Texas and 6 other states sue to end DACA
« on: May 01, 2018, 10:13:37 pm »
By Emma Platoff The Texas Tribune May 01, 2018

Following through on a months-old promise, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit Tuesday to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, leading a seven-state coalition against an Obama-era immigration measure that protects hundreds of thousands of immigrants nationwide from deportation, including more than 120,000 in Texas.

Paxton first threatened in June 2017 to sue over the program if President Donald Trump’s administration had not ended it by September. After federal court rulings blocked the Trump administration's efforts to end the program, Paxton wrote in January that he would consider filing suit if DACA still stood in June.

But a recent ruling in favor of DACA seems to have shifted up Paxton’s timeline. The announcement comes exactly a week after a federal judge in Washington, D.C. ordered the Trump administration to continue the program and reopen it to new applicants.

Texas files suit to end Obama’s unconstitutional DACA program

Texas files suit to end Obama’s unconstitutional DACA program


Wednesday, May 02, 2018 by JD Heyes


One of the campaign issues that likely contributed the most to President Donald J. Trump’s election victory in 2016 was his pledge to fully enforce all immigration laws and to end a program enacted by his predecessor without authority and without congressional approval.

The Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, came into being via an executive order signed by President Barack Obama after he repeatedly claimed during his 2012 reelection bid that he didn’t have the authority, as president, to change immigration statutes.

True to form, Obama wasn’t being honest. So in 2014 he waved his magic presidential pen and granted amnesty to millions of people brought illegally into the United States.

Also true to form, Trump signed an order ending the program in the fall of last year, giving Congress six months to come up with a legislative fix. Congress failed, largely because Democrats who always say they are ‘for immigrants’ refused to cooperate with Republicans.

Not to be deterred by the rule of law, Left-wing groups then took to courts to stop the president from undoing what a previous president never had the authority to do in the first place.

Fed up, Texas has had enough of the games.

On Tuesday the Lone Start State led a coalition of other states in a lawsuit that directly challenges the legality of DACA, “opening up a new legal front in the increasingly messy battle over illegal immigration,” The Washington Times reports.

Thank you TX!  How many other states are going to have the backbone to follow and do the same?

Texas is actually leading a coalition of states:

Texas is joined in its suit by Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, South Carolina, and West Virginia. They argue that unlike federal courts that have blocked Trump from ending the program because he ‘cut too many legal corners’ in doing so, the original Obama executive order actually did that.

Although I applaud Texas adopting this stance, what I do not like is to throw decisions into the courts.

The federal govt has every right, and in fact an OBLIGATION to adhere to federal laws and do away with an obvious illegal Executive Order.

This should just be done by EO reversal, and ignore any court that says otherwise.

But if the Federal Government won't act...which seems to be the issue right now...why shouldn't the states take action like they are doing in this instance?

If it is the only course of action, then of course they need to take it up.

My point is it should not be necessary and I believe destructive to continue throwing matters like this before judges.  It makes judicial appear to be the ultimate authority when it was never envisioned that way be the Constitution's writers.

Push this upward towards the Supreme Court.

But don't be pushin' too fast... looks like the rumors of Anthony Kennedy's retirement are a-risin' again.

If so, hopefully Mr. Trump will make a good pick for his replacement.
Get him "pushed through" for a fall seating.
THEN get the daca argument into the Court...
