SCOTUS denies Trumps bid to overturn DACA.

The Supreme Court denies Trumps latest bid to overturn DACA on 5 to 4 dicision. Justice Roberts writes majority decision. 700,000 dreamers can now breath easy.

Sounds like the SCOTUS didn't care for the claim that the program was illegal to begin with. Very close decison. And DOJ can bring up the matter again.

Good luck with that. Trump will be out of office and in asylum in Russia by then.

Roberts was once again the spoiler.

Yay. Breaking the law DOES pay...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this isn't about the merits of the case, but about procedure.

Yes it is.

[Cow Poke]

Yes it is.

Seems so more and more, as I read more about it.

I'd rephrase that to "this isn't about the merits of DACA, but about procedure".

And I'd agree, yes.

The SCOTUS decision made clear that there's still room for DACA to be repealed. I strongly suspect this will never happen, though, because (aka. the real reason Republicans are trying) there isn't enough time for it to benefit Trump's re-election campaign. The whole kerfuffle was never about immigration...

OK, I'll buy that!

I predict "immigration" won't be solved (or even seriously addressed) any time soon. Both sides need it as a political football.

I just heard a news clip with Pelosi making a comment about how good DACA is. The funny thing here is that Pelosi has not pushed a bill to make DACA into a law. Why didn't the Democrats ever pass a bill on this? A bill would have made the outcome more secure. It really is hard to take Pelosi or the Supreme Court seriously on this.

Executive order by Obama, supported by democrats. As congressional legislation the republican Senate would never pass it. You got to love a party that would throw 700,000 young people out of the only country they've ever known.

It never was a law. Laws are to be created by Congress.

This is not particularly the only country that most of these people have known. They likely still have relatives (for most of them) in the original country.

If there are no loopholes ... I would prefer that parents who enter the country legally with children under 10 years old (or some reasonable number) could have automatic inclusion of these children into citizenship when the parents get citizenship -- if the kids have not turned 18 years old by this time.

I know of one guy who was taken to Yuma Arizona for exportation. He was married to a citizen. I'm not sure what happened eventually. But I didn't want him to be exported.

People who immigrate are taking risks on their own future and that of their children. We can lose a sense of freedom and the principles that make us free when we have too quick of immigration from other countries.

They did. Republicans blocked it, over and over and over again.

DREAM act:
2009
2010
2011
2012
2017
Dream and Promise Act:
2019

So, the Republican senate, could, if it wanted to, next week take up the latest bill the Democrats passed in the House in 2019, the Dream and Promise Act, and pass it to make it law. House Dems have done their part by writing and passing the law, as you wanted.

A bill would have made the outcome more secure.

Indeed. Can you please convince the Republican senators to vote for it? Thanks.

These rejections aren't based on the extremely stupid things the Dems always throw into bills, are they?
