When President Obama announced his sweeping unilateral executive action on immigration last November, administration officials stressed that the new edict would not take effect immediately. One part of the president's action — changes to DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, to extend the period in which illegal immigrants are protected from deportation to three years from its present two years, and also to extend work permits for the same time — was scheduled to go into effect Feb. 18, 2015, three months after the president's announcement. The other part of the president's action — the newly-created DAPA, or Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents — would go into effect six months after Obama's edict.
The day after Obama's Nov. 20 announcement, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service published notice that it "expects to begin accepting requests for the Expanded DACA program on Feb. 18, 2015; and Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program in mid-to-late May 2015." The dates were set.
The administration's schedule shaped the schedule of those challenging the president's action. On Feb. 16, federal judge Andrew Hanen issued an order stopping the program, noting in his opinion that "the DHS' website provides February 18, 2015 as the date it will begin accepting applications under DACA's new criteria, and mid-to-late May for DAPA applications." Hanen barred the administration from implementing "any and all aspects or phases of the expansions (including any and all changes)" to DACA and also "any and all aspects or phases" of DAPA.
So everyone involved knew the score. Changes to DACA, which had been scheduled to start Feb. 18, were on hold. DAPA was also on hold. And everyone assumed those dates to be accurate. But now, the administration is telling a different story.
In the advisory, which began by claiming the administration has followed Hanen's order to temporarily stop the implementation of the program, Justice Department lawyers added this:
"Out of an abundance of caution, however, Defendants wish to bring one issue to the Court's attention. Specifically, between November 24, 2014 and the issuance of the Court's Order, USCIS granted three-year periods of deferred action to approximately 100,000 individuals who had requested deferred action under the original 2012 DACA guidelines (and were otherwise determined to warrant such relief), including the issuance of three-year Employment Authorization Documents for those 2012 DACA recipients who were eligible for renewal. These pre-injunction grants of three-year periods of deferred action to those already eligible for 2012 DACA were consistent with the terms of the November Guidance…Defendants nevertheless recognize that their identification of February 18, 2015, as the date by which USCIS planned to accept requests for deferred action under the new and expanded DACA eligibility guidelines, and their identification of March 4, 2015, as the earliest date by which USCIS would make final decisions on such expanded DACA requests, may have led to confusion about when USCIS had begun providing three-year terms of deferred action to individuals already eligible for deferred action under 2012 DACA."
SNIP
Of course not!
The truth is whatever Our Glorious Leader says that it is.
Will they get away with lying? Of course.
No one cares. The republicrats just fund it any way like sheep to slaughter.
When the Obama Admins opens its mouth it is probably a lie
The Republicrats are all talk and no walk. Yet they keep getting the base to vote for them. Strange.
They may FINALLY lose their base, as of yesterday. We shall see.
The Koran instructs followers to LIE TO INFIDELS, and we’re the Infidels.
In exchange for their votes year after year, all the base gets in return is empty talk and meaningless bluster. And yes, outright lies.
The GOP has managed to bamboozle the base into voting for them. The base needs to recall the old adage: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Maybe someday, people will understand that voting for the lesser of 2 evils, eventually gets you nothing but evil.
Excellent way to look at it.
What difference does it make?
