HOUSTON — A federal judge in South Texas on Monday temporarily blocked President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration, giving a coalition of 26 states time to pursue a lawsuit that aims to permanently stop the orders.


U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen's decision comes after a hearing in Brownsville, Texas, in January and puts on hold Obama's orders that could spare as many as five million people who are in the U.S. illegally from deportation.


Hanen wrote in a memorandum accompanying his order that the lawsuit should go forward and that without a preliminary injunction the states will "suffer irreparable harm in this case."

'There Will Be No Amnesty'; Go Home, Then Apply
September 1, 2016 | "There will be no amnesty," Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told a gathering in Phoenix on Wednesday night as he delivered a major policy address on immigration.


"For those here today illegally who are seeking legal status, they will have one route and only one route: to return home and apply for re-entry under the rules of the new legal immigration system that I have outlined...Those who have left to seek entry under this new system will not be awarded surplus visas, but will have to enter under the immigration caps or limits that will be established." Trump said his message to the world is, "you cannot obtain legal status, or become a citizen of the United States, by illegally entering our country. "This declaration alone will help stop the crisis of illegal crossings and illegal overstays. People will know that you can’t just smuggle in, hunker down, and wait to be legalized. It's not going to work that way. Those days are over."

Trump said the "appropriate disposition" of illegal immigrants already in the country will have to wait a while. "In several years, when we have accomplished all of our enforcement goals -- and truly ended illegal immigration for good, including the construction of a great wall, and the establishment of our new lawful immigration system -- then and only then will we be in a position to consider the appropriate disposition of those who remain. "That discussion can only take place in an atmosphere in which illegal immigration is a memory of the past, allowing us to weigh the different options available based on the new circumstances at the time. "Right now, however, we are in the middle of a jobs crisis, a border crisis, and a terrorism crisis. All energies of the federal government and the legislative process must now be focused on immigration security. That is the only conversation we should be having at this time. "Whether it’s dangerous materials being smuggled across the border, terrorists entering on visas, or Americans losing their jobs to foreign workers, these are the problems we must now focus on fixing."

Trump said he would add 5,000 more Border Patrol agents and triple the number of ICE deportation officers. "Within ICE, I am going to create a new special Deportation Task Force, focused on identifying and removing quickly the most dangerous criminal illegal immigrants in America who have evaded justice." He also promised to enforce "all immigration laws." "Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation – that is what it means to have laws and to have a country," he said.

Trump further said his enforcement priorities will include "criminals, gang members, security threats, visa overstays, public charges – that is, those relying on public welfare or straining the safety net, along with millions of recent illegal arrivals and overstays who’ve come here under the current Administration." Trump described his opponent as a "radical amnesty" proponent who will allow the entry of "millions more illegal immigrants, thousands more violent crimes, and total chaos and lawlessness."

The Obama Administration will probably ignore this stupid injunction.

If the President ignores it, he should be arrested.

[Beevee]

I don't know why America needs a President. Nobody takes any notice of them.

I'm sure Trump will put a stop to that, in the unlikely event he enters the newly named Trump House.

[Cletus]

I don't know why America needs a President. Nobody takes any notice of them.

Do you think the President should be above the law?

[decedent]

If the President ignores it, he should be arrested.

Obama has authority over a federal judge. He's ignored injunctions from activist judges before.

Obama has authority over a federal judge.

Uh... no, he doesn't.


He's ignored injunctions from activist judges before.

He should have been arrested.

[Cletus]

We really need to get around to annexing Canada. It is a shame to let it go to waste.

No he does not have the authority over a federal judge. If he chooses to ignore it, then he is in contempt of court and should be treated as such.

The President is not give special rights and privileges. Though the Democrats usually try to make it that way.

Anyone Suggesting that the President is above the law, should go back and re take Civics.

Careful Mac, I suspect that some of the Canadians here would do far better on a US history and government exam than you. :wink:

Common law is guided by the regulations created by federal or state statutes. Judges -- activist or not -- are not legislators.

Much of what you "know" is simply wrong. Have you ever considered reading the US Constitution?

[MisterVeritis]

Uh... no, he doesn't.

He should have been arrested.
He should have been found in contempt. Then impeached.

[MisterVeritis]

You like all of the hard left don't have a clue as to what the Constitution and rule of law means.

Is this act trolling or are you quite simply ignorant?

[zelmo1234]

Common law is guided by the regulations created by federal or state statutes. Judges -- activist or not -- are not legislators.

And Yet they are the ones that hold the other 2 branches accountable to the constitution .

Separate but Equal and all that. We have no King in this country, no matter how hard the left tries to make Obama one.

[zelmo1234]

Much of what you "know" is simply wrong. Have you ever considered reading the US Constitution?

Well you know it is 4 pages long? Where is someone going to find that kind of time????

[zelmo1234]

It is no wonder our politicians get away with this crap.

Nobody knows what the constitution says anymore.
