A federal judge on Wednesday declared illegal a revised version of a federal policy that prevents the deportation of hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen agreed with Texas and eight other states suing to stop the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program. The judge’s ruling was ultimately expected to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, sending the program’s fate before the high court for a third time. Hanen barred the government from approving any new applications, but left the program intact for existing recipients during the expected appeals process. Hanen said his order does not require the federal government to take any actions against DACA recipients.

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #16

April 26-May 3 2024

President Biden announced $3 billion to help replace lead pipes in the drinking water system. Millions of Americans get their drinking water through lead pipes, which are toxic, no level of lead exposure is safe. This problem disproportionately affects people of color and low income communities. This first investment of a planned $15 billion will replace 1.7 million lead pipe lines. The Biden Administration plans to replace all lead pipes in the country by the end of the decade.

President Biden canceled the student debt of 317,000 former students of a fraudulent for-profit college system. The Art Institutes was a for-profit system of dozens of schools offering degrees in video-game design and other arts. After years of legal troubles around misleading students and falsifying data the last AI schools closed abruptly without warning in September last year. This adds to the $29 billion in debt for 1.7 borrowers who wee mislead and defrauded by their schools which the Biden Administration has done, and a total debt relief for 4.6 million borrowers so far under Biden.

President Biden expanded two California national monuments protecting thousands of acres of land. The two national monuments are the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument and the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument, which are being expanded by 120,000 acres. The new protections cover lands of cultural and religious importance to a number of California based native communities. This expansion was first proposed by then Senator Kamala Harris in 2018 as part of a wide ranging plan to expand and protect public land in California. This expansion is part of the Administration's goals to protect, conserve, and restore at least 30 percent of U.S. lands and waters by 2030.

The Department of Transportation announced new rules that will require car manufacturers to install automatic braking systems in new cars. Starting in 2029 all new cars will be required to have systems to detect pedestrians and automatically apply the breaks in an emergency. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration projects this new rule will save 360 lives every year and prevent at least 24,000 injuries annually.

The IRS announced plans to ramp up audits on the wealthiest Americans. The IRS plans on increasing its audit rate on taxpayers who make over $10 million a year. After decades of Republicans in Congress cutting IRS funding to protect wealthy tax cheats the Biden Administration passed $80 billion for tougher enforcement on the wealthy. The IRS has been able to collect just in one year $500 Million in undisputed but unpaid back taxes from wealthy households, and shows a rise of $31 billion from audits in the 2023 tax year. The IRS also announced its free direct file pilot program was a smashing success. The program allowed tax payers across 12 states to file directly for free with the IRS over the internet. The IRS announced that 140,000 tax payers were able to use it over their target of 100,000, they estimated it saved $5.6 million in tax prep fees, over 90% of users were happy with the webpage and reported it quicker and easier than companies like H&R Block. the IRS plans to bring direct file nationwide next year.

The Department of Interior announced plans for new off shore wind power. The two new sites, off the coast of Oregon and in the Gulf of Maine, would together generate 18 gigawatts of totally clean energy, enough to power 6 million homes.

The Biden Administration announced new rules to finally allow DACA recipients to be covered by Obamacare. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an Obama era policy that allows people brought to the United States as children without legal status to remain and to legally work. However for years DACA recipients have not been able to get health coverage through the Obamacare Health Care Marketplace. This rule change will bring health coverage to at least 100,000 uninsured people.

The Department of Health and Human Services finalized rules that require LGBTQ+ and Intersex minors in the foster care system be placed in supportive and affirming homes.

The Senate confirmed Georgia Alexakis to a life time federal judgeship in Illinois. This brings the total number of federal judges appointed by President Biden to 194. For the first time in history the majority of a President's nominees to the federal bench have not been white men.

Congress Fails To Adopt Important Immigration Legislation

Previous posts documented Congress’ earlier failure this Session to adopt (a) the Afghan Adjustment Act to improve the legal status of Afghan evacuees in the U.S. and (b) important bipartisan immigration reform, one of which was offered by Senators Kyrsten Sinema (ex-Democrat & now Independent) and Thom Tillis (Rep., NC) that would have addressed the legal fate of so-called Dreamers and provided…

J. Antonio Rodriguez, who has been starring in the Hadestown tour as Orpheus for nearly a year, has been forced to stop performing in the tour as of March 13th due to the recent delay in DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) application processing.

As the Hadestown producers have not discharged Rodriguez from his contract, he continues to travel with the show, hoping that his DACA status will be renewed and he can perform again.

Illegal aliens who have been living in the United States for at least 10 years, or who have relatives that are U.S. citizens, could soon be granted amnesty by President Biden, who worries that these illegals will "suffer" if they have to be deported.

Similar to President Obama's DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program, the Biden regime is quietly, and some say secretly, cooking up a tall order that will allow millions of illegal aliens in America to be granted amnesty and green cards to stay here forever as if they were legal citizens.

As Democrats continue to lose the black and Latino vote, it would appear as though this newfound plan is part of a large-scale effort to secure more left-wing voters by rewarding border invaders with a free stay in the United States.

"Like the Obama administration did in 2012 with the launch of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, Biden administration officials are also examining whether there's an action they could take for a different group of undocumented people who have long resided in the United States, according to the three people familiar with the administration's planning," Politico reported.

"One idea that has been floated among administration officials is opening access to the cancellation of removal program for people who have lived in the U.S. for over 10 years and have citizen or resident relatives who would 'suffer' if they were deported. If specific requirements are met and an immigration judge approves cancellation of removal, a migrant is able to obtain a green card."

Thanks to a grant from the state’s department of social services, California community college students can renew their Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) permits for free. The Higher Education Immigration Legal Services Project also provides free legal counsel.

Jessica Schulberg at HuffPost:

During the final six months of Donald Trump’s presidency, his administration carried out an unprecedented execution spree, killing 13 people on federal death row and ending a 17-year de facto federal execution moratorium. Shortly after Joe Biden entered the White House, the Justice Department formally reinstated the federal execution moratorium and announced a sweeping policy review. But despite Biden’s campaign promise to work to end the federal death penalty, there has been little progress toward that goal. Meanwhile, Trump, the GOP’s presumptive 2024 presidential nominee, has openly fantasized about executing drug dealers and human traffickers. He reportedly suggested that officials who leak information to the press should be executed, too. And behind the scenes, there’s a team of pro-Trump conservatives who are pushing for a second Trump term that involves even more state-sponsored killing than the first.

Last year, a coalition effort by conservative groups known as Project 2025 released an 887-page document that lays out policy goals and recommendations for each part of the federal government. Buried on page 554 is a directive to execute every remaining federal death row prisoner — and to persuade the Supreme Court to expand the types of crimes that can be punished with death sentences. Gene Hamilton, the author of the transition playbook’s Department of Justice chapter, wrote that the next conservative administration should “do everything possible to obtain finality” for every prisoner on federal death row, which currently includes 40 people. “It should also pursue the death penalty for applicable crimes—particularly heinous crimes involving violence and sexual abuse of children—until Congress says otherwise through legislation,” he wrote. In a footnote, Hamilton said that this could require the Supreme Court to overrule a previous case, “but the [Justice] department should place a priority on doing so.”

Hamilton, a former Trump DOJ and Department of Homeland Security official, played a leading role in ending Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals — the program that provided protections against deportation for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children — and the “zero-tolerance” border policy that resulted in separating children from their families.

If Trump returns to office, the scope for the death penalty would be expanded, per Project 2025 documents.

Was Obama anti gay marriage and anti illegal immigration? A genuine question, I don't know, I am not from the USA.

No, he was never "anti" either of those things. He simply didn't talk about them much, especially in his first campaign, because a) the Great Recession was happening and the only thing everyone cared about was the economy, b) in 2008 we were still seven years from SCOTUS legalizing gay marriage nationwide and it was very much a fringe issue; c) see earlier point about Obama having to paint himself very much as an institutional centrist, a common-sense choice who would not rock the boat or immediately rush for drastic change, in order to coax jittery white middle America into voting for an inexperienced brown guy with a father from Kenya and the middle name Hussein. The Democrats (and American society as a whole) were not yet united around LGBTQ+ issues, and while Obama himself was still undecided on the question of full marriage (though he supported domestic/civil rights, which was often where most people came down at the time), he didn't talk about it.

However, his thinking did evolve, and he certainly wasn't anti-LGBTQ in the same way that, say, Bill Clinton had to be in the 90s with Don't Ask Don't Tell (aka the policy that prohibited LGBTQ people from serving openly in the US military) -- indeed, his administration repealed it in 2010, which was a BIG deal at the time. Also in I want to say 2012, Biden (as vice president) went on TV and affirmed his full support for gay marriage, before either Obama or the White House had officially done so. This pushed him to come out and say that he also supported it (people now often forget that Biden was the first to do it, especially when they want to insist he's anti-LGBTQ), and the SCOTUS decision in 2015 legalizing nationwide marriage equality (ah, the good ol' days when SCOTUS was actually doing things like that!) was fully welcomed and embraced by the White House.

As for immigration, Obama did try to reform it, with.... varying levels of success, and mostly tried to stay away from major or controversial changes. This was also because all his energy was focused (in his first term) on bailing out the economy and passing the Affordable Care Act, and after that, he lost the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014, limiting what he could do for much of his second term. However, people also forget that Obama was the one who started DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, also known as Dreamers) in 2012, allowing for many undocumented immigrants who had been brought to the US as children to stay and earn a lawful path to citizenship. He also tried to expand it and maintain it in more states, even as the Republicans fiercely fought to get it shut down (and managed to temporarily block it in SCOTUS in 2016; it's still under review/up in the air as to its legal fate/expansion/effectiveness). So yeah, he wasn't "anti" either of those things.

「宮崎正弘の国際情勢解題」　

令和六年（２０２４）３月２２日（金曜日）

　　　　通巻第８１８６号　

　希望の州と言われたアリゾナ州も不法移民で大混乱に

　　人口の３０％がヒスパニック、共和党が選挙で勝てない理由

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

　野球キャンプ、ＴＳＭＣの進出、インテルの工場拡大と雇用増加で景気浮揚が見られるアリゾナ州が、不法移民のもたらす危機に襲われている。アリゾナ州の国境対策は取締の弛緩、壁建設の遅れなどに加えて連邦資金が4月に枯渇する見通しとなった��

不法移民流入を防げないとなるとカリフォルニア、テキサスと並んで不法移民が殺到するおそれがある。

州知事は民主党のケイティ・ホッブズ。国境対策に予算増額を表明し、キルステン・シネマ上院議員（民主党から無所属）とマーク・ケリー上院議員（民主党、元宇宙飛行士）も同調している。民主党も立場を変えたのだ。１１月の改選選挙ではシネマが不出馬となり、共和党候補が有利と伝えられている。

　アリゾナ州ヘレフォード国境では過去数ヶ月に最大の不法移民が通過したとみられる。

国境近くの牧場主などは、「壁が完成していないために侵略されているのです。そのうえ必要な人員を配置していません」と『ワシントン・エギザミナー』紙の取材に答えている。。

　アリゾナを通過する不法移民はヒスパニックが主で、アリゾナに留まるヒスパニック人口は急増、じつに３割を越えた。

　元凶はオバマ政権時代の「ＤＡＣＡ」である。

これは「アメリカン五リームを持て馬手北若年移民に対し、強制退去の延期措置（Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals）。2012年6月に導入された寛大な移民政策だ。16歳の誕生日前に入国し、就学中であり、高校の卒業資格をもつか軍隊から名誉除隊しており、有罪判決を受けておらず、国家安全保障に脅威を与える危惧がない等を条件とする。

　2017年９月にトランプ大統領はDACAを撤廃したが、2020年6月に連邦最高裁判所はDACA撤廃を「専断的で根拠を欠く」行為と認定してドリーマー救済廃止案を棄却した。

　だから不法移民は急増し、バイデン政権時代だけで１２００万の不法移民が流入し、治安が極度に悪化した。１１月大統領選挙、最大の争点はこの移民問題である。

Biden Considering Granting Amnesty, Handing Out Green Cards To Illegal Immigrants

P Resident Joe Biden is currently considering granting amnesty to illegal migrants in a bid to act on the worsening immigration crisis, according to Politico.

Biden and his administration are weighing several ideas to take a tougher stance on the southern border crisis and illegal immigration amid criticisms he has thus far failed to act on either. The administration could start dolling out green cards to illegal immigrants who have long stayed inside the United States, thereby giving them amnesty to stay in the country, three people familiar with the planning told Politico. (RELATED: Immigration Overtakes Inflation As Top Voter Concern In 2024: POLL)

The plan would grant migrants who have been in the country for more than 10 years access to the cancellation of removal program provided that they have relatives who would suffer if they were deported, according to Politico. Migrants could then receive a green card — a permanent residency grant — if they meet the cancellation of removal requirements and an immigration judge rules in their favor.

It would represent a larger effort by Biden to take action on behalf of illegal immigrants who have long stayed inside the U.S., the three officials told Politico. The Obama administration took similar action in 2012 with the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which delayed the deportation of illegal migrants who came to the U.S. when they were minors.
