The lawsuit is Paxton\u2019s 20th court challenge filed against the Biden administration and Paxton\u2019s 7th on issues related to immigration. The lawsuit is joined by the attorneys general of Arkansas, Alaska, Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, and Oklahoma.<\/p>\n<p>The lawsuit targets President Joe Biden\u2019s reimplementation of the Central American Minors (CAM) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/refugee-admissions\/central-american-minors-cam-program\/\">program<\/a>, which creates a path for certain children who are nationals of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras to apply for refugee status and resettlement in the U.S. The program also opens up legal immigration options for family members of the applicants.<\/p>\n<p>The program began under former President Barack Obama (D) in 2014. The Trump administration repealed the plan in 2017 after judging that the Obama administration had illegally created a pathway to immigration without congressional approval.<\/p>\n<p>Biden restarted the program in June and announced he would expand it to allow children with a parent or legal guardian legally living in the U.S. or who has applied for a visa or asylum in the U.S. The parents or legal guardians of each applicant are also eligible for the CAM program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden Administration has sown nothing but disaster for our country through its illegal, unconstitutional immigration policies,\u201d Paxton said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasattorneygeneral.gov\/news\/releases\/paxton-launches-9th-border-crisis-lawsuit-against-biden-marking-20th-lawsuit-inauguration-day\">statement<\/a>. \u201cBiden\u2019s latest round of flagrant law-breaking includes his Central American Minors Program, which has contributed significantly to many states being forced to take in even more aliens. My fellow attorneys general and I are suing to stop it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myfloridalegal.com\/newsrel.nsf\/newsreleases\/E19FBC24FEEAB004852587D80064CA00?Open&amp;\">press release<\/a> from the office of Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody describes the CAM program the lawsuit: \u201cWhile the program references refugee status, most individuals in the program do not qualify as a refugee. Instead, the government uses parole authority under 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1182. However, that authority is an extraordinarily narrow mechanism to temporarily admit individuals on a case-by-case basis and is limited to circumstances presenting urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. The multistate complaint also argues that the CAM program is arbitrary and capricious, subject to notice and comment, and violates the president\u2019s duty to make sure that the laws are faithfully executed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moody said in a statement: \u201cAfter seeing the chaos in person, it is even more clear to me now that Biden and [Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas] are building their own illegal organization to transport illegal immigrants into and around our country \u2014 thumbing their noses at federal laws. I will not only work aggressively to stop these illegal acts, but I will continue to inform Floridians about what their federal government is actually doing, and the dangers associated with those decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>State Department deputy spokeswoman Jalina Porter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/its-irregular-migration-not-illegal-state-department-says\">announced<\/a> the expanded CAM program at a press briefing in June.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPetitioner eligibility will now be extended to legal guardians, in addition to parents, who are lawfully present in the United States,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cThis expansion will also allow certain parents and legal guardians who have a pending asylum application or a pending U visa petition, filed prior to May 15th, 2021, the ability to reunite with their children. This is just one component of the President\u2019s multi-pronged approach to address the challenges of irregular migration through and from Central America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
