No, they are trying to naturalize green card holders who are eligible to be citizens. Clinton/Gore did something similar in 1996 expediting naturalization of green card holders. Since immigrants vote more than two to one Dem, it is a way to get more Dems on the rolls. At any one time, there are about 15 million green card holders resident in this country. Many have elected not to become citizens. The is just a Dem GOTV effort. It is not about legalizing illegals.
nyone know what is happening with Obummer’s illegal EO’s that the judge stopped last fall? I haven’t seen anything on it in quite some time. ?
The Obama second EO amnesty was stopped in the lower courts. The Obama administration asked SCOTUS to put it on the docket as soon as possible. SCOTUS complied and will hear the case this session with a decision in June.
Obama's first EO amnesty, the so called Dreamer amnesty in 2012, has legalized the status of approximately 580,000 Dreamers giving them work permits and SSNs. Based on that status, a number of states are issuing them driver's licenses and granting them in-state tuition. The courts have not ruled on this one either, but I expect no politician will try to undo it. Why? Because it has to do with "children" who came here 15 and under. It doesn't matter if they came with their parents or not. And they can be up to the age of 30 to get the Dreamer amnesty. So far, the approval rate for those who apply is about 99.5%.
Thanks for the reply and update wrt green cards. I agree about the Dreamers - it’s the children after all (even if some may be gang members).
