Justice Department to Supreme Court: We Can’t Give Work Permits to DACA Migrants
The DOJ (Department of Justice) has informed SCOTUS that they lack the authority to give illegal immigrants enrolled in DACA program work permits. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Tuesday on whether the DACA program is constitutional or not. The decision will probably not be revealed until June of 2020. It’s sister program, DAPA ( Deferred Action for Parental Accountability) has already ended. That case went to the Supreme Court just after Antonin Scalia died and the vote was 4-4, so that allows the decision of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to stand. The 5th Circuit ruled that DAPA was unconstitutional.The court ruled that although Barack Obama had the power to defer deportation, he did not have the power to bestow benefits not approved by Congress. That would mean that DACA is also unconstitutional and for the same reason. The ruling affects the hundreds of thousands now currently enrolled in DACA, 80% of whom are from Mexico. Mexico has already issued a “friend of the court” brief, encouraging the court to find in favor of the program. There are actually several work permit programs in effect that allows illegal and legal foreigners to receive work permits. This action would affect two of those programs and have the potential to add over 1 million jobs for Americans.

Gee Chuckie and Nan-Nan,,,, you should have accepted Trump's deal that he offered to those poor DACA souls.Your insane quest for power has theft them high and dry.Oh well, Chuckie and Nan-Nan don't really care about DACA unless they need some cheap labor for their masters in Silicon Valley.
I think it's unfortunate that these people have been used as pawns all of these years. There's no way they are going to deport them, and they just serve as a political football. Politics at its' worst.
