| Trump’s Immigration Guidance: Dreamers and Parents of U.S. Citizens Are Safe for Now; Most Others Must Go |
| 2017-02-22 |
| [CNSNEWS] Homeland Security Secretary Gen. John Kelly on Tuesday released two memoranda, explaining how the Trump administration plans to implement the president's executive orders designed to "stem illegal immigration" and remove illegal aliens "who have no lawful basis to enter or remain in the United States." Notably, the new guidance exempts, for the time being, the 750,000 "dreamers" who came to this country as children and who received temporary legal status under President B.O. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. In fact, Kelly rescinded all previous immigration directives and guidance -- except for Obama's 2012 DACA guidance dealing with individuals who came to the U.S. as children; and the 2014 memo dealing with certain individuals who are the parents of U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The first memo implements President Trump’s executive order on "Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements." In this document, Secretary Kelly directs the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency to "immediately being the process of hiring 5,000 additional Border Patrol agents" as well as 500 Air & Marine Agents/Officers. (The second memo directs Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to "expeditiously" hire 10,000 officers and agents.) In another manpower boost, DHS is expanding the 287(g) program. This program allows DHS to authorize qualified law enforcement officers to "perform the functions of an immigration officer" when encountering illegal aliens. (The memo notes that from January 2006 through September 2015, the 287(g) Program led to the identification of more than 402,000 removable aliens, primarily through encounters at local jails.) |

| #4 And we need to change the amendment in the Constitution that says if someone is born here then they are a citizen. They should only be a citizen if one parent is American. Illegals come here when pregnant on a visa to have babies. Many organizations are encouraging such behavior because of the baby automatically becomes a citizen of the U.S. Among the organizations directing illegal aliens into America's medical systems are the Ford Foundation-funded Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund; the National Immigration Law Center; the American Immigration Lawyers Association; the American Bar Association's Commission on Immigration Policy, Practice, and Pro Bono; the Immigrant Legal Resource Center; the National Council of George Soros's Open Society Institute; the Migration Policy Institute; the National Network for Immigration and Refugee Rights; and the Southern Poverty Law Center. And there are more... Illegal Aliens and American Medicine. It's worse than most think. |

| #3 Even though they are illegal, if they must stay, they should not be able to bring in their extended family. After the age of 18 or maybe 26, their family should have to leave. And we need to change the amendment in the Constitution that says if someone is born here then they are a citizen. They should only be a citizen if one parent is American. |
