Wacko Federal Judge Thinks He Has Power To Strike Down Limits On Asylum And Immigration

Place you bets on this unhinged Democrats ruling, which, based on a SCOTUS decision wouldn’t apply outside the judge’s district, and is in the realm of international policy

Federal judge strikes down Trump admin limits on asylum and immigration applications

A federal judge struck down a series of Trump administration policies targeting asylum seekers and immigrants seeking benefits in a scathing court ruling Friday.

Last year, the administration indefinitely suspended asylum adjudications and froze immigration applications for people who fell under the travel ban, among other measures, leaving millions of immigrants in the United States in legal limbo.

Judge John J. McConnell Jr. acknowledged that uncertainty in his 135-page opinion.

“(T)he Challenged Policies placed the lives of countless individuals on hold – solely by virtue of their countries of birth,” wrote McConnell, a nominee of former President Barack Obama. “Over six months later, many of those individuals remain without work, without legal status, and without any meaningful ability to plan for their futures.”

No one asked them to come here illegally, and, um, yeah, they are here illegally in violation of federal law.

Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, an advocacy organization, said in a statement that the ruling “reaffirms a basic principle: the federal government cannot shut down lawful immigration pathways or discriminate against people based on where they come from,”

Um, actually, they can. Immigration has been shut down many times, and the nation has very much at times limited immigration to people who bring benefit. People who are applying for the legal citizenship process have to prove that they can take care of themselves, that they will not be on government services.

DHS General Counsel James Percival blasted Friday’s decision.

“The Left has been running the same gambit with so called ‘animus’ claims since 2017. It is sabotage dressed in legal clothing,” Percival said in a statement. “It goes like this: (1) the admin is racist, (2) therefore a policy I don’t like is motivated by race, (3) therefore it is invalid. They have used it on virtually every Trump era Department of Homeland Security policy.”

Democrats love them some illegals/fake asylum seekers. Except when they show up in their own neighborhoods

Martha’s Vineyard had the National Guard round the 50 Venezuelan illegals up and had them deported in 48 hours.
