This is morally and ethically wrong. If the H4 visa holder has the right to work in the past then you can't revoke it. Those already working should be grandfathered in.
The H-4 expansion Obama did, just like his DACA expansion, was illegal, as the Fifth Circuit has already established. The Trump administration is simply following the law by withdrawing the illegal expansion that the DHS lacked legal authority to do. The H-4 specific lawsuit from Save Jobs USA is using the same principle from the Fifth Circuit decision.
The legal way to have done H-4 or DACA was with appropriate legislation during the time the Democrats held the Presidency, the House, and a filibuster-proof Senate majority... yet they chose to do absolutely no changes in immigration law (DACA or other amnesty, H-4 or other expansion). In fact, Senator Schumer railed against amnesty himself in multiple floor speeches. Now, ask yourself why that is.
1. There is plenty of distinction from the Fifth Circuit decision - for example DAPA and expanded DACA deal with folks present in the country illegally, while H-4 spouses have legal status. Another distinction is that the H-4 work authorization is interstitial - it only applies to those with an approved green card petition, and bridges the gap until the green card is received. That does not apply to DAPA.
2. That Fifth Circuit case was never decided on its merits - it just upheld a preliminary injunction from the district court.

Are you saying that when one ascends to party leader, s/he becomes exempt from having hypocrisy of longstanding past positions pointed out?
