Majority Of Eligible Illegal Aliens Didn’t Apply For Obama’s Amnesty

In the four years since President Obama announced his executive order protecting illegal aliens from deportation, only 48 percent of those eligible have applied for the program, an analysis published Thursday reveals.

Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) provides temporary legal status to illegal immigrants aged 15 to 35 who claim to have arrived in the U.S before they turned 16. These illegal aliens had to have resided continuously in the U.S. since June 2007 and had to have a high school degree or the equivalent or currently be enrolled in an educational program. After applying and being accepted, they’d be able to work and avoid deportation for two years. When the two years are up, they can renew their status.

The Center for Immigration Studies reviewed a report from the Migration Policy Institute which showed that there are 1,705,000 immediate and potentially eligible DACA recipients in the country. Just 820,000, 48 percent, applied for the program.

Immediately eligible means that the illegal alien fits the age and educational requirements. Potentially eligible means they have yet to fulfill the education requirement. However, to fulfill the education requirement an illegal alien just needs to enrolled in a school or adult educational program on the day of the application.

In Florida, for example, 92,000 illegal immigrants are eligible for DACA and yet 38 percent of those eligible or potentially eligible have applied. This numbers vary by state, in Texas the majority have applied.

The application percentages also vary by country. A majority of Mexicans have applied but just 24 percent of Guatemalans have.

That’s because they don’t want amnesty; they want Reconquista.

This “amnesty” is just as illegal as the one that is being stopped by a federal judge.

And those 820,000 children of squatters are being employed by the Clinton campaign to register voters, according to a report over the weekend. Now who are these people most likely to sign up?

Because the majority are not interested in amnesty. They’re fine with they way things are now.

You nailed it, Brother Dawg. Yet, We The Sheeple continue to sit on our a**es and do nothing to stop it. "Just wait 'til Trump is in the White House..." seems to be the mantra. Then, after the government-media complex steals the election for Hilldebeast, it'll be "Just wait 'til __________ is in the White House..."

Woof!

The unconstitutional amnesty list under Obama can quickly become a deportation list under a president who cares about the Constitution and law.

That’s what some “undocumented citizen advocates” were telling illegals when it first started and they recommended not to sign up.

Sure they’re fine with the way things are now. They’re being handed everything! It’s to the point where Americans are saying, only half jokingly, “I’m going to leave, sneak back in across the border and claim to be an illegal. I can use the benefits.”

No reason for illegal aliens to be known that way that way they can use many other names and not be tracked.

Perhaps they are concerned that registering will expose them to future removal when the regime changes to a sane one.

“These illegal aliens had to have resided continuously in the U.S. since June 2007”

My experience is that at most they stay in the country for 2 years at a time then go back and sneak back in.

I don’t know what resided means, if they leave for 1 week are they ineligible? Most leave for 2-3 months every two to three years to visit relatives outside the US.

I have no idea how they could prove they comply with this requirement, they can just lie.

I believe, sir, that you are quite correct in your assessment.

That’s a shame. I’d like a list of as many illegal criminals as possible, so we can deport them more easily.
