Re: Obama Sets Monday Deadline for Appealing Immigration Order

From Reuters
The administration asked Hanen for a stay on his order last month and late on Wednesday requested a decision by Monday.

Hanen on Thursday declined to comment while the case is ongoing.

Hanen, who had previously criticized U.S. immigration enforcement as too lax, based his ruling on an administrative law question, faulting Obama for not giving public notice of his plans. He also cited ways that Texas would be harmed by the action but used no other states as examples.

Anne O'Connell, a professor at University of California Berkeley School of Law, said it is doubtful that Hanen will grant even the partial stay, but said the administration's move appears designed to force Hanen to defend his argument.

"If all the harm is about Texas, it does seem like a bit of overreaching by the judge to keep the preliminary injunction in place everywhere," O'Connell said.

I just find it unfair that people have to uproot their lives and families where many have been for years.

At this point it's better than nothing and its a compromose worth having. By doing this he's forcing their hands because the Republicans will have to answer to those states that are not a part of it come election time. I too will never understand the "burden" Hanen said would be inflicted on these states especially when we're essentially (over)paying our damn selves. Not to mention the billions they instantly obtained when they implemented ID cards and driver's licenses by mandating we had to pay two years of back taxes. I personally had to pay four thousand dollars in back taxes before i could apply for those cards when those cards had a blatant "Not for Federal purposes " stamped on the front like a fuckin' scarlet letter. To turn around and say that obtaining some modicum of dignity would be a "burden" on their states when in actuality it would essentially help them is really a slap in the face.
