    With Immigration Injunction Texas Judge Condemns Millions to Continued Life in Shadow

    Posted: 02/22/2015 12:46 pm EST Updated: 02/22/2015 1:59 pm EST



    A mere two days before the expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was set to begin accepting applications from individuals newly eligible for its protections under the President's executive orders on immigration, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen of Texas blocked those orders from taking effect. Judge Hanen defended his decision by genuflecting to those parties who have sued the Obama Administration over Constitutional legitimacy of the executive order, arguing that the DACA and DAPA (Deferred Action for Parental Accountability) programs cannot be implemented while that lawsuit remains unresolved.


    We would like to remind Judge Hanen that prominent legal scholars have described the President's executive actions as lawful. It makes sense to implement prosecutorial discretion in this case -- to focus immigration enforcement resources on those who pose a threat to public safety, rather than hard-working individuals who have lived in America for years and are simply trying to provide a better life for their families.


    While Judge Hanen has put these legitimate initiatives on hold for the benefit of those groups suing the administration, millions of otherwise law-abiding persons, the vast majority of whom are Latino, will be forced to remain living in the margins of our society -- without the protection of the law, without full integration into the communities that they've frequently been living in for years already, and without a chance to pursue their dreams as aspiring Americans.


    As our partners at the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) have reported, administrative relief isn't an abstract political question for Latino families. One local leader described the effects of the DACA and DAPA programs as being transformative, across the community: "Young employees who now don't have to worry that their parents will be deported. Individuals who are being seen in our mental health unit with traumatic stress disorder because they are constantly fearful of being caught and separated from their children. Children who now don't have to carry a plan with them describing what to do if their parents are deported. Victims of domestic violence or children that are abducted by a parent no longer have to suffer in silence because they fear being deported." Clearly, the President's executive orders bring a profound level of change for many Latino families.


    Judge Hanen isn't just hurting Latino families -- he's also blocking smart policy that would help boost tax revenues, give the economy a shot in the arm, and improve the financial standing of key social programs. A recent Senate hearing found that the President's executive actions would increase national GDP by .15 percent by 2024, add the incomes of nearly a million more workers to payroll tax revenues, and reduce the Social Security deficit, among other long-term positive benefits. There's no valid reason not to let these programs go forward -- only political scheming and posturing can explain why DACA and DAPA have been put on hold.


    All is not lost, however. Similar suits against President's executive orders have already been dismissed by federal courts, attorney generals from 12 states and Washington, D.C. have filed legal briefs in support of the President's actions, and Judge Hanen has a record of severe anti-immigration reform positions. When the smoke clears from this latest political attack against the Obama administration, we are confident that millions of qualified individuals will be able to obtain administrative relief.


    With his last-minute decision, Judge Hanen has blocked nearly 5 million aspiring Americans from getting right with the law, working and paying taxes, and living free from the constant fear of deportation and separation from their families.

    It's almost impossible to live here for years as an illegal and be considered a "law-abiding person." The majority of these folks drive without a driver's license and insurance, use fake and stolen social security numbers, lie on job applications, etc., etc.

    You're so right, and trust me they aren't just living on their low wages and welfare. Have you seen these people's vehicles and food carts? Holy Moly, they're loaded, and that's not from low wages and welfare. They work by day as a cover and run drugs by night. This whole illegal immigration scam is just part of the cartels plan to secure their drug trade, get the drugs in and distributed, and haul the money out.

    I don't think most Americans understand the size of the recreational drug business, it's $240 billion a year just over the Southern Border, plus at least another $60 billion through the ports. This is a gigantic industry, all foreign cartel controlled that to function must have millions and millions of workers and runners and collectors and distributors and processors and cutters, and on and on and on to bring in the dough.

    The $240 billion figure is one I found in a Congressional report, named "The Southwest Border, A Line in the Sand". This same report said that based on apprehension rates, there were between 2 million and 5 million illegal aliens that came into the US through the Southern Border every year. It received no publicity, but it was posted somewhere and it popped up on my Internet search. That report is one of the reasons I became a supporter to end the War on Drugs and legalize the whole trade, confine it to domestic trade only, no imports, and require only US citizens run and operate any aspect of it.

    Regulate the mix, control the ages for sales, as well as the quality and quantity sold, tax it under the FairTax and use a portion to better educate the public about the risks and consequences of using drugs and provide free rehab on demand for anyone who wants or needs it, then be done with it and stop worrying about it.

    Is there anybody on the planet who does not have a sob story that justifies their sneaking in to the United States and undercutting Americans for jobs? And they've been getting away with it for so long that they may actually believe that they are creating a public benefit.

    Well, Americans may believe that it would benefit them a lot more if they could get a decent job. At the moment even our STEM graduates are having difficulty getting jobs in their fields, probably because foreign firms are lying on the H-1B visa applications. Most of the Indians, for example, who receive these visa have no special skills. In fact employers - Southern California Edison for example - are requiring their employees to actually train their replacements, before the employees are fired.

    Illegal aliens must leave the country, not continue living in the "shadow". They must go home and be in the light of their own country, enjoy their culture, and native landscapes, seasides, forests, and figure out how to make a living there. It's their problem, not ours, to solve. Our only responsibility with respect to them, is to deport them.
