Obama Takes Actions to Increase Immigration

Written by Steve Byas

The Obama administration is charging ahead with actions to promote more immigration into the United States, including veto threats, executive actions, and changes to the citizenship oath.

He has also announced his intentions to use his “executive authority” to make it easier for illegal aliens to remain inside the United States, despite federal laws. After all, he has a pen and a phone. The Department of Homeland Security has announced a proposed new rule that makes Obama’s 2013 executive action on immigration even more favorable to illegal aliens. The 2013 action by Obama created a waiver allowing an illegal alien with a U.S. citizen spouse or parent to remain inside the country. This differs with federal law, which requires they leave the United States and be prevented from returning for three to 10 years. All they would have to do is present “proof” their absence would create an “extreme hardship” for the spouse or parent.

 

What the new DHS rule would do is expand this eligibility to many other illegal aliens, including those who are not helped by the spouse/parent waiver

Present law stipulates that a person who spends time illegally in the United States for over one year cannot be legally admitted into the country for 10 years, but the Obama administration is proposing to waive that.
