Obama halts immigration amnesty push in court, bows to incoming Trump administration
The Washington Times ^ | November 18, 2016 | Stephen Dinan

The administration has already taken the first step to accommodate President-elect Trump’s positions, agreeing Friday to take a timeout on President Obama’s push to kick-start his 2014 deportation amnesty.

In documents filed with a federal judge in Texas the Justice Department said that in light of the new management that will take over next year, the case should be suspended.

“Accordingly, the parties respectfully submit that further proceedings on the merits of this case, including the submission of a schedule for resolving the merits, should be stayed until February 20, 2017,” the Justice Department and lawyers for Texas said in a joint request of Judge Andrew S. Hanen.

Judge Hanen had halted Mr. Obama’s expanded amnesty in February 2015, just two days before it was to go into effect, ruling that the administration broke administrative law. An appeals court twice upheld his injunction, as did the Supreme Court, in a 4-4 deadlock decision this summer.

The injunction remains in place while Judge Hanen was to hear full arguments — but both sides now say President-elect Trump should have the chance to weigh in.

No matter what polls, pundits, media or politicians will bleat to you, the majority of Americans in this country want illegals stopped and the ones here already checked out comprehensively for value added and possible criminality.

Looks to me as if the Texas judge halted it, not Obama. Could be Obama is just claiming credit for his legacy.

Yea, that's the word goin’ round. We shall see.

Perhaps obozo is so shell shocked that they didn't steal enough to deliver the election to the hildaBEAST that they're all not doing what evil they would otherwise...

pardon is kinda pointless. Pardon only effect past crimes, not ongoing ones

On the other hand, Obama’s Homeland Security shut down the surveillance that catches illegals and drug runners across the Mexican border.

Our Terrorist in Chief has already suspended the helicopter patrols and taken hundreds of BP off large areas of the border just in the past few days. He’s put out the welcome mat for our enemies.

This court thing is nothing but him throwing out a bone to the gullibles.

Who is he kidding.....The courts told him to stick it...

Same thing with TPP....Schumer said it was dead last week....and Hillary finally came out as being against TPP after calling it the Gold Standard. AND she came out as being for a wall...AND stringent standards for immigrants.

Wonder if money was given to Hillary....conditionally...on her winning.
