Biden Calls Out judges, Democratic Congress on DACA

The 5th Circuit’s recent decision both announces a likely end to the program and delays a more definite ruling. Although the decision agreed with the lower court’s “excellent opinion” that DACA suffers “fundamental substantive defects” that make it unlawful, the 5th Circuit sent the case back to the district court for further consideration in light of pending regulations from the Biden administration. These regulations, finalized in August and set to take effect Oct. 31, would almost exactly replicate the existing DACA. However, they contain some changes meant to repair legal flaws identified by the courts.

President Biden lashed out at the Fifth Circuit and the Republican-governed states that have been fighting DACA in the courts, calling the peril to Dreamers “just another example of the extreme agenda being pushed by Republican officials.” He also said, “It is long past time for Congress to pass permanent protections for Dreamers, including a pathway to citizenship.”

Biden be like:

All Biden & the Democrats do is give us lip service. They could have overridden the senate parliamentarian to get a DACA solution but they decided not to.

Let’s be real, from this point forward all they will give us is lip service when in reality they want to keep using us as pawns for future elections.

Sad but 100% true

Biden would have signed that into law though. Manchin and Sinema are the only Dems unwilling to override parliamentarian.

This was the issue. And this is why they need to get at least 2 more Dems in the Senate in November.

But I also think, if the Dems put forward a targeted bill (DREAMers/DACA only legislation) both would be on board as long as there is some component of border security.

Ten years after the beginning of the DACA program granting hundreds of thousands of undocumented youth protection for deportation and permission to work, the future of the program remains uncertain.

The Fifth Circuit sent the case back to a lower federal court for further deliberations. The decision allows individuals with DACA to keep that status and to apply for two-year renewals. The court found that the original was unlawful, but it asked the lower court to consider the impact of a Biden administration regulation on the matter.

For now, if you don’t have DACA already, you may not apply. The case is likely to end up in the U.S. Supreme Court. It’s hard to predict how that court will rule, but a victory for the DACA program is possible, despite the court’s conservative bent.

As for Congress, hardcore anti-immigrants have managed to convince both parties that providing any benefit for any immigrant will result in electoral losses. Until we can change public perceptions on immigration, I see little hope for a path to permanent legal status for DACA holders.
