In the Reno v. AmericanArab AntiDiscrimination case. Justice Scalia said. "At each stage. the Executive has discretion to abandon the endeavor"referring to the removal process-"and at the time IIRIA was enacted. the INS had been engaging in a regular practice (which has come to be known as deferred action) of exercising that discretion for humanitarian reasons or simply for its own convenience." The arguments that somehow this is unlawful are so far wrong because nothing in the recent executive actions conflicts with either the letter or the spirit of the Immigration and Nationality Act or any other Federal statute. I would note that the court in Texas did not find the Presidents action unconstitutional. It suggestedand I think wronglythat the Administrative Procedure Act applies to these actions.
