#b4 ,findings ,congress finds the       
following3 7#a7 ,in #aiij1 the ,george  
,h4,w4 ,bush administration first used  
,deferred ,enforced ,departure 7,,ded7  
to avoid removing aliens present in the 
,united ,states whose home countries    
could not accept their safe return4     
,,ded has no statutory basis in the

,the constitutional powers to conduct   

foreign relations of the ,president are 
cited as a basis for ,,ded4 ,however1   
when the executive branch defers the    
removal of aliens1 it is an immigration 
benefit1 not a foreign policy function4 
,congress has plenary power over        
immigration1 giving it almost complete  
authority to decide whether certain     
aliens may enter or remain in the       
,united ,states4  7#c7 ,in #aiij1       
,congress established ,temporary        
,protected ,status 7,,tps7 as a part of 
the ,immigration ,act of #aiij to       
provide temporary protection from       
removal for foreign nationals whose home
 countries face ongoing armed conflict1 
environmental disaster1 or other        
extraordinary circumstances preventing  
their safe return home4  7#d7 ,,ded

,kong1 and ,lebanon4  7#f7 ,article #a1 
section #h1 clause #ah of the           
,constitution gives ,congress clear     
jurisdiction on immigration matters4    
,the use of ,,ded through sole executive
 action undermines ,congress's authority
 to regulate immigration programs in the
 ,united ,states4 ,congress created     
,,tps to provide certain aliens relief  
from removal under similar              
life-threatening circumstances4  #c4 ,no
