Q)Is the process consistent with the President and Secretary’s statements that no population of individuals will receive categorical administrative relief?
A)Yes. DHS will not provide categorical relief to any population, including those that would have qualified under the DREAM Act. Instead, each determination will be made on a case-by-case basis. All decisions will be based on the June 17, 2011 Prosecutorial Discretion memorandum as implemented by the working group.

Q)Will removal proceedings or removals be halted while the interagency working group completes its review?
A)No. DHS will continue to enforce immigration laws. ICE attorneys and agents, however, will be tasked to review each case prior to the expenditure of resources to determine whether it is a priority case as defined in the June 30, 2010 Civil Enforcement Priorities memorandum and the June 17, 2011 Prosecutorial Discretion memorandum. Removals will continue while the working group undertakes its review.

They would have probably deported all the 300,000 by the time the "review" is done. LOL

Q)Can individuals affirmatively apply for an exercise of discretion through this process?
A)No.

Quote:
Q)Does the implementation of the process mean that only individuals with criminal convictions will be removed?
A)No. Many individuals who have violated civil immigration law but lack a criminal conviction are a DHS priority for removal from the United States. This process is designed to free up additional resources to process and remove high priority cases. DHS priorities include threats to public safety and national security, repeat violators of immigration law, recent illegal border entrants, and immigration fugitives

So basically this does nothing to help any of us, yet the republicans are screaming amnesty. I feel like everything Obama does in regards to immigration is intended to please republicans who will NEVER agree with him on anything. I hope immigration advocates see right through this smoke screen and don't back down.
