    Removal of DACA recipients has begun

    Removal of DACA recipients has begun: It didn't take a crystal ball to see DACA would not end well

    BY NOLAN RAPPAPORT, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR — 12/29/19 12:00 PM EST 1,723THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY CONTRIBUTORS ARE THEIR OWN AND NOT THE VIEW OF THE HILL


    In June 2012, former President Barack Obama announced the creation of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which provided temporary lawful status for a two-year period, subject to renewal, for certain undocumented immigrants who had come to the United States before reaching the age of 16.

    This was supposed to be a compassionate act, but I foresaw unintended consequences if a person with strong immigration enforcement policies were to become the president before the passage of a bill to provide permanent resident status for the participants.


    Donald Trump
    became the next president.


    Trump announced that he was going to terminate the program but said that he would give Congress six months to pass legislation to make permanent resident status available to the participants before implementing the termination.


    Trump also proposed a legalization program for 1.8 million DACA participants as part of a four-pillar Framework on Immigration Reform & Border Security, but the Democrats would not agree to the concessions he expected in return for the legalization program.


    Lawsuits filed to block Trump’s termination

    In January 2018, a U.S. district judge in California issued a provisional nationwide injunction blocking the Trump administration’s repeal of DACA on the ground that the repeal was based on the flawed legal premise that the Obama-era policy was illegal.

    Judges in New York and Washington, D.C., subsequently issued similar orders.


    Trump filed a consolidated appeal of the three decisions with the Supreme Court.


    At an oral argument before the Supreme Court in November 2019, the initial question was whether the government’s decision to end DACA is something that courts can review at all.


    According to the government, the administration simply ended a prior administration’s choice not to enforce immigration policy. This is within the administration’s discretion and therefore cannot be second-guessed by the courts.


    The second question was whether the Trump administration’s decision to end DACA violated the law.


    Everyone agreed that the administration could end DACA. The issue was whether it was done properly.


    Opponents of termination argued that the Trump administration was required to provide an “accurate, reasoned, rational, and legally sound explanation” for its decision to end DACA and “utterly failed to do so.” Therefore, the case should be sent back for a proper determination of whether DACA should be terminated.


    Some justices were not convinced that sending the case back to the lower courts would make any difference, and Justice Neil Gorsuch observed that a do-over would take six more years, during which DACA recipients would remain in limbo.


    A decision on the appeal is expected by summer.

    Obama had other options

    Obama guaranteed that a comprehensive immigration bill he could strongly support would be introduced during the first year of his administration — and he could have kept that promise. From January 2009 to January 2011, the Democrats had a majority in the House, and until Scott Brown’s special election in 2010, they had enough votes in the Senate to stop a filibuster.


    Obama and the Democratically controlled Congress could have passed any immigration bill they wanted during this period, but that didn’t stop Obama from claiming in June 2012 that he had to create DACA with an executive order because Congress had failed to act.


    Deportation proceedings now being reopened


    Zoila Pelayo, who has been a DACA participant since 2012, recently received notice that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has sought reopening of her removal proceedings.


    And this is just the beginning.


    ICE has informed CNN that every DACA recipient whose deportation case was administratively closed can expect to see his or her proceeding reopened.


    DACA participants have already conceded deportability


    DACA was granted only to aliens whose presence in the United States is unlawful — and unlawful presence is a ground for deportation under 8 USC §1227(a)(1)(B).

    The government, therefore, can establish deportability simply by establishing that an alien was a DACA participant.


    Moreover, there is a one-year time limit on applying for asylum under 8 USC §1158(a)(2)(B), so it isn’t likely that any of the DACA participants will be able to file an asylum application if they are placed in removal proceedings.


    DACA application information can be used as a basis for initiating removal proceedings

    The answer to the 10th question in DACA Frequently Asked Questions says that information obtained during the DACA application process will not be used to initiate removal proceeding.

    The last sentence in that answer, however, warns that "this policy, which may be modified, superseded, or rescinded at any time without notice, is not intended to, does not, and may not be relied upon to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by law by any party in any administrative, civil, or criminal matter."


    What information does the Department of Homeland Security have on DACA participants?


    The DACA application, Form I-821D, required identity documents that have the applicant’s photo on them, such as a driver’s license or passport — and the application process required a Biometric Services Appointment at which fingerprints, photographs and signatures were taken.


    This means that for the rest of their lives in the United States, DACA participants will have a heightened risk of being identified and arrested as deportable aliens.


    Obama initially thought that he did not have the authority


    When Obama was asked in March 2011 to prevent immigrants whose parents had brought them to this country when they were children from being deported, his response was that he couldn’t just suspend deportations with an executive order.

    Congress passes the laws, and the executive branch’s job is to enforce and implement them.


    He was right.

    Deplorables against deportables. Maybe go to the ubiquitous Cinco de Maya celebrations coming up in five months, eh? These people also tend to aggregate along busy highways so they can transport their humans, drugs, children, whores, etc.

    Every DACA applicant needs to be investigated for LIES, crimes they have committed, and they need to be loaded up and deported with the rest of their illegal family.

    End birthright citizenship now!

    Use the IRS records to track down these illegals and deport them too! No illegal alien PARENT should collect any taxpayer funded benefits on behalf of a U.S. citizen. Deport them with their minor children.

    And STOP loading these kids on buses at the border and bussing them to OUR schools. They are NOT residents of the school district! They can go to school in Mexico where they reside!

    Use the Medicaid records to find their illegal parents, apprehend them, and deport them with their minor children.

    This is out of control. We have 25 million illegals and visa overstays to get off our soil, out of our housing, off our roads, out of our medical care facilities, and off our welfare and food stamps.
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL
