1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: Well, I was time for our daily Bloomberg Lab Brief, 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: exploring legal issues in the news. And today Bloomberg Law 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: host Doing Grosso and Greg Stewart discuss a decision by 4 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: the Trump administration to end the Deferred Action for Childhood 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: Arrivals program, which was intended to shield undocumented immigrants who 6 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,799 Speaker 1: came to the US as minors from deportation. They speak 7 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,760 Speaker 1: with David Bierre, a political analyst at the Cato Institute, 8 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: and Margaret Korean, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies. 9 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: So President Trump has signed more than forty executive orders. 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: So David, how can the Attorney General Sessions say that 11 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: President Obama's executive action on DACA was unconstitutional? Well, it's 12 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: certainly inconsistent in terms of the theory of executive power. 13 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: That's being employed in one area is not being employed 14 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: in in the same way in another area. And uh, 15 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, the the DCCA program has existed for since twelve, 16 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: so we have over five years with that for AGRAM. 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: Other programs of a similar nature existed under the H. W. 18 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: Bush administration, that George W. Bush administration. You've had these 19 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: types of deferred action programs for select groups of of 20 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: unauthorized immigrants going back many years, and it really doesn't 21 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: seem any different, uh, except that the administration disagrees with 22 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: the program on policy merits market. Jeff Sessions kept talking 23 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: about the rule of law and in his view that 24 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: DACA is unconstitutional. If that's the case, does it does 25 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: it make sense to let this program go on even 26 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: for six months? Shouldn't the administration have ended it immediately? Well, 27 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: the administration should have ended it in January when they 28 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: took over, and the President has pledged to abolish it 29 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: on day one. So the answer is yes, But you 30 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: also have to deal with practical reality, and what they 31 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: seemed to be doing here is trying to create a 32 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: soft landing for the doctors this is and also create 33 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: a great period for Congress to actually put together legislation 34 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: to properly legalize them. So so the answer is yeah. 35 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 1: Ideally this never should have existed in the first place, 36 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: But like any other unconstitutional usurpation of legislative power by 37 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: the executive, you have to deal with the facts that 38 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: have been created and try to unwind the illegal act, 39 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: because that's the prudent to deal with it, rather than 40 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: simply abolished it. Altogether turned into a punk. I mean 41 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: they could, but you know, prudence demands that you have 42 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: to deal with the facts that you inherit, not the 43 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: facts that you wish you in inherit. And as Mark 44 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: Recury and Executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies 45 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: and David Vieira, political analyst at the Cato Institute, speaking 46 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: with Bloomberg Lahost, Jo and Grosso and Greg Sture.
