Judge Puts the Brakes on Biden’s Amnesty Plan

A federal judge hit pause on the Biden administration’s latest attempt to hand out amnesty like candy.

This time it was focused on illegal immigrants who married U.S. citizens.

The “Keeping Families Together” program was Biden’s latest brainstorm.

Despite the emotionally charged name, that program actually undermines American families and the judge wasn’t having it.

And so, over 1,000,000 illegals immigrants don’t get a free pass to become citizens.

U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker was the one that issued the legal roadblock.

The Biden Administration sure loves to hand out citizenships.

Thankfully they’re on the way out.

The Gateway Pundit reports:

A federal judge temporarily blocked another illegal effort by the Biden regime to give amnesty to illegal aliens who are married to U.S. citizens.

The Biden regime recently announced a program called “Keeping Families Together” that would have given amnesty to individuals who have entered the country illegally and consequently married an American citizen.

U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker issued an administrative stay just days after 16 Republican states, filed a challenge against the program, which would open up a pathway to citizen for up to a million illegal immigrants.

In his ruling, Barker, a Trump appointee said that the plaintiff’s arguments were “substantial and warrant closer consideration than the court has been able to afford to date.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who helped spearhead the lawsuit, argued that it “directly violates the rules created by Congress” and was used for “blatant political purposes.”

Both Paxton and America First Legal celebrated the ruling, pointing out that it incentivized criminality.

BREAKING: We have temporarily BLOCKED Biden's unlawful new "parole in place" program.

Biden's unconstitutional scheme would have rewarded over 1 million illegal aliens with the opportunity for citizenship after breaking our country's laws—and incentivized countless more.
