The work of undoing the Biden Administration’s unlawful importation of millions of illegal aliens didn’t stop with Kamala’s defeat, and Texas and other states just won an important legal victory to help secure the border.
Texas received a final judgment permanently blocking a Biden administration “parole in place” (PIP) policy that would have allegedly allowed over a million illegal aliens to secure citizenship without satisfying “clear” congressionally-issued requirements.
That policy established a process for “certain noncitizen spouses and noncitizen stepchildren of U.S. citizens” to get around federal prohibitions against certain immigration benefits being obtained until after leaving the country and returning in a legal manner, according to the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) press release.
The final judgment was issued on November 7, along with United States District Judge Campbell Parker’s opinion determining that the Biden administration lacks “statutory authority” to implement the PIP program.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, along with 15 other states and co-counsel America First Legal (AFL), filed a lawsuit on August 23 against the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), alleging that the Biden administration was violating the U.S. Constitution in its new agency rule adopted on August 19.
The primary complaint against the DHS rule is that it allows a roundabout path for certain non-legal spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens to receive legal permanent status without going through the proper process such as applying for it at an embassy or consulate in one’s home country before becoming a legal citizen. The concern over the DHS rule was that instead of following the protocol established by Congress, the aforementioned illegal aliens would be allowed to stay in the country under “parole,” during which they could apply for citizenship status, all without leaving the country.
Paxton was granted a temporary stay on August 26, blocking the policy while litigation proceeded.
“Once again we have stopped the Biden-Harris Administration’s radical attempts to destroy America’s borders and undermine the rule of law,” Paxton said in a press release.
“This unlawful parole scheme would have rewarded more than 1 million illegal aliens with citizenship and incentivized millions more to break into our country. I look forward to the day when the federal government starts following the law again,” he concluded.
Judge Parker’s opinion concluded in agreement with the 16-state coalition’s claim that the “defendants lack statutory authority … itself to grant parole ‘in place’ to aliens … or to deem parole ‘in place’ as used there to be parole ‘into the United States.’”
Lawsuit by lawsuit, the open borders insanity of the Biden Administration is being rolled back, laying the foundation for President Trump to start promised mass deportations upon re-assuming office.

“No Joe, no cookies, get out of the jar. Ice cream’s over there.”
“Lawsuit by lawsuit, the open borders insanity of the Biden Administration is being rolled back, laying the foundation for President Trump to start promised mass deportations upon re-assuming office.”
I am eagerly anticipating “the fundamental transformation of America.”

Best part is that a Trump DOJ will not prosecute an appeal from this judgment.
I think that what Trump’s new crew ought to do, and it looks like they’re maybe working this direction, is to deport anyone who isn’t contributing while giving everyone who is a pass.
Frankly, I think that if you got any taxpayer-funded anything, you ought to be permanently deported after working off the bill doing manual labor somewhere nice… Building a border wall, for example. If you came to the US, because you wanted to be a US citizen and went to work…? Mmmm… I wouldn’t mind if they found a way to keep productive contributors here. If, however, you commit a crime? Especially one of violence? Automatic capital punishment. No questions asked; just “Did they do it? OK, that’s it… Hang ’em.”
Being here illegally ought to be an automatic sentence enhancer, like using a gun. Violent? Enhanced even more. Anyone protests, like Mexico has been wont to do? Tell them too bad, too sad… Keep their criminally-inclined on their side of the border. If we apprehend them after a crime on US soil, automatic no-appeal capital punishment. Only thing that gets adjudicated is the facts: Here illegally? Commit a violent crime? Dead.
And, as an encouragement? Any US citizen or officer of the US government at any level does anything to “assist” these criminal scum? They get the same sentence… Up to and including any judges that think it’s a good idea to help them run from Immigration or the Border Patrol.
If you’re a decent law-abiding person? I’ve got no problem with you. Violent criminal, here illegally? You and everyone helping you need to be dead, dead, dead.
