It just is crazy out there….
While most Republican lawmakers in Congress seem to actually support the program?
Some states are now going to court to end it thus removing protections for over 100,000 who have had the law covering them and putting them in linbe for deportation based on information and rules they followed legally up to now….
Texas Attorney General Paxton said his coalition of attorneys general would urge the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas to declare DACA unconstitutional. “Left intact, DACA sets a dangerous precedent by giving the executive branch sweeping authority to ignore the laws enacted by Congress and change our nation’s immigration laws to suit a president’s own preferences,” Paxton said.
Joining Texas in the litigation were Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia — a smaller group than Paxton put together in a June letter threatening to sue over DACA. The earlier letter was signed by attorneys general from all six states plus Idaho, Tennessee and Kansas. Idaho Gov. Butch Otter, a Republican, also joined that group.
The plaintiffs hope the new litigation will follow the path of the 2014 lawsuit against the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program, known as DAPA. In June 2016, the Supreme Court deadlockedover DAPA and an extension of DACA, which would have offered work permits to millions of undocumented immigrants.
The high court — shorthanded after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia four months earlier — split 4-4, leaving in place a lower court ruling that blocked the initiatives from moving forward……
Note….
The DACA program IS a Excutive branch creation that has never been codified by Congress, something Trump IS trying to get Congress to do…With Court rulling supporting the program…Congress continues to NOT deal with the program…
What’s noticeable is that Texas (and possibly South Carolina) is the only one of the plaintiffs directly affected by immigration to any significant degree.
The others were “Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina and West Virginia” supported in an earlier letter by Idaho, Tennessee and Kansas.
Similar to the effect where the further a place was from real Muslims (or Jews), the less it knew about them and the more likely it was to panic over the imposition of Sharia (or Jewish) law.
It’s the conservative thing I suppose DSD on this….
