Washington - The administration of US President
Barack Obama promised today that it will appeal the courts decision of a
federal judge in the State of Texas, temporarily blocking the executive
actions of the President on immigration.
An official note from the White House defended such provisions
announced by the ruling last November, and noted that the Supreme Court
of Justice and the Congress established that federal officials can
establish priorities in the implementation of immigration laws.Judge Andrew Hanen tries to stop these policies of Obama, which are legal and have common sense, so the Justice Department will claim its annulment before the Court of appeals for the Fifth District, based in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Hanen decided to freeze the ruling orders, intended to postpone the deportation of about five millions of undocumented immigrants living in the United States, and granted time to a coalition of 26 States of the Union to impose a demand aimed at eliminating definitively such provisions.
The judge argued in a memorandum attached at its disposal, that the legal remedy against the Executive should proceed, because without a preliminary pause the applicants would suffer irreparable harm in this case.
The first of the orders of Obama, should be in force Wednesday, associated with a program that protects from deportation young immigrants who came to the United States when they were children and meet additional requirements.
Most of the program of the President, extending that protection to parents of permanent residents and U.S. citizens who have lived in the country for a few years would be current for March 19th.
The Republicans have a majority in both houses of the US Congress and subject to the approval of the budget of some 40 billion dollars from the Department of Homeland Security, for the current fiscal year that ends September 30 next, the Elimination of the migrant relief issued by Obama.
