A Small Victory for Due Process
As the US government continues the unconstitutional raids on America's immigrant population, there has been a small, but significant victory against The Bush administration's denial of basic human rights:
A federal judge in San Francisco today ordered an indefinite delay on a central measure of the Bush administration’s new strategy to curb illegal immigration.
The judge, Charles R. Breyer of federal court for the Northern District of California, said the government had failed to follow proper procedures for issuing a new rule aimed at getting employers to fire illegal employees whose Social Security numbers can not be immediately verified.
He chastised the Department of Homeland Security for making a policy change with “massive ramifications” for employers, without giving any legal explanation or conducting a required survey of the costs and impact for small business.
You see, immigrant rights can be respected, as long as the rights of business are threatened as well.
