Obama gives ICE the cold shoulder
National Review 21 Jul: Sources say immigration agents believe the federal government is deliberately not giving them work. By Ryan Lovelace President Obama is encouraging ICE - Immigration and Customs Enforcement - officers to slack off on the job, former border cops tell National Review Online. Some ICE officials think the Obama administration has intentionally neglected to give them orders to support efforts to resolve the crisis on Americas southwestern border, says Ronald Colburn, former national deputy chief of the U.S. Border Patrol. As a result, the wave of unaccompanied children from Central America is unfolding while ICE officials cool their heels. Theyre sitting still at their desks reading newspapers, playing video games on their government computers because theyre not being tasked with work, and they feel like its coming all the way down from the top, Colburn tells NRO. These are guys that do want to go out more, but basically theyre not. Colburn says some ICE agents go work out at the gym for four hours each day because they have little work to do. Meanwhile, he says, the Obama administration continues to strangle Border Patrol agents who must process and handle the latest flood of Central Americans rather than stand guard at the border.
