DHS Secretary Kelly Ends
DAPA Amnesty, 6/16/17, NumbersUSA
DHS Secretary John Kelly partially
fulfilled one of President Trump's key campaign promises on Thursday night when
he rescinded the DAPA amnesty. The illegal and unconstitutional executive
amnesty issued by former
President Barack Obama would have
granted an estimated 5 million work permits to illegal aliens who were the
parents of U.S. citizens or Legal Permanent Residents.
The Administration has yet to take
action on the DACA Amnesty, and a DHS report last week showed that the Trump
Administration has issued thousands of new work permits to illegal aliens and
renewed more than a 100,000 more since taking office.
The Department of Homeland Security
issued the following statement on Thursday night: On June 15, Department of
Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly, after consulting with the Attorney
General Jeff Sessions, signed a memorandum rescinding the November 20, 2014
memorandum that created the program known as Deferred Action for Parents of
Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (“DAPA”) because there is no credible
path forward [in the courts] to litigate the currently enjoined policy.
The DAPA executive amnesty had been
temporarily blocked by a federal court after 26 states, led by Texas, sued the
Administration over the order shortly after it was announced in November 2014.
Federal District Judge Andrew Hanen issued a nationwide temporary injunction
against the executive action in 2015 that was upheld by the Fifth Circuit Court
of Appeals. The Obama Administration challenged the ruling to the Supreme
Court, but only eight justices were seated at the time of the appeal, so no
decision was reached.
On August 31, 2016, Pres. Trump
delivered a campaign speech listing his immigration priorities if elected.
Number five on the list was to end the DACA and DAPA amnesties.
We will immediately terminate
President Obama’s two illegal executive amnesties in which he defied federal
law and the Constitution to give amnesty to approximately five million illegal
immigrants, five million.
Comments
With the illegal
Executive Order aside, Trump will likely hold to his priorities and concentrate
getting dangerous criminal illegals off the streets. Trump is in no hurry to deport the parents of
“anchor babies”, but non-citizen illegal migrants will need to get “in the back
of the line” to apply for citizenship.
Trump is drilling down to determine what jobs US employers are
attempting to fill, but he needs to end the UN Refugee Resettlement program in
the US immediately.
