It appears that another Biden Regime Administrative Amnesty is in the works, this time for the group of illegal aliens called Documented Dreamers, those illegal aliens who ostensibly entered the United States as dependents of employment based E, L, and H Non-Immigrant Visa (NIV) holders, but want remain in the United States, but are ineligible to do so.
Usually they are not eligible because of the limited number of Immigrant Visas (IV) available to petitioners who have dependent children who age out of eligibility as the dependent reaches the age of 21. Note how ridiculous that is: 18 years is the age of majority in the United States, considering a 21-year-old a dependent is absurd. Also absurd is that the above primary NIVs above allow aliens to remain here essentially indefinitely while pursuing adjustment of status. Indian nationals are particularly hit because there are over 1 million Indians in the visa backlog for an IV based on employment.
Correspondingly, the horrendous number of Indians in the Treason Bar are up in arms about Indians having to comply with the law and the usual suspects at Reason are carrying water for aliens, rather than Americans.
First, the problem: Indians and others who want to immigrate to the United States, but tried to game the system with an H-1b or other NIV, then don’t get selected for a green card want a solution, come hell or high water, and not a solution in compliance with the Constitution. Cue shameless baby-waving, but this time the babies are in their 20s with college degrees that would go a long way in India.
REASON’s Billy Binion, Grave Digger of the Constitution by Executive Action
Roshan Taroll says his mother, Beena Preth, brought him to the United States as a child in hopes he would put his nose to the grindstone and shoot his shot at accessing the bounty of opportunity uniquely offered by America. He will not have the chance …
Though the architecture of the law doomed Taroll’s chances at getting permanent residence from his mother, some Documented Dreamers never have any such hope to begin with, as certain visas do not have pathways to permanent residence or citizenship. In 2005, Laurens van Beek’s parents moved him from the Netherlands to Iowa on an E2 small business visa, which allows for extensions so long as they meet certain requirements.
It does not, however, allow them to get in line for a green card. Van Beek attended the University of Iowa on an international student visa and, like Taroll, received a temporary extension based on his studies in STEM. But in 2022, after three failed H-1B visa lottery attempts, he had no choice but to leave the country.
He Immigrated to the U.S. as a Child. He Was Just Kicked Out — Despite Coming Here Legally, by Billy Binion, Reason, July 8, 2024
Note the commonality among these illegal aliens. They move from E-2 or H-4 NIVs to F-1 student NIV. Which is illegal, as an F-1 NIV requires an unrelinquished residence abroad and holders of said NIVs cannot have the intent of immigrating to America, which both of these illegal aliens have. So, they are, or were, illegal aliens.
Legislation has been proposed, but rejected by Congress, which should mean the end of the issue. Congress has plenary authority over immigration, but the Treason Bar and the open borders libertarians want a solution, however undemocratic, if not dictatorial.
Some lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have tried to answer that question. In 2021, Rep. Deborah Ross (D–N.C.) introduced a bill in the House to effectively close the Documented Dreamer loophole and pave a pathway for citizenship. It also would have addressed another one of the more harebrained inconsistencies with DACA, whose recipients can apply for work permits. Documented Dreamers cannot …
That same legislation was introduced in the Senate by Sens. Alex Padilla (D–Calif.) and Rand Paul (R–Ky.). “My bill America’s Children Act fixes the documented dreamer problem by prioritizing the children of legal immigrants for permanent status,” Paul tells Reason. “So, a child whose parents came legally will not have to face deportation when they turn twenty-one.”
A version of that bill passed the House as an amendment in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). And then it was laid to rest in the Senate’s legislative graveyard after Sen. Charles Grassley (R–Iowa) rebuffed the proposal.
Special shame here for Rand Paul. But the Indian Treason Bar wants to not only import one million Indians in one fell swoop, but also wants to import an oriental tyranny much like the Mughals or Delhi Sultanate. They have an “administrative solution” for refusal of Congress to act. A typical behavior pattern for the Treason Bar: if Congress refuses an amnesty of any sort, just ignore the law and create a solution by executive action, which is an attack on democracy itself. And who but Cyrus Mehta, Indian Super Treason Bar lawyer, the enemy of the Constitution, is behind it.
And the Biden Regime appears to be working hand in glove with the Treason Bar, and to have something in the works in the office of Jewish-Cuban immigrant and head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Alejandro Mayorkas.
