[link=http://www.scotusblog.com/2015/12/texas-gets-a-bit-more-time-on-immigration-reply/]http://www.scotusblog.com…-on-immigration-reply/[/link]
The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted twenty-six states an extra eight days to file their response to the Obama administrations appeal in defense of its broad new immigration policy. That extension considerably less than the added thirty days the states had sought makes it more likely that the case, United States v. Texas, will go before the Justices this Term.
…
The action by the Justices is not an agreement to review the case. That will be decided only after the preliminary filings are in.Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli, Jr., had told the Court on November 24 that, if the states were given an extra eight days and they actually did meet that deadline, the government would be willing to consider forgoing its right to file a reply brief. That would mean, Verrilli said, that the Court could consider the case at its private Conference, scheduled for January 15. In turn, he added, the Court could decide the case this Term in the ordinary course if the Court grants review.

If the court agrees to hear the case following the conference, its rules would allow briefing to take place in February and March and oral arguments in April. A ruling would likely come down in June — several months before the presidential election.
But because the political implications of the case are significant, Texas’ request was largely viewed as an attempt to game the clock — and possibly prevent the Supreme Court from hearing the case before the end of the current administration.
The Supreme Court will be hearing its share of controversial cases ahead of the 2016 presidential election — on abortion, affirmative action, public-sector unions, voting rights and religious challenges to contraceptive coverage under the Affordable Care Act. But none of these cases are likely to impact Obama’s legacy as much as the fate of his deportation relief programs, which have been in limbo for more than a year since he first announced them.

Great to see the a big shift in the GOP approach to immigration.
Ted Cruz has completely abandoned the Romney policy of “self deportation”.Instead Cruz wants [url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2015/12/16/ted-cruz-opposes-legal-status-for-undocumented-immigrants/] “attrition through enforcement”[/url].
Obviously a very big difference there 😉

The Supreme Court said Tuesday that it would consider a legal challenge to President Obamas overhaul of the nations immigration rules. The court, which has twice rejected challenges to Mr. Obamas health care law, will now determine the fate of one of his most far-reaching executive actions.
…
The administration, fearing that the program could remain frozen through the balance of Mr. Obamas presidency, had asked the court to move quickly. On that point, at least, the court agreed, and it now appears that the case will be argued in April and decided by the end of June.
…
The new case joins a crowded docket, including cases on abortion, affirmative action, public unions, voting rights and religious liberty. The decisions in all of them will probably land in the late spring and early summer, as the presidential election enters its final stages.Texas fails at its slow-play attempt. This will be election [b]BIG[/b], and probably play to the Democrats whether they win in Court or not …. maybe even bigger if they lose in court.

[url=http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/immigration-reform-gang-eight-225028]Immigration reformers look past Trump; ready Gang of 8 bill for a 2017 return[/url]
Lindsey Graham doesn’t sugarcoat his prediction: Republicans are going to get thrashed in the November election, especially among Latinos. And its going to trigger another run at immigration reform in Congress next year, the South Carolina senator says. Ill tell you what Im going to do in 2017, the plainspoken GOP deal maker said in a recent interview. Im going to take the Gang of Eight bill out, dust it off and ask anybody and everybody who wants to work with me to make it better to do so.
Graham isn’t the only one eyeing a revival of the Gang of Eight, the bipartisan group of senators that shepherded a sweeping immigration bill through the Senate three years ago only to watch it stall in the House a year later. Propelled by a Republican establishment eager to make inroads with minority voters after losing them by steep margins in the 2012 election, it was the closest Congress came in a generation to overhauling the nations immigration laws.
Gang of Eight leader Chuck Schumer is poised to become majority leader if Democrats take the Senate this year. And the New York senator already said immigration reform would be a top priority, most recently in an interview last week. The recent Supreme Court deadlock that left President Barack Obamas controversial executive actions on hold demonstrated that, for now, major changes to the nations immigration policy will have to come from Capitol Hill.

Pew: [url=http://www.people-press.org/2016/07/07/6-hispanic-voters-and-the-2016-election/]Hispanic voters and the 2016 election[/url]
Hillary Clinton currently has a 66%-24% advantage over Donald Trump among Hispanic registered voters. In a three-way test, including Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson, 58% of Latino voters support Clinton, 20% support Trump and 13% back Johnson.
At a somewhat later point in the campaign four years ago, Barack Obamas lead over Mitt Romney among Hispanics was comparable to Clintons lead over Trump today (69%-21%). And in the summer of 2008, Obama led John McCain 66%-23% among Hispanic voters.
[b]Immigration is a top voting issue for Latino voters, second only to the economy:[/b] As is the case among all voters, the economy is among the top issues for Hispanic voters: 86% say it is very important to their vote. But Hispanic voters are about as likely to say immigration is very important to their vote (79%). This is on par with the shares naming health care (82%), terrorism (80%), education (78%) and foreign policy (74%) as very important voting issues. Hispanic voters rate most issues similarly to the overall voting population.

[size=”0″][/size]
Donald Trump remains overwhelmingly unpopular with Latinos, a new NBC News/ Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll shows, with only about one in seven Latino voters say they support the presumptive GOP nominee.
A whopping 76 percent of the 300 Latino registered voters in the poll said they back Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head race, while just 14 percent said they back Trump.
What’s more, 82 percent of Latino voters say they have an unfavorable view of Trump, while just 11 percent view him positively.-

The new Trump ad, like the one he ran during the GOP primaries, has unmistakable parallels with the immigration ad that GOP Governor Pete Wilson ran in California in the mid 1990s that also depicted our borders overrun with dark hordes. As E.J. Dionne reports in his book on American conservatism, some Republicans see eerie parallels between the California GOPs decline amid a failure to adapt to the states ongoing demographic changes, and the national partys current failure to adapt to similar demographic changes sweeping the whole country not to mention the impact they are having on national elections.
Now the GOP nominee is using a very, er, Wilsonian approach two decades later, and in a general election.

[url=http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/21/politics/kellyanne-conway-donald-trump-deportation-force-tbd/] Whether Trump will push for the deportation of all illegal immigrants inside the US is ‘”To be determined”[/url]
It’s still undecided whether Donald Trump will continue to support forced deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants living in the US, his campaign manager said Sunday.
“To be determined,” said Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s new campaign manager, after repeated questioning by CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”
Conway was responding to reports about what was said in a meeting Trump held on Saturday with a Hispanic advisory council. Sources in the room told BuzzFeed that Trump spoke about a “humane and efficient” way to work with undocumented immigrants in the country currently, which was characterized by BuzzFeed as a way to legalize some and let them stay.
-
Or maybe it’s all just internecine chaos in the Trump campaign:
Not 18 hours later Trump smacks down Kellyanne Conway and insists [url=http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/21/politics/kellyanne-conway-donald-trump-deportation-force-tbd/index.html] he ‘is not flip-flopping on immigration'[/url]
Trump himself insisted Monday, “I’m not flip-flopping.”
“I’m not flip flopping,” the Republican presidential nominee told Fox News on the issue Monday. “We want to come up with a fair but firm process. Fair but firm.” He did not, however, provide any specifics or elaborate on his position further.
-
he’s already flip-flopped. There’s video of him saying similar things as Kasich. You can’t kick out X number of people.
-
There used to be a criticism of the Clintons as holding up their fingers to the wind & having the position on which way the wind was blowing.
Trump makes them look like pikers as his opinion can literally change from minute to minute as the crowd changes. Like he’s said in his books, he sells the audience what they want to hear. Why shouldn’t that change each minute with each new audience. Or day or weather. -
he’s already flip-flopped

Ok here are her flip flops:
2008 illegal Immigrants not covered under ACA 2016 they can buy into the exchange
2014 immigration children should be sent back. (referring to kids coming from Central America) 2016 in a town hall meeting in 2016 she dodged the question.

Not remotely close to calling for the development of a mass deportation force to expel 11 million people from the country. But as for the “flip-flop”, we’ll have to see what “firm but fair” alternative the Donald comes up with.

Because as I said, TRump changes positions from one speech to another, sometimes in the same speech going back and forth 180 degrees each little point. THAT, is flip flopping, not changing your public position over years, especially when you’re saying I’m against it, I’m for it, I’m against it, I’m for it, and so on. like watching a tennis or ping-pong game as he covers all the bases in a single speech( – to mix metaphors).
All I can tell you is if Trump is your ideal of an inspiring truthful and moral candidate who has no flaws unlike Hillary, then go for it, vote for Trump as your beliefs dictate.

Looks like Trump is fleshing out his immigration plan and …
It’s the same as Obama’s! Enforce existing laws and deport the criminals in a firm and fair manner.
No more “deportation force”. No more “operation wetback”. Just get rid of the bad guys (the “rapists” I presume).
Let’s see if the media lets him pivot and if Latino voters buy it.
-
But with “more energy”!!!!!!!
-
As Trump said:
The first thing were gonna do, if and when I win, is [b]were gonna get rid of all the bad ones.[/b] [b]We have existing laws that allow you to do that.[/b] [b]As far as everybody else, were going to go through the process. What people dont know is that Obama got tremendous numbers of people out of the country.[/b] [b]Lots of people were brought out of the country with the existing laws. Well, Im going to do the same thing.[/b]
As you say, the same thing as Obama IS doing. Talk about a fake issue to stir up the flames about nothing.-
I caught a little bit of this Hannity/Trump town hall last night. It was fair and balanced, however, low energy. By fair and balanced I mean they basically stacked the audience with parents telling stories of how their children were killed by illegals. Like the car accident wouldn’t have happened if we deported Pedro last month type of stuff. It was stacked about as Trumpy as it gets.

What back-taxes do they owe? They have jobs that take out SS and Medicare they are not entitled to benefit from & pay all state & federal taxes from their paychecks which they are also not entitled to benefit from. However American taxpayers do benefit from these “contributions” made on their behalf.

-
The notion of paying back-taxes or a fine has been a pillar of the moderate Republican approach to immigration reform for a number of years.
It is muddy from a policy standpoint since pretty much everyone knows it will be impossible to calculate the appropriate value on an individual basis.
But it has [i]political[/i] appeal in that it is meant to show GOP voters that the immigrants aren’t getting in “for free” and that there is some punitive action to be taken against their lawlessness.-
My question would be
If they are getting paid under the table…………………. How is anyone going to prove how much they owe in back taxes

Many low income workers get more out of the tax man than they put in. From a pure tax and social services aspect, we are better of with a underground economy.
The thing is many of the undocumented do pay taxes. They use some relatives SSN or an ITIN on a fake social security card and rely on most employers ignoring the ‘no match’ letters from SSA. As a result, most of them are not able to claim refunds and EITC and the IRS keeps all those undocumented tax payments. The IRS knows which TINs are used by more than one individual but they don’t care as long as the money comes in.-

Of course many low income get more benefits than taxes they pay. It’s called “assistance.” Rather like Red States.
As for all the illegals who steal SS#s, etc, you have any figures on that other than anecdotal and imaginative? What are the real numbers?

I understand it quite well, it’s not rocket science. The question is not whether an underground exists but its size compared to undocumented workers who are working in regular jobs. Anecdotal & anti-immigrant stories from individuals and media might suggest a HUGE impact but I would bet that the legit jobs make the underground look small.

And let’s talk reality, if the REAL concern is uncollected taxes I would also bet that the sum of uncollected taxes from legal and citizens might be a bit higher than any from the underground. And let’s not forget underground and uncollected taxes includes legals and citizens working off the books also.
And if one wants to collect ALL those uncollected taxes from ALL parties, fund the IRS as required so they can do their job of collecting taxes. But if one hates taxes (yeah, who doesn’t, but I don’t like doing a lot of necessary things) and believe the IRS should be destroyed or left underfunded then one also can’t exactly complain about uncollected taxes. And BTW, how much taxes does Trump pay anyway? I’m sure it’s all legal but Trump talking about the sin of uncollected taxes is irony & just more examples of talking out of both sides of his mouth.

Donald Trump on Thursday appeared to shift back to some version of the hard-line immigration posture he adopted in the GOP primary, telling CNN that he does not support a path to legal status for illegal immigrants unless they leave the country and return legally, the Washington Post reports.
The comment added a new layer of confusion to the GOP presidential nominees position on one of his signature issues. This week, Trump and his aides have softened their rhetoric on immigration, signaling an openness to legalizing many of the nations 11 million illegal immigrants despite Trumps long-standing vow to deport them all.
Politico: [url=http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/donald-trump-immigration-touch-back-227430]Trump contradicts campaign manager on immigration[/url]
Donald Trump on Thursday implied that immigrants could eventually be allowed to return to the country just days after his campaign chief said there would be no touch back for undocumented immigrants currently living in America.
No is not a path there is no path to legalization unless people leave the country, the Republican presidential nominee said to CNNs Anderson Cooper, while also describing his evolving position on immigration as a “hardening.”
When they come back in, if they come back in, then they can start paying taxes, but there is no path to legalization unless they leave the country and come back.Kellyanne Conway, Trumps recently appointed campaign manager, told CNN on Tuesday that Trump would not have a touch back policy.
Trump also denied that he was “softening” on immigration, instead saying “people” are calling it a “hardening.”

Of course, Trump and his campaign staff have worked hard this week to call it something else. That’s fine and to be expected. But this remains true: Trump is the candidate who made stopping illegal immigration and deporting all of the nation’s 11.2 million undocumented immigrants his political raison d’être.

And Trump followers do not like it at all, hence their attraction to Trump’s hard line on immigration and what some might, at the very least, describe as a whole range of exclusionary policy ideas.
Still, all that anxiety or anger or whatever is not enough. Emotions do not trump votes….This may well be obvious to a lot of people. But human beings who vote based in large part on those identity-related experiences are going to decide this election.

Jake Tapper trying to get Pence to clarify Trump’s immigration policies on CNN right now.
Pence is a good politician but, like Kellyanne Conway earlier in the week, he’s stuck trying to “be very clear” about an immigration policy that doesn’t really exist as policy.
Tapper is on to the fourth iteration of the “what about the 11 million undocumented immigrants”
“Donald Trump will articulate a policy about how we deal with that population.”
…
Now Pence is blaming the media for the focus on Trump’s statements. :rolleyes: Pence is running the playbook. He’s just playing with a weak offense.(Now Tapper is on to the 5th attempt on the same question. … still nothing resembling a real response)
Tapper’s conclusion (in a clearly frustrated tone): “To be clear. You did not address the issue the of whether or not there will be a deportation force removing the 11 or 12 million … but I don’t want to spend the entire interview on that one subject.”

The head of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce lamented the lost opportunity of the Republican Party in 2016 with Trump as its nominee.
Javier Palomarez, whose group made its first-ever presidential endorsement in July, backing Hillary Clinton, remarked Thursday that Trump was in a bind after his meeting with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.
“He had to come back out and really kind of fire up his base. But the reality of it is, he hasn’t done anything to help himself in terms of growing the number.
…And so I think he’s done for with the Hispanic community. He’s never going to see the White House if he doesn’t get a significant portion of the Hispanic vote,” he continued. “I don’t know if you guys speak Spanish but I want you to remember this one word: payaso. Payaso.” -

The court was deadlocked 4-4 in its decision in June, leaving a lower court order standing that blocks a program allowing undocumented immigrants who are parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to remain in the United States for three years and apply for work permits.
The decision also prevents the administration from otherwise expanding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program Obama created in 2012.
The Justice Department argued that the lower court’s preliminary injunction would prevent the government from carrying out the programs nationwide and, given the vacancy on the court, urged the justices to rehear the case when it has nine members. -

[link=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/15/us/politics/trump-immigration-kushner.html?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage]New York Times[/link]: Jared Kushner, the presidents son-in-law and a White House adviser, spent months working on the plan, which will serve as a central part of Mr. Trumps re-election campaign message. Working with him was Stephen Miller, the presidents top immigration adviser, but the plan falls short of the more extreme measures that Mr. Miller has long pressed the president to adopt and that have long been opposed by Democrats in Congress.

Kushners proposal does not include that. So, hes lost Democrats. And this doesnt bring down immigration into the U.S. which many Republicans have demanded.
This thing is deader than a doornail. The White House keeps saying its supposed to be a conversation-starter. The only conversation this will start in the Capitol is one about how goofy it is to believe this plan was even released in the first place.-

A sane, rational person would not like that course.
But let me guess, the communist marxist left want us to believe that all of their ideas, murderous and failed as the worst experiments in modern human history in the 20th century, if not ever — these ideas should be welcomed. Also with people that pull the lever for the ideas (over and over again, see central and south america) not having any understanding of them.
Yeah, sounds like a good idea.
