Federal U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte blocked Trump's executive order that allowed states to veto refugees resettlement and said Trump's order was unlawful and it borders on Orwellian Newspeak for the administration to claim that the order is meant to merely enhance the consultation between the federal government and the states and localities. It grants them veto power, period, the judge wrote in his order. And giving that veto power to the states and local governments flies in the face of clear Congressional intent.
The bottom line is the judge has the awareness that congress is the body that has to address immigration reform and not executive orders from the President And for those who read PolitiDose understands that because it has exposed Trump and the republican party in congress for their failure to address immigration reform with legislation and they have had 35 months to do so. Yet, all Trump and his party have on immigration reform is their sorry rhetoric. This is the same bunch who proclaimed during the 2016 Presidential campaign, they would address immigration reform after the 2016 election. Yeah, right!!!
