This could have been one of the biggest weeks for immigrant rights in modern history, opening up sweeping deportation relief and extending a temporary legal status to millions of undocumented immigrants nationwide.
Instead, they will have to continue waiting – but it won’t be quietly.
Rallies are scheduled across the country on Tuesday as advocacy groups protest what would have marked the unofficial kick-off date to President Obama’s second – and most sweeping – executive action program on immigration. Known as DAPA, the executive measure would have benefited as many as 3.7 million undocumented immigrant adults who have children born in the U.S. or are legal permanent residents.
Implementation plans, however, hit a snag after a federal judge in Texas placed a preliminary injunction on the executive measures, temporarily freezing the application process while a lawsuit brought by Texas and 25 other states plays out through the courts. The judge’s order came just days before the so-called DACA expansion program benefiting young undocumented immigrants was supposed to launch. Now, exactly three months later, the fate of the programs are still unknown, leaving several more months to a year before the matter will be solved through the courts.
Immigrant youth and family affected by the court delays are expected to demonstrate on the steps of state capitals Tuesday where leaders have signed onto the lawsuit. “If our state leaders are going to take actions that affect real people in Ohio, they need to hear about the consequences for families, children, and taxpayers,” said Lynn Tramonte, the organizer of Ohio’s Voice....

The headline left out the word illegal before the word immigrant, so I quit reading right there.
It’s PMSNBC. Don’t give them web hits.
Why don’t you both step up to the plate and start.
Mistitled.
Should read,”Illegal Immigrant Special Dispensations”.
This could have been one of the biggest weeks for immigrant rights in modern history...
If I was editing the piece, I would substitute in “Illegal Squatter”
I don’t think they are talking about immigrants. Immigrants apply to be Americans, wait their turn and get proper documentation. Therefore they have rights.
Fraudulently documented foreigners are illegal aliens and have the right to be deported.
The right to commit crimes while being paid with money taken from law-abiding citizens, while the fifth-column leftist media scum spew out their Traitorobama lies.
Arrest and deport.
Yup. Knew it would come to this.
“It’s a civil right to invade the United States”
Could anyone imagine illegal aliens rioting in the U.S. to insist that they have a right to stay?
That’s exactly right.
