Under
President Trump's executive order on immigration enforcement, many Dreamers currently protected by or eligible
for DACA would be eligible for deportation because of the crimes that they have
committed or are committing. In addition, President Trump's Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement office (VOICE)
will help the victims of illegal alien crimes by facilitating "engagement
with the victims and their families to ensure, to the extent permitted by law,
that they are provided information about the offender, including the offender's
immigration status and custody status, and that their questions and concerns
regarding immigration enforcement efforts are addressed."
Many
Deamers Have Committed Felonies and Other Crimes
DACA applies to individuals up to age 31 (as of June 2012,
so 35 now) — hardly children; consequently, many
Dreamers have long-since terminated their studies and most have committed multiple felonies in order to get jobs — Social Security fraud, forgery, perjury on I-9 forms, falsification of
green cards and drivers' licenses, identity theft, etc. Dreamers continue to
commit these job-related crimes right up to the day their DACA status is
approved and they obtain work permits and their own genuine Social Security
numbers.
In
addition, many illegal aliens qualifying for DACA status have previously been
arrested and convicted of multiple misdemeanors and some have previously been
or continue to be associated with violent gangs, as evidenced by a report in
the Seattle Times that states that
over 1,500 Dreamers have had their DACA status revoked since 2012 due to their
involvement with criminal gangs.
DACA
Grants Dreamers Amnesty for Felonies and Other Serious Crimes
In
spite of this widespread criminal behavior by Dreamers, the current DACA guidelines only exclude individuals who have been convicted of
a felony, a significant misdemeanor, or three or more other misdemeanors as
long as they do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public
safety.
Thus,
the DACA guidelines give illegal aliens committing multiple felonies and
significant misdemeanors a total pass as long as they have not been convicted
of their criminal activity. This means that Dreamer gang-bangers, Dreamer
identity thieves, Dreamer sexual predators, Dreamers who haven't paid income
taxes, and Dreamers committing a wide range of other crimes all qualify for
DACA status as long as they haven't been convicted of their
crimes.
These
guidelines conflict with President Trump's Executive Order 13768 on immigration
enforcement, which makes other illegal aliens committing the same crimes eligible for deportation even if they have not been convicted of their
crimes.
It is
also important to note that the United States government currently instructs
illegal aliens and their employers to hide their criminal activity and/or
promises not to hold them accountable for their violations of U.S. and state
laws.
The
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) guidance provided in their
"Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)" tells illegal alien Dreamers
to exclude their fraudulently obtained/used Social Security numbers in item 9 of Form I-765 even though this item specifically asks for a list of Social Security Numbers
previously used (my explanations are in brackets):
Q73:
How should I fill out question 9 on Form I-765, Application for Employment
Authorization?
A73. When you are filing a Form I-765 as part of a DACA request, question 9 is asking you to list those Social Security numbers that were officially issued to you by the Social Security Administration [not numbers you illegally obtained and used].

USCIS further promises employers that
any information about illegal employment practices that they disclose in
support of a Dreamer's DACA application will not be used against them:
Q. If
I provide my employee with information regarding his or her employment to
support a request for consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals,
will that information be used for immigration enforcement purposes against me
and/or my company?
A. You may, as you determine appropriate, provide individuals requesting deferred action for childhood arrivals with documentation which verifies their employment. This information will not be shared with ICE for civil immigration enforcement purposes pursuant to INA section 274A unless there is evidence of egregious violations of criminal statutes or widespread abuses.

USCIS
also instructs employers to ignore Dreamers' job-related felonies committed when
the Dreamers entered fraudulently obtained Social Security numbers on their
original I-9 forms under penalty of perjury. In addition, employers are not
required to end the employment of Dreamers committing felony Social Security
fraud, perjury, and identity theft. Rather, they are instructed to replace the
Dreamers' original I-9 forms with new ones containing the Dreamers' newly
issued Social Security numbers. This rewards illegal aliens for their felonies
and leaves the Americans who are victims of their identity theft and other
criminal actions holding the bag.
GUIDANCE
FOR EMPLOYERS OF EXISTING EMPLOYEES.
Employers must have a properly completed Form I-9 on file for every employee hired after November 6, 1986. Deferred action recipients who are currently working [illegally] may provide updated documentation to their employers. An employer receiving updated documentation from an employee should review the employee's previously [fraudulently] completed Form I-9 [under penalty of perjury] and….complete a new I-9 form when any of the following information has changed in Section 1 of the previously completed Form I-9: The employee's name, Date of birth, [perjured] Attestation, [illegally obtained] Social Security number, if a [illegally obtained] social security number was provided on the previously completed Form I-9.

Thus,
these USCIS instructions, both independently and taken together, put an agency
of the United States government in the position of advising Dreamers to hide
their criminal acts and telling employers that if they have (1) employed
illegal aliens and (2) if they fail to report Dreamers' criminal activities
that neither they nor the Dreamers will be held accountable.
Therefore,
the Obama administration's DACA program puts the U.S. government in the
position of rewarding Dreamers and their employers for their illegal actions
while at the same time turning its back on the American citizen and legal
resident victims of the illegal alien Dreamers' crimes.
DACA
Must be Ended or Significantly Restructured
As
currently structured, DACA is seriously flawed and needs to be either ended or
significantly restructured to ensure that Dreamers are not granted amnesty from
serious crimes and that their American citizen and legal resident victims are
not left holding the bag. In addition, the United States government must stop
advising illegal aliens to hide their criminal activities and granting amnesty
to employers who have unlawfully hired the illegal alien Dreamers.
