Republicans are not listening to anyone. They are bound and determined to see this doomed plan to the end. This is all because Republicans want to overturn DHS directives that prioritize the deportation of national security threats. convicted felons. and individuals apprehended at the border. It doesnt make sense. The administration sought a stay of the proceedings in Texas. but the trial judge in Texas never ever declared anything the President did as unconstitutional. If you read every word he wrote. the word "unconstitutional" is not written. He said the Administrative Procedure Act was not followed. The President has the right to determine who is to be deported. and the families of these DREAMers are way down the list. So the President is well within his established constitutional authority and legal process to hear this out. So why would we divert resources from real threats just so Republicans can deport DREAMers. longterm permanent residents. mothers and fathers of U.S. citizen children who pose no security risk?
