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.
So isn’t this an emergency situation?
I wonder how much it costs to “get appointed” to a district court judgeship?
Unless your “wage” is at CEO-level, you don’t earn enough to register as a blip on the radar of either party.

Another Obama appointee POS. When is the SCOTUS going to tell judges they cannot legislate.
I believe we’ve been in an emergency situation for the past 20 years. The problem is getting the right people to react.
Truly evil has DC and its court system become. Any USAians surely must be figuring this out. It isn’t your government; it doesn’t represent USAians.
The whole problem can be fixed by just writing the job description the right way. And with the amount of people that can qualify any more, the job description separates them anyway. Then if it is within the scope of the job people lose qualifications. An example is previous experience for entry level positions. You see that all the time. So if it isn’t legit if it is entry level, then why is it accepted and not questioned. And it certainly is. There are a lot more ways to write a description to disqualify people. This is how employers get what they want...not be finding people, but by disqualifying the ones they don’t want. And the term is “better qualified.”

Who would ever think that by beating Clinton and gaining Trump that America would be dead by the end of the Trump first term? I don’t blame Trump but I will say again, America is now officially dead.
India is not a failed state.
I am to busy tonight to look up the official definition of a “failed state”.
Pretty close!
Loss of control of its territory, or of the monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force therein
Erosion of legitimate authority to make collective decisions
Inability to provide public services
Inability to interact with other states as a full member of the international community
It’s all about the certifications. American workers have to actually earn their IT certifications; whereas The rest of the world can pony up a pittance at a cert mill. In a lot of these places, you can pay to have someone take your exam—the very “qualifications” that deny American workers.
These workers should be required to take the exams here under the same stringent rules that everyone else has.
Trump’s first term was doomed by the REPUBLICANS he beat in the primaries; they obstructed his agenda long enough to lose the House.
He beat BOTH parties to win the White House - and they’ve basically shut him down in return.
