MANILA, Philippines — An estimated 10,000 Filipinos may be deported as the United States rescinds a program allowing undocumented immigrant children to stay legally in their country.

US President Donald Trump announced the formal dismantling of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which has given nearly 800,000 young immigrants a reprieve from deportation.
Trump gave the US Congress six months to come up with a law that would prevent the deportations of many as the people covered by the program.

DFA on standby to assist Filipinos facing deportation

The Philippine government will assist Filipinos who will be affected by the revocation of the DACA program, the Department of Foreign Affairs said.
"We will authorize, with certain limitations, the use of the Assistance to Nationals Fund and the Legal Assistance Fund to assist immigration-related cases such as those arising from the decision of President Trump to revoke the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals or DACA," Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano said.
The Philippines' top diplomat urged members of the Filipino community in the US to remain hopeful and to actively support the passage of new laws that would assist those who will be affected by the policy change.
"In any event, we are ready to welcome and assist our kababayans in whatever way we can if they are returned to the Philippines," Cayetano said.
According to Chargé d'Affaires Patrick Chuasoto of the Philippine Embassy in Washington, D.C., the DACA program provides temporary legal status, allowing qualified immigrant children from the Philippines and other countries to stay, study and work in the US.
The DACA program was part of an executive order that former US President Barack Obama issued in 2012 to protect undocumented immigrant children from deportation.
About 310,000 out of the 3.4 million Filipinos in the US are undocumented, Chuasoto said.

Suspected German Pedophile Faces Deportation

Sometimes, it's not easy to write about countrymen in the Philippines, especially, if they committed crime.

A suspected German paedophile, as I learned from PNA (Philippine News Agency), who is wanted for sexually abusing 17 minors (!) in Germany will soon be deported after 13 years of hiding in the country.

Bureau of Immigration Commissioner Ricardo David Jr. identified the suspect as 49-years-old GISBERT LEISTNER, who is presently detained at the BI jail in Bicutan, Taguig City, near Manila.

Imigration legal chief Arvin Santos said the BIU board of commissioners has already issued a summary deportation against Leistner, thus he will be expelled as soon as the German Embassy releases his travel documents.

David said that as an undesirable alien, Leistner does not to deserve the privilege to stay in the Philippines. He also warned other foreign fugitives hiding in the country that their days are numbered as they are now the object of a manhunt by the bureau's intelligence operatives.

I agree. It happened in all countries all over the world. And,this has nothing to do with an unfriendly (?) immigration system in the Philippines.

In Leistner's case it is very clear.
