Breaking: Terry McAuliffe says DACA and 700,000 dreamers here to stay

If Terry McAuliffe is right, Reince Priebus just won a key victory against Stephen Bannon in the immigration debate raging inside the White House.

If Governor Terry McAuliffe is right, Reince Priebus just won a key victory against Stephen Bannon in theimmigration debate raging inside the White House.

After meeting with the Trump administration, reporters asked the governor if DACA would soon get the axe. McAuliffe's answer was definitive: "absolutely not." Score one for Priebus, who's reportedly been championing a softer line on the issue.

Since taking the oath of office, President Trump has appeared to soften on the issue. Not long ago, he used to love railing against illegal immigration, including the young undocumented immigrants protected from deportation by DACA. Apparently just a big softie, Trump now says he's sympathetic to the plight of "these incredible kids."


The Obama-era program, which stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, shields young immigrants from deportation. According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, over 700,000 applications have been approved since June 2016.




Supporters say it's the only fair policy for children brought to this country by their parents. Opponents call it a form of amnesty. And McAuliffe says it's here to stay.


While the White House hasn't officially ruled out ending the program, McAuliffe says that Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly "reiterated [the administration's] support for the dreamers here in this country and that the policy will continue."


That's news that will likely anger many in Trump's base, like those who hail from Breitbart News and NumbersUSA, who want to see a decrease in overall immigration. It's also a sign that Priebus has managed to soften the president's hard edge.

So much for the poem, "The Snake." The President only learned part of the lesson.

Well, I'm not sure this is reliable or in the right context or accurate. No one expected Trump to deport DACA's First. We always knew he would deport them last unless individually they were in those high priority groups, visa overstays, welfare users, criminals or hanging out with criminals, and "criminal" under Trump is a very broad range of laws being broken.

Keep demanding END DACA NOW. Trump hasn't issued the orders or a statement yet.

preibus and ryan are running the show and trump agreed to this before election, otherwise they would have continued the pull down of trump that was happening everyday from his own party. preibus and ryan couldn't keep their mouth's shut in public talk either and we all heard the contradictions that went unanswered/uncorrected by trump.

No we didn't expect him to deport the DACA illegals first, but we sure as hell expected him to keep his promise to end the program on day 1 of his presidency.

VIRGINIA GOVERNOR: TRUMP ADMINISTRATION WON’T GO AFTER DREAMERS



Emily Cadei


February 27, 2017

The Trump administration is not going to go after so-called Dreamers, the undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children. That was the unequivocal message Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe said he got from the homeland security secretary, General John Kelly, this weekend.


“My indication from General Kelly was absolutely not,” McAuliffe told reporters Monday when asked about whether the White House plans to end the program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which has allowed millions of Dreamers to stay in the country legally. The Democratic governor, who is chairman of the National Governors Association, said he met with Kelly for nearly an hour on Sunday and expressed confidence that “that is a policy that they won’t be pursuing.”


Speaking at a press conference on Capitol Hill with fellow governors and senators, McAuliffe also said that Kelly had “emphatically assured me that any legal person in this country will not be deported, not one single one. The only individuals that they are going after are those that are here illegally and have been involved in a criminal enterprise.” And he said Kelly promised that “there will be no random ICE stops on the streets of America.” (McAuliffe was using the acronym for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which is within the Department of Homeland Security.)


McAuliffe is part of a delegation of 46 governors in Washington for the National Governors Association’s annual winter meeting. In addition to their gathering with fellow governors and state officials over the weekend, the governors dined at the White House Sunday evening and met with the president and other White House officials Monday morning. McAuliffe said he voiced his concerns about Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts to the president.


“I did mention to the president last night that there has been a chilling effect, that people are scared in this country today, people who are legal residents,” McAuliffe recounted Monday. “I explained to him what General Kelly had said. He agreed.”


During the 2016 campaign, Trump promised to repeal DACA and its successor, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, which were enacted through executive orders by President Barack Obama and granted legal status to Dreamers and their relatives. But since winning the election, the Republican real estate mogul has backed away from that rhetoric. While he has issued tough orders temporarily barring immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries and stepping up deportations of undocumented immigrants within the United States, the president has also expressed sympathy for the Dreamers.


“To me, it’s one of the most difficult subjects I have, because you have these incredible kids,” Trump said at last week’s press conference. Nonetheless, The Washington Post reported Sundaythat immigrant advocates have urged eligible DACA recipients who have not yet enrolled to do so, due to deportation fears.


McAuliffe said he urged Trump on Sunday to make a public statement reassuring immigrants they are not at risk of being rounded up and deported unless they have criminal records. “I said, ‘Well, Mr. President, I hope that you can get out there and get that message out because that is not the message…that the people in Virginia are feeling today. They are scared.’” The tone of his conversation with the president, McAuliffe added, was “very positive.”

I don't believe this was all agreed upon before the election. However, I do believe Preibus and Ryan are two of the primary reasons he didn't keep his promise. I also believe his little talk with Obama during the turnover has something to do with it too. That's just my opinion.

I'm one of the rare people here I guess that did not expect him to end the DACA 2012 program day one because it wasn't part of the Texas 26 state lawsuit. In fact the court ruled specifically that the DACA 2012 program would remain intact and was NOT part of the temporary injunction. Yes, the Judge took it upon himself to declare this in his ruling which was upheld by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

I would like for Trump to end it now. I want Trump to end it now, phase it out quickly or stop issuing permits and let those already out there expire, so that by March 2019 there are no unexpired DACA work permits floating around our country.

Illegal aliens put ahead of and preferred before Americans again if DACA recipients get amnesty. It isn't "Hire American" if illegal aliens take jobs. More states will feel a need to give in state tuition. They will get more taxpayer monies. More anchor babies for years to come through DACA illegal aliens that will number in the millions. They will vote.

It isn't 700,000, it is over 840,000 and growing every day that President Trump gives amnesty.

Governor Says Trump Administration Promised They Will Only Deport Criminals, Won’t Undo DACA



Terry McAuliffe, chairman of the National Governors Association, said that Homeland Security chief John Kelly promised the administration would only target criminals for deportation, would not institute random spot checks and would not end DACA.

February 27, 2017

WASHINGTON — The chairman of the National Governors Association says the Trump administration promised only criminals will be deported and ICE agents will not perform random spot checks for people living in the United States illegally.

As the Department of Homeland Security moves ahead with plans to hire thousands of new agents and take a more aggressive approach to deportation, 46 governors came to Washington over the past three days to meet their federal colleagues for the NGA’s winter meeting.


Virginia’s Democratic governor Terry McAuliffe, who is chair of the group, said he was “emphatically” assured by Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly that only people involved in criminal enterprises will be targeted for deportation.

He said Kelly also assured him that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents will not start conducting random spot checks of individuals to see if they are in the country legally.


McAuliffe, a strong supporter and longtime friend of the Clintons, said he had dinner with President Trump Sunday evening and brought up the same issues. While he was more vague in describing that conversation, he said Trump made similar assurances.

“I have been very bothered. There were instances in Virginia where people had walked out of a church, a hypothermia center, and were stopped by ICE agents,” said McAuliffe. “Is the new standard in America that we are just randomly going to stop individuals?”

He also said Secretary Kelly promised the administration would “absolutely not” undo DACA, the Obama White House’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which protects children brought illegally to the country from deportation. McAuliffe said he urged Kelly to spread this message to the American people to counteract a “chilling effect” that had taken hold.

“If indeed what Gen. Kelly has indicated today, that most people are fine, they will not be touched, then he needs to convey that to the American public because you can’t just continue to say ‘we are deporting the bad guys,” he said.

On Monday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said a new immigration ban executive order would be coming later this week to replace the January 27 order that has been challenged in court.
Trump is addressing a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night and Spicer told reporters “you will hear a lot about immigration.”

Yep, I'm about as red between the ears as a person can get! :-x

If only Kris Kobach was sitting at Homeland Security. No wonder General Kelly objected to him being involved. Kelly was quick to clarify no mass deportations and no military.

There seems to be too many amnesty lovers in important positions. Alexander Acosta is such a terrible choice for Labor Secretary.


Mick Mulvaney signs off on Executive Orders. He mocked Steve King and supports amnesty.

With up to 30 million illegal aliens here and a target of possibly 2 million criminals for deportation, we are apparently going to have many staying.

It would seem that trump knew he would not be able to do what he was saying but the crowds ATE IT UP & got him elected. He is a showman, he loves the crowds/attention, still holding rallys. Remember " I can be any way I want to be" or similar words leak? He was being pressured to conform to the globalists which ryan obviously is, mcconnell too and many more. He knew he would have to play ball with them or he would not be elected. It was apparent something was going awry when contradictions were spoken and those people were chosen for positions.

Only criminals will go - do not be surprised if daca AND dapa with all their anchor babies stay and continue overbreeding. The idea that people are scared is a positive for fighting illegal immigration - we want them to leave. Where is the talk of mandating E-verify for every job - there is none. Are they serious @ eliminating illegals or just shooting their mouth off to appease Americans that want results?

Meanwhile they have the power now to toxic the country up for dirty energy for so called jobs when illegals hold millions of jobs? The expansion of yesterday's dirty energy is for the big boys pockets$$$$ - remove regulations that protect our land, air, water FOR MORE PROFITS! Aside from the rich business men, many, many politicians have a good deal of stock in those industries.

Where is trump's, kelly's talk of the COSTS $$$ to us for having illegals here breeding galore? California released that 17% of their budget goes to illegals and that is just one state - how much is federally funded? Why should people have to pay state or federal taxes to be given for illegals use?

Trump says he will treat Dreamers 'with heart'

Kelly: No Use of US Military to Enforce Immigration, No Mass Deportations

To see the breakdown of numbers for DACA recipients, the state breakdown, the country breakdown, follow this link:

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/...y2016_qtr3.pdf

DREAMERs get to stay.

Anchor babies all get to stay.

Will all of their parents will get to stay too?

Looks like it might be only criminal illegal aliens will deported. All others will get to stay, unfortunately. Democrats, CoC and RINOs will be happy. I hope I'm wrong about this. Otherwise, I'm still waiting for all the deportations Trump promised.

Excellent point, artist. I too was wondering why we aren't hearing more from the administration on the negative effects of illegal immigration. The information was flowing like crazy during the campaign. However, things seemed to have become very quite on the issue as of late.

LOL!!!!

I told you guys, Trump's got this, he's going to get them out of here "quickly and quietly." During the campaign a reporter asked him if he was going to deport all 11 million illegal aliens and Trump said "we don't know how many there are, there may be 20 million or more, there could be 30 million, we don't know." Trump is walking as the reporter is following him and the reporter asks again about deportation and Trump turns his head sideways to glance at the reporter and says "we have to get them all out of here." And the reporter yells "how" and Trump says back over his shoulder "management."

TRUMP'S GOT THIS. He's not going to tell you how, when, where or even who. He's going give you priorities. That's all.

Hey Mr. President, based on my personal experience today, don't forget the US Post Offices that process passports. Big catches there.

During the campaign was then and this is now and I am not holding my breath on those promises - the writing is on the wall. Once again, albeit a lot better than hillary, but will not be as promised but destruction of nature and extreme toxicity WILL advance for $$$$. SURPRISE! Gotcha...

Well, lets don't rush to judgment based on the word of a DemoCrook, a DemKrat Governor of Virginia, and former Chairman of the DNC. Okay? Trump is schoomzing to get his cabinet approved ASAP, gain cooperation from all the Governors behind the Obamacare Repeal and Replace and support his Tax Plan and Infrastructure funding. So maybe DACA's stay for awhile, maybe they don't. No one knows for sure except .... The Trump.

Where is the big banner that should be running across CNN and elsewhere announcing this news? Seems to be an effort to quiet this a bit. The speech tomorrow is supposed to have a portion devoted to immigration. Did the democrat Terry McAuliffe jump ahead of the President or spin and embellish the truth?

I expect he will be talking about what's he done and plans to do on immigration such as:

1. pull funding to sanctuary cities
2. stop catch and release
3. prioritize criminals and lawbreakers, welfare frauds, visa-overstays
4. build the wall, stop the flow, attack the cartels at the border
5. reduce legal immigration
6. improve vetting procedures for new immigrants and refugees
7. revive 287 g and Secure communities
8. turn them around at the border to keep them out before they get in too far
9. rapid deportation for people here less than 2 years instead of 2 weeks
10. hire more ICE agents and more Border Patrol agents on fast-track schedule
11. hire more immigration judges to cure back-logs and expedite hearing process
12. etc., etc. of things he's already done

His new E. O. on immigration travel ban is due out on Wednesday so he might mention that as well. He'll focus on explaining how he's using resources and strategies to get the bad ones out. I expect he'll be quiet on the rest of it, except to say he's enforcing the law to end illegal immigration in the US once and for all.

That is a good list Judy, with many of the previous stated objectives minus ending the amnesty Executive Orders.

Would be fine Judy if it is done quietly but with so many people close to President Trump assuring people that DACA illegal aliens and those who live good lives will not be impacted, it is reasonable to question. General Kelly adds to doubts with his statements.

When Jeff Sessions was senator he proved that the DACA program was flawed.

It all goes back to the President making the promise and breaking it.

McAuliffe: Trump Administration Deportations Prioritize Criminals
Virginia Democrat details conversations with Homeland Security secretary




February 27, 2017




Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe said Monday that the Trump administration has assured him that the targets of deportation efforts are people who have been involved in what he described as a “criminal enterprise.”



McAuliffe, a Democrat, is the chairman of the National Governors Association, which was finishing up meetings in Washington after a weekend gathering. The governors were at the White House for meetings with President Donald Trump after also visiting the executive mansion for a dinner with the president Sunday night.






McAuliffe said he took advantage of Sunday evening’s gathering to express concern about deportation policies. The White House is expected to roll out a revised executive order to address legal concerns with initial guidance.




“I did mention to the president last night that there has been a chilling effect, that people are scared in this country today,” McAuliffe said at a news conference, noting the large number of immigrants who reside and operate small businesses in Northern Virginia.


McAuliffe said he spent almost a full hour Sunday in a private meeting with Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly.


“I said, ‘Can I leave this meeting general — secretary — and say that there will be no deportations of any individuals in the United States of America unless they have been involved in a criminal enterprise?’ He said yes,” McAuliffe said. “Can I walk out and tell the press that we will not have any random stops by ICE agents? He said, ‘Yes, you can go say that.’”


If this is the policy of the current administration, it does not deviate much from the previous one, which prioritized deporting undocumented immigrants who had committed crimes.


McAuliffe also said he received further assurances that the deferred action program benefiting undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children, which was implemented by President Barack Obama, would remain in effect, as the White House has previously indicated.


“I reiterated that conversation to President Trump last night at dinner, and I told the president people are confused about this policy and they are frightened about this policy and you need to clarify it, so that people are not scared in this country,” McAuliffe said. “I think many of the 11 million individuals in this country today, there is a sincere fear that they may be deported. I’ve been told that is not the case.”






“If anyone who is watching this here has instances where that is not being followed, I would like to know, and I have no hesitation picking up the phone and calling the president, the vice president or secretary Kelly,” McAuliffe said.

Terry McAuliffe: John Kelly, DHS secretary, assured me on deportations, ICE stops - Washington Times


David Sherfinski

February 27, 2017


Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe said Monday that he was personally assured by Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly that only illegal immigrants involved in a “criminal enterprise” will be deported from the U.S. under the Trump administration’s policies.


Mr. McAuliffe said Mr. Kelly “emphatically” assured him in a conversation on Sunday that only illegal immigrants who have been involved in a “criminal enterprise” would be deported.


“Secondly, he assured me that there will be no random [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement] stops on the streets of the United States of America,” Mr. McAuliffe told reporters at a National Governors Association press conference.


“I was heartened to hear it,” said Mr. McAuliffe, a Democrat who chairs the NGA. “I want to know if that indeed is not the case that’s going on, but I do appreciate Secretary Kelly.”


“I said, ‘Can I leave this meeting … and say that there will be no deportations of any individuals in the United States of America unless they have been involved in a criminal enterprise?’ He said yes,” Mr. McAuliffe said.


“Can I walk out of this room and tell the press that we will not have any random stops by ICE agents? He said, ‘Yes, you can go say that,’” he said.


A Homeland Security Department spokeswoman said that as a matter of policy, the agency does not comment on the secretary’s private, closed press conversations with elected officials.


But Mr. McAuliffe said he relayed the conversation to President Trump at dinner on Sunday and said people are confused and frightened about the administration’s immigration policy and that the president needed to clarify it.


“I think many of the 11 million individuals in this country today — there is a sincere fear that they may be deported. I have been told it’s not the case,” he said.


Mr. McAuliffe also said the Trump administration’s policies on deportation — putting an emphasis on more serious criminals, while leaving alone for now young illegal immigrant Dreamers — mirror those of the Obama administration.


“It’s the very same standard: You will be deported if you came here illegally and have been involved in a criminal enterprise,” he said.


“People just today don’t feel that second part, and I was assured — and I’m going to keep my eyes open,” he said. “I will take them at their word, but this is something we have to pay a lot of attention to.”


Though illegal immigrants with criminal rap sheets were indeed prioritized under Mr. Obama’s deportation policies and continue to be an emphasis under Mr. Trump, Mr. Obama also took steps to shield some 80 percent of illegal immigrants from the threat of deportation.


Analysts say that universe of people subject to deportation has now expanded under Mr. Trump.


For example, Mr. Trump’s policies expand the “border” area both north and south and give agents more discretion to arrest and deport illegal immigrants in the interior part of the country who might have fallen into a protected class during the Obama administration.

It's still very early in his administration, but if what Kelly is saying pans out, Trump will be just another sell out politician who used illegal immigration to get elected -- and we will NOT forget this in 4 years when he comes begging to us to vote for him again.

The law is the law -- follow it Trump.

I hope you're wrong too, but it does sound like our new President is starting to sound a lot like the old one on who he plans on deporting.

Do you support Trump's Dream Act Amnesty?

No, no American should support "amnesty" for any illegal alien, no matter the reason, sob story, success or failure, or anything else. They all gotta go! Period.

Trump Would Like to See Compromise Immigration Bill

NO WAY. He'll be a one term President and despised by Republicans.

Of course anchor babies stay and they are still being born, these illegal females got 20 more years left to have 10 more - it is all free for them. And the children will have rights to permanent resident their parents - see the picture? Trump is not getting us out of that corner.

He will use his presidency to make more money period. Did he LIE - YES HE DID - YOU HAVE BEEN SNOOKERED! He might secure the border now, tighten things up a bit but all but the criminal we are aware of, will stay. Writing is on the wall. Any move to mandate E-verify for self deportation and take your anchors with you - NO!

Trump has made no move to clarify birthright citizenship either - his move should be to state at least 1 citizen parent RETROACTIVE not just sneak in & plop out children for free on our soil. We pay for years and years for each every one. That is a takeover agenda and trump is not doing a GD thing @ it - he has more important things to do like make money for toxic industries.

What do you think he should do, artist? He could instruct Department of State to stop issuing them passports and Social Security to stop issuing them Social Security Numbers. I know he has the authority to instruct Department of State on the passports, but not sure about Social Security Administration. He could cancel the contract with the Post Offices to process them and force them to go to the local Consulate where their parents could be arrested when they show up for the appointments. He could also tell ICE to go to the Post Offices and arrest them with their parents there.

I'm sure there would be lawsuits filed immediately and temporary injunctions issued by the Democrat Courts.

The best thing would be to pass a law in Congress that ends it, but there are enough traitors in the Senate to block it, including Republicans. Senator Vitter from Louisiana had a bill in the Senate for years and I think Steve King or someone in the House also has a bill, but nothing ever happens on them. Maybe this year at least the House will pass one and at least get it to the Senate. The margin is so small in the Senate, it only takes 2 or 3 to kill it in the Senate. McCain, Graham and Rubio are at least the 3 Republicans who would block it and there may be more. Most Democrats will unite against it, but there might be a few to vote with US to end this travesty, won't know until we try.

I just looked it up and Steve King has re-introduced his bill to end anchor baby citizenship, here is the link:

Rep. Steve King Reintroduces Bill to End Birthright Citizenship

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) re-introduced the Birthright Citizenship Act, H.R. 140, this week that would end the practice of giving automatic citizenship to children born to two illegal-alien parents on U.S. soil. The bill was introduced with 11 cosponsors.

Rep. King issued the following statement after introducing H.R. 140:

A Century ago, it didn’t matter very much that a simple practice began that has now grown into a massive issue of birthright citizenship or the anchor baby agenda,” said King. “When automatic citizenship started being granted to all babies born in the United States, our lawmakers missed the clause in the 14th Amendment that says, ‘And subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’ So once the practice began, it grew out of proportion and today between 340,000 and 750,000 babies are born in America each year that get automatic citizenship even though both parents are illegal. I know of no other country in the world that does this, and it must end. My Birthright Citizenship Act of 2017 fixes it, clarifies the 14th Amendment and clarifies the Constitutional meaning of the clause, ‘And subject to the jurisdiction thereof.’ President-elect Trump repeatedly called for this bill, and it should be a top priority in Congress.

Under the proposed legislation, automatic citizenship would only be granted to children born in the U.S. who have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen, a lawful permanent resident or an immigrant performing active service in the armed forces.

The bill is cosponsored by Reps. Brian Babin (R-Texas), Lou Barletta (R-Pa.), Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), Blake Farenthold (R-Texas), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), Walter Jones (R-N.C.), Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.), Lamar Smith (R-Texas), and Rob Woodall (R-Ga.).

Also this week, Rep. King reintroduced three other immigration bills: Sarah's Law to increase penalties for repeat border crossers, the New IDEA Act to prohibit employers from deducting wages from their taxes if they hire illegal workers, and the Religious Worker Reciprocity Act to reform visas for foreign religious workers.

The Birthright Citizenship Act is one of NumbersUSA's 5 Great Immigration Reduction Bills.

It has lots of sponsors, maybe more by now. They should zoom this through the House where it will pass and put this in McConnell's lap to pass it. There might be a few Democrats from blue-dog states that will vote with the Republicans in the Senate.

Removing anchor babies who are minors with the deportation of their illegal parents is the only way Trump can for sure end the problem that I can see given the political situation.

When the time is right, we should make passing HR 140 a top priority here at ALIPAC.
