WEBVTT - Bloomberg Law Brief: Trump’s Impending Decision on DACA (Audio)

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>And now it's time for our daily Bloomberg Law Brief,

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>exploring legal issues in the news. Today, Bloomberg Law hosts

0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:09.719
<v Speaker 1>June Grosso and Greig Store discussed the possibility the President

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:13.399
<v Speaker 1>Trump could rescind the d A c A Program or

0:00:13.440 --> 0:00:17.279
<v Speaker 1>Deferred Action for childhood or Rivals, which was put in

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>place by President Obama and protects nearly six hundred thousand immigrants.

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>They speak to David Buyer, an immigration policy analyst at

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>the Cato Institute, and Jessica Vaughan, director of Policy studies

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.879
<v Speaker 1>at the Center for Immigration Studies. David, before we get

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:38.480
<v Speaker 1>into what Trump might do, let's discuss where we are legally. UH.

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>If Texas in the other states did amend their existing

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>lawsuit to go after DHAKA, would they be likely to succeed?

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>I would think they probably would succeed based on the

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 1>prior rulings from that district cord as well as the

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Shit Circuit Court of Appeals. The President or his administration

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>does not have the authority to grant lawful presence to

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>people who are in the country illegally, which is what

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>DOCCA does and UM Ultimately, as a result of that,

0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>it's likely that UH, this UH program would end through

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>the court system. We have a more conservative Supreme Court

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>now than we did when they ruled on the program

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 1>in so it's likely that the Supreme Court would agree

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>with the Fifth Circuit Jessica. Donald Trump has softened, at

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>least in the press on the issue, at one point

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 1>tell the Associated Press that the affected young immigrants could

0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>quote rest easy. The Department of Homeland Security has continued

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>to grant two year renewable DOCTA work permits. What is

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Trump likely to do well? I wish I knew um,

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>but he has a number of options. One thing he

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 1>could do is too simple. Stop issuing new work permits

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>to people who didn't have DOCCA before, because in effect,

0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>what he has been doing is expanding the DOCTA program.

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>What remains to be seen as will he continued to

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>renew these work permits for the people that had them,

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 1>and that is very questionable also, and it has been

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>clear from the actions of ICE that people who have

0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>DOCCA are not priorities for enforcement unless they have committed

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>crimes or been causing some kind of other problems in

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>their communities. You know, maybe what he should do a

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>lot of people think the best thing would be to

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>give Congress a deadline and say, look, you need to

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>do something in the next six months or all of

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>these people are going to start losing their eligibility to work.

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 1>That's Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:58.359
<v Speaker 1>for Immigration Studies, and David Buyer, an immigration policy analysts

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.560
