One More Idiot Judge

Once again a single judge has thwarted efforts to keep America from being overrun by illegals:

A federal judge has put a halt on a planned White House crackdown on employers who hire illegal immigrants while she considers a lawsuit filed by the AFL-CIO claiming the move would harm citizens and those working in the U.S. legally, the Washington Post reported on Saturday.

The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge Maxine M. Chesney, bars the Department of Homeland Security from sending mail notices to 140,000 employers about suspect Social Security numbers.

The AFL-CIO and the American Civil Liberties Union say that DHS is going beyond its mandate to enforce immigration laws and is misusing the Social Security Administration’s database, according to the report.

"We're disappointed by the delay and expect to prevail once the court has the benefit of full briefing and argument," DHS spokeswoman Laura Keehner said.

She added that Homeland Security will continue other immigration enforcement programs.

I think there will only be a temporary delay because when this thing gets in front of a decent panel of judges, they'll see that the AFL and ACLU have no merit to their claims. There's no constitutional protection for identity theft and other illegal conduct required to make the ACLU's case.
