On June 17, Joe Biden celebrated 12 years of DACA by announcing his own executive order, this one establishing the so-called Parole in Place policy. Discussed here yesterday, Parole in Place, which rewards long-time illegal law-breakers with defacto amnesty, is just another pandering opp for Joe. But, speaking of DACA, what is its record?
The brainchild of Biden mentor and likely puppeteer Barack Obama, DACA was an executive end-around move to circumvent Congress and grant protection from deportation to 800,000 illegals currently in the United States who came as minors, though many are already middle-aged. Looking back on its history, John Binder of Breitbart News finds:
Standards for DACA, championed by President Joe Biden, were set so low that tens of thousands of illegal aliens with prior arrest records for crimes including murder, rape, kidnapping, and sex abuse were able to secure deferred deportation status and work permits to stay in the United States.
Binder cites federal statistics showing the effect of those standards:
As of October 2019, the federal government had granted DACA to nearly 68,000 illegal aliens with prior arrest records, while fewer than 30,000 illegal aliens with prior arrests were denied DACA or had their DACA status terminated as a result.
More than 25,000 illegal aliens were granted DACA despite having been arrested for drunk driving, along with roughly 3,300 previously arrested for assault, nearly 1,500 previously arrested for burglary, almost 600 previously arrested for hit-and-run, 259 previously arrested for sex abuse or child rape, more than 170 previously arrested for kidnapping, 62 previously arrested for rape, more than 30 previously arrested for animal cruelty, 15 previously arrested for murder, five previously arrested for manslaughter, and two previously arrested for having child pornography.
During Monday’s celebration, Biden and company once again urged Congress to follow their lead and grant wholesale amnesty to the “Dreamers,” those with police records and those without.
