Judge blocks Homeland Security and SSA on illegals

Judge extends block on illegal worker plan | Reuters: "SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A U.S. federal court judge on Monday extended an order preventing the Department of Homeland Security from launching a controversial new program to root out illegal immigrants in the nation's workforce."

What this article describes is a very bizarre action taken to keep illegal aliens in this country. We find the US courts, the AFL-CIO, ACLU, and varied civil liberties and business groups acting in concert, challenging Homeland Security's and the Social Security Administration's plan to identify illegals and stop illegal activity done by them.

Particularly of note, the SSA is trying to get a handle on people using social security numbers whose names do not match those numbers; this is, of course, identity theft, which is a felony, yet this judge has blocked SSA's effort. He is effectively promoting the felonious activity, because apparently he feels that this type of action may be discriminatory. Shit you not, he said this in his decision. So I suppose, now that I think about it from the judge's perspective, that all actions against criminal activity might be deemed "discriminatory," since those actions are leveled only against the lawbreakers and not everyone. I have a headache.

Read the article and see how even when your government tried to protect you, other elements of that same government thwarted those efforts.

My thoughts are that citizens need a recourse to recall lawmakers and judges who will not adhere to our own damned law.
