As we know, President Obama has supported a move to stall deportation in the United States and allow five million illegal immigrants to stay in the country. However, United States district judge, Arthur Schwab, who was appointed to his position by George W. Bush, ruled that Obamas new rule on immigration is unconstitutional.
The decision came from judge Schwab in a case involving an illegal immigrant who had been deported previously, and now faced charges of illegal re-entry into the country and drunk driving. Many argue that this case is not applicable to the new movement because it was only meant to apply to civl, not criminal, proceedings. But Judge Schwab said that the immigrant could have benefitted from Obama's plan and therefore it was not in line with the Constitution.
The United States Justice Department said that the Pittsburgh judge had no right to make the ruling, and that it will have no impact of the implementation of Obama's movement because the case was a criminal case and the new policy did not apply.
