Director John Morton on behalf of ICE officers, agents and employees nationwide citing gross mismanagement within the Agency as well as efforts within ICE to create backdoor amnesty through agency policy. And almost one year later, the law enforcement agents and their union haven't changed their minds.
In a biting June 23, 2011 statement, ICE union leaders say that since the June 10, 2010 no confidence vote was first released, problems within their agency have increased, citing the Director's latest Discretionary Memorandum as just one example.
