The Trump administration would support legislation allowing illegal immigrants who came to the United States as children to gain lawful permanent status and eventually citizenship, a Department of Homeland Security official said in testimony to Congress on Tuesday.
The Trump administration last month ended the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, which began in 2012 under former President Barack Obama and offered nearly 800,000 young people who came to the United States illegally as children protection from deportation and the right to work legally in the United States.
The administration said it ended DACA because Obama overstepped his constitutional authority by creating the policy unilaterally and without Congressional approval. President Donald Trump called on Congress to enact a law to protect DACA recipients, and last month angered some of his fellow Republicans by negotiating with congressional Democratic leaders on possible legislation.
"Under a rational bill these individuals would be able to become lawful permanent residents with a pathway to citizenship," Michael Dougherty, assistant DHS secretary for border, immigration and trade policy, said at a Senate hearing, in response to questioning on the Trump administration's position on whether "Dreamers," as they are often called, should be allowed to stay in the United States.
A DHS spokesman did not immediately respond to a question regarding whether the administration's stance applies only to individuals who had DACA status, or also applies to those who would have qualified had the policy not been rescinded.
Earlier in the hearing, when asked what Trump would like to see in a "DACA fix bill," Dougherty recited a list of the administration's immigration priorities, including border control, expanding the ability to quickly remove people who enter illegally and do not claim asylum, better vetting, reducing visa overstays, reforming non-immigrant business visas and establishing a merit-based system...

He has said he will not sign a blanket amnesty. The road to citizenship by these dreamers is going to be long and arduous. Not everyone who is in the country by virtue of being brought in by their parents will even have the chance to stay. Those that have criminal backgrounds will not be allowed to stay and will be deported anyway.
Why don’t we just wait and see what comes out of all this before you jump on the bandwagon and trash Trump. He’s a thousand times better than anything else we could have hoped for and to throw him under the bus and walk away from him over something that we don’t even yet understand is sheer lunacy.
I’m for it. I’ll gladly support giving SOME dreamers citizenship, like maybe three or four of them, IN RETURN FOR:
FULL FUNDING OF AN EFFECTIVE SOUTHERN BORDER WALL AND BORDER SECURITY OPERATIONS FOR 100 YEARS.
That means full transfer of funds to state-level restricted accounts (never to be returned or cut) for the express purpose of funding border patrol operations.
It goes like this:
States set up separate accounts to receive federal funds for border enforcement operations. The funds transferred can only be used to fund border enforcement operations.
This means that states transfer funds back to ICE for continuing border enforcement operations, why? So that future Congresses will never have the opportunity to cut funding, ICE accounts only can receive funding and the states are prohibited from spending the funds on anything other than federal border enforcement operations.
GRANT A FEW DREAMERS (LIMITED ONE-TIME QUOTA) US CITIZENSHIP
==>
RECEIVE MASSIVE BORDER WALL AND 100-YEAR ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS FUNDING
==>
BLOCK GRANT TO STATES IN RESTRICTED ACCOUNTS
==>
STATES TRANSFER FUNDS TO ICE EACH YEAR FOR BORDER ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS
*********************************
This effectively gives the Federal Establishment a middle finger salute for 100 years.
It’s Kelly too who headed DHS .
Kelly is teaming up with Javanka and all the Rhinos that Reince Prebus filled the WH WITH .
KELLY WAS EXCITED ABOUT GIVING THEM AMNESTY EATLIER TJS YEAR !
He rams thru Amnesty kiss his reflection Good Bye !
Hear that Kelly and Javanka !
In addition to DACA, Obama’s DHS also created DAPA (for parents of the dreamers). You can bet that Dems want DAPA included in any “comprehensive” bill.
I will believe the POTUS Tweet before any fake news.
Ignore those ignoring the ugly reality coming in .
Kelly and Javanka are huge Amnesty traitors .
They are all on record lovin the illegal invasion .
In fact , The Syrian Muslim Invasion are still going on and Ivanka loves it.
Now , we found out the Aussies Muslim terrorists are getting DUMPED here now .
No vetting was possible so Aussie said no but Trump is letting them in here..
The WH may use the upcoming Gun Grabbing Sessions to sneak in
DACA amnesty .
Folks seem to think DACA only covers kids on trains.
It was expanded to cover every kid they could identify.
I’m sure the DAPA one was similarly expanded beyond reason.
All of them need to go.
The education these kids got here should make them very employable in their home nation.
Send them home. (I know you agree)
We need to end refugee immigration.
Help them in place, but we should not expose our nation to more refugees.
I’d rather help them regionally in camps, then assist them returning home.
- the end -
If true....NO SECOND TERM! Primary the bastard.
no one who enters this country illegally should ever receive a path to citizenship. Whatever they do with these people, no to citizenship.
Oh please, why read the article AFTER ALL IT ORIGINATES FROM
Reuters via Yahoo
which begins 4 feet under as a starting point.
Fake news earns overboard reaction.
Understand the skepticism
when such words are read. Being lied to has become the hobby of those that wish to be governing. At some point, it’s best to search inward to find the underlying cancer. Our President is being defiled and painted to be seen as one of the crew. Have a little faith that he does not intend to be just one of the ‘good old boys’. STILL in his corner.
You’ve got to be kidding. PLEASE let this be fake news.
Why would Trump want to add 800,000 more Hillary voters?
As many as 3000000
This is the left...Doing their job...Dividing President Trump backers if at all possible....
I don’t believe DACA ever was considered to cover kids on the trains (unaccompanied minors). DACA targeted kids of parents who brought them here illegally when they were young children).
Really?
This is what Trump said on 16 June 2015, when he announced his presidential campaign:
“I will immediately terminate President Obama’s illegal Executive Order on immigration - Immediately!”
Thank you. If I’ve mis-characterized it, it wasn’t intentional.
Oh, I did not mean to imply that...Sadly, I am sure that there is some program/group/ or bill going thru the system to keep the unaccompanied minors (—the teenage males) here :(
Did not elaborate as much as I might have—I have a sprained or broken finger so hard to type-even for a former typing teacher :(
No problem at all. You may have made a valid point.
I had thought it was designed to cover the train-people primarily, but if not it should be pointed out.
Thanks.
