Shortly after inauguration, I wrote about the Trump administration's decision to continue the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) amnesty. During the campaign, Trump (correctly) lambasted Obama's unilateral amnesty program as illegal and pledged to stop it on day one. But not only did he not stop it, DHS has continued to process renewals and even new applications, for illegal aliens who did not already have this two-year renewable work permit.

Some of this is media alleged— but he is also refusing to call the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization. We haven’t seen any movement toward prosecuting Hillary. the state department just upped its Muslim refugee quota. And of course there’s the last budget that had no money for the wall.
Its starting to look like we got conned again. i really hope I am wrong.
Somehow, Obama managed to make sure none of his departments did anything that went against his wishes. And he wasn’t a very good leader or president.
This is a good time to remember to keep watch and not have blind faith in any politician.
Its not news, its a report from the foremost anti-illegal immigration organization in the country.
I’m sure that the Trump Administration just hasn’t gotten around to shutting down DACA yet.
Citizenship and Immigration Services still has thousands of folks working there who were hired during the eight years of the Obama regime.
Lots of articles were posted last year that Trump was often weak on immigration before he started his campaign. He criticized Romney for being too tough on immigration after Romney lost, he told Fox and Friends that deporting all illegals was too harsh, and he had a meeting with “dreamers” where he said they made a compelling case. You denied the facts then and amazingly you are still in denial. This blind worship of a candidate doesn’t help any cause. Every President has the risk of going wobbly and it’s our job to keep them honest, not to make excuses for their failures to live up to their promises.
Complications? An EO to overturn an EO? No it truly does not get any more simplistic than that
Post of the day... this is why sometimes it pays to be independent vs. tied to a party or ideology..
The latter two is mindless worship and control
“I don’t think I believe this...President Trump is death on immigration...I think this is FAKE NEWS!!!”
Well it’s at best mostly FAKE NEWS. Every time one of these concern troll articles gets posted it doesn’t take much to discredit it. This one ain’t different.
The numbers are from Jan to March of which the majority would have been already in the pipe when Trump was sworn in. The USCIS site says it takes 120 days for a renewal and 90 for a new application. You can bet an accurate graph of processing under Trump would look like a cliff.
We know crossings are way down so the only numbers that would accurately reflect DACA during Trump’s year to date are April to June and newer.
Not conned, but I feel during the campaign and transition many took Trump's campaign promises as something more than rhetoric and fantasized the man into having abilities approaching those of a diety. I also think Trump thought he could reform and run the government as in the manner of a corporate CEO. His and our expectations were simply unrealistic. Yet he has accomplished much in a short time frame.
Good link. Thanks.
Shows a clear trend line roughly half of Hussein’s numbers. You can bet the April-June numbers will be even less and a much more accurate representation of “Trump Amnestying”.
Oh I’m not a ‘blind worshipper’ trust me...
And the anti-Trumpers squeal loudest. Go, Trump!! Keep your eye on the prize.
You do understand DACA statistics from Jan-Mar could have been 0 and this report no longer published had he done what was promised and that is to sign the EO overturning DACA?
That isn’t concern troll and quite frankly am tired of the term used to simply just shoo away any opposition to policy.
Move along nothing to see here..nothing to see here
Amen, boss.
Amazing how long some of the squealing has been going on.
I prefer to look at ALL of the positives we have been blessed with, with President Trump. The winning is just beginning.
“I feel during the campaign and transition many took Trump’s campaign promises as something more than rhetoric and fantasized the man into having abilities approaching those of a diety. I also think Trump thought he could reform”
You’re kidding right? It’s an EO! An EO! This isn’t rhotoric. He’s signed numerous already overturning Obama’s EOs! So please do describe why again he’s failed to sign an EO?
This
President Trump, Director of Homeland Security John Kelly, or Thomas Homan acting director of ICE. Bring this up in the third year of the Trump Presidency and you may have a point. Unless we have a comprehensive legislated pause in all immigration, it will take time to plug all the holes the Democrats have made in the boat. You simply can’t have instant recovery from problems that have only gotten worse over the last 50 years. Listen to W.J. Clinton’s STOU from 1995.
He said he would end it. He’s also said something “would be worked out”.
There’s no reason to believe only one of these things will happen.
I’d love to see him yank DACA, but I understand the political ramifications of doing so and I also understand that the program can be rendered pointless by reducing new applicants to inconsequential levels.
I also know the political ramifications of not doing so....it’s called his base. He wasn’t elected to do the popular political expedient thing. He was elected to change what was done.
If he does good if he does not I’ll stay home
