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!
