INVASION U.S.A. IS REAL!!!!
NO AMNESTY FOR ILLEGALS!
Federal Judge Appointed by Obama in 2010, Beryl Howell Throws Out Sheriff Arpaio's Immigration Suit Against President Obama!
(Yahoo/Reuters) - A federal judge on Tuesday threw out a lawsuit brought against Barack Obama by an Arizona police chief who called the U.S. presidents sweeping immigration reforms unconstitutional, saying the plaintiff lacked legal standing in the case.
Judge Beryl Howell (Appointed by Obama in 2010!) of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied the demand by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for a preliminary injunction to halt the policies.
Arpaio, who calls himself Americas Toughest Sheriff, filed the case last month, saying Obama had overstepped his powers by bypassing Congress and ordering the changes himself.
Arpaios lawsuit said the reforms, which eased the threat of deportation for about 4.7 million undocumented immigrants, amounted to an amnesty and would encourage more people to cross the border illegally.
Beryls 33-page decision said Arpaio did not meet the legal requirements to qualify as a person of standing in bringing the case on constitutional grounds.
The biggest overhaul to immigration in a generation has set up a confrontation between the president and Republicans, who will take full control of Congress in January and have said the president had gone too far by imposing the changes.
Obama has dismissed Republican accusations that the changes amounted to an amnesty for illegal immigrants.
White House spokesman Eric Schultz said Howells decision confirms that the presidents executive actions on immigration are lawful.
An Arizona federal judge in May 2013 ruled that deputies of Arpaios office had racially profiled Latino drivers.
The judge ordered that race no longer be used as a factor in law enforcement decisions and appointed a court monitor to oversee Arpaios operations.
Arpaio has denied that racial profiling occurred and has appealed against the judges ruling.
