Trump pushes on with immigration crackdown despite legal hurdles
Yahoo News, Jul 22, 2019, Reuters

 U.S. President Donald Trump's administration pushed ahead with its attempts to crack down on migration at the southern border on Monday, defending in court a virtual ban it imposed on asylum seekers and issuing its second sweeping order within a week.

A U.S. district judge in Washington heard arguments about whether to temporarily strike down the first new rule, which is designed to bar almost all immigrants from applying for asylum at the country's southern border.

The Trump administration unveiled the rule a week ago as part of an effort to end what it has called fraudulent asylum claims from an increasing number of migrants, mainly from the impoverished and violence-plagued Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, who pass through Mexico on their way to the United States.

Judge Timothy Kelly in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia withheld ruling on whether to issue a temporary restraining order to block the rule on asylum seekers pending a trial, saying he would make that decision soon.

Justice Department lawyer Scott Stewart told the judge that a temporary restraining order would prompt a dangerous surge on the border from migrants seeking to get into the United States while the case was being heard.

"For the past two and half years there has been one attack after another on immigrants but the pace has increased beyond anything we have seen just in the past few weeks," said Lee Gelernt, deputy director of the ACLU's Immigrants Rights Project.

Just imagine how the regulations will increase if the courts rule in Trump's favor. Maybe the country can be saved from the open borders crowd.

I think the President has earned high credit for constantly maneuvering around the Socialist-Democrats and their judges.

It must be the goal-oriented businessman in him, I doubt any current politician would be so relentless.
