U.S. Supreme Court rejects Trump over 'Dreamers' immigrants
Dreamer's win..again---I wonder what Gorsuch's vote was?
"The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday dealt a setback to President Donald Trump, requiring his administration to maintain protections he has sought to end for hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought illegally into the United States as children.
The justices refused to hear the administration's appeal of a federal judge's Jan. 9 injunction that halted Trump's move to end a program that benefits immigrants known as "Dreamers" implemented in 2012 by his Democratic predecessor, Barack Obama. Under Trump's action, the protections were due to start phasing out beginning in March."

In blow to Trump, Supreme Court won’t hear appeal of DACA ruling
The MSM bias here is egregious..this is no 'Blow to Trump' nor is it a rejection. In fact, it has nothing to do with Trump at all.....just a procedural thing. SCOTUS wishes the case to go through all the procedural steps, going through the lower courts first, before ruling.
Trump is in favor of DACA..and wants the Dreamers to have a path to citizenship--he has said so many times. He just wants to use it as a bargaining chip to get his wall. The only way that works is if the decision stays in Congress, thus Trump's seeking to end the illegal executive order.
You don't think President Trump realized, when he rescinded Obama's Order on DACA, that Congress has not been capable of passing legislation on illegal immigrants in decades? Do you think he didn't realize how risky that was, if his real objective was to give DACA recipients citizenship?
Considering the way he talks about illegal immigrants, I am at a loss to square his statements about DACA with his repeated statements that illegals are the devil himself.
I agree it should be a law that won't be forever quicksand under the feet of DACA enrollees. However, Congress has been incapable of doing this for how long? For the President to cut off the DACA Order, throw it back into the lap of a do nothing Congress expecting action? I am just not convinced Trump is as in favor as he says he is.
