Obama’s DHS Aids Human Traffickers Smuggling Illegals Into the US

Tim Brown January 1, 2014

US District Court Judge Andrew S. Hanen, in a December ruling, claims that the Obama administration's Homeland Security Department has been openly violating US law by conspiring to smuggle illegal immigrants into the United States. As if all the other scandals that are enveloping this administration weren't enough, it seems they are now openly aiding an invasion of our country, which again, should be declared as treasonous.
The accusations were contained in the judge's ruling against Mirtha Veronica Nava-Martinez, who plead guilty to attempting to smuggle a ten-year-old El Salvadorean girl, identified only as Y.P.S. in the ruling, into the United States in violation of federal law. Nava-Martinez was caught at the Brownsville & Matamoros Bridge checkpoint.

Patricia Elizabeth Salmeron Santos had solicited human traffickers, of which Nava-Martinez is an admitted trafficker, to smuggle her daughter into Virginia. She eventually agreed to pay $8,500 (paying $6,000 in advance) to traffic her daughter into the country.
The Texas federal judge accused DHS of delivering children, illegally smuggled into the US to their illegal immigrant parents. "This action makes the DHS complicit in aiding that Mexican drug cartels that control the people smuggling rings," writes Hanen. He added that the "government is not only allowing (illegal immigrants in the US) to fund the illegal and evil activities of these cartels, but is also inspiring them to do so."
Judge Hanen wrote that in more than one case that has been before his court, members of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a federal agency under DHS, have arrested human traffickers, who are smuggling children illegally into the US, then "delivering the minors to the custody of the parent illegally living in the United States."
In fact, He was quite blatant in his ruling. After describing what took place in apprehending Nava-Martinez, Hanen wrote, "Despite this setback (referring to the arrest of Nava-Martinez before she could deliver the girl), the goal of the conspiracy was successfully completed thanks to the actions of the United States Government. This Court is quite concerned with the apparent policy of the Department of Homeland Security of completing the criminal mission of individuals who are violating the border security of the United States."
Even more telling, is the fact that the illegal who instigated the entire process was not only not arrested, but given her child!
"Customs and Border Protection agents stopped the Defendant at the border inspection point," Hanen wrote. "She was arrested, and the child was taken into custody. The DHS officials were notified that Salmeron Santos instigated this illegal conduct. Yet, instead of arresting Salmeron Santos for instigating the conspiracy to violate our border security laws, the DHS delivered the child to her – thus successfully completing the mission of the criminal conspiracy. It did not arrest her. It did not prosecute her. It did not even initiate deportation proceedings for her."

"Time and again this court has been told by representatives of the government and the defense that cartels control the entire smuggling process," Hanen wrote. "… the government is not only allowing [illegal immigrants in the U.S.] to fund the illegal and evil activities of these cartels, but is also inspiring them to do so. To put this in another context, the DHS policy is as logical as taking illegal drugs or weapons that it has seized from smugglers and delivering them to the criminals who initially solicited their illegal importation/exportation. Legally, this situation is no different."
"The DHS could reunite the parent and child by apprehending the parent who has committed not one, but at least two different crimes," Judge Hanen wrote.
"It would be more efficient for the Government to arrest the individuals who are not only in the country illegally, but while in the country illegally are also fostering illegal conspiracies.... It would also be much cheaper to apprehend those co-conspirators and reunite them at the children's location," he added. "Yet, it neither prosecutes nor deports the wrongdoer." In other words, the administration is "rewarding criminal conduct instead of enforcing the current laws."
Judge Hanen says that there is absolutely no justification for the action of the DHS officials' unlawful behavior.  "The DHS has simply chosen not to enforce the United States' border security laws," he said. He also added that DHS was turning a "blind eye" to criminal conduct and in the process, participating "in and complete the mission of a criminal conspiracy or to encourage parents to put their minor children in perilous situations subject to the whims of evil individuals."
Hanen adds, "These actions are both dangerous and unconscionable. The DHS has simply chosen not to enforce the United States' border security laws."
Finally, there is someone that will call this administration's actions for what they are: criminal. The question now is when will Salmeron Santos be arrested and she and her daughter deported? When will the DHS officials involved be terminated and arrested for their criminal activity and when will those who are over them be held accountable to the law?
