A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from denying asylum to migrants who illegally cross into the United States, saying the policy likely violated federal law on asylum eligibility.

The judge pointedly denied the claim that the president, by fiat, could give the manner of entry added legal weight as a determinant of asylum. He reasoned that the

I’m just going to say very directly: it’s time for Trump to take radical action, ignore Judge rulings, mandate the troops seal the border and dare Congress to impeach him.

Did the judge cite the exact language in the law where Congress expressly forbids what Trump has done?

I haven't read his ruling but he probably at least referenced it.

"Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United Stateswaters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum..."

Citing the United Nations in his ruling, the judge just disqualified himself from being heard on the case.

Foreign entities have no standing in our immigration policies at all.

This is an unConsitutional ruling.

Just ignore the Judge. You can’t use UN bullcrap as authority to take jurisdiction where you have none. Ignore it. Go on TV and tell everyone the judge needs medicine.

Two can play this game. Trump needs to issue an executive order finding the judge in violation of the constitution and the separations clause. Then executively voiding the judges decision. Possibly even declaring the judge guilty of treason.

We are talking about an invasion here. Trump has the power to keep them out.

Take it to the USSC, Donald.

He already did. Trump vs Hawaii, which he won in June of this year.

Can't President Trump just ignore this idiotic ruling that doesn't even have any basis in law?

He should, considering the fact that this issue was already litigated all the way to the Supreme Court, which decided in the President's favor in June of this year. Trump vs Hawaii.

It will be a continuing game until it hits SCOTUS.

It already hit the Supreme Court. Trump vs Hawaii, which was decided in the President's favor in June of this year.

This is only a temporary injunction. Let it go to SCOTUS.

It already did. Trump vs Hawaii, which was decided in the President's favor in June of this year.

How many times does the administration have to litigate the same thing?

Hundreds of Tons of Concertina needs to wrap that border.

No one should get through. Not any more, party’s over.

We need to ‘Go and Fund the Wall’ at the expense of the charities (Catholic, Luthern, and all the rest) that profit from trafficking invaders in our country.

Federal judge? F-ing ignore him. Obama did it constantly. He ignored rulings on this very topic that ruled his asylum DACA was illegal.

Just say two courts are in conflict and do what you want.

“How does Marbury v. Madison encompass this?”

Even Marbury vs Madison was a power grab for powers not listed in the Constitution.

The separation of powers needs to be enforced by unilateral declaration of the President. Going to the USSC is accepting that judges have the right to overrule the CIC on issues of national security. They do not, and should not be asked for permission.

This ruling is unconstitutional on so many levels.

First, if illegal entrants can enter anywhere along the border, this makes ANYBODY along the border accountable for receiving asylum seekers. These people are NOT authorized by Congress to receive these people.

Second, the Supreme Court ruled that Arizona's SB1070 was an unconstitutional usurpation of federal powers belonging to Congress. Now, this judge is ruling that state authorities MUST accept illegal entrant asylum seekers? This goes against the SCOTUS ruling against Arizona.

Third, if state authorities are barred by SCOTUS to enforce immigration laws (including granting asylum, receiving asylum seekers, or even turning back asylum seekers), then the states will be forced to catch and release these illegal entrants, which is what the Left wants.

What we have is a district court judge overruling the Supreme Court on its ruling against Arizona's SB1070. The judge's restraining order should be overturned by SCOTUS immediately.

I believe Trump v Hawaii had to a ban on a specific race/religion. The current case is specific to asylum seekers. As the law provides now, all anyone has to do it touch US soil and they cannot be immediately deported, but have to have a hearing to see if they qualify for asylum. Trump wants to make it where they have to come through a port of entry. I don’t like the law, and I think he’ll (we’ll) prevail in front of SCOTUS, but ultimately this has to be fixed by Congress, which if SCOTUS upholds what the President is asking for, perhaps Congress will get off their a*s and fix it.

“According to Allan Derschowitz...”

Dershowshitz is FOS. He’s a g-damn leftist. A gas-lighter. A liar.

The courts have no jurisdiction with immigration and border security. These a$$hole judges need to be ignored or better yet rounded up and sent to gitmo in the dead of the night.
