NEW ORLEANS — Government lawyers labored on Friday to persuade federal appeals court judges here to allow President Obama to move ahead with sweeping initiatives to protect immigrants in the country illegally. But the judges’ questions seemed to make it ever more unlikely that the president’s programs, which he has hoped would be a central piece of his legacy, would start any time before the last months of his term, if at all.
A panel of three judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit heard arguments in a lawsuit by Texas and 25 other states challenging executive actions Mr. Obama announced in November that would give temporary reprieves from deportation to as many as four million immigrants and also permit them to work.
In February, a federal district judge in Texas blocked the programs. On May 26, a panel of the Fifth Circuit denied the administration’s emergency request to cancel that injunction, with two judges supporting the denial and one dissenting. This time, the judges heard a broader appeal by the government on the challenge to the executive actions.
But even though the judges issued no decision on Friday, it seemed highly probable that the administration would lose. By a stroke of bad luck for Mr. Obama and good fortune for the states bringing the lawsuit, two judges on Friday’s panel — Judge Jerry E. Smith and Judge Jennifer Elrod — are the same conservatives who ruled against the administration in May. Court officials said both panels had been randomly selected, well before the administration even brought its case to the Fifth Circuit.

Why are they even going through the motions? The judiciary has routinely been ignored by BO.
You would think the judiciary would care.
Nope.
Neither does the legislative branch.
Neither does the fourth estate.
They’re all bending over for fascism, because they don’t think they’ll be affected.
Trust me when I say this.
I have seen people on the internet actually state he has been the best President in history.
Absolutely. Many times.
....”If I had the authority to do so, every single illegal immigrant would be deported. I would give them 60 days to leave voluntarily. If they didn’t then forced deportation would be used”.....
As long as the Globalist Agenda is in play, big time now, both parties will allow them to stay but will use a lot of double talk to make people think otherwise. That’s why both parties say ‘we need reform’....which really means we’ll make it easier for those who are here to stay and send the bad boys packing.....to the sounds of the chorus clapping.
Mind boggling to think there are people who would have voted for this idiot for the second time , but to think he has been the best President in history or recent times is mind blowing.
I believe it.
Even if it never is implemented, this and other gross usurpations of power will be a huge part of his legacy.
South Carolina is among those 25 states.

The left controls 90% of the media, entertainment, and mostly all of education. They will just write the history however they want.
60 days or face execution. the $ involved is way way too much to drop them off in whatever southern country.
So if we get a Tyrannical right winger that comes down hard on the left, will I even bat an eyelash? Gonna be real hard to feel sorry for them.
“Sanctuary Cities”, MORE LIKE, Secessionist Cities!
So Obama is okay with certain cities and states, like Kalifornia leaving the Sphere of the rule of law, but by golly if the states ever want to ENFORCE rather than break federal law, all hell is to be paid...
1/3 of the Mexican population currently resides in the US at great cost to our nation, and the relief of the Mexican government/nation.
There is no political will in the US government to resolve this situation by deporting illegal aliens (mostly Mexican)despite popular resolve to do so..... Because.....
Such repatriation of Mexican nationals would utterly destroy Mexico’s economy. It would soon devolve into revolution and chaos.
Democrats would be deprived of a source of votes.
The business class would be deprived of cheap labor.
Our leaders solution to the illegal aliens is to slowly let the US turn into Mexico, a chronically poor, corrupt and Socialist country.......such is the mindset of our national “leaders.”
My solution.....
Turn Mexico into the US! (A US like nation.)
Take over Mexico as a US Territory. Let them have non-voting representatives in the Congress like the other US Territories.
Re-form the Mexican government and prosecute/jail/execute corrupt officials. Establish a Mexican Republic. Outlaw current political parties. Build infrastructure and assist in building a middle class through industrialization and the creation of service industries. Use Mexican petro dollars for this. Encourage illegal aliens in the US to re-patriot. Build a Wall with incentives (see above) for Mexicans to go/stay home!
When Mexico has become, for the first time in its history, a stable nation, release it as a free and independent nation. This will take decades/generations.......
