Leading Senate Democrats Push Expansion of Backdoor Amnesty Program
Longtime amnesty advocates Senate Majority Whip, Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Senate Immigration Subcommittee Chair, Charles Schumer (D-NY), hosted a private meeting last week with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton to discuss expanding the Administration’s backdoor amnesty program aimed at administratively closing removal cases of illegal aliens. (CQ Today, Jan. 24, 2012; see also Morton Memos) The meeting took place in Sen. Durbin’s DC office, where Sens. Durbin and Schumer reportedly urged Morton to quickly implement the amnesty initiative nationwide and fix any problems encountered during the program’s pilot phase. (Id.)
In addition to calling for the program’s nationwide expansion, the Senators argued the Administration is not going far enough in executing its backdoor amnesty initiative. At the meeting, Sen. Schumer presented Director Morton with a letter requesting that the Administration grant deferred action and work authorization to illegal aliens whose cases are closed. . “The inability to work and support oneself and one’s family would make a favorable exercise of discretion a potentially hollow victory to the vast majority of those who may otherwise benefit from this discretionary exercise of law enforcement priorities,” wrote Schumer. (Read the letter here) Sen. Durbin echoed Sen. Schumer’s sentiments in a statement following the meeting: “I commend the Department of Homeland Security for the steps it is taking to implement it, but more needs to be done and it needs to be done quickly.” (CQ Today, Jan. 24, 2012)
Deferred action status is what DHS grants when it decides, by its own discretion, not to remove an illegal alien. Those who receive deferred action usually also receive work authorization. There is no statutory basis for deferred action status, as it is merely referred to in the federal regulations (See, e.g. USCIS Ombudsman memo, Apr. 6, 2007 (citing 8 C.F.R. 274a.12(c)(14)). Even more troubling, deferred action is not subject to judicial review. (Reno v. American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Comm., 525 U.S. 471, 484, 492 (1999)) (See FAIR Legislative Update, Mar. 14, 2011) In 2010, the Obama Administration granted deferred action to over 12,000 illegal aliens (FAIR Legislative Update, Apr. 25, 2011)
Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), opposed his colleagues’ proposal to grant illegal aliens deferred action and work authorization. “That would be amnesty,” Grassley said. “The power that the president has for parole is meant to be done on an individual-by-individual basis.” (Id.)
If the Administration grants the wishes of Sens. Durbin and Schumer, it would allow tens of thousands of illegal and otherwise deportable aliens to compete with the over 13 million unemployed Americans for scarce jobs. (Bureau of Labor Statistics, Jan. 6, 2012)
