The Obama administration named a new ?public advocate? who will be appointed to listen to immigrants? concerns about various law enforcement policies.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the advocate will ?serve as a point of contact for individuals, including those in immigration proceedings, NGOs and other community and advocacy groups, who have concerns, questions, recommendations or other issues they would like to raise.?
In other words, this position has been created to serve as?a political mouthpiece for illegal immigrants who are being deported.
The agency ? part of the Homeland Security Department ? said Andrew Lorenz-Strait will be the first advocate.
But Rep. Lamar Smith, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said that meant elevating the concerns of illegal immigrants.
?It?s?outrageous that the Obama administration has appointed a taxpayer-funded activist for illegal and criminal immigrants who are?detained or ordered deported.? The administration all too often acts?more like a lobbying firm for illegal immigrants than as an advocate for?the American people,? Mr. Smith, Texas Republican, said.
Mr. Smith said that when Congress created the Homeland Security Department, it?specifically created an advocate?s position for those in the legal?immigration process, but it declined to create one for illegal immigrants,?who the courts have regularly ruled are not entitled to the same???? protections as citizens and legal residents.
Another Obama tzar, along with another political ploy to court Hispanic voters.
