DHS revokes legal status for nearly 1,000,000 people

The DHS revoked the legal immigrant status for 985,000 people who had filed for amnesty or a work permit via the CBP One app during the entire Biden administration. There were only two exceptions: Ukrainians and Afghans.

From the Hill:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is terminating parole protections for those who entered the country through the CBP One app, revoking status for hundreds of thousands of people who came to the U.S. under the Biden administration.

Roughly 985,000 people used the app to make appointments at a port of entry at the border, with those who entered often permitted to seek asylum and given temporary work authorization.

“The Biden Administration abused the parole authority to allow millions of illegal aliens into the U.S. which further fueled the worst border crisis in U.S. history. Under federal law, Secretary [Kristi] Noem — in support of the President — has full authority to revoke parole. Canceling these paroles is a promise kept to the American people to secure our borders and protect national security,” DHS said in a statement.


snip

Those who entered the country as part of the Uniting for Ukraine program and Afghans who entered under Operation Allies Welcome are not impacted.


The App was implemented during the first Tramp administration.

The AP:

The Biden administration extended its use to migrants to replace an opaque patchwork of exemptions to a pandemic-related asylum ban that was then in place.

CBP One is popular with Cubans, Venezuelans, Haitians and Mexicans, likely because advocates in their communities promote it.

Jesus

“Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."

This is the same mythological entity that conducted genocide after genocide.

This is the same mythological entity that destroyed the world by flood.

Within the mythological stories YAHWEH, "Jesus"/"Christ" and "The Holy Spirit are all the same entity within these heinous atrocities.

Joseph Campbell
"One problem with Yahweh, is they used to say in the old Christian Gnostic texts, is that he forgot he was a metaphor. He thought he was a fact."


I Adore mythology, it reveals and informs.
I Abhor Religion, it obscures and deceives.

Here's to reason's rule.

but deliberately shrinking an economy that depends on continued growth is rarely a winning strategy. We need more immigrants actually,. We certainly don’t need to be kicking people out who are gainfully employed and paying taxes.

Malevolent delusion comes in many horrific forms.

I and mine count ourselves exceptionally fortunate to have escaped the Abrahamic blood cult of 'Christ' in which we were reared.

All the rest of our families are firmly embroiled with the Nationalist Christians, aka Nat-Cs aka fascists.

All of the rest of our families are caught up within their undying love of the hardcore believers, their unshakeable 'faith' in the fools and the dreamers, and of course their holy devotion to 'sins of the ages'.

Our nation's long and sordid history of enshrining "closely held beliefs" as the rule of law has brought us to today. "

When "closely held beliefs" aka delusion rules our freedoms cease to exist.
That is what we see happening now in real time sped up 1000x...

We are in the midst of an Americanized Spanish Inquisition Y'all Qaeda style.

We are in the midst of our very fight for our own personal survival and that of our nation.

May reason rule.

when the FBI raided ONE of Trump's Golf Course Resorts and found large quantities of blank fake social security cards and a printing press??????????

It was during Trump's first occupation of the White House.........NOTHING EVER CAME OF IT, AND NONE OF HIS OTHER PROPERTIES WERE RAIDED TO SEE IF THEY TOO WERE DOING THE SAME THING.

There is so much corruption in Trump's empire, it would keep the entire staff of the DOJ busy for years, just investigating him and all his grifting and businesses.........

The work visa H2B????? that is intended for people who can immigrate to the U.S. that have some special talent, like a rocket scientist, computer expert, etc. Authorized specifically for people who have some specific talent that is not available by a citizen of the U.S.

Trump has a Large Mass of those Visa's for his housekeepers/domestics in his hotels, and groundskeepers at his golf courses........
and he was able to obtain them even before he became 45........Now he probably has one for every immigrant employee, in every one of his golf courses/resorts/businesses..........and a whole stack of them for new hires.........

Rather than focus on the hardened criminals he promised to deport, Trump is focusing his efforts on those who are easy to find and revoke immigration status from in order to bump up his deportation numbers: those with student visas, those who entered the country legally through the CBP one app, those entering at checkpoints (airports, e.g.) whose visit can be misconstrued as something other than simple tourism. Dreamers are probably on the short list. Anyone whose location he can find because part of their compliance and maintenance of their legal status depends on making themselves known to ICE.

It's all performative cruelty in search of a numbers boost because ICE wasn't finding enough hardened criminals to deport.
