Appeals court shuts down environmental challenge to DACA immigration

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : The "plaintiffs alleged no facts supporting their allegations that DACA caused illegal immigration," the judge wrote, adding that the claims amounted to "unadorned speculation."
50% : The groups alleged that DHS failed to conduct the kind of environmental review of DACA that is required for major federal actions under NEPA.
38% : Writing for the 9th Circuit panel on Monday, Senior U.S. Circuit Judge Jay Bybee said the plaintiffs lack legal standing to bring claims that DACA entices more immigrants to unlawfully enter the country, straining environmental resources by allowing individuals who have entered illegally as children to remain.
25% : DACA, which was created under former President Barack Obama in 2012, protects immigrants who were brought to the United States as children from deportation.
