Good, he should lose.

The DREAM Act never passed Congress.

Presidents can’t pretend things have passed Congress and implement them by themselves.

Well, they didn’t used to be able to, this may be the first time it’s been tried.

-— Now, the bigger question in the legal case is timing — and whether a high-stakes legal fight over Obama’s immigration actions will explode in the heat of the 2016 presidential campaign.

The Fifth Circuit judges don’t have a deadline for delivering their final ruling. And after the appeals court considered the stay, that ruling wasn’t handed down until more than a month after the oral arguments in April.

It’s conceivable that — if the battle goes to the Supreme Court and justices take the case — a final decision on the legality of Obama’s actions may not come before June 2016. -—

Baraq cares not a whit about laws.

Naw, it Deja Vu all over again.

Can’t wait for the White House to be lit up with the Mexican Flag.

He doesn’t care. He didn’t stop after the lower court injunction did he? And more to the point, who is going to force the administration to stop?

He’ll do it anyway. Perhaps if a few officials went to jail.....

7/8/15---Judge orders Jeh Johnson, Homeland Security chief, others to court (facing contempt order)

Federal judge Andrew Hannen, Brownsville, Texas has threatened to hold DHS Secy Jeh Johnson and top US immigration officials in contempt. The DOJ said about 2,000 individuals had been sent three-year work authorizations after Judge Hanen temporarily blocked Obama's immigration action Feb. 16.

The judge had issued the injunction at the request of a coalition of 26 states, led by Texas, which filed to stop Obama’s action as unconstitutional. An appeal of Hanen’s ruling is set to be argued Friday before the 5th U. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

Obama's program protects young immigrants from deportation if they were brought here illegally as children and extends deportation protections to parents of US citizens and permanent residents in the country for some years. Republicans said Obama overstepped his authority.

Hanen requested govt officials attend an Aug. 19 hearing and “be prepared to show why he/she should not be held in contempt of court." “This court has expressed its willingness to believe that these actions were accidental and not done purposefully to violate this court’s order. Nevertheless, it is shocked and surprised at the cavalier attitude the government has taken with regard to its ‘efforts’ to rectify this situation,” Hanen wrote.

Requested to attend: R. Gil Kerlikowske, commissioner of US Customs and Border Protection; Ronald Vitiello, deputy chief of the US Border Patrol; Sarah Saldaña, director of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and Leon Rodriguez, director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services. DHS spokeswoman Marsha Catron emailed that her agency and the DOJ are reviewing Hanen’s order.

Rodriguez's court documents filed in May, said his agency had implemented “immediate corrective measures,” including revoking the permits and modifying computer systems to prevent issuing such permits in the future.

Homeland Security seeks $41.2 billion budget for 2016
February 4, 2015 6:30 AM By BioPrepWatch Reports

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson announced a $41.2 billion budget request Monday for the 2016 fiscal year.

The budget would improve the unity of effort at the department, Johnson said, focusing on “harmonizing DHS business processes.” Along with the budget, a new Common Appropriations Structure was also submitted to Congress, which would standardize financial planning, programming and budgets for all DH agencies, Johnson said.

There are five areas the department focuses on each year, and the budget is in alignment with those five missions, Johnson said.

<><> The first mission is to prevent terrorism and enhance security in the country by implementing security for the land, air and at sea.

<><> The next mission is to secure and manage the country’s borders, and reduce the number of illegal immigrants and amount of contraband getting into the United States.

<><> The third mission includes enforcing and administering immigration laws and providing safe and secure detention of illegal immigrants in federal custody if they are a flight risk or a public safety concern.

<><> The fourth mission deals with safeguarding and securing cyberspace, which impacts economic security. The 2016 budget would invest in technology and staff to reduce cybercrime and improve the security of federal network defenses.

<><> The fifth mission, Johnson said, is to strengthen national preparedness and resilience so the country can prepare and respond to any type of disaster. <> Johnson said before Congress approves any funding for the next fiscal year lawmakers should approve funding for the current year.

“The President’s FY 2016 Budget provides the resources necessary for the Department of Homeland Security to further strengthen our efforts to fulfill our wide-ranging missions, while also being agile and vigilant in the face of ever-evolving threats and recent world events,” Johnson said. “But prior to acting on the FY 2016 Budget, I urge Congress to fully fund DHS for the rest of this fiscal year, as the current continuing resolution is disruptive, creates uncertainty, and impedes efficient resource planning and execution.”
