113 Congressional Republicans Voice Support For Lawsuit Challenging Obama's Immigration Actions

Congressional Republicans have joined the legal battle over President Barack Obama’s executive action on immigration, which he announced late last year.

Currently, 26 states have challenged the president’s executive order, which temporarily stops deportations and grants work permits to specific groups of immigrants living in the country illegally.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, and Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte of Virginia filed an amicus brief with the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans to counter the executive actions.

“Congress has created a comprehensive immigration scheme — which expresses its desired policy as to classes of immigrants — but the class identified by the (Homeland Security Department) directive for categorical relief is unsupported by this scheme,” the lawmakers wrote in their brief. “Instead of setting enforcement policies, it created a class-based program that establishes eligibility requirements that, if met, grant unlawful immigrants a renewable lawful presence in the United States and substantive benefits.”

So far, 113 congressional Republicans have endorsed the brief, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, The Hill reported.

In a statement released on May 11, Cruz said, “The president has unlawfully granted amnesty to millions who came here illegally.”

In response to the lawmakers’ actions, the White House released a statement: “Though these individuals and groups come from different backgrounds and perspectives, they’re all in agreement that (the) president’s actions are good for public safety and good for the economy.”

The court case centers on Obama’s two previous executive actions which has granted rights to nearly 4 millions immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.

The first, titled the Deferred Action for Parent Accountability program, halts deportations and gives work permits to the parents or guardians of American citizens and those who are legal residents. The second, called the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, is the initial concept of DAPA and would assist millions of immigrant children who were brought to the United States illegally by their parents.

Previously, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen of Texas agreed with the states by allowing the case to continue and blocking the programs the president tried to put in place without the approval of Congress.

To best understand what is going on, we need to call this what it is......Obama facilitating an invasion of foreigners seeking to over throw the US govt. The ding-a-ling in the WH recognizes no laws---he considers our laws to be a plot by evil white men to suppress "people of pallor."

Here, Obama reveals himself, taking his America hatred to new heights .......he is in collusion w/ Third World govts.....financing and facilitating the overthrow.

BACKSTORY In a major suck-up to illegals, Obama "announced" he was issuing an E/O and planned a "signing ceremony" at a LV gathering of illegals.

E/O and signing ceremony never happened. Obama was photoed signing "memos" on AF One. Not an "executive action." Why? B/c an E/O comes w/ legal baggage that the conniving Boobamba wanted to evade. Both "memos" are now on the Whitehouse website.

====================================================

The first of Obama's presidential action memos is entitled: “Creating Welcoming Communities Fully Integrating Immigrants and Refugees,” filed Nov. 26 in the Federal Register at Vol. 79, No. 228, (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-11-26/html/2014-28191.htm).

In the category “Presidential Documents” at page 70769, Obama ordered a White House Task Force on New Americans to “engage with community, business, and faith leaders, as well as State and local elected officials.” The task force is designed to “help determine additional steps the Federal Government can take to ensure its programs and policies are serving diverse communities that include new Americans.”

The second of the presidential actions entitled, “Modernizing and Streamlining the U.S. Immigration Visa System for the 21st Century,” filed Nov. 26 in the Federal Register at Vol. 79, No. 228, in the category “Presidential Documents” at page 70765 (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-11-26/html/2014-28191.htm).

This empowered the secretaries of State and Homeland Securityin consultation with the director of the Office of Management and Budget, the director of the National Economic Council, the assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, the director of the Domestic Policy Council, the director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the attorney general, and the secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Labor and Education.

The order was to make a series of recommendations “to reduce government costs, improve services for applicants, reduce burdens on employers, and combat waste, fraud, and abuse in the system” of issuing immigrant and non-immigrant visas.

====================================================

The scam works this way: signed Boobamba memos "delegate" to federal agencies orders to come up with plans (that must advance Boobamba's global conspiracy to overthrow the US govt w/ Third World federales and their cadres jumping the US border).

The federal agencies then "invent" Committees to do this (the better to overthrow the US govt). Then "Administrative Rules," after a comment period, will be published in the "Code of Federal Regulations," which magically turns them into law........ using federal fairy dust.

So Boobamba is shielded from responsibility---he doesn't have to take the hit. Behind closed doors, he tells federal factotums what he wants.....and faster than you can say "the combo plate w/ extra hot sauce".....the overthrow of the US govt commences.

=====================================================

THE "DELEGATION" HORROR STORY--A Federal agency MO since 1946. It's down to a science: (1) publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), (2) make the comment period really short, (3) stonewall any negative comments, and, (4) publish the rule, which (5) NOW has the force of US law. No Congressman was ever involved, and Boobamba doesn't leave his DNA on it. Yet again, why "Delegation" is ominous for liberty---why the writing of administrative law by federal agencies - is un-Constitutional (hat tip to FReeper Regulator.)
