Lawyers representing the University of California said on a conference call Friday the government did not act in accordance with proper legislative procedure when it rescinded a program that deferred deportation for undocumented individuals brought to the United States as children.
The University, represented by Covington & Burling LLP attorneys, has been engaged in a lawsuit against President Donald Trump’s administration for rescinding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program since September.
The UC filed the lawsuit against the Trump administration in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California three days after it announced an end to DACA on Sept. 5.
Jeffrey Davidson, a partner at Covington & Burling LLP, will present oral arguments in court in Pasadena, California, next week. The University is using the case to take a public stand on behalf of DACA recipients nationwide, Davidson said.
“This case is fundamentally about whether these young people are allowed to continue to work and be recognized as the young Americans that they are,” Davidson said.
Davidson added the University’s main arguments are based on how the Trump administration did not follow the correct protocol for rescinding funding for DACA. Normally the president must propose the rescission of funding for major programs to Congress, but if both chambers do not approve this decision within 45 days, funding for programs such as DACA must be made available again.
“The government cannot act precipitously or arbitrarily, which is exactly what this government did (in rescinding DACA),” Davidson said.
Three of the four higher court judges who have reviewed the lawsuits against the Trump administration’s decision to rescind DACA found it the rescission unlawful.
Alexander Berengaut, another attorney representing the UC in court, said that because the judges who ruled against the Trump administration were appointed by both Republicans and Democratic presidents, their decisions have more to do with the legality of rescinding DACA than their political affiliation.
“(The UC’s appeal is) not about politics, but based on the law about how government decisions should be made,” Berengaut said. “One of our central arguments is that the government didn’t follow the rules about how those laws are made.”
All that money spent on Attorneys for illegal aliens? and where is it coming from? When will politicians and
people in general figure out that when you reward illegal immigration
with jobs, drivers licenses, discounts in college tuition, scholarships
encourages illegal entry. DACA recipients care about one thing,
themselves. They have used billions of taxpayer dollars and want more
and more.
There is an estimated 800,000 DACA
recipients in the US. That is 800,000 jobs American Citizens don’t have
or will be in competition for. So when you hear “we pay taxes…we pay
taxes” about “contributions” by illegal aliens taking American jobs,
remember that also is at a cost in jobs citizens should have.
Just
some of the costs associated with illegal immigration, we will pass
this burden on to our children as has been passed on to us.
*The
cost of educating illegal aliens children is staggering. From K-12 it
costs taxpayers $122,000 for EACH illegal alien student. This does not
include the billions spent on bilingual education for illegal aliens.
*Currently
city, and state officials are appropriating millions of taxpayer
dollars for legal fees to to file law suits and in defense of illegal
aliens being deported.
*2012 illegal aliens sent
home $62 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin. This
is why Mexico is getting involved in our politics.
*30%
percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.Does not
include local jails and State Prisons. At $21,000 per year expense per
inmate in Federal Prison U do the math.
*$3Million
Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens, I repeat 3 MILLION
a DAY to process Illegals in the Criminal justice system.
*$2.2Billion
dollars a year is spent on is spent on food assistance programs such as
SNAP (food stamps) WIC, & free school lunches.All can be found on
google.
The CBO (congressional budget off ice)
estimates it will cost American taxpayers 26 billion over the next
10years if 1.8 million re legalized.
“This case is fundamentally about whether these young people are allowed to continue to work and be recognized as the young Americans that they are,” Davidson said.
Young Americans???? You better care for the “real” young Americans that struggle with opioids, poverty, loans and abuse instead of taking care of the criminal Latino offspring. “Like father, like son” – the children are probably not better than the illiterate parents that have abused the public welfare for decades.
