Immigration policy experts lashed out Tuesday at the Department of Homeland Securitys plan to implement President Trumps executive orders on immigration.
In my many years of practicing immigration law, I have not seen a mass deportation blueprint like this one, Marielena Hincapié, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit that advocates for the rights of low-income immigrant families, said in a conference call with reporters.
In two memos issued Tuesday, DHS Secretary John Kelly laid out sweeping new guidance for officers tasked with carrying out the presidents immigration policies. Those directives included a push to arrest, detain and deport a significantly broader pool of undocumented immigrants.
Hincapié, who called the memos breathtaking in scope, was one of several experts in immigration policy and law who offered analysis of what she called the memos most chilling details.
Chief among them was Kellys declaration that, while convicted criminals will remain a top priority for deportation, the Department no longer will exempt classes or categories of removable aliens from potential enforcement. In other words, virtually all undocumented immigrants including those previously given a pass under an Obama administration directive that prioritized deportations of violent criminals, known gang members, and others deemed a threat to public and national security may now be subject to deportation.
Everyone is a priority, Hincapié argued. These memos run counter to the rule of law, she added, and their implementation would wreak havoc on our economy, our families and our communities.
Tom Jawetz, vice president of immigration at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank, agreed.
The dragnet represented by having a priority-free immigration policy is going to be massive, he predicted, noting that the DHS memos also include a provision for the reinstatement and expansion of Secure Communities.

Sounds good.
Which Free Traitors shall we send off first? The Islamists that still support Rick Perry even to this day?
Immigration Advocates?
Heck, I’M an Immigration advocate, too. We should probably let in annually 30,000 well-vetted, educated, peace loving immigrants who have waited legally for their opportunity. With that opportunity comes their professed love of this country and the rejection of their old one. They should have sponsors that will be legally liable for their actions for ten years and ensure that they will not take any Social Security, tax credits, or welfare of any kind unless, and until it is duly earned.
Anyone else can be immediately deported.
See? That is what I call a start for comprehensive immigration reform.
Well, guess what, Marilena? You have not seen a leader like President Trump before either. Things are going to change. He's going to demand that our immigration laws be followed.
Something you ILLEGAL immigration activists would know nothing about.
And you have noticed how the devil’s own twist terminology to fit their lies ... I too am pro-immigration. I asm not pro invasion, as illegal invaders are embraced in words by the leftist scum. I wonder, do these same pukes bring the invaders into their homes, to give shelter and base for operation of further invaders? HAH!

They need a Thorough AUDIt and should ALL be Prosecuted for MONEY LAUNDERING. Every NICKEL in FEES they have collected was ILLEGAL INCOME to Begin with. LOCK THEM ALL UP!
In my many years of practicing immigration law, I have not seen a mass deportation blueprint like this one, Well,how many years did we allow this program of illegal immigration to build?
“Immigration advocates” my ass!
These are human traffickers masquerading as lawyers. Just follow the money.
All they do is run interference for illegals and coyotes, and try to talk themselves, and their illegal client, out of a prison sentence, removal, and/or deportation.
President Trump is enforcing the laws on the books, and nobody has a say in the matter, regardless of how much they whine and cry.
