On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security announced its official revocation of President

Obama's executive amnesty for illegal immigrant parents.

According to the Associated Press, quote, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly formally revoked

a policy memo that created the deferred action for parents of Americans program.

The revocation came on the fifth anniversary of another effort that has protected hundreds

of thousands of young immigrants from deportation. In reality, Obama's DAPA program deferred action for parent arrival

program never took effect. The federal judge had stated pointing out that Obama had exceeded his

authority. It's unclear whether Trump is actually going to begin deporting more illegal immigrant

parents, especially since Trump administration has continued to fight back against deportation of so-called dreamers. Actually, in the exact same memo

announcing the revocation of DAPA, the Homeland Security Secretary said the deferred action for

childhood arrivals would remain in place, breaking a key campaign promise. As Daniel Horowitz of

Conservative Review pointed out last week, quote,

Trump's DHS has issued almost 125,000 DACA cards per Obama's unlawful deferred action

for childhood arrivals order to illegal aliens through the second quarter of this fiscal

year, January through March.

This surpasses the 122,000 level of amnesty cards issued during the final quarter of Obama's presidency,

October 1st through December 31st, 2016, which means the Trump administration is not even slowing

down the pace. Just last week, Kelly assured Congress, we are not, not, not targeting DACA

registrants right now and pled with Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

So, will the Trump administration actually begin keeping its commitment to begin deporting those

Obama attempted to protect under DAPA? It's difficult to tell. That uncertainty is still a step

up from the Obama administration's obvious unwillingness to consider deportation for entire classes
