Trump crafting plan to slash legal immigration - Page 3

That's been tried many times with the DREAM Act. In the past they would attach it to a must pass budget measure. Numbers USA would get involved and it would be removed. They have people on their staff who's job it is to spot "attached" legislation.

The concern is that if those republican AGs do end up suing the administration over DACA, they will likely do so in a federal circuit that they know will have an anti-immigration judge (they've done it many times with pro-life, etc), and who may decide to put a hold on DACA until it is argued in court. There's no way to know of course but they've done similar things in the past (DAPA)

ICE doesn't have our info. USCIS does.

AFIK

Yes, but once DACA ends, there is a transfer of information from USCIS, over to ICE.

Where does it say that? I don't believe that is automatic. Of course, they could decide to transfer it over, but as far as I know it is not automatic.

This is NOT good. A lot of people on here have somehow convinced themselves that if Trump passes harsh anti-immigration laws that affect OTHER PEOPLE, then he will somehow show his heart and pass a law that will help THEM. That is a foolish thought.

If anything, it will embolden him and create an even more anti-immigration climate. And if you think this wouldn't affect you, think again. Even if your foolish theory is correct that this might lead into something more substantial for Dreamers, it also will mean that you will not be able to help your family members in the future.

Don't ever negotiate against yourself. It's crazy to already want to offer everything to Republicans in exchange for what MIGHT happen.

This is good if it ends up being conducive to passing of DACA legislation.

IamAman You're so right! I couldn't have said it better. "Fuck everyone else as long as I get papers" mentality is absurd.

Gotta start living with reality.

There will never be a mass amnesty.

Best we can hope for is DACA legislation.

This "amnesty for all or nada" mentality is major hurdle standing on the way of DACA legislation.
