He said the case would get a "more serious and less completely partisan" consideration there than it got in the lower courts, which he described as "ultraconservative".
"In terms of the children, USA citizen children, of these undocumented parents, it takes a huge toll especially when they come at age 9, 10 years old when they start to understand that their parents could be arrested and could be deported", Marcus said. In addition, applicants had to register, pass a criminal background check, and prove they had paid their taxes. They said if they tried applying legally it could mean they'd be away from each other and their daughter for what could be 20 to 30 years while on the wait list.
"The effects could really be profound here in MA, especially on the economy", said Jessica Vaughan with the Center for Immigration Studies.
The executive order would expand the pool of unauthorized immigrants who could seek deferrals allowing them to stay in the United States without immediate threat of deportation. Court challenges to that order failed. The most recent temporary reprieve for adults, however, infuriated the GOP. The top USA court has not scheduled oral arguments in the case, but it is expected to render a decision by mid-June, with the U.S. election season in full swing and less than a month before the Republican and Democratic nominating conventions.
The president said he could take all of those actions under the guise of prosecutorial discretion, which gives the administration the power to decide which immigrants it wants to deport.
But there is no assurance of how the court will rule. It is whether the policy violates the constitutional clause that requires the president to "take care" that the laws passed by Congress are faithfully executed.
Help us bring you the news.
He is filing a brief opposing the president's action on behalf of 88 congressmen and 25 senators, including the two Texas senators, Ted Cruz and John Cornyn.
Both sides sounded a note of confidence after the announcement.
With the arrival of this case, hitching their immigration plans to Obama's executive actions could backfire on the candidates: a victory for the Obama administration would likely enrage conservatives and embolden the Republican candidate, while a loss for the administration would force the Democrats to backpedal and disassociate themselves from a policy deemed unconstitutional.
One of the largest questions looming over the case is whether the state challengers have the right to do so. That would leave Obama with barely half a year to get the program up and running before his presidency ends.
"This does signal hope for a positive outcome for the over 4 million people nationwide that would be impacted directly by the president's pending executive action on immigration". If the Supreme Court upholds the order, the administration has promised to quickly implement the program. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen agreed with the state that, because it would face a financial cost in providing driver's licenses to those covered by the new program, it had standing to challenge the initiative.
The Obama Administration appealed.
The State of Texas, acting on behalf of 26 states, challenged the program's constitutionality and has won every legal challenge so far, the Associated Press reports.
Oh, my heart bleeds! SCREW ‘EM! THEY ARE HERE I-L-L-E-G-A-L-L-Y ... I don’t give a squirrel’s butt crack how young or old they are. Deport them - ALL of them!
The identical case can be made for not arresting and incarcerating thieves and murderers and opium wholesalers.
I don’t want to split up the families of illegal aliens. Deport them, too.
He has nothing to worry about. The traitor Kennedy has already decided to give Obama carte blanche to violate the 1986 and 1996 immigration laws.
Connecticut saw fit to elect Blumenthal to the United States Senate. Just awesome.
New York elects our own schmuck Spitzer as Governor where he is thankfully nailed by a prostitution bust.
I don't think there has ever been a time in American history where more sordid and creepy evil persons were in more government offices at the same time. I guess it can't get much worse. Any variation of William F. Buckley's quote certainly applies to our current predicament ...
"I'd rather be governed by the first 2,000 names in the Boston telephone directory than by ... "
The parents can take their children with them. Nothing stopping them.
Yes! Back where they came from.
Am I missing something? Where is Blumenthal’s name in this article? It doesn’t even mention who he is. I thought it was psychopath Sidney Blumental but apparently it is the liar Blumenthal from Connecticut or Rhode Island or Newfoundland.
This article is so poorly written that I think the writer lives in Bombay, India and does rewrites of American stories for fun.
Connecticut will be front and center before the U.S. Supreme Court this year via the presence of its senior senator in an election-year-charged immigration case.The Supreme Court said recently it will review the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling blocking implementation of two Obama administration initiatives: the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents - known as DAPA - and the expansion of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, called DACA.
Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said in a prepared statement he is going to bat for what he sees as "common-sense immigration policy." He will lead a brief to the Supreme Court arguing against the Fifth Circuit Court's stand.
...
Don’t forget sidewalk pissers.
And, born here != ‘citizens’...Not that I expect the political class to be able to read/comprehend simple English as “subject to the jurisdiction thereof”; especially since they don’t believe themselves to be ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the Constitution to begin. But I digress.
Concur. Ship them ALL home.
