It even says so in clear language. This is a wildly important area, and this is a good step, but it is wrong to suggest to people that they now have a right they did not have before when that is not the case. Legal paperwork is still required that is not required for those with actual rights. It is very important that people understand that and have such papers in place, made by a lawyer if possible. That did not change. "This memorandum is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person."
That is the closing paragraph of the memorandum. Does not create any right. It is does not offer legal recourse if the memorandum is not followed. I just ask that those who will be dealing with this learn facts and prepare in advance.
