Judge flips the bird to Americans
More judicial activism in defiance of the expressed will of the people. This time, blocking the enforcement of existing law and a new ordinance aimed at illegal aliens in Farmers Branch, TX.
Illegal immigrant law in Farmers Branch blockedA federal judge Monday blocked the Dallas suburb of Farmers Branch from enforcing a controversial ordinance that would bar most illegal immigrants from renting apartments.
U.S. District Judge Sam Lindsay granted a request for a temporary restraining order one day before the voter-approved ordinance was to take effect.
In a 20-page opinion, the judge wrote that the city’s apartment measure pre-empts the federal goverment’s power to regulate immigration.
“The court recognizes that illegal immigration is a major problem in this country, and one who asserts otherwise ignores reality,” Lindsay wrote. “The court also fully understands the frustration of cities attempting to address a national problem that the federal government should handle; however, such frustration, no matter how great, cannot serve as a basis to pass an ordinance that conflicts with federal law.”
It doesn’t conflict with federal law, it enforces it! And that explains the ACLU’s and LULAC’s problem with the new ordinance.
Marisol Perez, a staff attorney with the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, which along with the American Civil Liberties Union filed suit against the ordinance, said federal rules give the judge 10 days to extend his order or set a hearing to consider whether to impose a longer-running injunction.“This opinion gives us an idea about how he feels about the matter. He is in line with what other judges around the country have found when faced with these ordinances,” she said. “We’ll see what happens next.”
Perez said similar restrictions in other cities around the country have been blocked before going into force, either by restraining orders or injunctions or by agreement of parties in lawsuits challenging them.
Three groups of plaintiffs, including Hispanic residents, apartments owners and businesses, have brought federal lawsuits against Farmers Branch’s attempt to bar illegal immigrants from renting apartments.
Lindsay wrote that landlords showed in papers submitted to the court in the last week that they would face irreparable harm by facing fines and losing business to neighboring cities. Tenants would be forced to relocate, change jobs or schools, “all harms that may not be remedied by monetary damages,” the judge wrote.
Yeah, how dare they expect landlords to turn aside illegal aliens! How dare they want to keep illegals from overrunning America.
Question: why is it that Democrats keep trying to get amnesty for illegal immigrants? Answer: because selling out their country to foreigners will ensure their hold on political power for the next decade and beyond by adding millions of new Democrats.
