I'm not a lawyer (I decided to earn an honest living), but what is it with this ‘standing’ nonsense?

People couldn't sue for obama’s birth certificate, college records, or health records because nobody had standing.

No one could sue to overturn obamacare for lack of standing.

And now dumping illegals cannot be challenged in court because states and its people have no standing.

Never in my wildest dreams would I think this would happen in the United States.

I believe the framers foresaw it... hence the wisdom of 2A.

It’s a constitutional doctrine. No one is allowed to file amorphous grievances in federal courts. It must be a very concrete harm actually suffered by the plaintiff and as a result of an unconstitutional law. This article states that state governments may take a case directly to the US Supreme Court as against the Federal Government. The point made in the article is quite persuasive. Worth a full read.

I wonder if America will be standing much longer?

"Never in my wildest dreams would I think this would happen in the United States. "

It just means that you. like the most of the frogs, haven't been paying attention for the last 50 years.

Since 1904, many prominent Americans have laid out, in great detail, the dangerous path leading to this final spiral into the (now irrevocable) endless tyranny.

Never was the anecdotal term "frogs in a pot" more applicable...

Another area of possible litigation:

Migrants are committing numerous crimes including: (1) falsifying official documents, (2) giving false info to US authorities, (3) stealing SS nos, (4) faking multiple identities, (5) receiving govt monies under false pretenses, (6)falsifying tax returns to get EITC refunds, (7) money-laundering via remittanced to homelands, (8) colluding w/ criminal drug cartels to violate US borders, (9) carrying drugs into the US....and so on.

Would be easy to get the sue-happy migrants to file suit against Obama---claiming Obama's unleashing DACA was "entrapment"---causing them to commit crimes.
