NO PAROLE OR DEFERRED ACTION FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS, HATCH, 7 OTHERS TELL OBAMA

 

WASHINGTON – Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and seven Senate colleagues sent a letter to President Obama today, urging him not to proceed with any plan to parole or defer action on millions of illegal aliens in the United States.

 

“We understand that there’s a push for your Administration to develop a plan to unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States …,” the senators told the president in the June 21, 2010, letter. “The Administration would be wise to abandon any plans for deferred action or parole … Such a move would further erode the American public’s confidence in the federal government and its commitment to securing the borders and enforcing the laws already on the books.”

 

Granted by the Department of Homeland Security, “deferred action” is a temporary form of relief that suspends deportation hearings for illegal aliens for a time and can also allow them to apply for an employment authorization card.

 

In their letter to the president, Hatch and the other senators wrote that the Obama administration’s immigration policy should not be misused to usurp Congress’ authority.

 

“While deferred action and parole are Executive Branch authorities, they should not be used to circumvent Congress’ constitutional authority to legislate immigration policy, particularly as it relates to the illegal population in the United States,” the senators wrote.

 

Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa; Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.; David Vitter, R-La.; Jim Bunning, R-Ky.; James Inhofe, R-Okla.; Thad Cochran, R-Miss.; and Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., also signed the letter to the president.
