What a tangled web we weave when at first we practice to deceive
Yesterday, it was revealed by
The Washington Times that earlier in the week, lawyers for the Obama administration admitted they had lied during recent court proceedings on immigration and had already approved over one-hundred thousand cases of executive amnesty. This was in direct conflict with testimony given to Judge Andrew S. Hanen, who issued a stay in Obama’s executive actions that would allow five million illegal immigrants to stay in the country legally. In other words, the lawyers who were trying to appeal the judge’s stay lied to the judge during the initial arguments.
You can’t make this stuff up.
The Washington Times reports:
President Obama’s lawyers misled a federal judge when they said they weren’t approving any applications under his expanded deportation amnesty, Texas charged in new court papers Thursday that said the breach is serious enough that the courtshould allow legal discovery to get to the bottom of the matter.
The Obama Admin Just Got Busted Again But This Time The Judge Won t Stand For It
liar liar, pants on fire!
From your Washington Times link
But on Tuesday department lawyers informed Judge
Hanen they may have left him with a wrong impression when they said they hadn’t carried out any of the president’s new policies.
Mr. Obama’s Nov. 20 announcement offered a number of different benefits to illegal immigrants, including expanding eligibility for his 2012 amnesty for Dreamers and boosting the amount of time he was granting an amnesty form deportation and permits for legal work from two years to three years.
While the administration hadn’t begun collecting applications under the expanded eligibility, it had awarded tens of thousands of three-year permits to applicants who had qualified as Dreamers under the original rules from 2012, administration lawyers told
the court.
USCIS has told immigrant rights activists it has stopped and is only granting two-year renewals now, in a tacit admission that it believes Judge
Hanen’s injunction affects all parts of Mr. Obama’s November announcement.
Sooooo, NO ONE in Obama's NEW program was added or processed etc....
There are NOT 100,000 of the illegals Obama spoke of delaying deportation in his Nov 20th speech. There are ZERO illegal immigrants from his Nov 20th new deferred action processed.
There are Dreamers since Nov 20th that have been issued a 3 year delay instead of a 2 year delay.
These ARE NOT the illegal immigrants that Obama spoke of delaying deportation on Nov. 20th who are the parents of USA Citizen children that Texas is suing over.
They did make a mistake by not telling the judge they had extended Dreamers, a deferred action group established a few years earlier, that DHS processed before the ruling from the judge but after Nov. 20th, giving them 3 year delays, vs the 2 year delays when obama first initiated the DREAMER program.
