An
estimated 87 percent of illegal immigrants in the United States will not face a
threat of deportation from the U.S. and have “a degree of protection” due to
President Obama’s executive actions on immigration enforcement, the Migration
Policy Institute concludes in a new report.
The MPI report,
issued Thursday, highlights the impact of the new policy guidance on
immigration enforcement on the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the
U.S. — namely the Obama administration’s move to replace the Secure Communities
program with the Priority Enforcement Program (PEP).
“MPI estimates that about 13 percent of
unauthorized immigrants in the United States would be considered enforcement
priorities under these policies, compared to 27 percent under the 2010-11
enforcement guidelines,” the report reads. “The net effect of this new
guidance will likely be a reduction in deportations from within the interior of
the United States as DHS detention and deportation resources are increasingly
allocated to more explicitly defined priorities.”
MPI further estimates that the priority
shift will reduce interior deportations from the U.S. by 25,000 annually.
It speculates that there are 1.4
million illegal immigrants with criminal convictions that would make them
priorities for enforcement — lower than the 3 million MPI estimated under the
2010-201 guidelines.
“While much of the attention to the
president’s executive action announcement has focused on the deferred action
programs, which MPI has estimated could grant relief from deportation to as
many as 5.2 million unauthorized immigrants, implementation of the new
enforcement priorities is likely to affect about 9.6 million people,” Marc
Rosenblum, report author and the deputy director of MPI’s U.S. immigration
policy program, said.
The report comes as sanctuary cities are in
the national spotlight following the murder of Kathryn Steinle, allegedly by a
multiple deportee, multiple felon illegal immigrant who was released from
custody due to San Francisco’s sanctuary policy of not honoring immigration detainers.
Administration officials have argued that
PEP will help to encourage more sanctuary jurisdictions to comply with
detainers. Republicans have had harsh criticisms of PEP saying it will result
in more criminal immigrants in the U.S.
“By defining its ‘priorities’ to exclude
large categories of illegal immigrants, including those who have already been
ordered deported or those who illegally reenter after having been deported, PEP
ensures that countless more dangerous aliens will be released into U.S. communities—allowing
otherwise entirely preventable crimes, including some of the most violent and
egregious, to occur,”
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL)
