Buckwheat Stopped In Federal Court

HOUSTON (AP) - A federal judge has granted a request by a coalition of 26 states to temporarily block President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration while its lawsuit to permanently stop the order goes through the courts.

U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen granted a preliminary injunction Monday, after hearing arguments at a hearing in Brownsville, Texas, in January.

The federal government is expected to appeal Hanen's ruling to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. The Justice Department had no immediate comment.

Obama's executive action aims to spare from deportation as many as five million people who are in the U.S. illegally.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka issued the following statement.

This temporary setback will not deter the AFL-CIO’s work on the ground to ensure that as many workers as possible are eventually able to gain protections and work authorization under the new deferred action programs. Around the country, we will continue educating workers, training union activists and helping eligible applicants gather the documents they will need to qualify.

This lawsuit represents a misguided effort to use a false economic basis to block the immigration relief that millions of hardworking, longtime members of our community deserve. The executive actions on immigration will in fact increase earnings, grow the tax base, strengthen the economy and further the public interest, as states like Washington, California, Illinois and New York have explained to the court. The AFL-CIO supports the Department of Justice's decision to file an appeal, and we trust that higher courts will undo this wrong.

Makes you wonder why the AFL-CIO isn't recruiting members in Mexico, eh? If they were all about workers' rights they would be.

Maybe the membership fees are not as much down there, so the "commissions" aren't as high.
