    State Dept: Illegal Aliens Have Applied to Bring 290 of Their Children to U.S.

    State Dept: Illegal Aliens Have Applied to Bring 290 of Their Children to U.S.


    March 25, 2015 - 4:35 PM

    (CNSNews.com) -- While some of President Barack Obama’s unilateral amnesty programs are still awaiting the green light from the courts before being implemented, others are moving full-steam ahead, including the president’s Central American Minors Refugee/Parole (CAM) Program, which allows certain illegal aliens from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras to petition for their children still living in these three countries to be brought to the United States.

    As of March 23, 248 cases representing 290 individuals had been filed for consideration in the CAM program since the federal government first began accepting applications on Dec. 1 of last year, a State Department official told CNSNews.com.

    As of Feb. 9, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services had only received 25 applications for the CAM, according to a USCIS official at the time. In the six weeks since then, that number has increased by nearly ten times.

    Among the total 290 individuals now applying for the program, 219 are from El Salvador, 60 are from Honduras and 10 are from Guatemala, the State Department spokesperson said.

    Speaking on background, the spokesperson added that “as of today, no applications have yet been approved,” but that “initial interviews have been conducted for 160 individuals but other steps remain.”

    The spokesperson added that “processing is projected to take between 8-12 months.”

    The USCIS website describes the CAM program as a “safe, legal and orderly alternative to the dangerous journey that some children are currently undertaking to the United States.” Potential applicants can include illegal aliens who have been granted deferred action, deferred enforced departure or have been granted “withholding of removal.”

    The State Department also stated in the announcement of the programin November that “under certain circumstances, if the second parent resides with the child in the home country and is currently married to the lawfully present parent in the United States, the second parent may be added to the child’s petition and considered for refugee status, and if denied refugee status, for parole.”

    The day the CAM program was announced, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) issued a press release calling the initiative a “government-sanctioned border surge” that would “open Pandora’s box” and encourage even more illegal aliens to come to the United States or overstay their visas in hopes of being granted deferred action.

    “The policy announced by the Obama Administration today is simply a government-sanctioned border surge,” Goodlatte said in a press release at the time.

    “Under this abusive new policy, unlawful immigrants in the United States, once they are granted executive amnesty by the President, can now rely on the Obama Administration to bring their child, and possibly their spouse, who are in Central America to our country,” he continued.

    “Rather than take the steps necessary to end the crisis at the border, the Obama Administration perpetuates it by abusing a legal tool meant to be used sparingly to bring people to the United States and instead applying it to the masses in Central America,” Goodlatte added.If President Obama’s Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) Program is cleared by the courts and implemented, up to five million more illegal aliens could be granted “deferred action” status and become be eligible for CAM consideration. The DAPA program is currently being blocked by a court injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen on Feb. 17.

    Other parents who may qualify for CAM benefits are permanent residents, parolees and those under Temporary Protected Status.
    CNSNews.com asked the State Department for a breakdown of applicants according to the parents’ legal statuses. The spokesperson said that “data broken out by parental status is not currently available.”

    If a child is accepted into the program, he or she will be granted “refugee” status in the United States, according to a USCIS spokesperson. The child can then "adjust" their status to Permanent Resident Alien after one year, and apply for citizenship status after five.

    “The child who is approved under the CAM Program is placed in refugee status,” the spokesperson explained. “Approved refugees will be eligible for the same support provided to all refugees resettled in the United States, including assignment to a resettlement agency that will assist with reception and placement, and assistance registering children in school.

    “Refugees remain in that status for 12 months,” the spokesperson added. “After 12 months, they are required to adjust their status to that of Permanent Resident Alien. They can apply for citizenship after having been resident in the United States for five years.”

    Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, refugee status is reserved for people fleeing their home country due to “persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.”

    According to USCIS, children who are not granted refugee status under the CAM program will be considered on a “case-by-case” basis for parole into the United States,

    Under Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, parole can be granted temporarily to certain individuals for “urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit.”

    NO AMNESTY

    Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.

    Well now that all needs to be brought to an end. There is no "urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit" to the United States for these types of entries into our country.

    I'd like to work on approving these. My supplies would not cost government a bunch, my supplies would consist of a large red self-inking rubber stamp, "DENIED." A dollar for me per application would be a nice gesture, but if not.....well, I'd volunteer.

    kevinsdad! You have hit upon a great idea! Instead of having "volunteers" file poor people's income taxes for the IRS, we should have volunteers process deportation orders and requests for stays for DHS! Who better to do it than the American citizens for whom the laws were passed and are there to protect?! We can set-up Citizen Immigration Jury Boards in every county in America, staff them with volunteers, hold the hearings at night and on weekends, so it doesn't interfere with most Americans day jobs, and get through this paperwork hassle in no time at all at virtually no cost at all! Then we can have a Citizen Alien Bouncer Escort Service, all volunteer as well, volunteers deputized by the county sheriff's departments, to bounce them right on out of the country or confirm their departures on non-stop modes of transport, and most of them would be in their home countries by lunch or supper the next day, heck the vast majority would be there in time for breakfast.

    Judy, what are our chances of getting Obama to appoint you and I as National Coordinators, No that is not right, National Facilitators (I don't think we would waste time on this) of your idea?

    I think we need to present the idea to members of Congress. Jeff Sessions, Trey Gowdy, Marsha Blackburn, Steve King, Bob Goodlatte, and others. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. I've suggested running them through Magistrate Courts at the local level, but there's no reason to even do that unless there's a bond, and then they would be the right ones to handle that, since they're already set up for it. We need to sell all the Governors on it, and County Sheriffs, most of whom would love the idea.

    The Federal government has backed itself into a corner, because the US Constitution does not give them any authority to admit immigrants, only the authority after 1808 to prohibit them. So their only authority to admit immigrants comes from Congress, not the Constitution, and Congress has used the Commerce and Foreign Policy Clauses to defend this authority they've given to the Executive Branch which is a deep, far and wide expansion of Executive Branch authority with regards to immigration under the US Constitution.

    At this point, there's more than ample evidence to demonstrate that for decades now the authority given to the Executive Branch violates the whole purpose and intent of the Commerce and Foreign Policy Clauses of the United States Constitution, because the purpose of the Commerce clause is to improve commerce in the US for the benefit of we the people of the United States and our posterity, not harm US. And the harm is clear. And the purpose of the Foreign Policy Clause is to ensure good relations between our country and others, and this immigration problem is doing quite the opposite, because of the harm to our country and citizens these immigration policies are causing, which fosters bad relations between the countries instead of good relations.

    Furthermore, tens of millions of immigrants and their families who are on welfare is not commerce at all, it's welfare, a public cost, leading to higher taxes and/or public debt which adversely affects our commerce due to the cost and burdens of it paid for by businesses, consumers and taxpayers alive now and on those for generations to come. So as of today, there's no question that present immigration policy is anti-commerce, anti-foreign policy, anti-American, and anti-United States, which means it's wholly in its entirety from top to bottom, A to Z, unconstitutional.

    Finally, when the viability of a practice, law or policy is argued under the Commerce Clause, then the law or policy would be handled by the Commerce Department, not the Department of Homeland Security, just as if such is argued under the Foreign Policy Clause, it would be handled by the State Department, not the Department of Homeland Security. So the mere fact that immigration is now handled by the Department of Homeland Security should demonstrate even to the most dense and dim-witted among US, that immigration is a threat to the national security of the United States, and not a matter of promoting commerce or improving international relations between the citizens of our country and those of others, but quite the opposite.

    It's time for Americans to do the job the Feds won't do, and the more I think about our idea, the more viable it is, because under the US Constitution, immigration is a States Right, with the only role of the federal government being prohibit it or tax it. Some point to the naturalization clause, which has nothing to do with immigration, it has to do with foreign nationals who have been admitted by the states who want to become citizens of the United States, and the Constitution established the role of the federal government to simply come up with a uniform plan and code for naturalization so that all the states followed the same system so that citizenship once achieved was equal for all.

    To my knowledge, the US Constitution has never been amended to create a new power for the Executive Branch or Congress to flood our nation with foreign persons against the will of the states and the citizens of the United States who cause public debt, unemployment, underemployment, deflated wages and salaries, crime, discontent, disrupt the domestic tranquility, and threaten the national security of the United States.

    Americans, and I mean all Americans, need to remember that it was the Democratic Party that fought the end of slavery in the United States, it was the Democratic Party that fought the US Civil Rights Act for 99 years, and the US Voting Rights Act for 100 years. It was the Democratic Party who initiated a permanent income tax and over time has pushed our industries out of the country,forced over $14 Trillion in capital out of the country, and saddled our nation with $18 trillion in unpaid national debt. It was the Democratic Party who initiated the imbalanced free trade scheme, the same year it initiated the mandatory income tax to pay for the shortfall. It was the Democratic Party that initiated the socialist dream of robbing from one who earned it to give it to one who didn't. It was the Democratic Party who initiated a government run Obama Care. It was the Democratic Party who initiated gun control, and so on and so forth.

    Republicans have spent their entire history fighting against all of this, we've won some and lost some. It's time for all Republicans to get back to our roots, refresh or learn the principles of our Grand Ole Party, and stick to them like Delta mud on a boot. And none of these principles have anything to do with someone's religion, none at all. These are all social and fiscal issues that have absolutely nothing to do with Liberty University or the Family Research Council or Evangelicals, so I hope all the candidates chasing votes remember that the Real Republicans are watching every move you make, every statement you've uttered, every word you've written, and that your political future depends on US, the base of the Republican Party, which is not just registered Republicans, but independents and those who are unaffiliated who more often than not support our candidates, and even some Democrats, who all vote with US when we're doing big things that are the right things for our country, but who will also drop us like a hot potato when we dare to cross the line into their natural rights, individual liberties and personal freedoms.
