The Obama administration is urging dismissal of a lawsuit that would dismantle the president's immigration program, an initiative designed to spare nearly 5 million people in the U.S. illegally from deportation.
The case was brought by an Arizona sheriff, Joe Arpaio, who contends that President Barack Obama's program serves as a magnet for more illegal entries into the U.S. Arpaio says the new arrivals will commit crimes and thus burden his law enforcement resources.
In a court filing late Monday, the Justice Department told U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell that the sheriff's theory is speculative and unsubstantiated and that Arpaio has failed to show he will suffer any injury at all from the federal government's program.
The sheriff's challenge to the federal program is "meritless," the Justice Department said in its court filing.
The Justice Department said the federal program "does not grant legal status to any alien. Rather, it authorizes a temporary exercise of prosecutorial discretion on a case-by-case basis for certain individuals who have been in the United States since 2010 and have deep ties to the community."
The department said the Supreme Court has made clear that the federal government has broad discretion on immigration enforcement.

” The department said the Supreme Court has made clear that the federal government has broad discretion on immigration enforcement.”

Sent From: Who’s My Legislator
Gentlemen,
I see that 24 states have joined a lawsuit challenging President Obamas executive action halting the deportation of illegal immigrants. I also believe that Virginia is not one of those states.
Please tell me if my information is wrong. If Virginia has indeed not joined this lawsuit, please explain why not. Please tell me what course of action you intend to pursue in the upcoming legislative session with regards to this issue. Please explain your position as my delegate/senator on this issue.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
The damn GOP in the House won’t do the job they outsiders must. Go Joe!!!!!!!
CRICKETS
PING!! BTT!
PING!! BTT!
“it authorizes a temporary exercise of prosecutorial discretion on a case-by-case basis for certain individuals who have been in the United States since 2010 and have deep ties to the community.”
5 million case-by-case instances of prosecutorial discretion? Only its really like 30 million cases.
lying bastards
That judge, Beryl Howell, is an odd one. The very definition of “government insider”, she has dealt with and written all sorts of high tech laws. Several troubling aspects as well.
Very odd biography.
