Trump’s DHS Team Kills Barack Obama Amnesty Program

59

So much for DAPA, the amnesty program put forth by Barack Obama that would have given free U.S. access to roughly four million illegals.

The Department of Homeland Security secretary, John Kelly, killed the program. Ding-dong, the DAPA witch is dead. Finally.

John Kelly, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, gave the formal boot to DAPA, Barack Obama’s amnesty package for roughly four million illegals.

DAPA was already frozen by courts in 2016. But President Donald Trump had vowed from the campaign trail to tighten borders and reel back Obama’s amnesty visions — and Kelly just announced a major White House initiative toward that end.

Story continues below advertisement

From Breitbart:

“On June 15, Department of Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly, after consulting with the Attorney General [Jeff Sessions], signed a memorandum rescinding the November 20, 2014 memorandum that created the program known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (“DAPA”) because there is no credible path forward [in the courts] to litigate the currently enjoined policy.”

DAPA was loved by Democrats and special rights’ groups.

Its creation came in 2014, as a way Obama could thwart voter will.

But backlash was quick. In the next election, Republicans picked up 10 Senate seats, for the majority.

DAPA was never made into law.

From Breitbart again:

“[It] consisted of Oval Office instructions to deputies that they should not enforce immigration laws against illegal aliens who had children in the United States, sometimes called “anchor babies,” but must instead award work permits to the roughly 4 million illegal-alien parents.

“Obama’s DAPA promise of work permits for illegals was quickly blocked by a Texas-based judge, Andre Hanen, amid a lawsuit by a coalition of Governors and Attorneys General. The national GOP played little part in the lawsuit, titled United States v. Texas. The judge’s order later was backed by a Supreme Court decision in June 2016, in which all four of the Democratic-appointed judges supported Obama’s Oval Office amnesty.

“Since November, the Texas judge and agency officials have been waiting to see if Trump’s administration would defend Obama’s amnesty in court.”

Guess not.

great news, more room for muslims. muslims are LEGAL immigrants and they have RIGHTS. muslims can’t be deported because their religion islam is protected by the US constitution. as you write islamophobic comments, more muslims refugees keep entering USA. there are many millions of muslims in USA now, and growing. muslims are not stinking illegal mexicans you make to clean your bathrooms and then deport. Islam is in USA to stay. coexistance and integration are the key words. one morning you will wake up with the prettiest sound for many, the muslims calling from their minarets and it will be normal then.

Correct. And any so-called “call to prayer” from a minaret iis likely to lead to the unexplainable collapse of said minaret, just like the twin towers (and in remembrance of them).

The “call to prayer” is noise pollution, pure and simple, imposed on entire populations for the alleged religious needs of a tiny minority. I suggest you move next to one of these minarets and get awaken at 5:00 am every day, and we’ll see how long you put up with it.

Our Constitution BANS MUSLIMS from even entering our country! Immigrants are BANNED from having any rights other than civil and religious rights until they become American citizens. All privileges that do not extend to all American citizens equally are BANNED by our Constitution. Just because corrupt politicians and bureaucrats violate our Constitution, does NOT negate it. Muslims have slithered into our country like the cockroaches they are and ALL of them should be thrown out.

Perhaps that is your vision for utopia. Ain’t going to happen in the U.S. Before the sound of muslims calling to other muslims to prayer happens, the Mexicans will tear down those minarets, etc. and use them to beat every living muslim within a ten mile radius. So, go ahead and try that, as*hole.

We know how Trump is having hard time even stopping new jihadis from just 7 countries , you think its easy to deport them enmasse ?

If at least the terrorists who have killed be deported along with their supporters that will send a message that they will not be tolerated.

Then we have Left/liberal Media/Judges/politicians who get paid to shill for Islam even at cost of American security like Dems selling out on Iran nuke deal http://tinyurl.com/mcake4d

All Lobbying for muslim countries should be stopped

#DACA is still illegal for same reason 5th Circuit said #DAPA was illegal. Illegal aliens must go home. Get in front line.

Currently there is a ten year penalty before getting into front line. “Amnesty” (for DACA recipients) could be to adjust it to a two to five year penalty delay. — before getting into front line.

They take, take, take from the host country wherever they are. Then complain because they aren’t getting enough, or are discriminated against. F*ck ’em.

This is a good and necessary move, using the rule of law as it should be, regarding the status of those continually breaking our laws. We’ll have to see if genuine follow-through happens with the border wall (both physical and virtual), along with increased manning of the border, for without that, all other legislation will be pretty much meaningless. If a patient is losing massive amounts of blood, the first order of business is to stop the bleeding. In the same manner, in order to begin repairing the damage that illegal immigration is doing to the nation, the bleeding at the border has to be one of the first things that is remedied, which then needs to be followed up with enforcement of the immigration laws currently on the books.

So why did the DHS order the Border Control to ‘negotiate’ with and not arrest illegals in Arizona’s camp? Also:
On June 15, Department of Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly, after consulting with the Attorney General, signed a memorandum rescinding the November 20, 2014 memorandum that created the program known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (“DAPA”) because there is no credible path forward to litigate the currently enjoined policy.

The rescinded memo purported to provide a path for illegal aliens with a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident child to be considered for deferred action. To be considered for deferred action, an alien was required to satisfy six criteria:

(1) as of November 20, 2014, be the parent of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident;

(2) have continuously resided here since before January 1, 2010;

(3) have been physically present here on November 20, 2014, and when applying for relief;

(4) have no lawful immigration status on that date;

(5) not fall within the Secretary’s enforcement priorities; and

(6) “present no other factors that, in the exercise of discretion, make [ ] the grant of deferred action inappropriate.”

Prior to implementation of DAPA, twenty-six states challenged the policies established in the DAPA memorandum in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The district court enjoined implementation of the DAPA memorandum, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court’s decision, and the Supreme Court allowed the district court’s injunction to remain in place.

The rescinded policy also provided expanded work authorization for recipients under the DACA program for three years versus two years. This policy was also enjoined nationwide and has now been rescinded.

The June 15, 2012 memorandum that created the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program will remain in effect.

Why can’t the same thing be done with unwanted immigrants aka “refugees”?

The president has the right to just close:

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), a program of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), an office within the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), created with the passing of the United States Refugee Act of 1980 (Public Law 96-212). See wikipedia: “Office of Refugee Resettlement”

by transferring all of its employees to another area of the government.

No more Office of Refugee Resettlement = No more refugees.
