Darrell Castle explains DACA and discusses Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ defense of the rule of law and how it applies to the ending of DACA. Transcript / Notes Hello this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. Today is Friday, September 15, 2017, and on today’s report I will be discussing DACA, which stands for Delayed Action for Childhood Arrivals.  In June of 2012, President Obama, after Congress repeatedly denied his request for Congressional implementation, decided to take legislative action on his own authority, by executive order. President Trump campaigned on a promise of ending DACA “on his first day in office.”  It took more than eight months but he finally got around to withdrawing President Obama’s executive order.  Last week Attorney General Jeff Sessions was sent out before the cameras to make the announcement that DACA would be ending.  That, in and of itself, is probably significant because President Trump is usually not shy at all about the limelight, but it is through Attorney General Sessions’ remarks that we will approach this discussion because his remarks contained as fine a description of why the rule of law is important that you will ever hear or read. He said that to have a lawful system of immigration that serves the national interest, we cannot admit everyone who would like to come here.  Therein lies the rub, because so many Democrats and Republicans consider their own interests and the interests of their Party’s leadership, but not the national interest. DACA was a program that provided a legal status for recipients for a renewable two year term, as well as work authorization, and participation in the social security program.  These benefits went to about 800,000 illegal aliens who were supposed to be exclusively children but apparently were also a lot of adults.  Notice I used the term “illegal aliens” to describe these people because that is the description in America’s immigration laws, and it is the description used in his announcement by Jeff Sessions.   It is more accurate than the politically correct “Dreamers” that is in vogue today. Jeff Sessions described for us what President Obama did in implementing DACA. “In other words, the executive branch, through DACA, deliberately sought to achieve what the legislative branch specifically refused to authorize on multiple occasions.  Such an open-ended circumvention of immigration laws was an unconstitutional exercise of authority by the Executive Branch.” He then went on to give a description of why the rule of law is so important especially with regard to immigration. “We inherited from our founders—and have advanced—an unsurpassed legal heritage, which is the foundation of our freedom, safety, and prosperity.  As the Attorney General, it is my duty to ensure that the laws of the United States are enforced and the Constitutional order is upheld. No greater good can be done for the overall health and well-being of our Republic, than preserving and strengthening the impartial rule of law.  Societies where the rule of law is treasured are societies that tend to flourish and succeed. Societies where the rule of law is subject to political whims and personal biases tend to become societies afflicted by corruption, poverty, and human suffering. To have a lawful system of immigration that serves the national interest, we cannot admit everyone who would like to come here.  That is an open border policy and the American people have rightly rejected it.  Therefore, the nation must set and enforce a limit on how many immigrants we admit each year and that means all cannot be accepted.” Well, Amen Attorney General Sessions, I could not have said it better myself. DACA is sold to us as a system of compassion.  It would not be compassionate to take away from these “children” who were brought here by their parents or others but not by their own rational choice, the legal rights once granted to them. I would point out the rights once granted under D...
