Attorney General Merrick Garland vacated two Trump-era immigration orders Wednesday that had made it difficult for many immigrants entering the U.S. to win their asylum cases. Garland said in a statement that immigration court judges should ignore both decisions until they undergo a rulemaking process with public comment. The first, known as the Matter of A-B, issued by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, made it nearly impossible for victims of domestic violence or gang violence to qualify for asylum. Sessions had said women unable to leave violent relationships did not count as a "particular social group" under the definition of asylum. CORRECTION*

We are told the guy is one of the great legal minds of our generation. That it is a terrible thing that he was denied a place on the highest court in the land. All I see is a partisan hack. A person willing to do the bidding of his leaders, as long as they keep promoting him. Leftists have no integrity.

I’m beginning to think the only way the country can resolve the immigration issue will be when the Democrats and liberal judges are affected by their stupid policies. Much as I would hate to see it happen, it might open their eyes when a family member is killed by one of the thieves, drug dealers and sexual predators pouring across the border.

Merrick was Obama's designated moderate nominee to the Supreme Court. Thank God that McConnell had the wisdom to see through that subterfuge and torpedo the nomination. Bad enough as AG, but much worse as Justice.

#1, it is far worse than lack of integrity. They are nothing less than evil. Diabolical. Demonic. Satanic. Pick your favorite word.

I thought that executive orders was Jill Biden's job with the help of Barack Obama and Susan Rice?

It's over. This along with mail in ballots, possibly an amnesty and a campaign slogan of "More free stuff. Vote for me !" will ensure a republican minority for a very long time.

I didn't know the AG could make law but I saw this in the article: "made through the attorney general's unique "certification" power "
So OK then.

Good call #12, and my guess is this previously unknown portal will now become well exercised ushering in LOTS of new laws without benefit of actual lawmaking processes.

Just about every women in the Islamic World, or any other foreign region, who makes a usually self-serving and unprovable claim that she left a violent relationship where ever, by now being considered a member of a particular social group for asylum purposes by the Biden crew and the leftist and socialist Democrats will now qualify for asylum in the USA. All they have to do is get to a USA borderline and apply for asylum. After being granted asylum in the USA, and after some passage of time, the woman can then claim that she has reconciled with her spouse who supposedly perpetrated the violent relationship in the first place and bring him to the USA as her immediate relative.
On immigration matters the Biden crew has been a joke from the get-go. Obviously their objective is to flood the USA with asylum applicants, illegal aliens, legal immigrants, refugees and whatever other foreigners who they can get into the USA, allow them to stay, legalize almost all though Democrat designed “path to citizenship amnesties, and transform them into future leftist and socialist Democrat voters, thus overwhelming the “deplorable” Republican vote in enough areas of the country to keep the leftist and socialist Democrats in political power permanently controlling the Congress and the White House. Don’t ever think that the leftist and socialist Democrats are not politically using the immigration laws to gain permanent political power, and do not believe that when their plan succeeds that they will not have generated tens of millions of foreign born leftist and socialist voters and be able to thus transform the USA into a socialist utopia. Clearly most of the wimpy Republicans are scared to death that if they speak out about that politicization of the immigration laws by the leftist and socialist Democrats, that those Democrats will play the so-called “race card” against them, as almost all the foreigners being allowed into the USA by the Democrats are characterized by them as being “people of color”.

Remember how the Dems tried to pass Garland off as a moderate. I'm so happy McConnell stuck to his guns on this one.
As McConnell said there won't be any SC Approvals in the Biden term.

Merrick Garland is a traitor to the U.S. Constitution and needs to be held accountable for his treasonous actions.

Then the anti-Americans run for office and set about ruining the Republic. In the past, immigrants (for the most part) loved this country, would fight for her and defend her to the point of death. Now too many are joining the "death to America" faction.
The Biden admin is facilitating it. I believe that the minions running the show are quislings and traitors.
EVERYTHING they are doing harms the American people, nothing helps the country. How else can we describe the behavior?
