| DACA kids approved despite murder, rape and sex crimes arrests |
| 2018-06-19 |
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Ten people who’d been tossed in the clinkDrop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! on murder charges were nonetheless granted permission to remain and work in the U.S. under the Obama-era DACA amnesty, according to new government data released Monday. Thirty-one "Dreamers" had rape charges on their records, nearly 500 had been accused of sex crimes, and more than 2,000 had been arrested for drunken driving ‐ yet were approved for DACA status. All told, 53,000 people who have been approved for DACA ‐ 7 percent of the total ‐ had a criminal record when the government granted them status. Nearly 8,000 racked up criminal charges after they’d been approved, according to the data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. DACA turned six years old on Friday and is back in the news as the House of Representatives begins to debate whether to grant a broad amnesty to Dreamers, and as courts across the country grapple with the legality of the 2012 program. The new data will likely affect both the legislative and court action, since it gives some indications of the levels of screening, and waivers, the government is willing to offer for Dreamers who apply. |
