U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services plans to seek a vendor to produce
as many as 34 million blank work permits and 'green cards' – the
paperwork that authorizes illegal immigrants to live and work in the
United States – as the White House prepares to issue an executive order
after the Nov. 4 midterm elections.
According
to a draft solicitation published online, the government agency will
look for a company that can produce a minimum 4 million cards per year
for five years, and 9 million in the early stages.
President
Barack Obama has pledged that he will make a move on immigration reform
this year. His original timetable called for a decision by the end of
the summer.
Republicans
have decried the plan as an 'amnesty' for millions of illegal
immigrants, including hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors who
have come across the U.S.-Mexico border this year.

'#Not1More': An immigration activist
heckled President Barack Obama on Sunday as he spoke during a campaign
event for Democratic Maryland gubernatorial candidate Anthony Brown
Along with its solicitation for blank
green cards and work permits, USCIS published images showing what the
finished cards will look like
A
draft RFP – a Request For Proposal – is typically published in advance
so government contractors can prepare to submit their bids when the
final version is published.
The draft came complete with photos of what the finished cards will look like.
Obama's
high numbers of illegal immigration 'removals' – what used to be called
'deportation' – has earned him the nickname 'deportation president,'
but most of those ejected border-crossers never get to the interior of
the U.S.
Still,
activists have protested his policies, including some who heckle his
speeches. One yelled at him Sunday in the middle of a campaign stump
speech supporting Democratic Maryland gubernatorial candidate Anthony
Brown.
A
USCIS official told MailOnline on Monday that the draft was published
'in case the president makes the move we think he will,' but added that
the agency's Document Management Division (DMD) is by no means committed
to buying the materials.
A
second official at the agency said the proposal was drafted as a
contingency in case immigration reform legislation passes in Congress,
not in anticipation of action from the White House.
Either
way, the online draft explains that 'DMD requires card consumables for
the production of USCIS' Permanent Resident Card (PRC) and Employment
Authorization Document (EAD) cards.'
'These cards and related consumables, when assembled, become highly specialized and secure identification documents.'
And
a successful bid, the draft solicitation says, will be able to support a
'potential "surge" in PRC and EAD card demand for up to 9M (9 million)
cards during the initial period of performance to support possible
future immigration reform initiative requirements.'
Advocates for Mexican and Central
American immigrants have lambasted Obama for deporting illegal aliens
even though the numbers are down sharply. This Sept. 8 protest in front
of the White House featured a crying young boy (left) whose father was
deported
Obama delayed his immigration action
until after the midterm congressional election to avoid alienating
law-and-order voters, but can afford to frustrate illegal imigrants –
who can't legally cast ballots
Former
State Department foreign service officer Jessica Vaughan, now an
immigration expert at the Center for Immigration Studies, told Breitbart
that the RFP 'seems to indicate that the president is contemplating an
enormous executive action that is even more expansive than the plan that
Congress rejected in the 'Gang of Eight' bill.'
That
legislation, which passed in the U.S. Senate last year only to be
stalled in the House of Representatives, was a broad reboot of American
immigration policy that won support from a handful of Republicans.
In
included a provision to provide a pathway to citizenship for so-called
'dreamers' – people living in the country illegally who were brought to
Americans as children before June 15, 2007.
Obama's
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which he
ultimately enacted without congressional support, uses the EAD cards as
part of its implementation.
USCIS says it processed 862,000 EADs overall between January and June of this year.
But 'the guaranteed minimum for each ordering period is 4,000,000 cards,' according to the draft RFP.
'The estimated maximum for the entire contract is 34,000,000 cards.'
The company that ultimately wins the contract will also be required to store the blank cards until the government needs them.

President
Obama, who has notably ignored our open Southern border, welcomed
illegal aliens, and refused to institute a travel ban from Ebola-ridden
countries, has a hardcore solution for Americans who are
potentially suffering from Ebola. He’ll just increase the police state
another notch. “What I have directed the CDC to do is that as soon as
somebody is diagnosed with Ebola then we want a rapid response team, a
SWAT team essentially, from the CDC, to be on the ground as quickly as
possible. Hopefully within 24 hours.”. InfoWars
