Title: Judge Nap: 'Rare Ruling Against Obama Could Delay Amnesty Forever'

Judge Andrew Napolitano said today that a new federal court ruling could actually delay President Obama's immigration amnesty "forever."

On FBN's "Varney & Co.," the judge explained the meaning behind the new ruling that temporarily blocks the implementation of Obama's executive actions on immigration.

The ruling came late Monday after 26 states asked the court to delay the implementation until after the conclusion of a lawsuit challenging the legality of Obama's orders.

U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen granted the preliminary injunction Monday after hearing arguments in Brownsville, Texas, last month. He wrote in a memorandum accompanying his order that the lawsuit should go forward and that without a preliminary injunction the states will "suffer irreparable harm in this case."

"The genie would be impossible to put back into the bottle," he wrote, adding that he agreed with the plaintiffs' argument that legalizing the presence of millions of people is a "virtually irreversible" action.

The first of Obama's orders -- to expand a program that protects young immigrants from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. illegally as children -- was set to start taking effect Wednesday. The other major part of Obama's order, which extends deportation protections to parents of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have been in the country for some years, was not expected to begin until May 19.

Napolitano called Hanen's ruling "rare," saying one federal judge usually does not decide to stop the president from doing something. He said it's more common for a federal judge to let an appeals court decide.

"You could count on one hand the number of times a single federal judge has done this to a President of the United States since World War II and you would not use all your fingers," he said.

The case now moves to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals that covers New Orleans and Houston.

Napolitano said the amnesty program is on hold "probably forever" unless the appeals court decides to overturn Hanen's injunction.

He said it will probably take longer than two years - Obama's remaining time in office - for the overall case to wind its way through the courts.

"The judge said the feds will probably lose and there is probably irreparable harm to the states, therefore I am going to stop this from happening and I'm going to stop it right now," he explained.

Naturalization has nothing to do with immigration. It has to do with becoming a citizen.

Naturalization has to do with who becoming a citizen? Immigrants! But this isn't even really an immigration issue. It's an illegal migrant issue being passed off on Americans as if it's not.

Re: your assertions about the Guarantee Clause and the States not being protected Federally from invasion.

I'm just going to note quickly here for now that the States are fully empowered to protect themselves from invasion, by force of their Militia arms and even by going to war themselves or in conjunction with other States, if need be, before resorting to a request of any assistance at the Federal level. At that point, violence would already be an issue. However, the Federal branch has been obstructing their abilities to protect themselves so and also to simply enforce their own protective laws.

Edited line 1 and added next to last sentence.

They haven't sought asylum or refugee status.

Nor have they all been released from detention facilities.

So?

There is no Presidential "parole" power in Article II, period.

Irrelevant...the POTUS is the chief executive of laws...Congress, in its exercise of its Article I powers, enacted immigration law that grants immigrants a limited right to be paroled into the US.

A governor cannot mobilize National Guard troops to enforce federal law. A governor or group of governors cannot declare war or mobilize any guard troops under his command to go to war.

Bravo, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen!

I agree. Finally a judge makes a decision that is actually in America's best interest.

Yes they can and the National Guard isn't the entirety of a State's Militia. I wasn't talking about the States enforcing Federal law but their own protective laws, by force of arms if need be. I was also talking about Constitutionality but you're talking about things that violate it as if that's ok and anything goes there that politicos do legislatively. However, that's not even a Republican form of government, such as our Constitution guarantees for us. It's mob rule.

The President is the one who executes the law. In this particular case, the law (Title 8 Section 212.5) allows an agent of the executive branch (which is headed by the POTUS) to parole any alien in to the US and having been granted parole, apply for a work permit.

You mean the President is the one who decides which laws to subvert, which laws to ignore, and which laws he can create -- with a stroke of the pen of course. Pretty cool, eh?

"Parole" assumes a law has already been committed, doesn't it? So how many millions of "paroles" is he handing out like M&Ms? And now by BS technicality (Title 8 Section 212.5) 0bungler is going to circumvent U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 4?:

I think that you have been putting the cart before the horse, so to speak, in your sentence structure about that -- the naturalization process before an immigration process to apply for such, all the steps of which must be Constitutionally lawful. Can you give me an example of Congressional naturalization without immigration other than the Post "Civil War" 14th Amendment to collectively Naturalize freed slaves as U.S. citizens in-general who didn't have State citizenship yet?; which included the same status for all Americans who were citizens of the States.

Congress isn't really authorized to reword or otherwise alter the Article II restricted powers of the Executive branch by passing immigration law.

Article II powers explicitly grant the POTUS executive authority. He "shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed"...by that line, any law that Congress passes that requires an executive agency to administer is, in fact, a legitimate grant of Executive branch power.

This is where the dynamic tension between the Constitution and legislated law is grossly overstated by those on the *right*. A POTUS has INHERENT power to issue orders to his executive agencies. Article II Section II makes that VERY clear. Congress' only real recourse when they disagree with how a law is being executed is in the Courts.

It would take an Amendment, and one in keeping with all of the Constitution, to write the word "parole" into that section.

Article I grants Congress the general power over immigration and naturalization and leaves the manner in which Congress chooses to do this to their own wisdom. No such amendment is necessary.

Read Article I:

It doesn't say that Governors can't call forth their own State Militia's to suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions there and States can call upon other States for help with that. The Federal government can call forth State Militias as those situations pertain to law at the Federal level because America's U.S. Armed Forces aren't supposed to be its law enforcers -- except in disaster or combat zone areas, for instatnce, where the civilian authorities and structures are unable to function properly to uphold the Constutution. Also, to assist our U.S. Armed Forces as needed with repelling invasions for national security purposes. Example: a rogue Governor facilitating invasion through their State borders by not moving to calling upon the State's Militia to stop it. The Federal government is not empowered to remove the ability of States to protect and defend themselves in those situations.

No, that's not what I stated. The Federal branch has failed to adequately guard the borders of our States that comprise our national borders but States certainly can regulate the travels of foreigners through their regions to only lawful Visa holders and such. The Federal government simply has Uniform Rules of Naturalization authority, which Obama's so-called "parole"/"deferred action" maneuverings, etc., have attempted to subvert and non-uniformly "fast-track" for criminals. It does not even have "immigration policy" authority to dictate that States must yield to however many lawful immigrants might choose to take up residence there beyond its set capacity levels, let alone that the States must submissively be burdened with illegal aliens, too, as a "Federally protected" group.

Good observation. AND valid, had we still had a Constitution.

So far, I've been able to trace this supposed "parole" issue back to last year and the Military was being used then as an excuse to preferentially "legalize" any illegal alien family members of serving U.S. citizens, as well as to fast-track them non-uniformly for citizenship:

Immigration change gives legal status to undocumented relatives of US military

Excerpts:

By William La Jeunesse, Dan GalloPublished March 11, 2014 FoxNews.com

a new Obama administration policy is extending legal status and military benefits to thousands of illegal immigrants who are the spouses, parents and children of American military members.

But critics say the policy is tantamount to backdoor amnesty.

"A whole class of aliens with no right to be in the United States are suddenly going to be allowed to live and work here on the basis of their relationship with military and veterans," said Dan Cadman, with the Center for Immigration Studies.

The exemption, called parole in place, came in the form of a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services "policy memorandum." It was not submitted to or approved by Congress, and the regulations were not published in the Federal Register, which allows for public comment prior to a rule taking effect.

"I don't want to overstate it, but it sounds very similar to imperial decree if you ask me," Cadman said. "The public had no chance to comment on this new policy. I believe the way this was done was illegal."

Obama administration officials say the new rules do not require congressional action because they're based on existing statutes.

Based on what existing statues? Doesn't say, nor whether the statutes in question are themselves Unconstitutional.
