DHS approved 100,000 expanded amnesty applications before judge halted program
Washington Times ^ | 03/04/2015 | Stephen Dinan

The administration processed about 100,000 applications for amnesty for so-called Dreamers under some of the expanded rules President Obama announced last year, lawyers told a Texas judge late Tuesday, in a move that could complicate their claim that they have halted all action under the amnesty.

Mr. Obama’s Nov. 20 announcement offered a number of different benefits to illegal immigrants, including expanding eligibility for his 2012 amnesty for Dreamers and boosting the amount of time he was granting an amnesty form deportation and permits for legal work from two years to three years.

While the administration hadn’t begun collecting applications under the expanded eligibility, it had awarded tens of thousands of three-year permits to applicants who had qualified as Dreamers under the original rules from 2012.

Federal District Judge Andrew S. Hanen last month halted the new amnesty, ruling that it likely violated federal law, but it was unclear what that meant for the three-year adjustment.

Let’s all stand and give a big ole applause to the Turtle and the crying Cheeto for aiding and abeting the Criminal in charge.

Be sure to let the 70+ RINOS in the house that voted with the Rats to fully fund this ILLEGAL Crap.

I will not use the term “dreamers”. They are illegal aliens. The Left constantly uses the abuse of the English language to win their battles pre-emptively.

Besides, the approved term from the Ministry of Truth is now “Americans in Waiting™”

Holder and Obama want to take this country down a notch or two... they don’t like us being on our high horse either. Flooding the country with a bunch of third world types will hurt us for a while - but we’ll overcome it.

Odd that they stopped. This administration does not follow laws. Later, we shall find that this program continued without any delay.
