Trump official holds out hope on negotiated settlement of DACA
 

With Supreme Court oral arguments in the DACA immigration case less than a month away, a top Trump administration official on held out the possibility that a negotiated solution could be reached to keep so-called “dreamers” in the U.S. — even if the high court rules against them.

“I think you could see some movement in that direction,” said Ken Cuccinelli, head of the Department of Homeland Security’s Citizenship & Immigration Services division.

Cuccinelli appeared Wednesday before reporters at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.

Cuccinelli, a hardline conservative, was asked what would happen to the estimated 660,000 DACA — an acronym for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — recipients, most of whom were brought to the U.S. illegally as children, if the Supreme Court sides with the Trump administration.

Cuccinelli said they would simply go back to non-legal status. But that would not necessarily subject them to deportation in the short term, he added.

“They don’t have any (deportation) orders against them, but they are not here with legal presence,” he said. With a backlog of more than a million deportation orders, Immigration & Customs Enforcement has prioritized “criminal aliens” who are released from U.S. prisons.

We have legal status?!?

We have lawful presence. Big difference

We are lawfully present and soon we will be gettin legal status once a concrete bill passes, most likely after the election. Dreamers are Number 1 in line to be legalized.

Yeah fucking right, they are going to come for us, they got our information, and by the looks of it according to their excuse for the new fees they are going to fight hard to get more information out of us for deportation reasons. Being here illegally is a FEDERAL crime, ALL OF US got deportation orders.

GOOD FUCKING JOB UNITED WE DREAM!!! Your fucking bullshit demands of legalization for all or nothing fucked the only chance we had to be saved, may the fucking worst happen to each and every one of you fking idiots in charge. Burn in hell fucktards.
