Whether they traipsed across the border illegally or were dumped here, they’re still illegals.
Trump is reversing Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty for illegal alien spawns.
From Fox News
The Trump administration on Tuesday announced the “orderly wind down” of the Obama-era program that gave a deportation reprieve to illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children – putting pressure on Congress to come up with a replacement.
“I do not favor punishing children, most of whom are now adults, for the actions of their parents. But we must also recognize that we are a nation of opportunity because we are a nation of laws,” Trump said, in a lengthy written statement explaining the decision.
The Department of Homeland Security formally rescinded the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA, with a six-month delay for current recipients. According to Acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke, the interval is meant to give Congress “time to deliver on appropriate legislative solutions.”
“However, I want to be clear that no new initial requests or associated applications filed after today will be acted on,” Duke said in a written statement.
……Attorney General Jeff Sessions, speaking to reporters, decried what he called the Obama administration’s “disrespect for the legislative process” in enacting the 2012 policy. He said the “unilateral executive amnesty” probably would have been blocked by the courts anyway.
“The executive branch, through DACA, deliberately sought to achieve what the legislative branch specifically refused to authorize on multiple occasions,” Sessions said, blaming the policy for the recent “surge” at the border. “Such an open-ended circumvention of immigration laws was an unconstitutional exercise of authority by the executive branch.”
In June, president Trump reversed Obama’s unconstitutional DACA , which would have allowed free entry to four million more illegal alien spawns.
Every country on the planet has borders and immigration laws. Some choose to enforce, some don’t. American citizens have a right to expect protection of national sovereignty, border security, and enforcement of citizenship and immigration laws.
Obama’s loyalty and political affinity lies with foreign nationals, not American citizens.
