The rulings by Florida’s conservative federal Judge T. Kent Wetherell, denying the illegal “parole” schemes cooked up by Alejandro Mayorkas, continue to remain in force. The federal appeals court denied a request by federal attorneys for a stay of two controversial rulings on June 12. It’s time for Cueball to go back to his drawing board and try to come up with a way to let thousands of new citizens loose on America.
Parole with conditions
Alejandro Mayorkas thought he could bypass the ruling of Pensacola-based U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell that his Parole Plus Alternatives to Detention scheme was totally illegal and exceeded his authority. He changed the name to “Parole with Conditions” and cheerfully continued releasing migrants into the United States.
Wetherell reamed him a new one for such an obvious act of contempt. He was nice enough not to charge him for it, though. Not this time.
Mayorkas keeps complaining that he needs to set them all free to ease the overcrowding. That’s misleading because if he was really interested in following Immigration Law, he would be deporting 99 out of 100 who come streaming through the door. His plan was to hand them all a cell phone and grant them parole by the thousands.

The problem with that is it’s totally illegal. He’s still fighting it in court but was hoping a liberal leaning panel of judges would lift the onerous orders slapped down on him by that Trump-appointed meanie. They popped his bubble.
On Monday, a panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody and rejected the request. Moody officially filed a challenge to the Parole Plus Alternatives to Detention program in March. When Judge Wetherell shot it down, he extensively used quite colorful language to describe how Mayorkas made a mockery of the law by turning our border into a meaningless line in the sand.
He had other choice things to say about how the migrant processing of illegals was nothing but a minor speed bump and his complaints of overcrowding like a child who killed their parents then whined about being an orphan. He should have seen his overcrowding problem coming two years ago. Everyone else did and fought tooth and nail against it.
Irreparable harms
Keeping all those new citizens in custody until they have a verified valid asylum claim and a firm court date would cause “irreparable harm” because there are way too many of them. Making them comply with the law will also mean deporting the vast majority, for one disqualification or another. They can’t vote in the 2024 election that way. They need parole.
Then that can be morphed into citizenship with “amnesty” as soon as rightful President Trump and all his deplorable supporters in the House are out of the way.
Judge Wetherell’s orders, lawyers for Mayorkas argue, “frustrate the most effective measures available to DHS to secure the border while protecting the health and welfare of USBP agents and noncitizens during periods of increased border encounters that require immediate action by USBP to avoid overwhelming DHS capacity.” The situation without parole is dire. “DHS faces an exigent situation at the southwest border.”

It’s so urgent, pressing and in need of immediate attention because migrants lined up in Mexico found a loophole that they can use to come walking right in. Since the CBP One App has so many technical glitches and translation issues, they can claim they tried it, had problems, so now they’re here. “Process me, please.” Our agents have no choice because they’re exactly right.
The appeals court “questioned the arguments about harms.” They kind of liked what Judge Wetherell had to say about the parole scheme. They also added that the Department of Homeland Security’s “claims of irreparable injury ring somewhat hollow on this record, considering the department’s track record of overstating similar threats in the underlying (district court) proceedings.” Mayorkas is hallucinating.
“The department’s ability to ascertain future harm is uncertain at best,” said the eight-page decision, written by Judge Barbara Lagoa and joined fully by Judge Robert Luck. “Given this record, we take DHS’s latest claims of impending disaster if it is not allowed to use either of the challenged policies with some skepticism.“
