Interesting. The ACLU looks to protect illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens
ACLU to challenge Biden’s border action: ‘Same approach’ as Trump asylum ban
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said Tuesday it planned to sue the Biden administration over a newly unveiled policy that will restrict asylum claims at the southern border.
“The Biden administration just announced an executive order that will severely restrict people’s legal right to seek asylum, putting tens of thousands of lives at risk,” the organization posted on the social platform X.
“This action takes the same approach as the Trump administration’s asylum ban. We will be challenging this order in court,” it added.
The White House on Tuesday took long-expected executive action that will turn away migrants seeking asylum who cross the southern border illegally at times when there is a high volume of daily encounters.
I’m sure they’ll be leading the pack with many other pro-illegal alien groups joining in. Will they be able to find a friendly judge to put the kibosh on the order? What’s the over/under that a judge puts a hold on it before Friday, one who says that the order has no force of law until such time as it can be litigated in court?
Of course, this is all theater: Biden is pretending he’s Doing Something after utterly destroying immigration limits at the border, after opening the floodgates. Even if it goes into effect before the election, the minute the election is over he’ll end it. If the ACLU sues and wins, Brandon can say he tried.
Meanwhile
Biden border crackdown could snip economy
President Joe Biden’s latest attempt to address one of his biggest political liabilities — immigration — could fuel another of his weak spots among voters by sapping strength from the U.S. economy.
The country’s post-Covid-19 rebound stands out from those of other countries, a phenomenon economists say is partly due to immigration, both through legal and unauthorized channels. But the executive action Biden issued Tuesday could stem the number of asylum seekers and other migrants who make their way into the U.S. and provide a vital, often cheap, labor source for employers.

Nationwide, nearly half of the job growth outside of the farming sector since October can be attributed to various immigrant groups, according to a recent analysis by the financial firm Standard Chartered.
Huh, so, Americans aren’t actually getting their lion’s share of the jobs? Exactly what do illegal aliens offer? Government is spending massive amounts on them, giving them food, shelter, clothes, and more while they give back….nothing.
But it wasn’t all good news. CBO estimated that immigration would contribute to inflation, another pressing problem for Biden in this election year. Wages would also rise more slowly over the next 10 years due to the influx of low-skilled workers, according to the agency.
So, immigrants take half the jobs (remember, these are mostly ones who came in on legal pathways for visas, not those coming to the border and demanding asylum, and the legals are not effected by Brandon’s EO) and help increase inflation while deflating wages. Huzzah!
Naturally. The AMERICAN civil liberties union is very concerned with the liberties of non-Americans. Not so much with actual Americans. There was a time when they defended actual Nazis, whom they despised, but did so because the principle of civil liberties was more important to them than the identity of the accused. Those days are long gone.
some people are upset over the fact that all people in the USA have rights that are protected by the Constitution of my country.
Approximately 4 MILLION migrants have gotten Employment Authorization Documents (work permits) those “military aged men” came here to work not sit on their ass.
Their earnings will boost GDP by increasing demand (spending)and adding to wages. Capitalists in the USA NEED more workers, their are 8 million jobs empty right now. McDs company owned stores are short staffed even while offering $15. LOL migrant workers are less likely to join commie inspired unions!
OHHH NO !! Tesla car sales fell by 66% in April! Will they lose their coveted #2 sales spot (second only to the Toyota SUV Rav4) for sales in the 2nd quarter? or will they recover and keep being #2 in USA car sales (that designation des not include light trucks but DOES include SUVs)
Good one, Johnny-“not sit on their ass..”. So why don’t they just get off their ass in their own countries? Wait-so the women and children are staying behind to do all the work that your “military aged males” won’t do?
The ACLU believes the President, in fact ALL Presidents, must obey the laws.
Just as they sued the Trump admin, and the cases reached the Supreme Court, they’ve sued the Biden admin. Back in the day, the SC allowed Trump to use 212(f) to ban Muslims but not asylum seekers. Trump came back with the covid health national emergency and the SC DID permit using Title 42 to restrict asylum seekers.
President Biden is now trying to use 212(f) to limit asylum. We’ll see what the courts say.
Do you believe the Supreme Court values foreigners rights over American’s rights?
