Subscribe to RSSMassachusetts police say they're discouraged by a defense lawyer's request to trawl through the record of the officer who pulled over President Barack Obama's half-uncle last year.
Onyango Obama, 67, was arrested Aug. 24 and charged with driving under the influence. Framingham police said he hit 0.14 on a blood alcohol test, nearly double the legal limit of 0.08.
Obama, who has fought attempts to deport him to Kenya as an alleged illegal immigrant since 1989, briefly appeared Thursday in Framingham District Court, where his attorney, Scott Bratton, said he wanted a copy of arresting officer Val Krishtal's official on-duty driving record.
Krishtal was on duty when he lost control of his cruiser and crashed into a stone wall in November, according to records obtained by NBC station WHDH of Boston. The investigation into that crash reported that "there have been numerous incidents investigated by the Framingham Police Department over the past several years involving Officer Krishtal and the operation of a motor vehicle while on duty."
In court Thursday, Bratton said he wanted Krishtal's records to "see if there is a pattern of conduct of bad driving behavior on the part of the arresting officer."
That request annoyed the Massachusetts police union, which said the officer's driving record was irrelevant to whether Obama was guilty of DUI.
"It's sort of discouraging," Fall River police Sgt. James Machado, executive director of the Massachusetts Police Association, told The Boston Herald.
"I understand defense attorneys taking tacks and questioning police officers' integrity, but to bring someone else's record out there? What influence would that have on him doing his job?" Machado asked. "If you have motor vehicle violations, you can't give out citations?"
Framingham police Lt. Ronald Brandolini told the Herald that Krishtal, 44, has never been disciplined for driving infractions on duty.
But personal driving records obtained by WHDH reflect that Krishtal's license is "active non-renewal status" — meaning he must pay a fine or a fee before he can renew it.

Question for the boot lickers....does credibility mean anything anymore? Lastly, the "active non-renewal" status of his driver's license is indicative that he doesn't follow the law he is sworn to uphold...once again boot lickers, does credibility and integrity mean anything to you?
What does the cop's driving record have to do with Onyango Obama's DUI?
Who, and what are the "boot lickers"?
And what does the fact that he is President Obama's half uncle have to do with anything?
I don't know most my half uncles/aunts/fifth cousins. It has nothing to do with Obama and the Cops driving record may have something to do with claiming DUI's. This cop apparently doesn't even have a driver's license yet he's out on the road stopping people and giving drunk driving tests? This wouldn't be the first time someone who lost a privilege goes on a vendetta to take the same privilege from others. It may well be that this is a rouge cop being protected by a union and he's framing people. I think his record is a legitimate concern.
"Framingham police said he hit 0.14 on a blood alcohol test"
Wonder how the officer's driving record made this happen? Huh..... Like cops or hate cops, if your blood alcohol exceeds the limit, you are DUI, regardless of the officers "history" or whether you were angry with your spouse or anything else. Prove the test wrong, then we can talk. Otherwise, you are drunk, plead guilty because you simply are.
An no, being Obama's half-uncle (what IS this anyway?) has nothing to do with it. Dang it.
Stop. Just admit the DUI, pay the fine and move forward.

Those enforcing laws must be held to a higher level of accountability than the average citizen, yet most are held to a much lower accountability. Law enforcement can do much more harm to an individual than almost any institution or situation. I've had things stolen from me, identity theft and been arrested because a girl lied to police to keep from being in trouble herself. I can tell you that I would much rather have an interaction with a criminal than a police officer because getting robbed or beaten is much better than going through trial and arrest. I lost 15,000 dollars fighting to prove my innocence only to have to choose between spending another 25,000 in legal fees or accept a misdemeanor plea deal. Its a no win situation because even if I won I would have lost 45,000 in legal fees defending myself.
The detective who wrote my police report lied on it, why? The only thing i can think of is that he was convinced I was guilty because of what the woman said, He had no care for the truth, he already made his decision and wanted me punished. Police do lie.
Robert,
He did know the Uncle because he wrote him in "Dreams of my Father" and why would you put down a police officer to defend somebody here illegally since 1989 thus being a lawbreaker and while here working thus taking the job from an American citizen. There are many crimes i can excuse but given that 50% of all driving fatalities are due to DUI that is one that needs to be punished.
Deport the drunken bastard along with his nephew..
correction, 40,000 dollars, plus some other costs you all surely don't care for me to break down.
I think attorneys file these type of motions every day. Someone decided that because the defendant is President Obama's distant relative that it is newsworthy. Remember when President Bush's daughters got into trouble for underage drinking? Same thing, connection somehow to the president makes it "news." The Bush girls and the Obama half-uncle, both stories just a half-step up from tabloid reporting.
Vince, the fact that Obama has been fighting to keep his illegal uncle in the country for YEARS now is what makes relit evant. If he hadn't done so, than the uncle would have been driving drunk back in his OWN damn country and no longer our problem. Capish?
The presidents "under age daughters" are news worthy, as he is responsible for them (or not as the case may be). As to a half uncle, no connection, and the officers driving situation also 'no connection'. Pay the fine and move on!!!
What a nice family they seem to be! Silly laws keep getting in the way of their right to seek life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness all Americans enjoy. Obama has found it, maybe his relatives can too, with good lawyers! Are they all from Kenya?
brent guthrie... normally I would agree with you and say nothing at all, but how can a cop who is\was under investigation himself for possible DUI why was he even driving on patrol?
Dave - I quite agree. It is because he is a distant relative of Obama's that it makes the news. Bush's daughters, Billy Carter, etc. etc. etc. Anybody vaguely associated with the president suddenly is newsworthy. Otherwise, this would be back of the newspaper and noted by only a few people.
And grilledcheese - the point of the story is not that Obama has been working for years to keep him in the country. It's standard practice for relatives of immigrants to try to help them. The point of the story was that his half-uncle has been charged with DUI. THAT is what makes the news.
82.
where did you get the information that the officer was under investigation for a possible DUI because that is not mentioned at all in the article
grilledcheesesandwich, You may want to read this again
Obama, who has fought attempts to deport him to Kenya as an alleged illegal immigrant since 1989, briefly appeared Thursday in Framingham District Court, where his attorney, Scott Bratton, said he wanted a copy of arresting officer Val Krishtal's official on-duty driving record.
They were talking about the half-uncle, not the president. The article states that the half-uncles attorney is Scott Bartton.
It's good to be the king..
RW,
You are correct and beat me to it. The Obama they are talking about is the guy accused of the DUI, not the President. Some people hear what they want to hear and read what the want to read.
The officer's driving record did not cause uncle Obama to have 0.14 blood alcohol level. There is no reason that the driving record of the officer should even be an issue since the officer's driving has nothing to do with the charges.
The reason why this is news is that under President Obama's guidelines, if uncle Obama is convicted of a felony DUI, he is supposed to be deported. Under the guidelines, any illegal who commits another crime goes to the head of the list for deportation. A DUI conviction would make his deportation a virtual certainty unless President Obama steps in. With the political fallout that would occur if President Obama stepped in, uncle Obama would not have much hope. And to that I say it is about time. He has been in this country illegally for over two decades and it is about time we threw his ass out of the country. Without the political connections, he probably would have been gone a long time ago.
Crash in the face, a "natural born citizen" cannot be deported. As far as his father's half brother deport him. DUI conviction or not.
Non-renewal status can be for a EZPass or Fastlane violation. so a bad transponder sets off some of the losers here?
Ah .... what are you giving the Rights of Americans to Illegal Aliens ?
Have any of you thought about the fact that for the Uncle that is Illegal to have a Drivers License He would have had to Steal Someones Identification! And along with the DUI IMO he should have been charged with using false ID (a false Drivers License) .....
"If you have motor vehicle violations, you can't give out citations?"
A drunk's a drunk but you people can quit living above the law too. It's not Krishtal's first rodeo either.
He blew a .14 on the breathalizer. Fortunately Officer Krishtal pulled Obama over before he blew someone elses life. But yes, that has a direct correlation to Officer Krishtal NOT having a record of driving drunk, only an accident prone driving record.
How many times must we see this ???? The illegal scu@#$ag shouldn't be in this country, now that he is a obvious liability DEPORT him ! But that won't happen will it LIBERALS ?
Clarification, he has a license! He must pay a fine or fee BEFORE HE CAN RENEW IT.
82allamericans: who knows what the cop did exactly to deserve an investigation, but police officers can conduct their duties WHILE being under investigation. If the cop made the DUI stop while under a suspension, Onyango Obama's charges would have been dropped already.
Who, and what are the "boot lickers"?
Equality-791040 looking in a mirror! He must have done something wrong and is expecting that Presidential pardon!
Agree with both side, however, let's take the fact that this is OBAMA'S 1/2 uncle. Would it still be right that the person who has sworn to uphold the law ne allowed to stop you or myself for a citation if his driver's license is not current? We would say no! Cops have a code of silence and will stick with each other to the end. Mr Obama should be given whatever punishment that supports his DUI and the cop should ne removed from patroling in a vehicle until he gets his driver's license in order. Actually, the cop with the bad driver's license is worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well if the 1/2 uncle killed someone while driving drunk I think that would be worse. I am amazed however that apparently an officer can continue to drive on duty without a license. I wonder how he got to and from work?
it didn't say it wasn't current. it said when he has to renew it he has to pay a fine first. try reading and analyzing the information first. and no, the cop isn't worse. how many people with fines kill others each year? probably a whole lot less than people who drive drunk. I have yet to see a public service announcement on renewing a drivers license. get a life and hit the gym. you're obviously fat.
Jeff - I stand corrected. I misinterpreted the article as in my state, renewal of a license is not dependent upon paying outstanding fines as long as one has a valid license (meaning you haven't accrued enough points on it to be suspended.) Having said that, let me clarify that I do not think the officer's driving issues are worse. A DUI is obviously more serious than a civil driving violation and especially because of what it can result in. So - what's with the personal attacks? Can't you have a conversation without getting personal (and wrong?)
Officer's record has nothing to do with this! Obviously the attorney is grasping at straws. And this person, driving drunk on our streets and putting OUR citizens at risk, is not even LEGAL. Deport this illegal alien immediately after he serves his sentence. AND... check out the defense attorney's driving record!! Whats good for the goose.....!
If the defense can create sufficient doubt in the officer's credibility, judgement , etc., there may be a way to have the case dismissed on a technicality like "unlawful stop" as if the DUI itself never happened.
The officers driving record doesn't have anything to do with that particular stop. What bothers me most is that we have another Obama relative in this country illegally and he hasn't been deported! Does Obama have any relatives outside his wife and kids that aren't here illegally?
@ Re-Elect Obama 2012--In the state where I live any motor vehicle infraction where you are ticked and fail to pay the fine will put your license renewal on hold until the fine and penalties are paid. If this Obama man gets off because of a technicality such as this shows us all what kind of justice system we really have. The police person in question has an active and valid license until it expires. Lastly about your handle, Re-Elect Obama 2012, I hope you get your wish and this man is re-elected, then there will be no question about his abilities and the Bush bashers will have had their say, for the good or the bad of this country..
There are two stupid things here. First that your re-elect obama, and then questioning the cops credibilty because of his crashing his squad car on duty, as if this had anything to do with obamas being drunk while driving his car, and being pulled over by this officer, is absolutly stupid. The dam@ man shouldn't even be in this country.
The officer's credibility is what the the half uncle's lawyer is going after here and it is a shrewd legal tactic that no learned defence lawyer will avoid. If an American citizen found himself or herself in this identical situation, wouldn't he or she want his or her lawyer to help win the case by going after the officer's credibility? A DUI conviction can raise your insurance premium while adding points on your license. President Obama's relationship to his half uncle has no bearing on this case, which is about the law, so all the idiots who are trying to establish some sort of link so they can attack the President are just hating.
Realist-1226632:
The poster to whom you replied said nothing of the officer's driving record. His post addressed the officer's credibility and judgement, or lack thereof.
Embrace reading comprehension; it's a good thing.
Another wacko cop operating a deadly weapon.
Another wacko cop looking to place the blame for his incompetence on someone else "outside' the system.
Where was this public "outcry" when G.W. Bush was aressted and found found gulity of DWI ????
That was long before MADD got everyone involved in trying to take drinking and driving seriously and prevent DUI. Back then it was just a youthful indiscretion.
Bush was much younger and not in public office, and what does that have to do with anything
What does Bush, his record as governor, his record as POTUS, his record in baseball or his driving record from years ago have to do with this case? Nothing.
Someone named Obama that may or may not be related (distantly) to the current President has a lawyer trying to deflect his client's bad behavior by bringing up the cop's driving record and your first reaction is to say, "Well Bush 43 did xyz!" Wow.
W was 30 when he got his DWI... hardly a child... just as he is hardly a Texan... he is a noreaster! The DWI happened where he grew up... in MAINE!
Nope .... His home of record at the time was Midland Tx
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,59579,00.html
And .....
What does something Bush did before he was elected and was in politics have to do with this issue? He wasn't elected to public office until 1994 and it wasn't an issue then 8 years after he quit drinking... You want to talk about the self admitted Drug use of President Obama?
Yah sorry... had it all wrong... he was only born in CT, and finished high school at Phillips Academy, a boarding school (then all-male) in Andover, Massachusetts, and attended Yale University from 1964 to 1968, and in the fall of 1973, Bush attended the Harvard Business School.
Where is Yale? CT.
Where is Harvard? MA.
Where was he born? CT.
Where was his parent's house at the time of his DWI? ME.
Sorry... he's definitely Texan... not someone of New England. Never-mind he was born there, and most of his later schooling was there... maybe not Maine... but please.
A 30 year old with a DWI is not a youthful indiscretion. What was he doing at that time anyway?

http://articles.cnn.com/2000-11-02/politics/bush.dui_1_arrest-from-news-reports-george-w-bush-kennebunkport-police?_s=PM:ALLPOLITICS
FYI: This is becoming a common tactic nationally wherein the Defense tries anything and everything to discredit the officer. The spin of trying to somehow connect this to POTUS is pretty lame. It happens on any arrest case and slime ball defense attorneys use it as a bargaining chip for a plea deal or dismissal.
New Centurion,
It's not the DUI that is the real kicker...it's that he is an illegal that has been here 22 years and hasn't yet been deported! I'm sure the fact that he is the uncle of the POTUS certainly plays into the "fairness" issue with the way illegals are deported.
He's been fighting deportation since 1989, when Obama was maybe 29 years old. Obama has only been President since 2009.
You know Centurion I'm not anti authority, I'm not anti cop and I've never been arrested in my 65 years. But you're not pulling the wool over my eyes. Most cops are not bad cops but when one is he is seldom just "a little bit bad". You cops cover for bad cops which makes you just as bad as the bad one. You need to butt out of this one. A cop without a drivers license shouldn't be out there making value judgements on others. Those who are penalized and have power often misuse that power to create the same problems for others. Cops have a responsibility greater than that of an average citizen and this cop is a problem cop. Now cover some more for him. Prove which side you are on. Public Safety or you just one of the bad ones?
Whatever JK. Obama wasn't even a Senator when this half uncle started fighting deportation. Let's see. 3 years for Obama, 8 years for Bush, 8 years for Clinton, well hmmmm...must be the First Bush who caused this problem. Like any president causes this kind of problem. Wow. You Obama haters are just unbelievable. I didn't vote for him but I will next time just because I'm sick to death of you right wing racists.
Ditto...Dittto...Dittto...Ditttto !
This is how we get presidents like BHO; the expression above makes me think of a third grade kids logic, "you screwed up so I will too" to get even. And the scary part is that you vote.
Robert,
First, My comment about the immigration status of his uncle was meant that I'm sure his immigration status has been brought up to Obama WHILE he's been POTUS and I'm certain that his advisors would elude that people would think that he is or is not somehow playing favorites with his family.
Second, you know the ONLY people on here that use the race card are Obama supporters. Anytime someone criticizes Obama, they are automatically called a "racist". I frankly could care less if he was purple, green, or striped...YOU are the one that is the racist in putting up race boundries between people. When will you grow up and realize that people have moved past the issue of a person's skin color...In fact, you really are no better than other less civilized people (on both side of the political spectrum) that would insult a person about his race.
Here is your homework for the weekend...GROW UP!
JK
His immigration started long way before President even dreamed to be a president. He actually deported more Illegals then All Bushes combined. You really expect him to kick his uncle out? Really? would you kick your uncle out? or help if you could? it is family, see that problems with American this days, nobody cares about anybody and even family values down the drain
maksim,
What about the rule of law?? What about caring about the rule of law? And I would expect that Obama's uncle be given the same due diligence and if found that his claim of immigration status is proven false then he should be deported and would expect Obama to enforce such deportation.
politics aside, taking the names out of this, how is the officer's record relevant? Even if the cop was in a dui the last night the fact of the matter is that the accused blew nearly twice the legal limit. case closed.
Do your thing Barry...Chicago style. oh by the way...you have a country to run besides your non-stop campaigning and now tampering with the Mass justice system. Just sick your "dog" on it, Eric Holder, and get back to work please.
Okay Beev, How exactly is the President "...tampering with the Mass justice system"?
oh gee are you that dumb cmon please hes illeagal no questions asked deport him
His legality was not what i was responding to. I don't care if they deport him, send him to jail, whatever the legal system decides. The question was how is the president tampering with the Mass justice system. You can say I'm dumb if that makes you feel superior, or you can respond to the question if you so choose. So, if I am dumb, how come you didn't understand that I was asking Beev how the President was tampering with the legal system, not whether or not a person should be deported?
Then SpokaneWa, how do you know that he's not. I mean, he came right out and called the cop stupid, that handcuffed a professor friend of his. Then called the cop to Washington, so he could talk to him about the cuffs! You don't think for one minute, that he didn't call the D. A. in Mass. on this? I would lean towards him calling. How about you?
Not to worry folks - he's 67 years old and hasn't figured it out yet ....he'll be back in court for something else...lol
Give me a friggen break...in America under the statutes of estate entiltelments and Succession Amendment .
These two people are not even related !!!
A second uncle is like your dad's brother' cousen one (wedding removed) removed.
in other words your dad's half brother had a cousen that got arrested...and he's related to you....How ???
...except maybe in Utah?
Dont get me started....LMAO reading your reply!!
Utah...can you say.."Mitt Romney anchor baby from Utah" ?
read this tidbit!
+++ +++
Noooo... a half uncle would be a parent's half brother not the cousin of his half brother. No where does it say that this man is his second uncle. It says that he is his half uncle.
...and because that distant relationship is relevant to Fox News (as a useful slander), and relevant to those whom learn most of what they "know" by watching Fox News. This is a big story on Fox News.
Whatever can be used by Fox News to discredit this president will be used, regardless of truth, facts or credibility. Innuendo is the standard, and more than adequate for Fox News.
Uh, this was reported by MSNBC and not by FOX remember?
You must be a Liberal trying to spin things again.
Still not as embarrassing as a president's brother selling Billy Beer.
REPLY: Really? Not reported by Fox? Are you serious?
Who's doing the spinning and practicing denialism here, mister 'Doubter'?

FOX NEWS: Romney Says He Would Deport Obama's Uncle
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/12/21/romney-says-would-deport-obamas-uncle/
"...(Obama) was initially held without bail on a detainer from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials on allegations he violated an order to return Kenya issued 20 years ago but has since been released"
Agree that the Officer's driving record should have no impact upon this particular case. However, I feel more spotlight does need to be placed upon Police in general, after all, we know that had this been an off-duty officer drinking and driving, he would've been let go. That's a separate issue entirely though, and as I said, should have no bearing upon someone who blew 0.14 while operating a vehicle.
I'm curious how Onyango Obama has been an 'alleged' illegal immigrant for the last 23 years! One way or another, that should have been established and dealt with more than 22 years ago. Assuming he's legal, the US has the right to rescind residency based on criminal behavior. Drunk driving is criminal and, quite frankly, he's lucky he didn't kill someone driving drunk.
Isn't this guy a pseudo-celebrity and thus above the law?
So much for our president leading by example........ oh wait he is leading by example. He's showing that when someone acquires power they are free to abuse it at will and be immune to the law!
So, are you also responsible for all your relatives? I guess in your world if a half-uncle does something illegal you will take responsibility for it?
why is he not being deported? He is not legal, why did he not get his nephew to assist becoming legal years ago. Neither respects the law and this is proof. LOCK HIM UP!
IF you find yourself reading this article and are legitimately interested in the story; Eff you and the worthless group to which you are affiliated.
WHAT IS A HALF-UNCLE first of all? its not like this is Jimmy Carter's BROTHER peeing in an airport.. IS this the only news you can lean on in attempts to rile people up in an anti-Obama lather? Well, it is the USA so good choice. I'm sure there are enough idiots out there to hinge something ignorant to a half uncle story. I dont even know who or what a "half-uncle" of mine IS.. I guess more than a few of you do.. GOOoo West Virginia (LOL.. )
You read it and took the time to comment on it so by your words you are worthless.
He may be a semi celebrity but ALL COPS act like THEY are above the law and the corrupt (and i use the word loosely).."justice" system allows it. We sheeple are only good as income generators for the cities. If the cop doesnt have a license or even if it is flagged for non renewal..he shouldnt be driving a city vehicle..PERIOD...that makes it a bad stop regardless of the guilt.
Sorry dimwit. He HAS a license and is legal to operate a vehicle. Try READING first if you are at all capable of that feat.
Sorry R scalzo..I was busy with my face between your mothers legs. mmm mmmm good.
Yea... illegally obtained License ..since he is a Illegal and has a Fake or Stolen Social Security Number!
As for ..
The story clearly states the Police officer Had a License! ....
http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/8830-presidents-illegal-alien-uncle-used-false-documents-to-evade-deportation
How do you Blow a .14 and have an illegal License and Social Security Card and Plead INNOCENT!
Really Urban? A crude remark about someone's mother is the only way you know how to repsond when someone disagrees with you? Just my opinion but that is pretty darn pathetic.
See his comment before you reply to mine.
Dont you know the elitist nubian and his family are above the law?... : o
Is this really a surprise to anyone? This is a typical response to all facts on any issue. And this putz is an Obama through and through. And he is just another law buster as is his Aunt, his nephew and his wife and him as well.
Who will apologize, who will provide restitution for all of the thefts of money, resources and use of the Air Force 1 taxi?
Certainly not Obama, not his wide beamed wife or his relatives. Certainly not his mother in law and co president Marion. Not his pal Valerie Jarrett, not the DNC it will be you the dude holding the bag (empty by the way
Yep... you be the bag holder. Face it you chose a loser and this loser used your money to gamble..
OBAMA does what he wants his illegal brother and aunt should get a boot in the ass and kicked out of this country and i think obama should have to pay back every red cent they recieved while staying in our country illeagally.this case would be different if his uncle killed someone, this guy need to go back to his mud hut with his aunt, were all tired of giving illegals what they want. that was a campaign promise of obama to handle immigration but how can he do that when he needs all there votes KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK OBBUMMER
The rest of us cry foul on egregious repeat DUI drivers. First time DUI can be discouraged from becoming repeat offenders with mandatory jail time and a hefty fine imposed on the first offense.
He has been an illegal alien since 89 with a deportation order. Why is he still here? For the same reason he'll probably walk on the DUI, because his nephew is the president. His aunt was here illegally and even got into public housing with an order for her arrest. How did she get into public housing, with her nephews name that's how.Our elderly citizens who paid taxes their entire life can't get in but an illegal alien can. Just like Obama wants to be able to combine parts of the government. He just wants power so he can act as he pleases without the say of the senate or congress. It's all about power. And like the same way his not born in the US ass got elected as president. It's all in who you know.
I think Congress blew into the machine and is just trying to blame the Presidents uncle, and using this rouge cop to do it. Bet the cop didn't even have a car! Oh! Sorry that was 0.14 not 14.0. my mistake
doesnt change the fact that he is a ILLEGAL little bubba
True Lou,
I guess Bush, Clinton, or Bush II should have deported him years ago....
Doesn't change the fact that the Presidents order to the head of HLS was an illegal order to only deport major illegal aliens and not all aliens that are in this Country, yet he still holds office. It was against his Conistitual authority as President to give that order and against the head of homeland security to carry it out. The Attorney General of the United States should have notified him and Congress should have started impeachment against him when he did not order the deportation of all illegals. It is known as assisting in harboring within the boarders of the US.
Yes, it's all Obama, since we know there were not any illegals in this country before he got into office. I know you won't believe this because you have your agenda, but the order given by the president does not allow people to stay here illegally. As a manager, he must determine a starting point since deporting, what is it, 20 million or something, all at once is an unmanageable task. I am sure if you have a plan on how to accomplish this mass deportation you speak of the administration would love to hear your ideas.
They did not come out and give an ORDER, like Obama did, they just let it happen, big difference. This you have a President telling a government, several government agencies not to uphold the law of the land and he did it in public and made it policy. The biggest problem is not mass deportation it is now that a crime has been committed no law can be changed or passed to absolved the criminal or the crime so now no law can be pass legally to change the immigration laws.
