“To qualify they must be a permanent resident, a parolee or a beneficiary of Obama’s recent amnesty or deferred action.”
I thought deferred action was put on hold by the court.
This photo tells you exactly how Obama sees this issue as Perry met with him regarding the crisis of immigration and the swarms Obama was letting in....Perry was clearly not amused.......Obama has no regard for how 'anybody' sees what's happening...none!
the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act is the loop hole Obam is using to bring them in. The legislation was enacted quietly during the transition to the Obama administration, according to the NY times Article.
It was raised and looked at again when the first swarm of kids came over...
The bill gave substantial ‘new’ protections to children entering the country alone who were NOT from Mexico or Canada by prohibiting them from being quickly sent back to their country of origin.
Instead, it required that they be given an opportunity to appear at an immigration hearing and consult with an advocate, and it recommended that they have access to counsel...... It also required that they be turned over to the care of the Department of Health and Human Services, and the agency was directed to place the minor “in the least restrictive setting that is in the best interest of the child” ....and to explore reuniting those children with family members.
The Wilberforce law was not enacted with the idea of dealing with the current flow of tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors or providing an incentive for children to reach the border.
