Like Citizenship, But Not


For John, BLUFBeing a "Dreamer" is apparently not a quarantee of citizenship.  That means that the US Congress has left us with an incomplete action.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From The Dallas News, by Reporters Ms Jennifer Emily and Ms Sarah Sarder, 21 March 2019.

Here is the lede plus three:

A flight attendant who grew up in Dallas was released Friday afternoon from an immigration detention center after six weeks facing potential deportation following a trip abroad for her job.

Selene Saavedra Roman, 28, flew to Mexico in February from Houston after her employer, Mesa Airlines, told her she could safely travel abroad because she is a DACA recipient.

Saavedra, who is also married to a U.S. citizen, was detained the same day after the return flight.

On Friday afternoon, after news of her detention spread online, Saavedra was released from a Conroe lockup, her husband said.

This is one of the reasons we need comprehensive immigration reform.  The DACA Program, instituted in 2012, still does not have a path to citizenship.  This needs to be fixed and the fix needs to come from Congress, which is where legislation comes from.  Then the President needs to sign it.  What is the holdup?

Hat tip to the Drudge Report.
