Department of Homeland Security To Accept Mail-Delayed Illegal DACA Applications
The Department of Homeland Security has bent under progressive pressure and will allow a few hundred DACA illegals to refile their delayed-in-the-mail applications for their DACA amnesty extension.
The decision was announced Wednesday evening and was justified as a decent concession to a small number of applicants whose too-late applications were delayed by the mail service after prior statements had said the late applications would not be accepted.
Under President Donald Trump’s plan, roughly one-quarter of the 690,000 DACA applicants were allowed to file for a two-year extension of their DACA work-permits before October 5. The deadline was expected to soften protests by business and Democrats as the program heads towards elimination in 2019. Roughly 300,000 DACA illegals will lose their work permits before November 2018.
But progressives cheered the DHS reversal as a more–boosting victory in their campaign to rush a no-strings amnesty for millions of unskilled ‘dreamer’ illegals through Congress in December.
