Ninth Circuit Lifts Injunctions Blocking Trump Admin's ‘Public Charge' Rule for Immigrants
h/t Instapundit
A federal appeals court on Thursday lifted several injunctions that were blocking the Trump administration’s rule restricting immigration eligibility for individuals deemed likely to become public charges.

"Public charge" denotes immigrants who are likely to require government assistance, such as food stamps or Medicaid. The Trump administration had moved to restrict the number of new immigrants who would require such assistance, but several courts blocked the rule in October before it could take effect.

In its 2-1 decision, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals stayed preliminary injunctions against the administration’s rule from federal courts in Washington and California. The rule is still blocked nationwide by courts in Maryland and New York, which the decision by the Ninth Circuit do not overturn.
Change. And, hope?

#1 Anyone earning less than average wage is a public charge.

Infrastructure costs per person are roughly the tax on average wage.

The subsidy to immigration tends to be picked up by the establishment through lower wages and higher rents.

#2 It was in the law made by Congress. The Constitution says Congress makes those laws not the Judiciary*.

Section 8
4. To establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States;

* Not that the Constitution has been any restriction of the judiciary to ever expand its powers on purview since the middle of the 20th Century.

#6 Ninth Circuit is currently 13 - 16 Republican vs Democrat appointees. Senate will vote next week on replacing 2 of the older R appointees with fresh recruits. Interestingly, 6 of the D appointees are in their 70's or above. Another Trump term would almost certainly flip this court.

#7 So how come a single Federal Judge can make a nationwide ban - but a Circuit Court cannot lift the ban nationwide?
