judge hannon's opinion shows why. one aspect which hasn't been appreciated, we need notice of comment. we need rulemaking. how is this program working? we don't exactly know how this policy works. in my research a checklist used by d.h.s. which has no other box. the only way to grant dapa is by checking off a box. the professor admitted in his testimony there are different types being used. do we want to know which ones? no. we need to show the american people, how is this working, then we can go to work. there is one aspect, we can learn what this is doing. we're learning this now after the memo has been released. had texas not filed a lawsuit when it did, this policy would be in effect and no opportunity to challenge it. >> my time's about to expire. this is an incredible response in how poorly done it is in my mind. bottom page 10 it says for what reasons long recognized as valid the responsibility for regulating the relationship between the united states and our alien visitors have committed to the political branc

first, i'd like to get your reaction to the temporary order by judge hannon in texas? >> it's a welcome development in this case. we don't think that the president's executive action is ready for primetime yet because it affects states like ohio in very negative ways. myself, i'm in charge of the elections process in ohio. his executive action gives documents to people who are not citizens of the united states that are the same documents that federal law says that you can use to register to vote, and as a result of that we have no way of knowing whether people using social security numbers are indeed american citizens and eligible to vote. i wrote the president back in january. i asked him for help. we need access to the information to know the difference between citizens and noncitizens when we're conducting elections in ohio and across the country. lou: there are two things happening here contemporaneously, neither of which is helpful to the integrity of our electoral system. one of the things happening is that the president, the attorney general, the justice departm

. >> reporter: judge andrew hannon said homeland security secretary jeh johnson did not follow the law and administrateive rules when he launched the new policies. hannon wrote, the public interest factor that he was the heaviest is ensuring that actses of the executive branch comply with this country's laws and its constitution. the judge is an appointee of former president george w. bush and a sharp critic of president obama's policies. the white house, girding for a fight over its executive angsctions that could affect funding of homeland security said what it did wasn't against the law at all. those policies are consistent with the laws passed by the congress and decisions by the supreme court as well as five decades of precedent by presidents of both parties. attorney general eric holder promised a quick appeal. >> this i would view as an interim step in a process that has more to play out. >> reporter: the ruling means people who are planning on filing for deferred action on immigration for their children starting on wednesday will have to wait. >> these people who were so excite

and in this 123-page opinion by judge hannon, he took on the core argument of the administration which they were simply engaged in using their prosecutorial discretion. he said, look, in 150-page executive memoranda you have so many massive changes in the immigration law it consists of a blanket amnesty to a million people on the basis of being a class. and he said that quote, virtually extinguished discretion and i think it bass pretty strong attack. >> it's a powerful argument. i don't know how it's going to go either. but, i don't know if the courts and judges who decide this thing are are analyzing it on what happens. the extension of president obama's executive order, even though it's delayed he is we are going to have this right after you he doesn't care is he going ahead and implementing federal policy even though the judge held it up. is he insulting the federal judge number one. number two it is absolute amnesty that these people who entered illegally or who were don't have papers to be here, are going to have every right that americans have. it is amnesty. will the judges in

there is no question as judge hannon said in his opinion.re is a wide berth for prosecutorial discretion. i don't think you will get a lot of argument about that. this goes so much further than any prosecutorial discretion that has ever been exerted. if this was allowed, then congress's role is abdicated. why would congress take year after year to debate these issues if the president is able to take a scope that we had never seen before, and in a addition, at benefits on top of simply deciding to not deport. >> we saw that kind of syntax change when we heard you can keep your insurance policy if you want to as well, but it makes no sense at we have these arguments. my time is up, mr. chairman. i yield back. >> we will recognize the gentleman from new york. >> i'm surprised to hear the attorney general of the great state confused political statements with legal statements. it's interesting in a political bait and political discussion. they are not interesting -- what is interesting is an relevant as the attorney general should know, as everyo

the obama administration will file this request for an emergency stay of this order by judge andrew hannon. we expect that will be filed in the next few hours. the problem here is they will ask the same judge to put a stay on his own order, which stopped the homeland security department from keeping -- from preparing to implement the president's immigration order. so that's why experts believe this is a long shot for this judge to put a stay on his own order. after this the administration is likely to go to the fifth circuit, which is in new orleans and considered a conservative court. you can see here there is an uphill climb for the administration as they face -- the clock is running out on this administration next year. they really want to start working on this order before time runs out. >> so what's the game plan if a stay is not granted? >> reporter: well the white house says that firmly believe they're going to win this one. here's josh earnest talking about this on friday. >> the u.s. government will be appealing the decision. the reason for that is we continue to believe that ther

judge andrew hannon wrote that dhs secretary jay johnson is not just rewriting the laws, he is creating them from scratch. the obama administration has vowed to appeal that ruling, although hasn't yet. here to react we have senator ted cruz and judge napolitano. we go first to the judge. judge, how bad is it for the administration? >> this is devastating for the administration. this is a preliminary injunction which means the court viewed the court's documents and challenger's documents the attorneys generals of 26 states. at the end of the case, the challengers will probably prevail, meaning the president probably overstepped his bounds and he has ordered the department of homeland security to create new law. and two, if he does not impose the temporary restraints that he imposed last night, actually irreparable harm will be visited upon the 26 states. >> what was about to happen on wednesday, tomorrow, is the administration was about to start issuing paperwork for these illegal immigrants, and actually doing things to help the transition take place. and the judge said, no you are aski

joining us daniel hannon, a british member of the european parliament. good evening, sir. what is your theory as to why so many westerners, so many of them are flocking to isis? >> he will, you know because it stands for something. it stands to us for something horrible. but unquestionably something certain. it has this apocalyptic self-confidence. and there is some young men, particularly, in every age, in every nation who are attracted by that confidence. and they contrast it with the kind of milk and water insipid values that they see propagated in education in the west. and lacking a powerful patriotic identity at home they grope around -- >> well, you have op-ed written and in part you talk in the op. ed that you take a slap in the direction of president obama criticizing him for an apology tour can you explain that sir? >> right. it's important to have common identity in every country. something that people can be patriotic about. they feel binds them together, wherever their parent or grand patient came from. something would would we can all believe in. when you go

. >> when you look at judge hannon's opinion from last week, he doesn't dispute whether or not deferredion is legal or not. >> i understand. but either side will move here to appeal at the fifth circuit court whoever loses, goes to the fifth circuit and goes to the supreme court and that will be on the merits. >> and the merits of this are that the administration does have prosecutorial discretion in terms of how to utilize their enforcement resources. that's the issue at hand here. >> the issue too, i think has to be what is in the national interest and the supreme court will be making all of these judgments, and then there's going to be the matter of trying to resolve and fix the broken immigration system. it's interesting that the president still has done nothing with citizen immigration services he's brought in an extra thousand people to try to service it. we are looking at a disastrous procedural process here for those people. he is giving work permits to them. and the numbers are changing. we are hearing those numbers are significantly higher than has been reported to the america

district judge andrew hannon in texas gave a coalition of 26 states time to pursue a lawsuit that aims to permanently stop the orders. that ruling puts on hold the's orders that could spare more than four million people in the u.s. illegally from deportation. in a statement the white house said monday's ruling prevents the president's lawful rule to take effect. and some reaction from cap toll hill house speaker john boehner released a statement that reads in part: hopefully, senate democrats will now let the senate begin a debate on a bill to fund the homeland security department. >> this week while congress is in recess booktv and american history tv are in prime time. beginning tonight at 8 eastern, c-span2's booktv features programs on topics like the war on terror with conversations on the report on torture the green berets and the guantanamo diary. on wednesday it's world affairs talking about china's secret plan to replace america citizen a super power, the egyptian revolution and the emerging crisis in europe. on thursday, politics and the white house from our "after words" pro

his name, andrew hannon. he's a u.s. district judge. he says without the preliminary injunction states would suffer irreparable harm in this case. he said the presence of millions of people would be virtually irreversible. the white house had been hoping to expand a program that would protect young immigrants from deportation if they had been brought here illegally as kids. it was set to take place as early as wednesday. that will not happen. the white house in issuing a statement, they're saying they're obviously going to appeal this in new orleans to the fifth circuit, the department of justice legal scholars, immigration experts all agree. they say the president was well within his legal authority to come up with this executive action. but thanks to judge andrew hannon, a u.s. district judge, at least for now amnesty is on hold. guys? >> kevin corke live in d.c. with the latest. >> wonder if homeland security will get funded now? maybe the republicans will say let's fund homeland security for awhile. we'll find out what the higher co

will act responsibly to say -- and if you don't know what irresponsibility is then look at judge hannon's opinion. he spells it out. this president didn't even have the gumption to write an executive order and sign it. he spoke his new amnesty law into being and then jae johnson did a memo. that took the power of congress away from us so the question on acting responsibly is, do we make that message clear we're not having laws spoken into being in this country and having some bureaucrat unelected, come around with a memo that undoes laws by different congresses all these years signed by different presidents with a memo? come on. it's time to act responsibly. now is the time. please. i know party divisions run deep, but stand with us for the constitution. i yield back. mr. carter: reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas reserves. the gentlewoman from california is recognized. ms. roybal-allard: madam speaker, i yield one minute to the gentlewoman from california, ms. pelosi, democratic leader of the house. the speaker pro temre gentlemafr cifni ms. poss recognized for on

district court judge andrew hannon has blocked obama's amnesty from going into effect. not surprisingly, the administration is now appealing. as the legal process works its way through the courts, congress must continue to stand strong and fight the president's unlawful amnesty. just this month, i exposed obama's empty words that illegals getting amnesty would be paying taxes. you know, the i.r.s. commissioner confirmed that obama's amnesty will in fact allow the i.r.s. to give illegals thousands of dollars. these tax refunds aren't refunds in the usual sense but amnesty checks from the i.r.s. this is wrong. i'm working on legislation to stop it. law-abiding and hardworking american taxpayers deserve nothing less. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlelady from new york seek recognition? without objection. mrs. maloney: mr. speaker the republicans are playing politics with the security of the american people and the american people deserve better. what was absolutely laughable a few days ago, it now appe

. >> reporter: in a lot of circles judge andrew hannon is the man of the hour for standing up for the rule of law and blocking the president. if you think of it in football terms this is the first quarter of a very long battle. the white house would like to shield the children who were brought here illegally from being deported. we're talking probably millions of people. while the plan is on hold for now the president not only says he'll appeal it, he says the planning process continues. >> for those who are now wondering whether or not they should apply, we are going to refer those questions to the department of homeland security that's already begun the planning process and we will be prepared to implement this fully as soon as the legal issues get resolved. >> the administration is printing work authorizations. it is affirmatively acting in contravention of federal law. basically what it's doing is counterfeiting immigration documents. >> senator ted cruz of texas went on to tell megyn kelly in the background of this is fighting for funding for the department of homeland security.
