California Representative Claims Harris Would Expand DACA

You know DACA, the Executive Branch rule from the Obama administration which Obama himself said was un-Constitutional, and various courts have claimed was unlawful

Rep. Barragan of California says that, as president, Harris will expand DACA protections

U.S. Rep. Nanette Barragan of California spoke with USA TODAY at the Democratic convention last week, saying that a potential Kamala Harris administration would push for expanded protections for “dreamers”—people covered by the Obama-era immigration policy Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

“I know that a President Kamala Harris is very supportive and is going to be ready on day one to sign a bill from Congress to provide those protections that we need to provide for dreamers,” Barragan said.

DACA offers deferred deportation (but not a green card or citizenship) to some people with a clean criminal history and a high school degree or military service record who came to the United States with their family as children.

The law was passed in 2012 as a temporary measure, and holders of legal status based on DACA remain in a tenuous position as courts have repeatedly thrown the law’s status into doubt.

Are the two USA Today writers ignorant or straight up lying? DACA was never passed into law. Democrats tried to pass The DREAM Act a few times during the early Obama years, but, it never crossed Obama’s desk for a signature. I’ve left the link in the 1st paragraph to stand, because it explains that it is an administrative amnesty instituted by the Obama admin, not a law. Did the two USA Today writers, Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy and George Fabe Russell, read the story they linked, which is also at the USA Today? And then the Credentialed Media wonders why no one trusts them.

Earlier this year, President Joe Biden’s administration expanded the law to add a path for DACA recipients to apply for employer-sponsored work visas and green cards. It also allowed them to enroll in the Affordable Care Act exchange health insurance plans, often called “Obamacare.”

Barragan said that the president alone cannot expand laws like DACA: “That’s something that Congress is going to have to do.”

It’s not a law, meaning that the USA Today writers, and any editor that approved this, are just ignorant or lying. But, Barragan is correct: expanding DACA is illegal, because it is not a law to start with. But, it is no surprise that Harris would want to expand the un-Constitutional administrative amnesty, considering how many illegals flowed into the USA during the Biden-Harris time, with her as the “Border Czar”. With all the migrants flown in from Central and South America.

Is this actually a policy of Cackles Harris? No one actually knows, because she won’t say.

“We just saw the administration provide greater access to healthcare to dreamers,” Barragan continued. “And so we’ll continue to do that until we, of course, hear from the courts.”

I distinctly remember when Obama, his people, and elected Democrats said that Republicans were just fearmongering, that illegals would not be eligible for taxpayer funded Obamacare.

    Best advice- ignore anything in USA Today.

    The Republic of Texas (ROT), had taken to raiding the homes of Democratic voters, searching for evidence of voter fraud. The state officials are confiscating all electronic devices – telephones, computers, storage devices.

    ROT AG Ken Paxton, justifying the raids on the homes of US citizens: “There’s a reason Joe Biden brought people here illegally. I’m convinced that that’s how they’re going to do it this time, they’re going to use the illegal vote. Why were they brought in, why did he bring in 14 million people? He brought them here to vote.”

    Lidia Martinez, 87, San Antonio: The warrant ordered the seizure of all electronic devices at her home, allowed for the opening of documents that were business-, organization- or election-related, and authorized swabbing for DNA.

    Martinez answered a knock at her door at 6 a.m. and in walked a group of armed men and women with police badges and riot shields and a search warrant, she told NBC News.

    Still in her nightgown, Martinez asked to change clothes. Instead, she said she was forced to sit in her dining room answering questions while the agents rummaged for four hours through just about everything in her two-bedroom home. Two of the officers stood guard over her.

    “They searched everything. My underwear, my brassieres, my nightgowns, everything,” said Martinez, a 35-year League of United Latin American Citizens member. “They went into my garage. They opened up my car. They went through my whole car, my whole garage, my refrigerator, my kitchen cabinets, everything.”

    This is Trump’s Amerika.

      Given the FBI’s treatment of Melania’s underwear drawer, I don’t give a bright blue fuck what the Texas AG does in an effort to clean up the voter rolls. Try again, asshole.

      • Professor Hale says:

        Funny he says, “this is Trump’s America” almost as if he didn’t know that Biden is technically president and that search warrants, sworn before a judge, are executed every day in every state no matter who is president. Does he prefer that criminals are just allowed to commit crimes and go unpunished? Of course, that is rhetorical. The Democratic party does indeed prefer certain categories of criminals go unpunished. And since the Democratic party prefers it, Jeff also prefers it. Almost as if he has no choice in the matter. The Harris campaign released today that Harris now favors building a wall on the southern border to deal with immigration. So, of course, Jeff will support that now too.

    You loved it when Democrats raided Mar-a-Lago that was wonderful. Yet for some reason reason you hate the state of Texas raiding this broad’s house.

    I guess we’re supposed to take your word that it’s Donald Trump that raided her house and then it’s all the state officials after her because she’s a Democrat right? Like around any other Democrats in Texas right?

    Now you see why we don’t believe anything you say because there’s no way the way you describe this is the way it went down. What’s the reason behind the raid? Was she arrested? Because when they raided Trump’s house he was not arrested which means they found nothing illegal. Cause when they find something illegal they take the guy out and handcuffs.

    I also noticed that you were upset when the cops played with an 87 year old Mexicans underwear but you were perfectly content when they were fiddling around with Mrs. Trump’s underwear. You commie leftists are such hypocrites it’s ridiculous. Tell you what show me the records of the people that visited Epstein island and give me a list of all the people that were there and then we’ll talk about fair and legal raids and searches you people lie and cheat all the time it’s like living in a Nazi world.

    Some little children were brought to the United States of America by their non-citizen parents. These children grew up here.

    For the ones who joined the United States of America military, even fighting in wars, defending your rights and freedoms – now you want to deport them too?

  5. Elwood P. Dowd says:

    Why did the Great and Mighty Donald leave these “illegals” in the US? He could have deported them with a stroke of a pen.

    Get back to us when Trump acknowledges the simple truth that He lost in 2020.

    Mr Teach typed: I distinctly remember when Obama, his people, and elected Democrats said that Republicans were just fearmongering, that illegals would not be eligible for taxpayer funded Obamacare.

    Since immigrants work and pay taxes, but have no access to benefits, what’s the benefit of withholding medical care?

    “Attorney General reminds Americans that questioning the 2024 election is illegal unless Trump wins…”
