Biden says US will appeal 'Dreamers' ruling and Congress must act

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Texas claimed it had spent at least $250 million annually providing education, health care and law enforcement services to undocumented immigrants, which justifies court protection from the program's financial harm.
59% : Texas, in addition to the DACA challenge, also persuaded a federal judge to block the plan Biden announced after taking office in January to halt deportations of undocumented immigrants for 100 days.
58% : As much as this court might agree with these sentiments, and as popular as this program might be, the proper origination point for DACA was, and is, Congress."
58% : Hanen's decision ultimately sets the case back on track to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in June 2020 that Trump couldn't arbitrarily end DACA without following federal rule-making procedures and providing a good explanation.
54% : The Department of Justice intends to appeal this decision in order to preserve and fortify DACA."
38% : Friday's ruling was no surprise, given Hanen's previous conclusion in a related case that DACA appeared unconstitutional but that ending it would be like trying to unscramble an egg.
36% : Representatives of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who spearheaded the states' fight against DACA, didn't immediately respond to phone and email requests for comment.
32% : But the judge indicated DACA might yet be saved if the Biden administration gave the public time to comment on a new version of DACA before a reconstituted program is put into place.
26% : The Texas challenge asked the same legal question in reverse, whether former president Barack Obama violated federal procedures when he implemented DACA without congressional approval in 2012.
