Open borders Biden-Harris plan loses in Court

The Biden-Harris administration suffered a significant legal setback on Thursday when a federal judge ruled against its effort to provide amnesty for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants living in the United States. The ruling, issued by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, declared that President Joe Biden’s executive order, which aimed to offer a pathway to citizenship for illegal migrants married to U.S. citizens, was unlawful.

The executive order, first introduced in June 2023, was part of the administration’s broader immigration reform agenda. The plan, known as the Keeping Families Together program, sought to allow undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens to apply for lawful permanent residence without having to leave the country. Under current U.S. immigration law, illegal immigrants who marry U.S. citizens must typically leave the U.S. and return to their home country to complete the process of securing legal status. Biden’s order would have allowed these migrants to stay in the U.S. while their applications were processed.

However, the initiative was swiftly challenged by a coalition of Republican-led states, led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The states argued that the Biden administration had overstepped its legal authority by attempting to provide an expansive form of amnesty to illegal immigrants without Congressional approval.

Gene Hamilton, executive director of America First Legal, a conservative advocacy group that spearheaded the legal challenge, celebrated the court’s ruling as a victory for state sovereignty and the rule of law. “Since day one, the Biden-Harris Administration has dedicated itself to the decimation of our immigration system and the erasure of our borders,” Hamilton said in a statement following the decision.

The Biden-Harris administration opened the borders allowing millions of illegals into the country.  Trump has said that he will deport them when he is sworn in.  The Democrat administration has been accused of using the illegals in an attempt to gain a permanent majority of people willing to vote for them.

During a phone interview with NBC News, Trump stated that “there’s no price tag” to his promised deportation plan. He said that he’d initiate an unprecedented immigration crackdown from his first day in office, aiming to deport those in the U.S. illegally, particularly individuals with criminal records.

“It’s not a question of a price tag. It’s not — really, we have no choice. When people have killed and murdered, when drug lords have destroyed countries, and now they’re going to go back to those countries because they’re not staying here. There is no price tag,” Trump said, according to NBC News.
