Democrats Push Permanent DACA Solution

-

On the 10th anniversary of the implementation of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (), a law that gives illegal aliens who were brought to America as children immunity from deportation, 's are calling for a permanent solution.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of #DACA, Representative (D-AZ-03) tweeted. “It's a reminder that we have a moral obligation to protect Dreamers in AZ and across the nation. We must guarantee certainty for those who have known no other home but this one.”

DACA recipients are commonly known as “Dreamers.”

“Despite the House's best efforts, we continue to see xenophobic attacks and inaction,” he said. “The must immediately pass the Dream and Promise Act. Anything less would shamefully neglect our values.”

The Dream and Promise Act would give DACA recipients a path to citizenship.

Grijalva also said that DACA “remains the floor, not the ceiling, when it comes to protecting immigrant communities,” suggesting that Democrats may pursue citizenship for other illegal aliens.

“For the 60,000 DACA recipients who call Arizona home, pursuing their American Dreams by going to college or working has helped grow our state's economy, culture, and community for the better,” Rep. (D-AZ-07) said Wednesday on Twitter. “We owe it to our Dreamers to repair our broken system.”

also called for permanent citizenship for DACA recipients, 600,000 to 800,000 of whom reside in the United States, according to United States Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) numbers.

“Ten years ago today, I stood by President Obama as we carried out one of our proudest accomplishments,” Biden said. “On this 10th DACA Anniversary, we celebrate the transformational impact it's had on hundreds of thousands of young people. It's time for Congress to make this permanent now.”

The calls to make the program permanent are being made as the United States sees a record-setting spike in illegal alien crossings at the Southern Border.

In April, more than 234,000 illegal aliens were encountered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the most in history, as foreigners continue to pour across the open border.

Recent reports suggest that CBP's morale is virtually non-existent, and that many of its agents harbor contempt for the , which has stood by idly amid the crisis.

  1. (June 16, 2022, Washington, D.C.) — The Federation for American Immigration Reform issued the following statement, as well as a deeper dive into record-setting May border numbers, based on data released late June 15 by the Biden administration:
    “May was a record-setting month for the Biden administration. Record high gas prices, 40-year high inflation numbers, and a record number of illegal aliens encountered at our borders – surpassing the old record set all the way back…in April,” noted Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
    “But even the raw number of 239,416 border encounters does not tell the full story. In May, U.S. Customs and Border Protection apprehended an unprecedented number of criminals, gang members, and lethal drugs pouring across the border that will almost certainly lead to a new record in opioid-related deaths. Safe to say, none of these are the sort of records the American public were looking for when they elected Joe Biden. In fact, the best thing that can be said about the crisis the president has created at the border is that it could have been a whole lot worse if not for the fact the a federal judge blocked President Biden’s plan to end Title 42 last month. And yet, in spite of the mounting disaster, President Biden steadfastly refuses to change any of the policies that truly are the root causes of this crisis,” Stein said.
    FAIR Border Snapshot for May 2022
    • Southwest border encounters set another single-month record in May.
    • CBP had 239,416 migrant encounters at the Southwest border in May 2022, including 165,200 single adults, 59,517 family units, and 14,699 unaccompanied minors.
    o 32.6 percent increase from May 2021 (180,597).
    o 930.3 percent increase from May 2020 (33,049).
    o Over 1 in 3 migrants encountered by Border Patrol were single adults.
    • This is the HIGHEST number of monthly encounters in the last two decades.
    • Since President Biden took office, there have been over 2.9 million migrant encounters at the southern border alone.
    • May was the 15th straight month with more than 150,000 encounters
    • CBP expelled only 42 percent of individuals under Title 42 in May 2022, again highlighting the Biden administration’s refusal to fully utilize the public health authority.
    o If Title 42 is eventually terminated, CBP expects up to 18,000 migrant encounters per day.
    • One thing to keep in mind: border encounter numbers do not include those who got away from immigration authorities. CBP sources quietly revealed that there have been 440,000 “known gotaways” at the border since Fiscal Year 2022 began. This already exceeds reports of 390,000 known got away in all of Fiscal Year 2021.
    Notable Criminal Activity in May 2022
    • The Biden border crisis is much more than migrants seeking asylum – criminals, weapons, and trafficked persons are coming across our border in record numbers.
    • Border Patrol agents arrested two child sex offenders, five MS-13 gang members, and a Paisas gang member together, many of whom had been previously deported from the United States
    • Agents arrested an MS-13 gang member from El Salvador who had been previously arrested in Atlanta in connection with a kidnapping and murder
    • CBP officers seized over $550,000 worth of cocaine at a single port of entry, and later seized more than $1.5 million worth of cocaine at the World Trade Bridge.
    • In Laredo, TX agents shut down a criminal trafficker’s stash house that contained over 60 illegal aliens from Central America
    The Biden Drug Crisis is the Greatest Public Health Threat
    • In May 2022, CBP seized 620 pounds of drugs.
    • Fentanyl seizures continue to climb, totaling 405 pounds since the start of the fiscal year.
    o According to the CDC, the U.S. recently recorded its highest number of drug-overdose deaths in a 12-month period, eclipsing 108,000 for the first time.
    • Since January, CBP has seized 470 pounds of cocaine.
    • Methamphetamine seizures are on the rise – CBP has seized an astounding 1,735 pounds of meth since January.

    2022 All “Rhinos” up for reelection must go! All Far left Socialist, Marxist, Islamist Democrats must go! Careerists that have shown their ugly, true colors over the past 4 years 8 months must go! Term Limits must be mandated, and legislation voted on and passed and those that balked must go!
    It is our long overdue time to act and ensure that all those we know that have been and are now overly concerned about America get involved, and if not registered do so and insure you and they vote to save our Nation or suffer the “very negative consequences” which have already started vigorously.
    Today: Joe Biden has committed violation after violation of “The Rule of Law, Constitutional Law, Congressional Law, International protocol with our Allies, Immigration Law and State’s sovereignty His actions are nothing short of that of a “DICTATOR” as all his Executive Orders, and clandestine coercion of both friend and foe are all geared to remove and replace all that his hated non-politician predecessor accomplished and put into place for the good of the Nation. AND did you know Joe Biden has issued yet another Executive Order to “TAKE DOWN PORTIONS OF THE CONSTRUCTED WALL IN ARIZONA”? Joe Biden has no conscience and no morality and an enormous hatred of all “that is right” with America yet America gave him all that he has!
    The following comments written before the current Biden debacles occurred (Afghanistan being the most egregious) and ongoing aiding and abetting the spread of COVID-19 via his open borders because of Biden’s violation of our national immigration laws and the thousands of illegals now roaming our states, spending our tax dollars that they are lavishly given by Joe Biden’s Administration.
    Biden (Enemy of the State)
    WH Protestor incarceration without due process. “Theft of Private Property” (eight hundred private lockboxes) without due process and a legal warrant. Permanently closes/shuts down a legitimate USA business and uses the FBI to do so. Marxist Dictator anyone. You who voted for this man and those who aided and abetted him in the theft of the national election may not be so happy when he comes for you as well. I did not think we could do any worse than Obama, but Biden has topped him and in less than (4) months. Update: Now 8 months.
    Comments on Biden’s so-called “address to the nation” (in lower case to represent the fact that Biden has “not one honest bone in his body” and for the utter disdain I have for him and his socialist political party).
    However, he did, directly let us know he has no intention of doing anything for the good of the hard working, industrious American worker, quite the contrary.
    Hey, do you who voted for this miscreant now realize the error of your ballot casting? Are (8) months of his actions a nightmare enough to wake you up! Here are your Biden Administration rewards so far: You have the chance to redeem yourselves and to show America you care about our heritage coming up in 2022.
    1. Border crisis, largest number ever of refugee/illegals crossing our southern border in any President’s first 3 months in office. Biden assigns his VP KH to oversee “the border situation” and both refuse to call it a ‘border crisis” refusing to “see for themselves” when everyone with any “common sense” and is being affected by “the border situation” is beyond flabbergasted and annoyed (to put it politely).
    2. Those refugees/illegals being forced on US States that do not have the budget or facilities to pay for and accommodate them, unfair on all levels; extreme monetary burden besides the heath issues they bring with them! Holding areas are overwhelmed and health issues explode along with the fact that many are COVID-19 untested or already have COVID-19!
    3. XL Pipeline shut down, extreme loss of tax dollars and good paying jobs. Biden’s illegal Executive Order defies Congressional legislation funding the project. Where is the outrage from Congress, affected States must sue Biden to reverse his “Exec’ Order? Time is money, when will the lawsuit outcome be determined? And then Joe Biden “BEGS” OPEC for more oil!
    4. Existing oil pipeline “hacked” causing 15,000 gas stations to go without gas. Biden’s Exec’ Orders had already caused gasoline prices to rise Nationwide which will now continue for who knows how long. The “hackers” were emboldened by Biden’s foreign policies which have made America look timid, weak, and accommodating to those who would challenge him; (China and Iran anyone)? Oh yes, the “hackers” are known to the FBI (?) and are, even though supposedly not part of the Russian Regime, are based in Russia! Instead of pursuit, international cooperation, and incarceration, the “hackers publicly admit the crime,” announce they are not done and are “paid handsomely by the ownership of the pipeline” for their illicit crime against America. WOW, and who said crime does not pay?
    5. Biden enters the Oval Office and strikes (18) Executive Orders in his first (24) hours and all of them have proven to be hurtful to our Nation and its’ citizens. His motivation, most assuredly to reverse all the good a non-politician Donald Trump) was able to do for that same Nation and its’ citizens.
    6. Biden and his cohorts in Congress (the House) are increasing the National Debt by “TRILLIONS” and believe in the “good fairy” or the Leprechaun’s “gold at the end of the rainbow” oh, not so? I know, Biden’s promise will be reversed as all his campaign promises are or will be ignored, spun, or just flat out denied (the Democrats are good at that). Because guess what, Biden knows where the money is going to come from, working in America and our struggling corporations via tax hikes and then subsequent tax hikes, oh yes, they are coming!
    7. Biden is a pariah and an extreme threat to (the list is too long) as are the counter productive and costly actions he has already implemented and unfortunately, he is not done unless we stop him. (2022) we as voters can insure, he becomes a “LAME DUCK” President and if we do not his first term will be the most destructive, we have ever experienced and I thought Obama held that infamous title, Biden has taken it from him in less that (4) months!
    AND there it is, the transparency and the bi-partisan cooperation Biden promised, however, in a completely different context than his campaign promises represented.
    Could the (Giuliani) raid be any more transparent as a “Get Back” at a man that is a very real threat to Biden, his family and all the corrupt miscreants of his inner circle? The current version of DOJ and the FBI are a disgrace to law enforcement and our Nation. Both should be under federal investigation, however, until Conservatives win back the majority, we will have to endure their corrupt dealings as neither will be touched by this Congress which is another matter altogether.
    WE, as a “NATION” can do something about Congress and once we have done that, we can demand the new members start that investigation to include vetting all their employees. If the results of that vetting deplete their workforce (as I suspect, it will) then do the same for Homeland Security. Once all are vetted and the bad, politicized, corrupt, biased employees are gone (with OPM red flags stopping future federal employment) then roll what is left into a single entity with a moniker such as, “Homeland Security and National Law Enforcement Agency”. The federal budget savings will be enormous and the employee base (at least at its inception) will be comprised of persons that care about our Nation and not a political party. And, in so doing also create a calendar for review of job performance that is for all employees (top to bottom).
    Other budget savings, dismantle and dissolve the IRS, the Department of Education and the myriad of federal government agencies that have been previously identified by accounting review as having redundant mission activities.
    How do we manage Congress, we demand, each one of us, that our representatives in the House and the Senate bring legislation to the floor for “Congressional Term Limits” and insist their vote is cast to pass that legislation? If not, they will not be an incumbent much longer. Our Founding Fathers never envisioned a career be made serving in Congress and if alive today they would most certainly put a stop to it. In addition, we demand their autonomy be taken away and their employment package be placed with OPM to include all the current absurd rewards they have voted for themselves be discontinued. Congress has no fear of the voter and no loyalty to their constituents if they control their own destinies which they do as career politicians.
    I believe that the term must be long enough to do the job but short enough to deter a certain type of person from even running for a seat in Congress. I propose: Senate (8) years House (6) years and now that SCOTUS has entered the political arena the justice seats must also be toppled from lifetime to term limits as well. SCOTUS “Term Limits” will inherently serve two purposes; it will expedite the extraordinary amount of time now taken to hear/rule on cases and will curtail (hopefully) the current politicization of their appointments. SCOTUS a term limit of (10) years.
    Hey Governors, yes, you who have southern borders that are being overrun, what about standing up for your constituents (your state’s legal residents) and set up a secondary, interior border from the entry border that the fed’s control. Federal law enforcement officer’s hands are tied behind their backs by this so-called President because they are obligated to conduct his Executive Orders on immigration even though they conflict with our immigration laws. Lawsuits will eventually put Biden down, however, in the meantime his agenda’s goals are being fulfilled 24/7.
    So, Governors, stop the refugee/illegal flood in its tracks. Take control of your interior and deny entry, turn the buses around and let them sit idling at the border. You have the legal right and the moral obligation to protect the health and welfare of your state’s residents and Biden has no justification, legal or otherwise to blatantly jeopardize both. Biden is acting as a “DICTATOR” placing his “PERSONAL” agenda over state, citizen concerns for their (health and welfare) and the Governor’s obligation to protect both.
    Biden, Harris, Pelosi, and the rest of their political groupies have no patriotism and certainly no care or concern for the legal citizens of the United States of America and their “open the border” policy proves that fact without equivocation. We can stop them in 2022 (make him a lame duck president by our votes) however, action “now” is mandated as they will not stop the inflow of refugees/illegals until they are made to do so!
    I am one mad “Patriot” and short of taking up arms against our fed’s I am doing all that I can to personally impact and change what is wrong with our Nation and what voter apathy, non-registration to vote and the hard to understand “what I call cattle mentality” of the public to believe the vile propaganda being spewed over our airwaves 24/7 by an anti-heritage America mass media. Come-on folks, where is your common sense, where is your desire to have the rule-of-law applied/upheld, where is your disgust and abhorrence of BLM and ANTIFA and enemies of the state like George Soros? You who voted for the Biden/Harris ticket how do you feel now? Did you expect Biden’s campaigns promises to be conducted in the manner they are unfolding (the exact opposite of) well we did who knew better and voted for our President Trump. Did you expect refugees/illegals to be the new Administration’s top priority at the expense of the Nation and its legal citizens? Well, 2022 is your chance to make amends and vote for Conservatives who do “have your back” and have been proving that as fact despite the uphill battle they have had to endure to do so.
    Can you not understand why the Left controlled media and entertainment industry hated Donald Trump as did all the Liberal Left Socialist career politicians? From their perspective: How dare a wealthy business man (proven winner despite personal economic losses) run for the presidency, how dare he do a better job of it than career politicians, how dare he do it without payback to those he owed (he owed no one) after all aren’t pork barrel projects a career politician’s moniker, how dare he believe in the American people after all aren’t they our chattel and most of all the Far Left Socialist Democrats hatred of our Constitutional Republic (Democracy) and his mantra, lets “Make America Great” again.
    Oh yes, how double dare Donald Trump donate his salary to a charity of his choice; those salary dollars are from taxes, and we own them, and he is giving our tax dollars away? Again, proving Donald Trump is a man of integrity despite all the opposition’s attempts to paint him otherwise and thus their hate intensifies as all, I mean all their attempts to discredit him have failed and failed miserably!
    Get smart, get mad, get payback, and make Biden’s assault on our Democracy end by making his last two years in office “hell on earth” as he has done to our America his first 100+ days in office and will continue to do unless stopped in 2022 by your votes for Conservatives, thus making him the “lame duck” he deserves to be. And the worst of it is that it is becoming more evident and clearer to America that Joe Biden is sitting in the oval office based on a national vote total that is based on fraudulent, altered, and illegal ballots.
    So, all you who are informed, Conservative voters who know Christians who do not register nor vote, apathetic voters who see incumbent and vote “status-quo”, the delusional that believe “this too will pass” or “all things work out for the best” and the habitual who vote for the same political party because that is what their family has done for generations show them a different way to think. Please encourage them to look, listen and seek the truth before casting their votes and those that do not vote let them know why that is detrimental to the continuance of the freedoms, they unfortunately take for granted or believe they do not have to defend to have.
    “God Bless America” and “In God We Trust” must never be forgotten or abandoned by America because those beliefs are the corner stone of the foundation of our Constitutional Republic (Democracy). The Founding Fathers were most assuredly “divinely inspired” as their creation of documents to provide/establish/guide a government such as ours has been unsurpassed since they created it. That reality is more in jeopardy today than ever before in our history.
    Voter abstinence, apathy, and lack of oversight have allowed what we have in the oval office today, a viable and deadly threat to our America and we must wake-up and fight back before it is too late because “the end” is on the near horizon if we do not! “Partisan bias” must be stricken from our political vocabulary and replaced with an honest, faithful to, bi-partisan approach to solving our nation’s problems. Cooperation unifies and allows differences to exist, extreme bias separates. We had our physical Civil War, and it was a horrible blight on our Nation and now we are in another war, but for now on a political level, let us end it before another horror besets our Nation because American Patriots will never let our Nation fall into the quagmire of Socialism! Where is the former Democratic Party, it is not what calls itself that in today’s world?
    Remember the results of the man and not that he had a personality for which you did not care. President Donald Trump was a winner, a patriot and he most assuredly put you and America first. Take a moment and look at what his accomplishments were, you will find they were good for you and our Nation. Past Presidents of the United States that were “slick, smooth, charismatic talkers” were also devious, put political party or personal bias first and may or may not have been successful in their role as President. Another non-politician President, Ronald Reagan, also outshined and performed his predecessors as did Donald Trump.
    And as of today (06/10/2022) the egregious list of his “violations of the law of the land” has exponentially grown, much to the chagrin and utter dismay of me and my fellow Patriots!

  2. I’m willing to entertain the DACA proposal AFTER we have a full investigation into the 2020 election.

  3. Give us all a break. This is like the 35th act of the stupid show. Will no one stop all of this. It’s crazy.

    • The dem0crats are at it again. When will those members in congress not understand that the USA has laws. & many have obeyed those laws & immigrated the correct way.
      If they lie & cheat or use a false name to get into the USA like some of those have done during the Obama/Biden administration they will lie & cheat about anything . The will never be good citizens Because they have already broken the law & have no respect for the rule of law. Omar ( Not her real name) is a prime example
      The only thing to do is deport all & that includes the so-called refugees who have enter the USA not vetted & health checked during the Obama/Biden & the Biden/Harris administration
      Get rid of thes illegal foreign national invaders first

  4. The only obligation we have is to enforce our laws and deport every illegal in this country. That is the only permanent solution for this country.

  5. There may be DACA adults who are doing the right thing, but it is difficult to say. In Sept 2016, Obama addresses a DACA gatheirn ghosted by Gina Rodriguez. She said all who live here shuld be called citizens because they contribute to society. Obama said,”Not true. When you vote, you are a citizen.” He spent three minutes explaining that INS data bases are not linked to data bases of voter rolls. “So, you can vote without fear of exposing any undocumented household members.”

  6. No one has put accountability where it belongs. Obama issued this DACA which was void in the beginning. The DACA kids(most are adults) should refer to their parents for their existence here. They came here illegally and we have laws addressing this.

    • You are correct, but it is not just that Biden is morally bankrupt, it is the wickedness of an extremely evil heart of not only Biden’s but a huge majority of the people of this nation who has allowed, and even supported the abominations of evolution, homosexuality, same-sex marriages, transgenderism, abortion, and the rejection of God and His WORD.
      God has been warning this us that He will repay the United States double for her iniquities.

  7. DACA, if considered at all, should be side-lined until the current lawless immigration is enforced and the wall is completed. Currently, we have enough DACA, Democrats Acting to Con America.

  8. enough with the name calling” xenophobic” . They arrived illegally they need to leave! No other country in the world will allow this and in the other countries they remove you one way or another.

    • You are correct But the USA needs to remove all the so-called executive orders that were put into place.
      The countries of South America will be glad to have you all (I do not think so)

  9. Obama and Biden knew it was wrong to use Executive action for a program like this. The supreme court has since agreed they overstepped their bounds. There is no way the American people are going to agree to this now that Biden has let millions of unknown people into this country. He needs to shut down our borders and focus on unleashing our ability to become energy independent and rein in inflation. Hint: reining in inflation does not mean the government should spend more money. It means the opposite.

  10. This should not be done and no way should there be a path to citizenship for these illegal aliens. They are here illegally, this is a fact. The parents knew what they were doing when they brought them here. They were convinced that in the end, they would get away with it.
    This hurts everyday working Americans as these phony dreamers and other illegals take our jobs. Only corporate America benefits along with the Democrats. The corporations get abundant cheap labor while the Democrats get additional voters.
    Most of all this phony Dreamer Act does not solve the problem but makes it worse. Word will get out to the entire third world that if you illegally cross the border with children, then you get to stay and your children get citizenship, not deportation. Instead hundreds of thousands of future dreamers we get tens of millions of future dreamers.

  11. Why has this taken so long (decades)?

    Anyone with half a brain would have realized decades ago this issues needs a solution. OOPS, have a brain leaves out all of DC.

    Now that votes are needed the Dems are pushing this, the only reason it com3 up now. What poor ethics we have throughout DC.

    Rather than make DC a state we should cut it lose and let it go out to sea and sink.
