In Obama administration's legal fight on immigration, time is an adversary

In his fight to help millions of immigrants living in the country illegally, President Obama’s most implacable enemy may not be House Republicans or conservative governors, but the ticking clock.

A lengthy battle in a Texas court case could prove fatal for his plans to provide a temporary haven for up to 5 million people in the U.S. illegally. If the legal fight continues into next year, it will be difficult if not impossible for officials to process millions of applications before Obama leaves office.

Another “Mensa” at the LASimes has broken the code. Unless the 5th Circuit sets this injunction aside, the legal process will consume the rest of Obola’s term. This is one time when the slow grinding of the legal process is our friend.

And it will take time for them to destroy all those same amnesty records if a Republican wins the POTUS election.

Much like the Nazis burned their records in the bunker 1945.

“The illegal president fights a legal battle to legalize illegal aliens via an illegal executive memo.”

Bears repeating, and it sums up the situation nicely. I feel like I’m living in a Bizarro America.

Never thought I would see a U.S President protecting Fraudulently Documented Foreigners from Federal Laws that he took an oath to faithfully execute.

Obama will be down here in South Florida Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers on immigration this week.
