For 3 decades, Congress shuns immigration duty

Gregory Chen, the American Immigration Lawyers Association’s director of government relations, said the tweet didn’t carry weight without more specific instructions by the Department of Homeland Security to agents in the field. Each day, I have the privilege to educate students from various backgrounds, and several happen to be beneficiaries of the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

President Donald Trump’s reversal of the Obama-era executive order protecting young undocumented immigrants from deportation has sparked debate in the Bloomington-Normal community. She said she’s afraid for her younger sister who now can’t apply for DACA. Those affected are mostly from Mexico, El Salvador and Honduras, though most have never seen those countries since they were small children.

“Now, after months of anxiety and fear about their futures, these fearless young people face deportation”, the conference of bishops said in a statement.

The development came just a day after Trump ignored the recommendations of GOP House and Senate leaders and sided with Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of NY in favor of a three-month extension of the government’s borrowing limit. “Congress must now move immediately to pass legislation that protects these courageous, patriotic DREAMers”. Instead what DACA does is that it offers the immigrants protection against immigration. “However, we do not support policies that would penalize young people who were brought to our country as children through no fault of their own”.

SUYA leader Rodriguez isn’t giving up either.
