Tuesday, during a historic publicly
televised meeting between the President and members of both the House
and Senate, President Trump reiterated his desire to pass a bill
concerning DACA but that must include a border wall and the end of
chain migration and lottery for immigrant visas.
During that meeting, Senator Dianne
Feinstein asked the President if he would consider signing a “clean
DACA bill” and work on the other things at a later time. It seemed
that the President didn't quite understand that a “clean bill”
was a bill that was DACA only, without the things the President
wanted in the bill. He initially agreed that a clean bill would be
OK. But did he really not understand it? One never knows with Trump.
A Republican explained Feinstein's
request and the President and he immediately reversed what he said,
telling all attendees that the wall, chain migration and the lottery
must be included in the bill.
Feinstein knew what she was trying to
do. She wanted a clean bill to be passed so the Democrats could get
what they wanted on DACA and then refuse to negotiate the other
things after that happened. Why would they if they already got what
they wanted? The same thing happened to Ronald Reagan after he
granted amnesty to illegals in 1986 with a promise from Congress to
secure the border. They never did.
Nice try, Senator. But the President is
not falling for it. Either work with the President and the
Republicans to come to an agreement or forget the entire thing.
In other news, a federal judge in San
Francisco has ruled that President Trump cannot end Barack Obama's
Executive Amnesty Executive Order. Apparently the judge doesn't quite
understand that just at in the case of immigration, the President has
full authority to end an Executive Order at any time, just because
he's President. Federal judges cannot change that – regardless of
how they feel about it. They can rule a new Executive Order as
unconstitutional, as happened to President Obama, but they can't stop
him from ending and Executive Order since the order is not law but
the whim of a President.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the DACA order in 2015. The case went to the Supreme Court and the court, having only eight members at the time, was split four to four.
The DACA Executive Order was an illegal end run around Congress anyway. Congress refused to pass a bill concerning those covered under DACA so President Obama decided to legislate from the Oval Office, which he admittedly did not have the authority to do. President Trump has the right and the authority to end that program. And this judge really should understand that.

These liberal federal judges who prove
regularly that they are nothing but obstructionists need to be
removed from the bench. The Constitution gives the President of the
United States certain authorities and he doesn't have to ask federal
judges if he has their permission to legally perform his job. Those
judges who rule against the rule of law for political reasons should
not be allowed to remain on the job.
The President's attorneys will appeal
this decision to the Supreme Court and once again the liberal
district judges will be shut down. But in the meantime they're just
wasting the President's time.
