There are 16 LEGAL immigrant classifications: of those, 6 groups aren’t permitted to work or receive compensation from U.S. companies while they’re in America. Congress has responsibility to establish immigration law; they’ve restricted, by law, the right to be employed for certain classifications, and to imply Obama’s DACA enactment is exempt from such a concept is the height of deceit….but what else is new?
Attorney General Sessions has announced DACA will be wound down over the next 6 months, giving Congress plenty of time to work some fix if they see the need. Over that period, no new protections are allowed, and no-one’s status will be revoked (unless, we assume, an unlawful act by a Dreamer is committed, which would justify revocation).
And, it’s reported that Homeland Security has just announced the closing of a back-door citizenship program surreptitiously established by a hidden Obama process that allowed Dreamers to file for ‘advanced parole’ which ultimately put 40k+ on track for citizenship.
Now, it’s time for Congress to do its job…properly…in accordance with the people’s will.
As one news outlet put it, during the presidential election process debates, Hillary noted that she would expand DACA…Donald Trump said he would end it…and the people’s will spoke in November, with Mr. Trump’s election.
If you were a LEGAL immigrant yet banned from working in the United States during your stay, wouldn’t you be at least a little resentful that ILLEGAL immigrants could?
