The Great Delegalization

Tuesday, August 11, 2026

More than a million immigrants are seeing protections that granted them safe lives in the U.S. suddenly swept away.

The U visa program strengthens public safety by creating trust between police and immigrant communities. Until 2012, the visas had bipartisan support -- but then Republicans began to view it as an easily exploited pathway to legal residency.

The last immigrants standing in the age of delegalization are the Dreamers"traditionally regarded by both parties as politically sympathetic. In 2017, when Trump's first Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, declared an end to Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or daca, there was some momentum to pass immigration legislation"but by the time the Supreme Court ruled that the way in which the Administration tried to cancel the program was unlawful, talks in Congress had fallen apart. A federal case over the program's legality could eventually make its way to the Supreme Court"perhaps that, finally, might shock Congress into action. In the meantime, the Trump Administration is slow-walking daca applications, allowing recipients to lose their protections while waiting for their next renewals. The Great Delegalization, in ways big and small, continues apace.>/vlockquote>

Thanks, Republicans, heckuva job.

The Miller comment is mine, not in that paragraph from the article.

I wonder why Obama only let them apply for temporary status?

Because Congress failed to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

You would not wonder if you could look it up and do the research for yourself.

Stop waiting for Fixed News to tell you what to think.

DOC says we are Stephen Miller he is right. Our reaction to him. as Americans, should have been much louder and all Democrats and Republicans in Congress should refuse to pass a my bill of any kind until Stephen Miller is fired! Our nation can not move. A head with a self-vowed NAZI as a top advisor to the President! We fought WWII to defeat the NAZIs; every day Miller works in the Wnitd House is an insult to every member of the Greatest generation!

Sounds like if Obama even cared he'd have done something early on.... Like when he had majorities in the House and Senate.

Yes, those immigrants crawled on their hands and knees through jungles, deserts and raging rivers to get here, with their cell phones and chargers along the way.

He did care. About Americans. He used his political capital to attempt to pass comprehensive health care reform (the ACA) For America. Which Americans desperately needed (and still need).

And then spent the rest of his term trying to enact it and protect it from the spite of republicans conspiring to undermine the law of the land.

Maybe you could not see all that from under your rock.

Lemme guess; you think people on public assistance who have air conditioning or transportation, or maybe even refrigerators, are a problem.

When some folks have someone's knee on their necks they can't wait to get their knee on someone else's neck.

Apparently.

Human beings have migrated since they started walking on two feet... It's what we were born to do. It's like the waves in the ocean... or the wind in the air... nothing can stop it... seriously... nothing... all your huffing and puffing and bllllooooooowwwwing yourself... changes it.

In fact... YOU... you ungrateful... empty-headed POS... are a product of mass migration. Smart people use this force of nature to enhance their stock portfolios. Dumb esses like you pitch about it... as if...what you think matters.

I have to admit ... I get a lot of satisfaction when I hear the Brits complain about migration problems... How's it feel not having the sun set... blah blah blah?

Same with Spain... Portugal... Germany... Holland... France... Russia and any other European bloc that sent the brightest and best Euro trash giving them problems at home...rapists, murderers... chronically insane... religious whack jobs... anywhere on the planet... to spread "Christendom"... saving humanity from the depravity of savages... boo hoo hoo hoo hoowaaaaaahhhhhhh

The one that made insurance companies richer?

BTW we were having a discussion about immigration, and you had to find a distraction.

"The one that made insurance companies richer?"

Before O'Care, you could Google "health insurers report record profits" and ANY YEAR, and get proof.

The trajectory was unsustainable, with medical inflation rising at 4x the rate of inflation in the ten years prior.

Then, in the first year of O'Care, I got a rebate, since my insurer paid out less than 80% of its premiums.

The insurance companies are richer, no doubt, but O'Care did the one thing most needed: it tamped down the rate increase trajectory.

One last note: even if prices remain the same, your prices go up every single year. Why? Because you're a year older than that person last year. 54yr olds always pay more than 44yr olds, and always less than 64yr olds. Even for the same product.

You're still dodging the Immigration debate...

What immigration debate?

There's no debate.

Democrats welcome legal immigration.

Republicans don't want any immigration unless they're Europeans or White South Africans.
