Trump admin agreed to restart DACA because of fear of 'disruption'

Not every action Trump takes is good.  This is one of the bad ones.

As previously reported, when a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restart the "DREAMer" program, the Trump administration appealed the decision but purposefully did not request a stay of the judge's order, obediently restarting the machinery of legalization for illegal aliens brought the U.S. as children.

Now the Trump administration has explained its rationale for failing to request that the judge's order to restart the DREAMer program be stayed:

In the new filing, [Solicitor Geneal] Francisco says officials concluded that a stay that the Supreme Court might eventually withdraw and reverse posed too much risk of disruption and confusion. "A primary purpose of the [Homeland Security] [a]cting [s]ecretary's orderly wind-down of the DACA policy was to avoid the disruptive effects on all parties of abrupt shifts in the enforcement of the [n]ation's immigration laws," the solicitor general wrote. "Inviting more changes before final resolution of this litigation would not further that interest." So let's examine the sequence of events.

1. Before the judge's order was issued, the DACA program was shut down.
2. Then the judge's order came to restart it.
3. Rather than first seeking a stay of the judge's order from the Supreme Court, to keep the program shut down, as it already was, the Trump administration felt that it was less disruptive to restart the DACA program and then prevail at the Supreme Court level some months from now and get it shut down again.

This makes absolutely no sense. It is more disruptive to restart a program and then stop it again than it is never to restart it in the first place. ............To Read More.....
