After Judge’s Ruling, Obama Delays Immigration Actions
NYT ^ | February 17, 2015 | By MICHAEL D. SHEAR and ASHLEY PARKER

Posted on 02/17/2015 11:58:36 AM PST by Jim Robinson

WASHINGTON — Just one day before undocumented immigrants were set to begin applying for work permits and legal protections, the Obama administration announced on Tuesday that it would delay carrying out President Obama’s executive actions on immigration, saying a federal judge’s last-minute ruling had tied the White House’s hands.

Jeh C. Johnson, the Homeland Security secretary, vowed to appeal the court ruling, which said that the president had not followed proper legal procedures in instituting his program. But Mr. Johnson said the department would comply with it by suspending plans to begin accepting applications from an expanded group of illegal immigrants on Wednesday.

Obama sucks-up to illegals---signs "amnesty memos" on AF One.
Both "memos" are now on the Whitehouse website.

The first of Obama's presidential action memos is entitled: “Creating Welcoming Communities Fully Integrating Immigrants and Refugees,” filed Nov. 26 in the Federal Register at Vol. 79, No. 228, (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-11-26/html/2014-28191.htm).

In the category “Presidential Documents” at page 70769, Obama ordered a White House Task Force on New Americans to “engage with community, business, and faith leaders, as well as State and local elected officials.” The task force is designed to “help determine additional steps the Federal Government can take to ensure its programs and policies are serving diverse communities that include new Americans.”

The second of the presidential actions entitled, “Modernizing and Streamlining the U.S. Immigration Visa System for the 21st Century,” filed Nov. 26 in the Federal Register at Vol. 79, No. 228, in the category “Presidential Documents” at page 70765 (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-11-26/html/2014-28191.htm).

This empowered the secretaries of State and Homeland Security, in consultation with the director of the Office of Management and Budget, the director of the National Economic Council, the assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, the director of the Domestic Policy Council, the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the attorney general, and the secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Labor and Education.

The order was to make a series of recommendations “to reduce government costs, improve services for applicants, reduce burdens on employers, and combat waste, fraud, and abuse in the system” of issuing immigrant and non-immigrant visas.

I am just waiting until it gets to the Supreme Court and a country club Judge probably either Kennedy or Roberts votes with the libs on the bench and kills it. Never underestimate the fecklessness, duplicity and treachery of the scum of the country club.

am surprised. There is an authority that gives Obama pause.

It's a matter of appearances. He'd ignore it if he didn't think appearances might still be necessary. He's being cautions and methodical about how much power he claims at any one time.

Courageous Judge.

Absolutely. I never thought I'd have to say this in the USA, I thought we were in some exempt fairy land where we had all, all together, agreed to respect the rule of law and the First Amendment. That's not the way it is any longer. Let's just say I am putting my trust in the confidentiality of the FR database, as I am getting paranoid in my old age.

Methinks Zero will tee it up for the Supremes to rubber stamp, since he doesn’t like to leave fingerprints at the scene of the crime.

What about the 5th district, the next court up?

I believe they could reverse this judge's decision and remove the stay.

From what I’ve read, the ‘5th’ has conservative leanings.

Zero opens the floodgates for illegals, yet refuses to provide ISIS intel to Egypt and Jordan and undermines Israel.

He is still working overtime to destroy America.

He hates the three Cs:

(true) Christianity
(original intent of the) Constitution
(free market) Capitalism
