Speaker Pelosi removes extreme immigration provisions from House spending bill to protect vulnerable Dems; Trump Admin clarifies its approach to DACA
FRI, JUL. 31th

A major development this week, and one that received little attention in the media, was the decision by House Speaker Pelosi to pull Department of Homeland Security funding provisions from an appropriations bill.

These provisions would have:

*Limited ICE detention beds to 10,000 which would lead to ICE having to release many i*****l a***ns into the interior for lack of bed space.

*Prohibited detention of families, guaranteeing their release and guaranteeing another massive border surge.
Called for expansion in H-2B visas (temp low-sk**led non-ag) and would make H-2A (temp ag) year-round, exposing more blue-collar jobs to foreign worker competition.

*Made drastic cuts in spending on immigration enforcement.

Speaker Pelosi reportedly decided to remove the immigration-related provisions because Democratic members in vulnerable districts think these extreme positions are political losers.

Without NumbersUSA publicizing this attempt to gut immigration enforcement and put even more Americans out of work, and our members and activists pushing back, these measures would have been included.

Thanks to all who made their voices heard.

Last month, we wrote about our disappointment with the 5-4 Supreme Court decision that Pres. Trump could not immediately end DACA.

We emphasized "immediately" because, despite what supporters of amnesty declared at the time, and are still claiming, the Court didn't rule that Pres. Trump couldn't end DACA, just that he hadn't jumped through the proper procedural hoops to do so.

This despite the fact that Pres. Obama didn't follow the process in implementing DACA that the Court demanded Pres. Trump follow to rescind it.

This week the Trump Administration responded to the ruling with its plans regarding DACA.

In brief:

*DHS will not accept any new applications.

*Individuals with DACA status will not be granted advanced parole "absent exceptional circumstances." (Advanced parole can be used as a loophole for DACA recipients to receive a green card.)

*The period of DACA status is shortened from two years to one year.

DHS also withdrew its memorandum rescinding DACA.
This is because the Court did not find it adequate.
The Trump Administration has vowed to take further steps to end DACA.

Hopefully they will follow through on this promise. Obviously the 2020 e******n will heavily determine the final outcome.

Lastly, our Government Relations team is reporting that there may be a renewed push to pass the Healthcare Workforce Resiliency Act.

This bill would bring in thousands of additional foreign doctors and nurses under the guise that there is a need for them because of the c****av***s.

However, many medical professionals have been laid off because normal hospital operations have been disrupted because of C****-**, and there are over six thousand unmatched doctors already in the United States.

Be on the lookout for alerts!

Yes I’m quite aware and COC is rarely ever mentioned in the MSM...

Trump should have dismantled it already but he failed again.
Instead he supported it’s reboot.
