Biden is trying to enforce a seriously flawed immigration statute with very limited resources in a way that is orderly, predictable, and humane. For his pains, he is being attacked in court by both the left and right. Both extremes are having some success in their respective federal forum of choice. Today’s decision by a California judge favoring the left on the latest immigration rule is a case in point.
What is the guy supposed to do? Without a lot more resources and a clear, reasonable legal standard, there is no solution to this problem. At some point, the posturing has to end, and the two sides need to deal with the practical implications of their preferred outcomes.
Update: I’ve read today’s opinion. It makes absolutely no reference whatsoever to the practical problems of dealing with countless thousands of asylum claims in this country. I’m willing to bet that the judge in Amarillo would see it differently.
