Newly released U.S. Immigration and Customs Service (USCIS) data reveals nearly 80,000 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) illegals had arrest records within the program’s first five years. Most of these so-called “Dreamers” were aged 19 to 22 at the time of arrest.
Joe Biden recently announced expanded deportation protections and job opportunities for DACA recipients on the 12th anniversary of the program instituted under the Obama-Biden administration. Critics argue that the program’s leniency towards illegals brought to the U.S. as minors, even if they have criminal histories, jeopardizes national security and public safety.
From June 2012 to October 2019, USCIS received 888,818 DACA applications and approved 765,166. An astonishing 10.38 percent of approved applications (79,398) had prior arrests. Some recipients had extensive arrest records, including 41 recipients with over ten arrests and 963 with five.
Thousands had convictions for assault, battery, drug crimes, and drunk driving. Illegal alien drivers frequently kill American citizens, including children, as The National Pulse recounts in its regular migrant crime round-ups.
Most DACA requesters with arrest records came from Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Brazil, and Peru.
Biden is not only expanding deportation protections for DACA recipients. He is also offering protection from deportation and a path to citizenship for as many as half a million illegal alien spouses of U.S. citizens—a policy that will encourage sham marriages, denounced as a shameless attempt to “buy” more minority votes.
Most Americans believe Biden is intentionally “encouraging” illegal immigration to “create a permanent majority” for the Democrats over time.
