Officials at the agency accepted new requests from 17,275 illegals from January 1 to March 31 and approved two-year extensions for 107,524 of the illegals who earlier got work permits, Social Security cards and federal financial aid via the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals quasi-amnesty created by former President Barack Obamain the run-up to the 2012election.

PresidentDonald Trump was inauguratedJanuary 2o, ensuring most of the new and renewed DACA work permits were approvedduring his presidency, despite his campaign promises to halt the DACA programwhich now includes roughly 765,000 younger illegal immigrants.

Trumps supporters shoulduse their political clout to make Trump do the right thing, said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. Now wehave data, and theres noquestion that hesissuing thousands of work permits to new illegal aliens so probably the correct approach [for Trump supporters] is adetermined insistence on [Trump] doing the right thing, he said. The administration is doing a lot of good stuff, he added, noting that Trump is under constant pressure from liberals who wont give him any credit even when he does somethingthey like.

The administration is doing a lot of good stuff on immigration, Krikorian added, noting that Trump is under constant pressure from liberals who wont give him any credit even when he does somethingthey prefer.

The DACA population is large, given that 4 million young Americans enter the job market each year to face job competition from up to 1 million new immigrants, from 1 million temporary contract workers and from the resident population of 8 million working illegal immigrants.

Immigration reformers denounced the news:

Issuing new work permits to illegals who dont have them already makes no sense at all, either from a P.R. perspective or politically, wrote Krikorian wrote:

Renewals, at least for a time, I can understand the [media] orgy of sob stories that would result from ending the work permits of some three-quarters of a million people would be a wonder to behold

Though I was initially skeptical, it might even make sense to try to trade a real, lawful amnesty for the DACAs in exchange for important immigration changes only Congress can pass specifically, universal E-Verify and cuts in legal immigration. In that case, announcing that renewals would continue until, say, the end of the year could be a powerful motivator for congressional Democrats.

My speculation is that the White House has no idea what to do about DACA and so is just letting it continue on autopilot amnestying 192 new illegals a day.John Kelly, thesecretary of the Department of Homeland Security, said June 7 that officials are not seeking to repatriate DACA illegals.We are not, not, not, targetingDACA registrants right now, he said.

Critics say the DACA program may be vulnerable to a lawsuit by immigration reformers.

We will immediately terminate President Obamas two illegal executive amnesties in which he defied federal law and the Constitution to give amnesty to approximately five million illegal immigrants, five million, Trump said August 31, 2016, referring to the DACA and the so-called DAPA amnesty, which was struck down by a federal court in Texas.
