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.
20% of the year round population on marthAs vineyard are Brazilian. My guess is that 1/2 of them are undocumented. The year round islanders earn 30% less than the MA average.
When the 50? DeDantis arrived the whole island pitched in to feed them. The highschool gave the day off to Spanish language students to serve as interpreters and the islands restaurant cooked free meals for them.the next day they went to Cape Cod to
An air base where the stage had shelters for them
About 12? Of the original trafficked eventually moved back to the island. Because they had been tricked into boarding the planes with promises of jobs and housing all were given the coveted U class visa as victims of traffickers
The cost of the 2 chartered planes came to $50,000 paid to a company owned by a major donor to DeSantis
M has a foreign born population of 18% which would rank it #5 of all states in foreign born population percentage
Immigrants go there because as a blue state it is kind to all, usually tanks #2 in highest income, and has best schools
Anyone interested in learning more could do searches on either of the 2 local newspapers The Marthas Vineyard Gazette or the Marthas Vineyard Times
I lived there from 93 to 2001
The only plan these illegals need to have for their futures is to figure out how to go back to their countries of origin.
Lol
This happened Sept 2022 almost 4 years ago. They probably all have green cards now and will be eligible for citizenship in 15 months. ????

The 50 Venezuelans were not compelled to leave they voluntarily boarded the busses.Thy stayed at the Air Force base 3 weeks. They left to Boston for better housing and job opportunities. Apparently Teach was misinformed by his news sources.There were no national guard activated and on the island. No round up.they spent 1 night in a church. The right-wing has zero shame about lying .
Looks like taxpayers have provided johnnie boy with a new laptop.
