Bush Ordered Immigration Enforcement Freeze Until After Election

Michelle Malkin claims in her column today that President Bush ordered ICE to halt all enforcement and deportations until after the election. According to her sources he ordered a 72-hour cease-and-desist order to all fugitive apprehension teams — allegedly to spare Obama embarrassment over his illegal alien fugitive aunt, Zeituni Onyango.

According to my sources, the Bush administration issued a 72-hour
cease-and-desist order to all fugitive apprehension teams to spare
Obama embarrassment over his Kenyan half-aunt, Zeituni Onyango. The Associated Press had reported on Nov. 1 that Onyango was a deportation evader – one of an estimated 700,000 illegal alien absconders
who have ignored orders from immigration judges to leave the country.
The wire report mentioned that the Department of Homeland Security
distributed “an unusual nationwide directive within Immigrations and
Customs Enforcement requiring any deportations prior to Tuesday’s
election to be approved at least at the level of ICE regional
directors.”

You just know the left would have been shrill in their condemnation if god forbid auntie Zeituni would’ve been deported right before the election. He would have been accused of trying to throw the election by creating a scandal for Obama at the last minute. Of course, he’s been accused of everything imaginable by the left throughout his two terms — so would it have really mattered now?
