Govt urges dismissal of lawsuit over immigration
Posted: Dec 16, 2014
The Obama administration is urging dismissal of a lawsuit that would dismantle the president's immigration program, an initiative designed to spare nearly 5 million people in the U.S. illegally from deportation.
The case was brought by an Arizona sheriff, Joe Arpaio, who contends that President Barack Obama's program serves as a magnet for more illegal entries into the U.S. Arpaio says the new arrivals will commit crimes and thus burden his law enforcement resources.
In a court filing late Monday, the Justice Department told U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell that the sheriff's theory is speculative and unsubstantiated and that Arpaio has failed to show he will suffer any injury at all from the federal government's program.
The sheriff's challenge to the federal program is "meritless," the Justice Department said in its court filing.
The Justice Department said the federal program "does not grant legal status to any alien. Rather, it authorizes a temporary exercise of prosecutorial discretion on a case-by-case basis for certain individuals who have been in the United States since 2010 and have deep ties to the community."
The department said the Supreme Court has made clear that the federal government has broad discretion on immigration enforcement.
Arpaio's lawsuit was filed within hours of the Nov. 20 announcement of Obama's immigration effort. Separately, 24 states have gone to court alleging that Obama violated constitutional limits on presidential power. The state lawsuit says the president's action by executive order will exacerbate the humanitarian crisis along the southern border.
Arpaio's lawsuit says Obama is "hijacking" existing immigration regulation and law, creating a radically new and different regime.
Arpaio has often clashed with the federal government over the enforcement of immigration laws and he has filed suit to stop new policies announced by Obama.
The federal initiative marks the most sweeping changes to the nation's immigration laws in nearly three decades and set off a fierce fight with Republicans.
Obama has never visited the southern border. If you have ever lived in one of the border states and have witnessed the disgusting scene of trash littering it, left behind by illegal aliens, you would probably be disgusted also.

Illegal Immigrants Trash Border Lands With Tons Of Waste - ProMT
[ In Reply To ..]A little-known side of the heated Mexican border security issue is that government workers risk their lives to clean up the huge amounts of trash left by illegal immigrants in secluded desert areas with rigorous terrain.
The job is becoming increasingly difficult and dangerous as illegal aliens use more remote paths to avoid stepped up enforcement along the vast U.S.-Mexico border, according to testimony delivered recently by the director of Arizona’s Department of Environmental Quality. The state official, Henry Darwin, recently testified before an Arizona Senate committee in charge of border security and other related matters.
Each year illegal immigrants leave behind an estimated 2,000 tons of trash—including soiled diapers, plastic bottles and abandoned vehicles—in public Arizona lands along the border, Darwin said, and it’s becoming tougher to clean up the huge mess. “These are dangerous areas,” Darwin told the panel. “These are known areas of illegal immigration, illegal drug trafficking.”
Getting cleanup crews and equipment to these increasingly remote portions of the desert is, not only tough, but also hazardous. Camp sites set up by illegal immigrants and drug smugglers are the most difficult to clean up, Darwin said, and rain often washes trash into drainages before state workers have a chance to clean it up.
The problem is so severe that the state created a special web site dedicated to trash along Arizona’s 370-mile border with Mexico. It includes pictures of southern border areas covered with piles of waste as well as alarming statistics. For instance, the thousands of tons of trash discarded by illegal immigrants annually is having a detrimental environmental impact and affecting the area’s human health and the economic wellbeing.
Listed examples include strewn trash and piles, illegal trails and paths, erosion and watershed degradation, damaged infrastructure and property and loss of vegetation and wildlife. There is also lots of vandalism, graffiti and damage to historical and archaeological sites. Adding insult to injury, taxpayers pick up the exorbitant tab to clean it up. This so-called “landfill fee” ranges from $37 to $49 per ton in southern Arizona and that doesn’t even include costs for materials, equipment, labor and transportation.
For years American taxpayers have financed never-ending cleanup efforts along the southern border. That’s because millions of pounds of trash and human waste are left by illegal immigrants who cross through federal and state parks during their trek from Mexico into the U.S. A few years ago the federal government invested $63 million to clean up 25 million pounds of trash in the country’s most prized national forests, including Arizona’s Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge and California’s Cleveland National Forest.
The effort barely put a dent on the problem because federal officials say the trash piles up at a much faster rate than it can be cleaned up. This continues to “cause extraordinary damage to natural resources and facilities,” according to congressional testimony delivered a few years ago by a high-ranking U.S. Forest official.

Picture shows an awful lot of stuff---most - likely belongings
[ In Reply To ..]left behind when they were required to flee, either from being caught or taken to detention centers. Why would people bring that much stuff with them to just leave it behind? It isn't all trash.
This mess is created by U.S. policies that treat these people like animals. President Obama's immigration initiate will add dignity to people's lives, current U.S. citizens as well as immigrants.
Illegal alien trash includes dirty diapers, - ProMT
[ In Reply To ..]used condoms, feces, food packaging, etc. I didn't think you could handle looking at some of that "stuff."
How much dignity does one have - ProMT
[ In Reply To ..]to enter a country illegally, leave massive amounts of garbage behind them for someone else to clean up, and then feel entitled for taxpaying Americans to support you? My definition of dignity differs extremely from yours.
I guess you've never seen what was once a beautiful desert. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]It used to be pristine wilderness in all of nature's glory. It is now marred by trash and God knows what else from ILLEGAL crossings from Mexico into the USA.
And yet our *American* flag-wavers seem - to have no problem whatsoever - sm
