Breaking news! America wins, Obama loses! Posted by Ann

Boston Globe headline
captures it: ‘Supreme Court hands Obama crushing defeat on immigration’ The decision
was handed down just a few minutes ago. I know that all of you are as thrilled
— and relieved — as I am. Here was my
first statement to the national media:
“The ruling today is a win for American workers and the Constitution.
The court’s decision means that immigration policy — including the power to
issue work permits — still belongs to the people through their elected
officials in Congress and that a president cannot unilaterally change that
policy.
“U.S. citizens and legal immigrants in this country have been spared
having to face direct job and wage competition from millions of illegal
migrants for whom Pres. Obama had promised to open up every job in America.”
Several other
federal court decisions have blocked Obama’s DAPA amnesty since just before it
was to take effect a little more than a year ago.
The Supreme
Court granted the Obama Administration a hearing on its insistence that the
high court overturn the injunction that was preventing millions of illegal
migrants from being granted work permits and other benefits. A tie vote in
the Supreme Court means that lower court rulings stand. So, this was a
tremendous victory for all of us.
Keep in mind
that the merits of the case by Texas and 25 other states against the DAPA
amnesty have still not been ruled on by the lower courts which have merely
issued a temporary injunction. But now, the country can breathe easier knowing
that millions of illegal migrants are not legally competing for every U.S. job
while the courts move forward on the merits.
Practically
speaking, though, there is little chance that the case on the merits will be
decided before Pres. Obama leaves office.
We will
continue to provide you updates on this massively important issue, just as we
have from the beginning. Be prepared for big pro-amnesty
demonstrations as Election 2016 approaches…
How do we know?
Because last fall when we attended the Georgetown Law School pow-wow here, one of the leading NO Borders advocates in
America, Marielena
Hincapie, promised us as much should the Supreme Court rule against
them!
