The Supreme Court's decision in DHS v. Regents of the University of California will likely decide the face of the DACA program and that opinion is expected in weeks.
If you have read an article on DACA recently, it is likely that it was a one-dimensional piece featuring some DACA recipient working in healthcare who is facing a loss of employment.
At the same time, you would have more luck looking for a unicorn than you would looking for an article in the nation's elite media that analyzes the legal issues before the Supreme Court or makes any mention of the legal costs of DACA.
One of those costs is the protection for American workers. In the unlikely event that the Supreme Court holds DACA is lawful, it would mean that the process of using regulations to nullify the protections in the immigration system for American workers is also lawful and that it can continue as well. So when business groups do not like some protection for American workers, they can go to DHS to get a regulation allowing them to hire foreign workers without applying that protection.
You would never know it from reading the newspapers, but DACA was not alone. Other examples from the Obama administration include DAPA, H-4 EADs, and an expanded OPT program.
Judge Kathleen M. Williams of the Southern District of Florida served up another DACA-related kick in the teeth to American workers. Up until now, it had been considered settled law that "United States workers" (citizens, nationals, permanent residents, refugees, and asylees) were the protected labor class under immigration law. A patriotic employer could hire exclusively U.S. workers and refuse to hire others.
Procter & Gamble followed the established discrimination rules that allow preference for U.S. workers. For their internship program, they required the applicant to be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee. But no good deed goes unpunished.
An illegal alien on DACA applied for the P&G internships program. P&G rejected him out of hand because he was not a U.S. worker and then the illegal alien sued for discrimination and the court held he had a cause of action.
According to Judge Williams, American companies can now be sued for preferring to hire U.S. workers.
The cost of DACA keeps rising. Unless this gets reversed on appeal, another protection for working Americans bites the dust thanks to DACA.

And, they have access then to a lot of sensitive personal information and doubtless U.S. government and corporate information. They could take over the U.S. through created viruses, trojans, etc. WHY would we want to put ourselves in such a vulnerable position? Stupid is as stupid does.

This is stupid.
I speak as an American in Canada who at times finds the Canadian requirement that ties go to the Canadian (or permanent resident) annoying because the U.S. provides a large pool of candidates, and the best qualified person is often a yank—but one has to make the argument.
It’s extra work, but that is how it should be done.
Plan your future appropriately.
Judge Kathleen M. Williams is exactly the type of person the mob is going to utterly destroy in the street.
*shrug*
Almost a year to the day after Dan Crenshaw announced his support of a “sell out American workers” plan. With Republicans like him, Democrats are basically redundant.
Of course, the courts are the fast track to what the Left cannot get done through the political process. Congress can fix this decision. Oh, but we don’t have the House anymore because of people like Paul Ryan. At least we still have the Senate where we can replace federal judges after a few decades of their damage.
This sounds like the kind of thing that would make a good campaign issue. Anyone other than President Trump and the voters willing to talk about it?
They could take over Walmart in minutes. About 80% or more of the IT staff at Walmart is Indian now. An American cant get a computer job at Walmart anymore. It went critical in the last year.
When I worked for bank of America, on their mortgage processing systems, back around 2010. I could shut down that baby with 1 SQL statement for many hours. It would take that long to restore it from backups. If I worked on it for a few days, I could incrementally mess up the backups and cause utter havoc for weeks. But it never occurred to me to do this because I would never want to hurt so many of my fellow countrymen. Is there any precedent for this?
No that’s as it should be. It should go person who was born and lived their entire life in the United States as a loyal citizen. How can anybody not get that?
*** the Indians. You think their first loyalty is to the United States? You can’t be that much of a sucker.
it also lowers wages and is dangerous to the country. But let’s not let those to get in the way

This sends the message that nobody already within our borders will be deported; the DACA are here to stay. Who would invest any time in training an employee if they could be sent home to another country any day?
The messages here are: They’ll never be sent home, and tough sh!t for American workers.
Many millions of tail-end Boomers are about to retire. A whole lot of them are quietly keeping many things purring along.
We’ll see how the imports, women, Xers and Millennials do when they’re all gone from work...
Same here in NC!!! If it wasn’t for the budget impass there would still be 100s here!
The label “Made in the USA’ means nothing.

I’m with ya. Anyway you look at it we’re hooped.
