ICE: A “Clean DACA Fix” Will Create An Explosion Of Illegal Immigration

At an event sponsored by the Center for Immigration Studies yesterday, outgoing chief of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Thomas Homan shared his thoughts on the possibility of upcoming congressional debate over a “clean” DACA bill. To put it mildly, he was not enthusiastic. If any sort of deal such as the one being described by supporters of the measure were to go through, Homan warned that potential border jumpers would take that as a signal to get into the United States while the getting is good, potentially overwhelming our immigration enforcement officials.

Passing a “clean” Dream Act to legalize illegal immigrant “Dreamers” will spur a new wave of illegal immigration and create a new population that will need an amnesty 10 or 20 years in the future, the government’s chief deportation official said Tuesday.

Tom Homan, who has been acting as the chief at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement since the beginning of the Trump administration, said even the talk of a renewed immigration debate on Capitol Hill will entice people to make the perilous journey to try to jump the border, saying during his nearly 35 years in immigration enforcement he’s seen it happen “every time you talk about some sort of benefit” such as legal status for illegal immigrants.

“It certainly increases illegal crossings, that’s been proven for the last three decades I’ve been around,” Mr. Homan said at an event sponsored by the Center for Immigration Studies.

Homan will be retiring at the end of the month, but he clearly doesn’t want to see all of the progress his agency has made washed away in a major setback. And the warning he’s issuing has the ring of common sense to it. Any signal that something resembling a general amnesty with a free pass to American citizenship is in the offing will quickly reach the streets of the countries where most illegal immigrants come from. At that point you’re basically daring them to take a shot at making it into the country any way they can in the hopes of getting in on the action.

And to what end? The discussions of this upcoming deal certainly don’t sound promising. Rather than Lawful Permanent Resident status, members of Congress are now talking about full citizenship rights for an increasingly large number of eligible illegal aliens. (A group which Democrats would immediately begin rushing to register as voters.) And what is being offered in return? All we’ve heard thus far is talk of “a study of future border security needs.”

I’m sorry, but that’s the old Popeye and Wimpy joke, offering to gladly pay us Tuesday for a hamburger today. And as Homan went on to point out, if we trigger a new flood of border jumpers this summer with such a proposal, they might not qualify for a DACA fix today, but we’re “setting ourselves up for another amnesty in the future.”

As I’ve written here repeatedly, the preferred number of people receiving amnesty would be zero. Nobody should be shoved to the head of the line in front of honest immigrants who have been following the rules and waiting their turn for a chance at naturalization. But I’m also aware of the political realities that members of Congress are wrestling with at present. Perhaps we’ll have to accept some sort of limited deal, but we certainly need to be getting a lot more out of it than the promise of “a future study.”

We need full funding for the border wall, the passage of Kate’s Law nationally, more immigration judges and ICE/CBP officers, mandatory E-verify and probably a few more things. We may not get all.

It will be vetoed.

But why is the GOPe invested in such stupidity? It may please their donors, but it will PO many voters to the extent where they will lose their position.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Since booting the good behavior DACA’s is political suicide, put them on year to year probation and put their citizenship applications at the back of the line like any other candidate.

[Paine in the Neck]

Anything

that allows

those who entered the USA illegally

to benefit from that

illegal act

is

AMNESTY

and will incentivize

millions more

to come for their amnesty.

STOP

giving prizes to invaders!

DACA is amnesty!

The reason for this is the vindictiveness of the bought and paid for “ retiring” Republicans who are being forced out of their cushy jobs this fall for their feckless and corrupt behavior.

They are going to try to ram through as much of their agenda as possible before the are gone regardless of the damage it does to the Republican Party or the country

If they can’t have it, no one can and besides, they need to start thinking about their lucrative retirements as lobbyists

[Truthoverpower]

Notice how there are record numbers trying to sneak across
And that the bush amnesty no border types are trying to legalize as many as they ycsn quick
They know that things are changing and the wall will be built
We need to hold the line big time against all these forces
Whatever it takes
Trump has the demoncraps trying to defend MS13
We need to keep the pressure up on them

[Alas Babylon!]

Send this to Speaker Paul Ryno and all the other Chamber of Commerce Cheap Labor Express Republicans.

We don’t want any, repeat ANY amnesty in any fashion.

Vote for Amnesty and lose your seat.

I read a thread yesterday that the cabal is secretly planning something. Write your Congress person today and tell them JUST SAY NO.

And where the Hell is our WALL!?

[Truthoverpower]

Furthermore if sleepy dopey Jeff ONLY focuses on this I’m fine with that

[Altura Ct.]

There is no ‘clean DACA fix’ unless you are talking about deporting them.

[Alas Babylon!]

Here it is:

GOP braces for intraparty fight (Immigration Alert)

Retiring Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) will pitch a long-awaited compromise immigration plan to rank-and-file Republicans in the Capitol basement. The meeting is one of the biggest of the Congress for House Republicans, and it could get heated.

[NorthMountain]

Passing a “clean” Dream Act to legalize illegal immigrant “Dreamers” will spur a new wave of illegal immigration

And that is why such a thing must NEVER be done under any circumstances whatsoever.

DACA must come to mean "DEPORT ALL CRIMINAL ALIENS".

To quote Dr Phil:

“You don’t reward bad behavior’.

[LostPassword]

A “DACA fix” legislates that any minor who makes it across the border has a right to live in the US. The arguments are based on moral/ethical/legal/humanitarian points, rather than that it is in the US interest for the time being (e.g. we need workers so immigration law is modified - temporarily - for the benefit of the US, not as a moral right for illegal minors). They’ll put some date on it and say only minors who arrive before this date have the right. That doesn’t make sense if congress claims the minors before the date were not responsible for their actions and have a right to live here but minors after that date should be held responsible for their actions. I have no doubt liberals will find a judge to say the date is unconstitutional (all illegal minors must be treated equal) but the right to stay is fine. And I’d bet the supreme court will agree.

If the moral/ethical/legal/humanitarian thing to do is to give that right to illegal minors, it will have to apply to all illegal minors: past/present/future. So we better fix the border and chain migration BEFORE giving that right.

[GOPJ]

NO MORE PRIZES FOR BREAKING INTO OUR COUNTRY.

Send RINO quislings home if they do this... NO MORE ILLEGALS.

[jmacusa]

I don’t know. I think we’re about to be screwed.

[Lumper20]

True. Bush also authorized some 500 Mexican trucking companies to drive anywhere in the USA, Every time you see a pothole, think about the 18 wheelers near you. Each 18 wheeler is the equivalent of 9,600 cars. And People wonder why our roads are so bad/potholes everywhere. Let Mexico pay for our roads, too.
