Critics of the president’s illegal DREAM amnesty (known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA) warned that it would create backlogs for legal immigrants. As the result of administrative fiat in 2012 rather than actual, you know, law, no funds could be appropriated to run it, meaning immigration officers who would otherwise be processing legal immigration paperwork were pulled off that and assigned to amnestying the 500,000-plus illegal aliens who claim to have arrived before their 16th birthday. The New York Times reported earlier this year that, indeed, 500,000 immediate relatives of U.S. citizens were stuck in the pipeline, experiencing double or triple the usual wait time abroad because of the diversion of resources caused by the president’s unilateral action.
Now we see this fallout from DACA in the statistics. DHS has just released its report on legal immigration numbersfor FY 2013 and, sure enough, it shows a big drop in the number of green cards issued to immediate relatives of U.S. citizens. In fact, the decline in the immediate relative category of about 40,000 accounts for the entirereduction in 2013 legal immigration compared to the prior year (from 1.03 million to 990,000). There was no drop in green cards in the extended family categories (which should all be eliminated), nor in the employment categories (most of which are bogus), nor even in the egregiously stupid visa lottery. But the number of green cards issued to the foreign husbands, wives, and little kids of American citizens went down.
More specifically, the number of spouses admitted dropped 9 percent and the number of minor children dropped 12 percent (this is mainly the minor children from prior relationships of foreign women marrying U.S. citizens, plus the relatively small number of international adoptions). Parents of adult citizens, the one part of the immediate relative category that should be eliminated, was also the one with the smallest drop, 4 percent.
So, Obama has sacrificed the morally most compelling category of legal immigrants, one that everybody supports — husbands, wives, and little kids of Americans — to implement an illegal-alien amnesty that was twice rejected by Congress. Heckuva job, Barry.

We need new visionaries in Congress who are not going to sell out or to bow down to Special Interests, to corporate cronies or the big trade unions, playing the same old continuous record of the Republican elite. All you have to do is don’t vote Democrat; don’t vote Republican; when you go to the ballot box make your decision on who will balance the federal and state budgets, Remove the Affordable Care Act.
If you want change: removal of illegal aliens; Abolishment of the IRS; introduce a fair or consumption tax, reduction in government itself; Returning the Department of Education, Environmental Protection Agency to State control. Building the Keystone pipeline and making America self-sufficient in Energy and not dependent on foreign oil, gas. Reduce to a minimum of Regulations for growing businesses. Make corporate welfare a thing of the past. Use the Tea Party agenda of Ron Paul, The One Cent Solution is beautifully simple: If the government cuts one cent out of every dollar of its total spending (excluding interest payments) each year for five years, and then caps overall federal spending at 18 percent of national income from then on, we can: Reduce federal spending by $7.5 trillion over 10 years. Balance the budget by 2019.
