Removal is a civil, not criminal, matter. A principal feature of the removal system is the broad discretion exercised by immigration officials. Federal officials, as an initial matter, must decide whether it makes sense to pursue removal at all. If removal proceedings commence, aliens may seek asylum and other discretionary relief allowing them to remain in the country or at least to leave without formal removal. Discretion in the enforcement of immigration law embraces immediate human concerns. Unauthorized workers trying to support their families, for example, likely pose less danger than alien smugglers or aliens who commit a serious crime. The equities of an individual case may turn on many factors, including whether the alien has children born in the United States

What will you claim now? That the President isn't an immigration official? That would be a retarded argument to make as DHS, a Cabinet Department, is in charge of immigration enforcement.

I'm sure plenty of you whackos won't even give a fuck that the Supreme Court has already said that you're wrong. Because you don't care about reality. All that matters is that you hate the President.
