Deferring a DACA decision while hoping Congress will do its job is futile

We posted previously that Congress…not a president…establishes immigration law, and clearly, what Obama did was unconstitutional…Pres Trump must do the right thing.

As explained here, the Dream Act which Obama put into place does the following:

“To be eligible, an illegal immigrant had to enter the country as a minor and be under the age of 31 as of the day Obama signed the order. They also must have a largely-clean criminal record. The program does not give legal status or citizenship to those who use it, it merely defers deportation for two years and grants eligibility for a work permit…an illegal immigrant had to enter the country before June 2007.”

But it’s not the whole story: loopholes and a feckless Congress need to be addressed.

Many speak of deferring to Congress. What a joke. Leaving an unconstitutional Dream Act on the books while waiting for those pathetic vote-chasers is an exercise in futility.

And, we wonder if those asking the President to defer to Congress on the matter of dealing with the Dream Act realize there’s a loophole Obama hid that gains illegals citizenship…and over 45,000 Dreamers now have access to ‘loophole citizenship’?

That’s a matter which demands thorough review, to ensure against abuse.

Furthermore…

Mr. Trump should set a specific date for Congress to have an acceptable law in place and, if that date is passed without the necessary legislation…so be it, DACA is dead.
