Biden administration rushing to strengthen DACA, official says

The Biden Administration isn’t waiting for Congress to act before working to strengthen DACA, the Obama-era program that provides legal residency to immigrants who came to the U.S. as children, a high-ranking federal immigration official said during a May 17 virtual gathering of faith-based legal services providers.

“We are actually working to fortify and preserve DACA as directed by a presidential memo that was signed on Jan. 20,” said Felicia Escobar Carrillo, chief of staff in the office of the director of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency that oversees American immigration policy. “One of the things we’re thinking hard about is how to preserve the program via regulatory policy.”

“We have folks on our team who are working around the clock on that with DHS (Department of Human Services) and DOJ (Department of Justice) to move forward,” she said. “It should be coming soon. It’s something that we are committed to getting done within months, not years, because we know how important the program is. That’s really at the top of our list.”

DACA for life folks. Time to swipe right on Tinder.

I will get that tattooed across my chest.

Lazy, wishful efforts that will most likely end in failure.

I am guessing even Biden thinks congress won't pass any immigration related bills so they are trying to concrete the DACA (At least for people who already have since the beginning).

DACA for life indeed.

Lmfaooooo this is all we getting or Henen is ending it, great job. We had better chances of finally getting fixed with Orange man. But hey orange man bad.

I doubt that is even possible. You would think a President who graduated from Harvard Law School would have figured out the loophole or loopholes and strengthened the program the first time. Protecting current DACA recipients is one issue. The other issue is the Dreamers who were left out of DACA as a result of stupid arbitrary requirements.

Attorneys tend to do this. They make far fetched efforts hoping something sticks permanently. (Cough cough Giuliani and his claims of election fraud in the 2020 election).

The thing is Biden could be exerting more pressure for a deal. Or, am I wrong? Someone please tell me I’m wrong if I am.

Any bets on Hanen ending DACA, so Congress can act?

50 year old DACA kids. Here we go.

Extended time, asylum, what can they really do?

I will see you in hell.
