After the United States Supreme Court upheld an Obama-era amnesty program, Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn (TX) says now is the time for a permanent solution to provide amnesty for an entire class of illegal aliens.
Created in an executive order by then-President Barack Obama in 2012 after Congress declined to pass comprehensive immigration reform, DACA permitted some illegal aliens to remain in the United States and prevented law enforcement officials from deporting them.
The lawless program was challenged by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and President Donald Trump as unconstitutional. In a 5-4 decision on Thursday, George W. Bush-appointed Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the courts liberals to prevent Trump from dismantling the program.
After the decision was released, Cornyn took to the floor of the U.S. Senate to deliver a nearly 20-minute speech, in which he said the decision had thrust upon us a unique moment and an opportunity.
We need to take action and pass legislation that will unequivocally allow these young men and women to stay in the only home, the only country, theyve known, he added.
Cornyn doubled down on the comments in a series of posts on Twitter, in which he defended his commentsin both English and Spanishsaying illegal alien DACA recipients deserve nothing less.

Cornyns colleague from Texas, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, offered a strikingly different speech on the floor after the decision. In his remarks, Cruz tore into Chief Justice John Roberts for playing games with the Court to achieve the policy outcomes he desires.
I suggest that congress pass legislation such that all DACA illegals be given a certain period of time (between 5 and 10 years) to become a U.S. citizen and go through the entire normal process to become a citizen, and if they don’t, deport them.........
“With the diminished energy of the tea party in 2020, Cornyn received 76% of the vote. It is almost impossible to get rid of a long term incumbent due to their fund raising advantage from special interest groups. Also low information voters nearly always vote for the name they recognize.”
Yes, it’s the case of the Low Information Republican Primary Voter.
That POS!
I agree. We don’t want to lose GOP Senators, but Cornyn is making it tough to vote for him, with his constant pandering to illegal aliens. Native Texans, Brown, Black and White, do not like that!
True! There are too many buying into the left’s meme that the SCOTUS upheld DACA. NOT true. The ruling only said Trump had the right to kill it, but would need to cross the Ts and dot the Is in the paperwork. ....No problem.
Cornyn has always been a Mexico sell out.
He’s piling on while Trump needs him, the old traitor.
He pushed the N.Amer. union BS.
