On Monday, the Justice Department asked a federal judge in Texas who issued an injunction last week against President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty to stay his injunction. The Obama administration also proposed that the judge issue a partial stay that would allow every state except for Texas to start implementing Obama’s executive amnesty.
The Justice Department gave U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen until Wednesday to decide on the matter. If Hanen does not act, the Justice Department will ask the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals for a stay.
The Justice Department argued that the Department of Homeland Security would “sustain irreparable harm” that would not be cured even if the Obama administration wins its appeal. The Obama administration alleged that a “stay pending appeal is necessary to ensure that the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS” or “Department”) is able to most effectively protect national security, public safety, and the integrity of the border.”
“Allowing the preliminary injunction to remain in place pending appeal would also harm the interests of the public and of third parties, who will be deprived of the significant law enforcement and humanitarian benefits of prompt implementation of the Guidance,” the Justice Department argued in its filing.

...like changing the tires whilst going down the road...but this is nothing new...
The attorney who wrote that should be disbarred. You can't lie to the court in a brief. That is such a bald faced lie that it does not even deserve a response, other than referring the attorney to the state bar for purposes of discipline.
The total is 26 states including Texas. There are several states sitting on the fence ready to join.
Obama’s stay request is a joke. I would hazard a guess that it is to appease the illegal alien advocates such as Luis Guiterrez (D-IL).
He can’t. What this will do is trigger an ‘equal protection’ suit from libs inside Texas that will force Texas to comply.
Nope. Not satire.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
obozo’s DOJ, selectively enforce the laws they like and ignore those they don’t agree with
I see you’ve been paying attention!
Deport Obama.
I can't imagine how the administration can claim with a hint of honesty that the inability to issue work permits to illegals is inhibiting DHS, or putting the nation at risk.
They can't just say this stuff in a brief, they have to show some evidence, don't they?
How can there be a question about enforcing current law? The whole issue is that bam bam is ignoring the law in the first place.
I don’t see how they can prove harm to DHS if amnesty doesn’t go forward. That’s absolute nonsense.
He can’t. What this will do is trigger an ‘equal protection’ suit from libs inside Texas that will force Texas to comply.
Amnesty still does not make them citizens because it's Congress who must do that.
This PUTOS is pure Communist. I wish everybody was as angry about this as I am.
And I'm not using Communist as an insult, he just is one!
How does the Obama amnesty protect the national security?
These are sick, twisted, perverted, foolish, stupid, crazy, wicked and evil people.
Ane them’s their good points.
The law is whatever Shemperor 0bama says it is today.
“But isn’t he a Federal judge? “
And it’s the federal department of Justice that is making this proposal! The federal district court judges in the states are falling over like dominoes on homosexual marriage because federal law is supposed to be consistent.
(I suppose the GOP-e could launch yet another investigation .... This would make, what, about a gross? harrumph harrumph harrumph)
They know they can show outrage and pretend they give a cr@p what the judge said. They have stopped nothing, nor will they, because like the illegal they protect, there is no penalty for their action.
Da Judge will ask nobama if he’s ever heard the term “piss up a rope”.
Just because nobama and his gaggle think they are the smartest ones in the room, don’t make it so.
