President Obama on Monday confirmed the bad news for up to 5 million illegal immigrants in this country: He has called a halt to Department of Homeland Security preparations to shield them from the threat of deportation because his executive orders have become seriously bogged down in a court challenge.
Speaking during a news conference at the conclusion of the G7 Summit in the Bavarian town of Kruen, Germany, Obama said that his executive orders will require an elaborate “administrative apparatus” in order to be carried out. But a series of legal setbacks in the federal courts have stymied the government’s intention to move ahead with the program.
“I made a decision, which I think is the right one that we should not accept applications until the legal status of this is clarified,” he told reporters. “I don’t want to bring people in…have them jump through a lot of hoops and have the process delayed further.”
The Washington Post reported yesterday that since a federal judge in Texas first blocked the new immigration reform policy in February, DHS has suspended plans to hire as many as 3,100 new employees to implement the president’s executive orders. Most of those new employees were to be assigned to an 11-story building the government had leased for $7.8 million in suburban Arlington, Va. That building is currently virtually empty of workers.
