A group of young illegal aliens are suing President Trump in order to force him to give them legal status in the United States. This is just one of many suits and at least one activist judge will rule in their favor.
But, the constitution is clear on this matter that the president has the final say as to who can remain in the country and who is permitted into the United States. The activist judge who will rule in the illegal’s favor will be declaring the constitution to be unconstitutional. Good luck with that, Charley.
According to Reuters, the complaint claims “The government has imposed a new requirement for eligibility, resulting in the delay and denial of scores of meritorious petitions and placing young people in jeopardy of deportation.” The plaintiffs are four unnamed migrants from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador who came to America through the southern border during a surge of unaccompanied minors crossing in 2014 and 2015.
The issue at hand is the interpretation of what’s known as Special Immigrant Juvenile status, which can be used to obtain green cards for “a child who’s a non-citizen and has been abandoned, neglected or abused by one or both parents,” according to the law firm Rumbold & Seidelman, LLP.
The Trump administration has determined that state courts “lacked jurisdiction and authority to enter findings for young adult immigrants” the New York Law Journal reported, and argues it’s adhering to the laws of a majority of states which recognize 18 as the age of majority.
So far this year, the federal government has also been hit with court challenges against its administration of the Special Immigrant Juvenile statute four times. Attorneys representing the New Jersey migrants speculate there are more than 100 other people who would be eligible to join in on their class action lawsuit.
