\"White<\/a>The Obama administration continues to court support for amnesty and mass immigration from big business execs. Yesterday<\/a>, the White House hosted the CEOs of Marriott, McDonald\u2019s, and State Farm \u2013 the first two are already solidly in the pro-amnesty camp, having sponsored<\/a> the \u201cconservative\u201d fly-in last week.<\/p>\n

Despite numerous letters to the administration and recently House Oversight Chair Darrell Issa<\/a>, ICE officers\u2019 concerns and whistleblower complaints are being ignored during the amnesty push.<\/p>\n

The National ICE Council is now taking its complaints to the people who seem to be making our immigration policy \u2013 CEOs and amnesty lobbyists. In a letter to CEOs, big business campaign donors, and groups like La Raza, union president Chris Crane writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly influential and affluent groups and wealthy individuals like you were given an opportunity to provide real input on our nation\u2019s new immigration laws\u2026\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile this legislation may satisfy your personal financial or political objectives, it undermines immigration enforcement and worsens the immigration problems currently experienced in the United States…\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cAs you fight for special protections and legalization for violent criminal offenders and gang members illegally in the United States, certainly you must realize that in doing so you sacrifice the safety of every man, woman and child residing in the United States\u2026\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

In closing Mr. Crane requests to meet with the CEOs and lobbyists who believe they know more about immigration enforcement and what\u2019s best for the country than the ICE officers who deal will illegal immigration every day.<\/p>\n

We won\u2019t hold our breath waiting for their response.
