DACA Renewal Applications Resume After Judge's Ruling
Townhall.com ^ | January 14, 2018 | Timothy Meads

Yesterday, the Department of Homeland Security announced that it would resume the application renewal process for illegal aliens seeking protection from deportation after being brought into the United States as children. These “Dreamers”, as they are known in some circles, had previously been shielded from deportation under President Barack Obama’s executive order known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA).

On Tuesday January 9th, U.S. District Judge William Allsup ruled that President Donald J. Trump did not have the legal authority to rescind some parts of the program. In September 2017, Trump pledged to end DACA altogether unless Democrats and Republicans in Congress could craft a bill addressing serious legal and immigration issues that he could sign. Allsup ruled that the DHS must accept applications from individuals seeking to renew their "Dreamer" status, but did not have to accept new applications from individuals applying for the first time.

"These individuals had submitted substantial personal identifying information to the government, paid hefty fees and planned their lives according to the dictates of DACA," the Judge wrote. "The administrative record includes no consideration to the disruption a rescission would have on the lives of DACA recipients, let alone their families, employers and employees, schools and communities." 

He added that the government's arguments were "arbitrary, capricious and an abuse of discretion." 

After hearing Allsup’s decision, the White House strongly condemned what some may say is judicial overreach. "An issue of this magnitude must go through the normal legislative process," White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said. "President Trump is committed to the rule of law, and will work with members of both parties to reach a permanent solution that corrects the unconstitutional actions taken by the last administration."

And President Trump tweeted on Wednesday, "It just shows everyone how broken and unfair our Court System is when the opposing side in a case (such as DACA) always runs to the 9th Circuit and almost always wins before being reversed by higher courts.”  

On Sunday morning, President Trump once again took to Twitter to slam America’s immigration policy. "DACA is probably dead because the Democrats don’t really want it, they just want to talk and take desperately needed money away from our Military,” he proclaimed

Moments the president later called for a merit based immigration system. 

“I, as President, want people coming into our Country who are going to help us become strong and great again, people coming in through a system based on MERIT. No more Lotteries! #AMERICA FIRST,” he added

So far, Republicans and Democrats have not been able to compromise on an immigration reform bill that would also address the problem of illegal aliens and "Dreamers" currently in the United States.

We’re supposed to have checks and balances between the three branches but the only “check” on the judiciary seems to be within the judiciary itself. Some rogue judge rules that a president doesn’t have authority to rescind an executive action of a prior president, if there were true checks and balances the president should be able to say “this is an executive branch perogative, you’re the one without authority” and ignore it. If he’s out of line, the congress can impeach. But instead everyone just bows before the rogue judge and says “well what can you do? we must obey the judges. Maybe a bigger judge will save us someday.”

So the big question is how many of these dreamers are actually bothering to register?

Correct!!!

The ‘judge’ (maybe more appropriately: ‘activist in a black sheet’) never said that the applications had to be approved, did he?

Wrinkled or dog-eared page >>> Circular file
Wrong shade of black ink >>> Circular file
Misspelled wurd [sic] >>> Circular file
Staple hole >>> Circular file
Smudge >>> Circular file

This could be fun...Let’s come up with a whole list of disqualifiers to help the DHS screening process.

Need 67 guilty votes in an impeachment trial in the Senate to remove a judge and there are 51 Republicans, counting the RINOs.

Another federal judge or judges already said it was illegal in the first place .

Why are any applications being processed after those previous rulings .

Barf alert!
Meanwhile,The WAR on WHITEY: Schools and colleges are now teaching children to believe that being born white makes you a bad person.
And my innocent white children see it in their school. Time for us to fight back this BS! Enough already!
White men founded our republic. White men gave their lives to end slavery. Today, whites are largely responsible for the day-to-day commerce of this country. Many black teenagers hold themselves back, in contrast, by deliberately rejecting the values on which this country was founded. Self-destructive behavior by many – not white privilege – is ruining the lives of millions.

It’s all part of a much larger anti-white agenda – one that leftist extremists are using to divide the country and create chaos. Should it continue without being nipped in the bud, much worse times are coming, at least for white people – and white males specifically – who will increasingly become the targets of politically-correct racism, which is the only kind of racism that’s tolerated in America today.

The payoff for the dirty Left’s diversity and multicultural agenda is stoking racial discord.
Minority special-interest groups are using the banners of ‘equality,’ ‘diversity,’ and ‘social justice’ as a power grab. The intention is to impose their agenda on the white majority. It is a fight for equality only in the Orwellian sense … We are observing a grab for power by vocal minority groups that want to be more equal than others. Look out. If they succeed, they will institutionalize the inquisition.

Must watch and share....0 = Colton died. My heart is broken for this family. This needs to go viral. Mom? Dad?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrAFKJMMvRc#action=share

Did you know that hpv vaccine can kill your healthy child? My heart aches for them and so many unnamed others killed by these DEMONIC TOOLS..Why are the medical profession still pushing the deadly HPV vaccine?The REAL TRAGEDY in this death is that it did not have to happen! THIS man-made garbage injected into this boy was supposed to protect him from HPV that is now in all eggs, in all humans, andn even in the clouds above us! HPV is also in every cancer cell in our bodies! Yes, we all have some form of cancer and our immune system is either keeping it at bay or it is growing only to be discovered with the very poor diagnostic medical equipment after 10 or more years of growth with billions of cells creating tumors they can eventually see, etc.

They have doubled the aluminum in this garbage poison injection and they seem to think that is a good thing. Really! HPV can be controlled with some simple things, not this heinous, dangerous, and ineffective vaccine the medical terrorists are pushing on boys as well as girls now. SHAMEFUL! DISGUSTING! BAD SCIENCE is at work here! When will it stop? It must stop!The grim truth is that all over the world, HPV vaccines are causing paralysis, brain damage, autoimmune disease, sterility, and death.

I don’t know the situation in other states and other countries, but in California, any child 12 or older can get HPV vaccines without parents giving consent or even being notified after the fact. So educate your kids! Show them the video of Colton and his mother describing his vaccine injury. Show your child websites where HPV vaccine victims and their parents tell their stories of HPV vaccine injuries and deaths. Tell your kids that adverse effects like this are COMMON, not rare...that every young person who gets these vaccines will experience autoimmunity and aluminum poisoning. ))=’

“equal protection of the laws” does not confer citizenship rights; only protection.

Protection is not a gift of something to which you are not entitled under said laws.

Yo, Judge... What LAW are you upholding or interpreting here, pray tell?

Exactly... and it will never happen, at least not of a liberal judge.
