So much for the no path to citizenship claim being made for dreamers.


Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program used a loophole to obtain green cards, and more than 1,000 already have become American citizens, according to new data released Friday.

DACA is not supposed to provide a path to citizenship, but tens of thousands discovered they can get around that by exploiting an Obama-era loophole known as "advance parole," a mechanism by which people who are not legal residents can leave the United States and then return legally. According to experts, it typically had been granted to people with pending green card applications who had compelling reasons for wanting to return home, such as to care for a critically ill relative.
Under the Obama administration, however, DACA recipients began receiving permission to leave America under advance parole and then come back.


The judiciary panels in the Senate and House of Representatives, which requested the data, put out a joint news release highlighting the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services statistics. As of August 21, 45,447 DACA recipients obtained permanent residency, and 1,056 already had become citizens.

The 45,447 who have gotten green cards represent a significant increase over the 22,340 people who got it by the end of the year in 2015, according to statistics released by the government in the past year.

The newly released statistics suggest most DACA recipients who have applied for advance parole have received it. Only 3,993 applications have been denied, for an approval rate of 92 percent. Overall, 60 percent of DACA residents who have applied for green cards have received them.

Not really a "loophole" hoss. It's the way the law was constructed.

Just like using "tax loopholes" to save a few coins every April isn't suspect in any fashion. It's just the way those laws are constructed too.

Dude, the Dreamer Act was never approved or made law. DACA is an unconstitutional Executive Order. Get up to speed or get out.
