Obama to seek emergency order restarting immigration programs

The Obama administration will seek an emergency court order to move forward with President Obama’s executive action on immigration.

Officials at the Department of Justice (DOJ) plan to seek what is known as an emergency stay that would essentially undo a Texas-based federal judge's injunction from earlier this week. If the stay is granted, the government could restart a pair of executive programs that will shield millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said DOJ will file for the stay by "Monday at the latest."

The emergency stay had been sought by immigrant rights advocates, who want to get the programs up and running as soon as possible while the appeals process plays out.

"We — as immigrants and as Americans — have waited for nearly a quarter century for these much-needed improvements to our broken immigration system," Marielena Hincapié, head of the National Immigration Law Center (NILC), said Friday in a statement. "We should not allow a flawed legal decision to delay these changes any longer.”

Making good on earlier vows, DOJ will also file a separate appeal seeking to restart the executive programs.

Amazing that our administration now openly works to destroy our borders and invite illegals to 'Come on Down!'.

And nobody can figure out a way to stop it.  My, my...

If they go to the 5th Circuit for it they are wasting their time!

The problem is, powerful people want open borders, or it wouldn't happen.

Your right and they are banking that there are more anti-law and order people than there are pro-law and order.
This is not going to end well I am afraid.
