Why didn't the 5th circuit judge who was in favor of staying the injunction say "If the POTUS were to simply add this to the registry, it would likely resolve the entire issue and everybody could go home"?
You guys are making it sound like Obama's sole reason for pursuing this case is he doesn't want to eat the Republican's shit and or this is some sort of conspiracy to NOT get it done. That sounds like crazy talk to me. I'm not a lawyer but neither is anybody else here.

Nonetheless going back to basic critical thinking, there are three measures to weight an argument: ethos, pathos and logos. That is credibility, emotion and logic.
It is not a little thing to be or have been the president of the American Association of Lawyers. Being a member of AILA is the basic rule of thumb most organizations teach humble ppl to look for when looking for an immigration lawyer. Sometimes news article from some John Two Cents are posted demonizing one immigrant to use as an excuse to deny everyone else. And every one jumps into that bandwagon without considering who is telling the story and whether it is a credible source to begin with.
Being an activist lawyer is not the same thing as an immigration lawyer. One is more concerned with policy and the one about implementing it. I wasn't aware this is what it took to implement DACA. I though it was welcomed with open arms, a mule and four acres. Probably most immigration lawyers aren't aware either. They don't have the time to know how it got there, only how can they use it properly for their clients.
Why most organizations are not jumping into this? They probably are but they are not expressing this views to us, they are going directly with their contacts in the White House to express some comments. Having a Republican in any seat affects them too.
In something completely unrelated but I hope it helps. The Modern Supply and Demand graph has an employment line. It is very easy to see it and say, oh, it moved to the left one point and that's interesting. Just remember, those are thousands of ppl losing their jobs. That is creating suffering and pain. It is very easy to objectify people even by activists who are on our side. I dunno. I feel like I'm rambling at this point, so I'm gonna stop.
