Dreamers” will spur a new wave of illegal immigration and create a new population that will need an amnesty 10 or 20 years in the future, the government’s chief deportation official said Tuesday.

Tom Homan, who has been acting as the chief at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement since the beginning of the Trump administration, said even the talk of a renewed immigration debate on Capitol Hill will entice people to make the perilous journey to try to jump the border, saying during his nearly 35 years in immigration enforcement he’s seen it happen “every time you talk about some sort of benefit” such as legal status for illegal immigrants.

“It certainly increases illegal crossings, that’s been proven for the last three decades I’ve been around,” Mr. Homan said at an event sponsored by the Center for Immigration Studies.

Homan will be retiring at the end of the month, but he clearly doesn’t want to see all of the progress his agency has made washed away in a major setback. And the warning he’s issuing has the ring of common sense to it. Any signal that something resembling a general amnesty with a free pass to American citizenship is in the offing will quickly reach the streets of the countries where most illegal immigrants come from. At that point you’re basically daring them to take a shot at making it into the country any way they can in the hopes of getting in on the action.

And to what end? The discussions of this upcoming deal certainly don’t sound promising. Rather than Lawful Permanent Resident status, members of Congress are now talking about full citizenship rights for an increasingly large number of eligible illegal aliens. (A group which Democrats would immediately begin rushing to register as voters.) And what is being offered in return? All we’ve heard thus far is talk of “a study of future border security needs.”

I’m sorry, but that’s the old Popeye and Wimpy joke, offering to gladly pay us Tuesday for a hamburger today. And as Homan went on to point out, if we trigger a new flood of border jumpers this summer with such a proposal, they might not qualify for a DACA fix today, but we’re “setting ourselves up for another amnesty in the future.”

As I’ve written here repeatedly, the preferred number of people receiving amnesty would be zero. Nobody should be shoved to the head of the line in front

And the warning he ’s issuing has the ring of common sense to it. Any signal that something resembling a general amnesty with a complimentary pass to American citizenship is in the offing will quickly strive the streets of the countries where most illegal immigrants derive from.
