Thread: Priebus hints Trump has no immediate plan to end Obama's DACA

The court actually tied and allowed the lower court ruling to prevail and I thought it ruled both of them illegal and unconstitutional, which means DACA should be rescinded immediately, because it's unconstitutional.

There is apparently some confusion about this, so I'm trying to clear it up if we can.

Is DACA one of the executive orders that the courts determined to be unconstitutional?

I welcome additional information, too, Judy.


DACA is unconstitutional.

Currently, there are around 800,000 illegal aliens who have been approved, who have received DACA. They applied for it and received it. That is the number that Senators Durbin and Graham and others are using right now. The numbers of illegal aliens who would be eligible for DACA is in the millions but they have not applied. There are those who have been afraid to apply but the door was open for them. They may have been reluctant to supply information, too.

When the lawsuit happened it was supposed to stop for now. I am unsure about the renewals. What impact the lawsuit has on those. I think renewals for those approved can go forward.


What has been happening too is the ability to leave the country with permission, approval (Advanced Parole) and to re-enter and apply for permanent residency, a green card, legally. This is for some but I am not certain of the numbers. I read about it on a "dreamer" website as many were doing this. You must meet one of three criteria.


If what I have posted is incorrect please put more information for all of us.

Thank you.

HAS THE “GANG OF EIGHT” RETURNED?


by Sharon Rondeau



(Jan. 17, 2017) — The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) reported on Tuesday that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has proposed legislation to protect certain illegal aliens from deportation ahead of the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the nation’s 45th president on Friday.


While a summary of the proposed bill, S. 128, is not yet available at Congress.gov, the legislation, dubbed the “Bridge Act,” is intended to allow a cohort of young illegal aliens to remain in the country similar to the group positively affected by an executive action signed by Barack Hussein Obama in June 2012.


Graham’s move was heralded early last month by The Daily Caller when Graham recontacted members of what came to be known as the Senate’s “Gang of Eight” which supported “immigration reform” in 2013, a bill Obama advocated.


Disappointed that Congress failed to pass the DREAM Act or the “immigration reform,” Obama’s June 2012 executive action encompassed certain applicants age 30 and under who were brought to the United States when they were children and remain “undocumented.” The first applicants were processed two months later for a two-year period which was renewable for another two-year period if the applicant continued to qualify.


The executive action, DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), is administered by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency, a division of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).


More than a dozen of those approved under the program were later found to have committed serious crimes.


DACA was not challenged on constitutional grounds nor defunded by Congress with Republican majorities in both chambers.


However, executive actions Obama announced in a speech on November 20, 2014 which would have permitted approximately 5 million relatives of DACA recipients to remain in the country were challenged by 26 states up to the U.S. Supreme Court, which declined to overturn a lower court’s ruling contending that the executive actions were unconstitutional.


Trump campaigned on a platform of building a wall along the United States’ border with Mexico and deporting all illegal aliens convicted of crimes within the country. The incoming administration has not articulated how it might handle the tens of millions of illegal aliens residing in the U.S. presently without a criminal history other than their illegal entry.


Early in the 2016 presidential campaign season, Graham made it clear that he was not a Trump supporter.


Since Trump’s election, congressional Democrats have sought ways to shield DACA recipients or those deemed eligible from deportation in the event that Trump rescinds the executive action, including asking Obama to issue “pardons” to them.


Thus far, Obama has not taken that step with slightly more than 2.5 days left in office as of press time.

Yes MW, as you wrote, they were referring to family members in the 4-5 million number. If the expansion had gone forward for DACA who knows the real number of millions with DAPA added.


It appears that Comprehensive Immigration Reform will be tried again to include amnesty. The Bridge Act is to protect the current DACA people till they get their next amnesty.

I really hope Trump rescinds the executive action on DACA tomorrow. He may not and choose instead to let it run out, but I hope he rescinds it. Most of his followers are expecting him to rescind, absent the details, that's what they want and believe he promised, so he should just go ahead and do it. They need to all pack and start heading home to their nation of citizenship immediately.

The way obama worded daca, it INCLUDES all young sneakers = no parents, no baby age involved - therein lies the great deceit that is being passed off as helpless babies - no they sneakered across and there are @5 million of them. That was the plan to deceive Americans and mish mash them with those 20+ yrs old brought here as infants. They all were teens and pre-teens w/o parents, came in droves for this particular purpose to slide in under the sob sob DACA lie. Trump needs to discern who DACA really are and are not. Then there are @ that many DAPA that had anchor babies immediately paid for by American citizens, each one for the next 18yrs.
