    DHS Caves on TPS, Asks Congress for ‘Permanent Solution’ After John Kelly-Ally Pens P

    DHS Caves on TPS, Asks Congress for ‘Permanent Solution’ After John Kelly-Ally Pens Pro-Amnesty Memo

    AP/Jose Luis Magana

    by Ian Mason7 Nov 2017785
    Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke refused to allow “Temporary Protected Status” (TPS) to expire Monday for two Central American countries after almost two decades of continual extensions. Instead, administration officials are asking Congress to consider a de facto amnesty for nearly 100,000 Nicaraguans and Hondurans.

    “Only Congress can legislate a permanent solution and provide those in an otherwise perpetually temporary status with a certain future,” a senior administration official told reporters as he announced that TPS would be wound down over a course of 15 months for Nicaragua and no definite action would be taken on Honduras.
    Perhaps most discomforting for immigration hawks, the determinations appear to indicate a significant acceptance of the logic of an internal DHS memo leaked to Breitbart News, arguing TPS must be extended because those protected by it have been in the United States so long, effectively converting the ostensibly temporary program into another large-scale amnesty.
    TPS was originally granted to Nicaraguans and Hondurans in the United States in early 1999 because Hurricane Mitch had made those countries temporarily unsafe to deport people to. The supposedly “temporary” program was extended continually, with little debate, under the Bush and Obama administrations.
    Monday, Secretary Duke determined that Nicaragua was no longer unsafe from the after-effects of a hurricane that struck nearly 19 years ago and, therefore, was ineligible for TPS. Instead of ending the TPS safe harbor for an estimated 5,300 Nicaraguans when the last extension expires in January, Duke and the administration decided to extend the program by an additional year.





    Senior administration officials characterized this move as “terminating” TPS for Nicaragua and encouraged those 5,300 to prepare for a return to their home country despite the fact they will be legally protected at least until January 2019.
    For the estimated 86,000 Hondurans whom TPS shielded from deportation, Duke instituted an “automatic” six-month extension to June of next year based on her inability to determine if Honduras is now safe from 1999’s hurricane. The State Department separately concluded on Friday that protected status is no longer justified for Central America.
    Administration officials left open the possibility Honduras would be removed from the TPS list “with an appropriate delay” if it were later determined conditions in the country were satisfactory. “The acting secretary and the administration are committed to working with Congress to address the issue of Nicaraguan TPS termination,” alluding, as with the up-to-three-million so-called “Dreamers,” to a deal to provide permanent legal status for TPS recipients through a legislative fix.
    In response to a question posed by Breitbart News’s Neil Munro, administration officials fell back on the exact logic that James D. Nealon, an assistant secretary in DHS’s Office of Strategy, Policy, and Plans, used in his private memo reported on Sunday. Nealon, using criteria legally impermissible to justify TPS extensions under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1990, which created the program, argued for an 18-month extension for Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador, whose status is not yet up for extension.
    “[I]t makes no sense to send [citizens of Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador] back to their country of origin,” Nealon wrote in the memo addressed to Acting Secretary Duke because after nearly 20 years in America, they “work legally in great numbers,” are “liv[ing] the American dream,” and “have many thousands of American citizen children.”
    Neither having been in the United States for a long time nor having occupied an American job is related to TPS’s stated purpose of preventing deportations to dangerous places or are criteria for making that determination of danger.
    In Monday’s announcement, however, the administration did not distance itself from Nealon’s logic, which, taken to its conclusion, would convert TPS into a de facto amnesty. It, in fact, appeared to call on Congress to do so. “The administration understands that there are a number of individuals who have been in a TPS status … potentially for 20 years,” said a senior administration official. “[G]iven … the lengthy period of their presence here … Congress may wish to provide a solution that allows them a more permanent status.”
    Current White House Chief of Staff Gen. John Kelly personally appointed Nealon when he was Secretary of Homeland Security. The two men served together in the leadership of the U.S. Southern Command, Kelly as military commander and Nealon as civilian deputy.
    The Nealon Memo and Monday’s announcements regarding Nicaragua and Honduras are the latest signals that the administration is willing to tolerate a permanent presence in the United States for TPS recipients.
    After announcing what was touted as the final TPS extension for Haitians in May, Kelly defended that move, even as Haitians flooded Canada’s border seeking to avoid returning to their homeland. Even then, he told the Miami Herald in June, “I think the members of Congress who are interested in this, and there are a lot of them, should probably sit down and talk about it and come up with some legislation to fix it. I think it’s on them.”
    The suggestion of a TPS amnesty may be, as with the earlier administration strategy on ending Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a mechanism by which to gain leverage for a grand congressional bargain on immigration. Holding in abeyance a permanent legal status or even a path to citizenship for the approximately 300,000 TPS recipients could, along with amnesty for more than 800,000 DACA amnesty, be used to extract concessions from Democrats and open-borders Republicans on the southern border wall, the RAISE Act, and ending chain migration.
    Officials made no further announcement regarding El Salvador or Haiti on Monday. TPS has shielded tens of thousands from each country for years past the original natural disasters that prompted the status’s extension to them.

    This is further proof that refugee/temporary status should not be granted. Our government is incapable of sending people out, especially in mass. We are going to see our nation destroyed by all of these foreign citizens given excuses to remain, made by our very own government. The very people working against us are in positions of authority at DHS, State, and elsewhere. Add in the amnesty talk by President Trump for DACA.


    The buck stops at President Trump's desk. Right now, in my opinion, he is a disappointment at accomplishing great things on immigration. The amnesty shills have the upper hand in this administration. The amnesty voices should be purged even if there is a skeleton crew left while new no amnesty hires take place.

    DHS is a failed department. The responsibilities it has and the number of agencies it controls are too broad and too many with countervailing objectives that when summed do not represent our best interests. We need to return the agencies that were combined under DHS back to their original departments as they were prior to 9/11. Also USCIS should be returned to an agency funded by Congressional appropriations and not operated with its fees it collects. All those fees must be turned over to General Revenue and all spending must be appropriated funds from Congress including all personnel and contracts.

    Official: Admin Open To Amnesty Deal For Non-DACA Illegals


    Posted By Alex Pfeiffer On 8:58 PM 11/06/2017



    The Trump administration is open to an amnesty for illegal immigrants not covered under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program, according to an administration official.


    The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, was talking to reporters Monday about the Department of Homeland Security’s decision regarding Temporary Protected Status for roughly 86,000 Hondurans and 5,300 Nicaraguans. The two nations have received TPS since 1999 and it gives them access to public benefits, protection from deportation and the ability to work.


    The program is designed for immigrants who can’t return to their home country due to a disaster of sorts, both Honduras and Nicaragua were hit by Hurricane Mitch in 1998.


    Acting Secretary Elaine Duke decided to terminate TPS for Nicaragua with the end date in January 2019, and delay her decision on the status for Honduras.



    The administration official said that there “are a number of individuals who have been in a TPS status” for two decades. He couldn’t give the amount of TPS beneficiaries who are illegal immigrants, however, the nature of the program means that beneficiaries don’t currently have legal status in the U.S.



    “Given the lengthy period of their presence here Congress may wish to find a solution that allows them a more permanent status versus this 18 month to 18 month temporary fix that has been going on for two decades,” the official said. “That is up to Congress, but the administration would support Congress’ efforts to find such a solution.”



    President Donald Trump announced the end of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals in September and called on Congress to give the roughly 800,000 DACA beneficiaries legal status. He has since said that he expects a DACA amnesty deal to be paired with chain-migration reforms, which would in effect lower legal immigration.



    The official did not lay out any negotiating position in regards to a TPS amnesty, but added, “We do hope and encourage Congress to look at this and find a solution.”


    Three Florida congressmen introduced legislation last week to give legal permanent resident status to over 300,000 illegal immigrants covered by TPS from Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador and Haiti.

    A leaker or liar in DHS or the White House? I don't think we can trust these leaker/liars. When the cat's away, the mice will play.

    We can trust very few Judy. We know that the White House and various departments are full of leakers and saboteurs.
