Court declines to lift hold on Obama's immigration actions
The Hill ^ | 4/7/2015 | Ben Kamisar

A federal judge denied the federal government's request to lift a hold on President Obama's controversial immigration actions in an opinion released Tuesday night.

Judge Andrew Hanen wrote that the government misled the court by revealing last month it had granted expanded work permit renewals to 100,000 illegal immigrants before the court blocked the administration from implementing its new policies.

ADVERTISEMENT He added a new hearing in March only “reinforced” his February decision to issue a “stay” to block those new policies, meant to delay deportations for millions of undocumented immigrants and provide them with the opportunity to apply for work permits.

“It is obvious that there is no pressing, emergent need for this program,” he wrote as part of the rationale for not allowing the administration to immediately implement its new policies.

A group of more than 20 states has challenged the president’s immigration actions as an executive overreach. Hanen ruled in February the courts should decide the constitutionality of the policies before implementation.

The federal government had contended the Texas district court judge didn’t have the jurisdiction to block all of the policies, just the ones that impact Texas, essentially creating different immigration standards for the interim. But Hanen dismissed that argument as inconsistent with the Constitution, which calls for “uniform” immigration laws.

And how exactly is that? She file an Amicus brief? She’s probably holds the personal best record for cases dismissed with prejudice, but I haven’t checked.

Funny, she has no press releases on her website touting her spectacular push to have 20 states file suit as ‘State of Texas et al’ vs. the ‘United States of America et al’

Besides, I think she sprained her brain jousting her previous windmill.

I hope the judge has a food taster.

Amnesty fanbois Boehner, McConnell and Obama all very angry at this judge.

Jawless Jeb the Flesh Head also disappointed.

I think Dennis Michael Lynch is going to shake things up over the illegals.

Obama’s Legacy: Immigration
April 4, 2015 9
For years, I’ve been crying from the rooftops about Obama’s fundamental transformation being all about immigration. Unfortunately, few people listened. Instead, they chased Obamacare. Over the next 18 months, the fundamental transformation will be complete.
This week, the US signed an agreement to help teach immigrants, both legal and illegal, how to unionize when they arrive to America. And then there are the new refugees and paroles coming in from Central America. All of this is old news to me; I learned about it all while researching They Come to America 3.
To think Jeb Bush is leading in the GOP polls. To him, this is all one big ACT OF LOVE.
The opening few seconds of ‘They Come to America 3: The Cost of Obama’s Legacy’ says it all. The film will be available at the end of April. It will make you cry.
