Law scholars urge Trump to keep program for young immigrants
 
A group of legal scholars is urging President Donald Trump to keep a program protecting hundreds of thousands of young immigrants from deportation and is outlining a legal argument to maintain it.

Around 100 law professors and immigration attorneys are scheduled Monday to send Trump an open letter arguing the president has the legal authority to preserve the Obama administration program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA.

Michael Olivas, a law professor at the University of Houston Law Center and Santa Fe, New Mexico, resident, told The Associated Press the letter details why the program, which has helped around 750,000 immigrants, is legal.

"It's a very successful program, and we layout the legality," said Olivas, one of the authors of the letter. "It is not unconstitutional as some have suggested."

Federal courts have ruled the president can use "prosecutorial discretion" to give certain immigrants, like these young migrants, temporary protective status, the scholars said.

This part of the letter was interesting:

Quote:
At tension with the aforementioned body of law is a letter sent by ten state Attorneys General to the administration requesting that DACA 2012 be rescinded.21 This letter refers to DACA 2012 as “unlawful” and does so without citing to the foundational legal authorities behind deferred action. Furthermore, the letter conflates deferred action, “lawful presence” and work authorization in ways that are legally unsound and unclear. Finally, the letter itself shoehorns arguments into Texas v. United States, a lawsuit that never included the core of DACA 2012, and instead involved policies that are at this point in time moot.22 Moreover, a previous lawsuit challenging DACA 2012 failed on jurisdictional grounds and would inevitably inform any future challenge.23

Here's a copy of the full letter if anyone wants to read it:

I don't know if he'd be willing to listen to scholars. He seems to only make it his way or the highway. Hopefully he does though. After he got told to condemn the white supremacist movement he did so hopefully the same goes f0r DACA

Nonetheless good to have these ppl backing us up.

From the letter:

Quote:
The legal authority for the Executive Branch to operate DACA 2012 is crystal clear
I was deeply moved going through the list of all those scholars endorsing the letter at the end.

Your compadre was just banned. Sad! I could not find your post as to WHY you curse, but I'd tame it down and stop calling people names. We are not stupid nor animals. Express your views in a civil way.

Most likely 2Face was temporarily banned. He'll be back.

Stop arguing! Stay on topic! This is an important thread that is being continually derailed.
