Non-citizens and illegal aliens shielded from deportation by Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program are helping to organize behind 2020 Democrat presidential candidates in the Iowa caucus.
A report by HuffPost
highlighted non-citizens’ involvement in the 2020 Democrat caucus in Iowa, with DACA illegal aliens and foreign nationals living in the United States working on behalf of candidates like Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
None of the foreign nationals, except for a newly naturalized citizen mentioned in the piece, are eligible to actually caucus in the Iowa caucus.
HuffPost reports:
Luis Gomez, 31, is the Sanders die-hard who organized the event . He was never involved in politics until he learned about the Vermont senator, and now he has campaign merch displayed at his auto body repair shop. [Emphasis added]
…
Gomez is a resident, not a citizen, so he won’t be able to caucus . But he’s still been doing everything he can for Sanders, short of that. [Emphasis added]
…
Reyes came to the United States when she was 3 years old and was a recipient of former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. She and her sister founded the group Dream Iowa . [Emphasis added]
Two regions of Iowa where large foreign populations have recently resettled over the last two decades — Denton and Storm Lake, Iowa — have
increasingly become less and less red. As the HuffPost reported, big businesses with meatpacking plants and farms have brought thousands of newly arrived nationals to the region.
As Breitbart News has reported, Sanders has a handful of DACA illegal aliens working on his presidential campaign, and they
helped write the democratic socialist’s immigration platform — which includes taxpayer-funded free health care for illegal aliens, decriminalization of the southern border, and amnesty for the majority of the 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S.

More Than 100,000 DACA Applicants Have
Been Arrested—Murder, Rape, DUI
Left tries to debunk
reality of criminals in DACA but hard facts tell a scary story
The left is going into full
open-borders mode now, arguing that any illegal with a DACA pass to
prevent deportation is a sweet little daisy. The craziness started in response
to this tweet by President Trump who noted
that DACA was loaded with hardened criminals.
"We rate Trump's claim
False," sniffed Politifact ,
always ignoring the actual facts in favor of its own politicized ones.
Now it comes to light that the
leftist spin-blather was much worse than anyone imagined.
WASHINGTON—Today, U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) updated data (PDF, 756 KB) on arrests
and apprehensions of illegal aliens who
requested Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
The release
of this report reflects the agency’s ongoing focus on
transparency. The report provides updated information
on known arrests and apprehensions of DACA requestors. The data may
include arrests that did not result in convictions or where the
charges were dropped or otherwise dismissed.
Among
the findings of the release are the following:
Nearly 110,000 DACA
requestors out of nearly 889,000 (12%) had arrest records.
Offenses in these arrest records include assault, battery, rape,
murder and driving under the influence. Of approved DACA requestors with an
arrest, 85% (67,861) of them were arrested or
apprehended before their most recent DACA approval. Of approved DACA requestors with an
arrest, more than 31% (24,898) of
them had more than one arrest. Of all DACA requestors, 218 had more
than 10 arrests. Of those, 54 had a DACA case status
of “approved” as of October 2019.
“As
DACA continues to be the subject of both public discourse and ongoing
litigation, USCIS remains committed to ensuring transparency and that the
American people are informed
about those receiving DACA,” said USCIS Acting Director
Ken Cuccinelli. “This agency is obligated to continue
accepting DACA requests from illegal aliens as
a direct result of
the previous administration’s decision to circumvent the
laws as passed by Congress. We hope this data provides a better sense
of the reality of those granted the privilege of a
temporary deferral of removal action and work
authorization under DACA.”
Under
current DACA guidelines, illegal aliens may be considered for
DACA if they have not been convicted of a felony, significant
misdemeanor, or three or more “non-significant” misdemeanors not arising out of
the same act, omission or scheme of misconduct, and they do not
otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety. The number
of arrests illegal aliens have do not necessarily
disqualify them from receiving DACA as a matter of discretion.
Some 218 of these creeps had ten or
more arrests? And if they were operating in a city like San Francisco, where
"quality of life" crimes such as peeing in doorways or spraying
graffiti on someone's siding are not prosecuted, you can bet that those arrests
would have brought convictions otherwise that were so desperately
deserved. We also know that if they had committed these crimes and got put
before a leftist judge, and told the leftist that any conviction would have
affected their DACA status, they also got off scot-free. Leftist judges have
been excusing these criminals from day one. Politifact makes a big deal about
arrests that never led to convictions but we all know how these blue cities
work.
And the stats are really bad
actually.
Twelve percent of these people had
arrest records? Of stuff like assault, rape, murder, and drunk driving? How
much of the general population has arrest records like that? Statistics differ,
but a Google search shows it's generally nowhere near that high and it
certainly wouldn't include crimes like the ones the DACA kids bear. For the
U.S. population, it's closer to the 10% range at most and that 10% would
include the nation's abundant illegal immigrants who aren't DACA recipients,
whom we know, already are overrepesented in U.S. jails and prisons.
And some 10,000 of them had arrest
records that came after their DACA approvals? One can infer that from the
before-DACA and after-DACA arrest records. Obviously, some of these creeps have
taken the DACA approval itself as a license to go on a crime spree.
It's bad out there, and it lays out
well why DACA, an Obama-era executive order that was signed by President
Obama after assorted amnesties failed in Congress, and solely for the purpose
of winning the Latino vote in 2012, really needs to be thrown out. It's a
shelter for criminals who would never been allowed into the U.S. were they to
apply to get in legally. There may be a case for allowing some children of
illegals into the country, but DACA is exceptionally ineffective at sorting out
the good kids from the disgusting criminals and for that the whole thing needs
to be thrown out.
It just shows why the Supreme Court
should rule to end that program now.
A DACA amnesty
would put more citizen children of illegal aliens — known as “anchor babies” —
on federal welfare, as Breitbart News reported , while American taxpayers would be left potentially with a $26 billion bill.
Now is the Time for a Full and Transparent Debate About DACA
Last weekend, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
(USCIS), released updated statistics which showed nearly 80,000 – or 10 percent – of Deferred
Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) participants had been arrested on charges
ranging from DUI and immigration violations to rape and battery.
The data
further showed that of nearly 110,000 DACA requestors (out of 889,000) who had
an arrest, 85 percent had been arrested before their most recent DACA approval,
and more than 31 percent of that same cohort had more than one arrest.
As the USCIS acknowledged in its statement, the report includes arrests, including
some which “did not result in convictions or where the charges were
dropped or otherwise dismissed.” Defenders of DACA tried to dismiss the
findings because the report included arrests, not convictions.
The report, asserted the Cato Institute’s Alex Nowrasteh, “also does not
provide the comparable arrest rates for other populations, giving the false
impression that that is a high number of arrests for such a small population.”
He then tried to use the data to make a “back of the envelope” case that the
arrest rate for “U.S. residents” is actually higher.
Contrary to critics’ claims of ulterior motives, Acting
USCIS Secretary Ken Cuccinelli said the release was an effort to demonstrate “transparency”
about the program and its participants because it remains a “subject of both
public discourse and ongoing litigation.”
Transparency is an imperative as the nation moves forward
to tackle the fallout from President Obama’s constitutionally-questionable
decision to create a program that many observers now believe the Supreme Court will allow to be dismantled. With a court ruling not expected until
next spring, Democrats in Congress already are calling for the Senate to move on legislation
to grant amnesty to the 700,000 DACA beneficiaries and other illegal immigrants
who came to the U.S. as children.
Transparency is required if lawmakers are seriously
considering giving 1.8 million illegal aliens amnesty – and possibly their
parents too. And that means being transparent about some of the myths that
surround DACA, including that they are all future brain surgeons, teachers of
the year, and scientists. Some most certainly are on the path to success. But
others have been removed from the program due to gang membership and, as the report shows, some for far more serious
crimes.
The USCIS report is also relevant because, as many choose
to ignore, DACA was never an actual program. It was, in the words of Obama Homeland Security Department Secretary Janet
Napolitano “an exercise of our prosecutorial discretion” for an entire class of
people who “lacked the intent” to violate the Nation’s immigration laws.
If
members of Congress want to decline to prosecute our immigration laws, they owe
the public equal transparency about the consequences of shielding an entire
class of people from enforcement. And why other classes of individuals, such as
low-level criminal offenses or DUI arrests (since advocates deem this a minor
crime) should not also be subject to similar “discretion.”
Seven years after Obama acted without due consideration for the rule of law, it is
time for an honest and open discussion about what giving a pass to millions of
illegal immigrants would mean.
Meet
the 'American Students Last' Lobby
Who is
funding the militant illegal immigrant youth army of thousands of entitled
"Dreamers" that marched to Washington, D.C., for the Supreme Court
hearing this week on President Barack Obama's unconstitutional amnesty program?
Follow
the money; find the truth. I've got the "Open Borders Inc." breakdown
for you of so-called DACA financiers and enablers on both sides of the
political spectrum. Call them what they are: the "American Students
Last" lobby.
Let's
start with Charles Koch. The libertarian billionaire has thrown his weight and
fortune behind an amnesty brigade called the LIBRE Initiative. While the establishment
right purports to oppose identity politics, LIBRE wraps itself in the mantle of
"empowering Hispanics" to "advance liberty" and
"prosperity." Koch has poured more than $10 million into the
ethnocentric group since 2011 under the slogan "Limited Government.
Unlimited Opportunity."
Translation:
driver's licenses for illegal immigrants, in-state tuition discounts for
illegal immigrant students and securing a Congressional deal to codify the
Obama administration's blanket deportation shields and work permits for 800,000
illegal immigrant students if the Supreme Court strikes the deal down.
Koch
operatives send out weekly press releases urging Congress to "Protect
Dreamers Now," "Achieve a permanent solution for Dreamers"
(hint: It's not deportation), and "act promptly on relief for
Dreamers." Along with the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity, LIBRE
sponsored a "pop-up art exhibit" propagandizing the benefits of
illegal immigrant Dreamers to coincide with their march on Washington on
Tuesday.
Next up:
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Big Business lobbyists for cheap labor have
prioritized illegal immigrant amnesty legislation since 2014, when the Chamber
dumped $50 million to protect border-jumpers from deportation and win them
employment authorization documents. "Stripping DACA recipients of their
ability to legally live and work in the country will harm them," the D.C.
fat cats lamented this week.
Then
there's Facebook. All week long, young users of the Silicon Valley giant's
Instagram app have been fed heart-tugging ads highlighting Dreamer families and
their activist sisters and brothers, including the George Soros-funded street
demonstrators of United We Dream, Make the Road New York and CASA de Maryland.
Facebook's lobbying arm, FWD.us, disseminated a letter from 10 of its illegal
immigrant Dreamer employees "in solidarity with" all immigrants
living and working here in violation of our laws. FWD.us has shelled out
$430,000 on immigration lobbying this year alone.
Open
borders Catholic Church elites have had a busy "illegal immigrants
first" month so far. The Vatican and bishops' conference spend hundreds of
millions of donations on illegal immigrant shelters, legal teams for dubious
asylum claimants, and community organizing activities promoting sanctuary
policies and profiting off the backs of border-trespassers, who in turn enrich
smuggling rings and drug cartels. The NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice
marched from New York City to D.C. with DACA recipients, according to the
group's press secretary Lee Morrow (who makes sure to let Catholic colleagues
and journalists know that his pronouns are "he/him"). Leaders of the
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops convened masses at the border to condemn
patriots who use the accurate term "invasion" to describe the violent
siege in the Southwest. Archbishop Jose Gomez of Los Angeles pledged that
"we will never abandon you" and enlisted American churchgoers to pray
for illegal immigrant families.
Such
virtue-signaling gestures have never been extended to American families
permanently separated from their children and grandchildren because of
criminal-coddling sanctuary policies and porous fences, of course.
Microsoft
and Princeton University jointly filed the Supreme Court briefs on behalf of Dreamers
suing for the right to stay here illegally. Princeton also lobbied on Capitol
Hill to extend the endless "temporary protected status" and work
permits of 300,000 low-wage workers from Central America. Microsoft has punched
American students twice in the gut, leading the charge not only for a massive
pipeline of illegal immigrant youths but also for millions of H-1B and F-1
foreign student visa holders.
Even The
New York Times now acknowledges the obvious reason Democrats are throwing
American youth under the bus: mass uncontrolled immigration both legal and
illegal is turning America radically blue. But what about Beltway Republicans
and establishment Swamp conservative think tanks and college groups? Where is
the defense of American students fighting to make a decent living while
competing with unrelenting floods of foreign workers at both ends of the wage
scale?
Turning
Point USA's Charlie Kirk blithely advocates stapling green cards to foreign
student diplomas and his speakers have shouted down America First students as
racists and losers for challenging the donor class on demographic realities.
(Who needs SPLC smear merchants with "friends" like these?)
Shamefully, no right-leaning groups bothered to muster up their own army of
American students to counter the Koch-Soros-Silicon Valley-Vatican-backed
hordes on the Mexifornicated steps of the U.S. Supreme Court. The job of
combating the American Students Last lobby has been left to anti-establishment
outsiders -- Proud Boys, Groypers, displaced U.S. tech workers and other
dissidents unmasking Open Borders Inc.'s controlled opposition. On Tuesday, I
was called a "Nazi" by a young GOP operative for supporting American
students first.
Keep
shooting the messengers, civilizational suicide squad clowns. If the goal is to
make America disappear, you're winning.
