The Chinese won't stand for this kind of nonsense. Most other nations wouldn't either.

Two groups leading the legal fight to defend the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program have retained the country’s most powerful law firms to protect DACA at the Supreme Court.
That the DACA case would attract top legal talent is not surprising, especially since the litigation has reached a critical stretch.
The University of California, which sued to stop DACA’s termination in Sept. 2017, hired Covington & Burling’s Robert Long, while Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher’s Ted Boutrous was retained to represent six DACA recipients who are individually suing the administration.
Long and Boutrous are veteran Supreme Court advocates who have argued major cases before the justices.
The high court appointed Long to argue a jurisdictional issue in NFIB v. Sebelius, the first Obamacare case, in 2012.
Boutrous argued the 2011 Dukes v. Wal-Mart case, and convinced the court to invalidate the largest employment class action lawsuit in American history.

U of C is an institution supported by state tax dollars that also receives millions in federal research grants
Why are they suing, and what standing do they have to spend redirected taxpayer funds or federal grant funds on lawsuits defending illegals?
That U of C would loose per-student federal funds for the illegals is immaterial. Legal students would fill those seats.
As I understand ‘DACA’ was an executive order questionable in constitutionality. Trump is reversing the EO. Since the only issue is an EO and there is no legislation in play then Trump can do what he wants - no constitutional or legal issues really come into play.. only political ones.
I hope it's a 9-0 case, and I'm no lawyer, but to my observation we seem to have 4 Supreme Court Justices who don't care much what the Constitution says.
Yup, you see what that got the Stinely family after the 7x deported illegal alien shot and killed their daughter!!!
I was thinking clinton foundation, but I like your, too.
=================================
In the article, says the University of California (system) hired the law firms.
That means, any taxpayer in the country not just in CA (they receive millions in federal grant money). Additionally, anyone who pays tuition to any of the 10 universities, benefactors, boosters, etc.
