Sessions Warns Immigration Victory Temporary, Hillary Clinton’s Amnesty Agenda Even More ‘Radical’

The Senate’s most vocal opponent of President Barack Obama’s immigration policies, cheered the Supreme Court’s decision Thursday to continue blocking Obama’s executive amnesty programs from moving forward. “Today’s decision in United States v. Texas is not just a victory for Texas, Alabama, and a majority of the States in this great nation who challenged the lawless actions of the Obama Administration, but a victory for the American people and for the rule of law,” Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said Thursday of the divided Court’s 4-4 decision.

Though sated by the temporary victory, the Alabama lawmaker stressed that the ruling merely continues the immigration battle and does not cure the Obama administration’s effective abandonment of immigration enforcement.

“In November of 2014, the Obama Administration announced to the world that it was going on strike,” Sessions said recalling the president’s executive amnesty announcement. “It would cease enforcing immigration law.”

He continued, “Under the guise of exercising prosecutorial discretion, it explicitly directed law enforcement officers not to enforce the law – forcing them to violate their oath of office to support and defend the Constitution of the United States – and effectively eliminating entire sections of the United States Code.”

In conjunction with the changes to enforcement, Obama also announced the executive amnesty programs to grant work permits and de facto legal status to millions of illegal immigrants — known as Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). While the Supreme Court continued to block the programs from taking effect Thursday, the changes to enforcement remain.

“[T]his fight is far from over,” Sessions said. “The case now will be sent back for additional litigation on the merits of the case, and the ultimate outcome remains uncertain.

The Supreme Court did not decide it - they let the lower court ruling stand.

The Obama admin will appeal, and it will come back to the Supreme court after a new Justice is appointed to replace Scalia.

The Republic will sink or swim based on that appointment.

Well stated. This crime alone was grounds for impeachment and removal from office. The cowards in Congress refused to act.

“The Obama admin will appeal”

The Supreme Court ruling was the ruling on the Obama appeal.

The court is only blocking DAPA, the SECOND illegal amnesty for illegal aliens. The states sued for the injunction.
His first illegal amnesty for illegal aliens, DACA, goes on unhindered. The GOP refused to sue to stop him and fully funded it.

“The Supreme Court ruling was the ruling on the Obama appeal.”

My understanding is that the court did not decide substance, and returned it to the lower court.

The administration can appeal to that court, and if it not successful, seek to advance back to the Supreme Court again.

I heard something like that, but it is too late for this administration.
