No, the document/agreement prevails.
If I broke a contract with you, would you want your money back?
Its simple. The US just needs to say that they have changed their mind, compensate those that lost money, and move on.

OK, but the settlement can’t be an unrealistic figure. And then our dear government should also compensate every US citizen that has been harmed by its refusal to enforce immigration laws. Yes, that is taxpayer money. It should bring awareness of what a miserable job this administration, congress (most of the time), and the courts are doing. Our government is cheating us and I would hope that would bring some of these issues into prominence in 2008 primaries and general elections.
Compensate who, precisely? And then why? Because they "lost money?" Not very "free enterprise" of you. They gambled. They knew the hazard it was only a law,not a Treaty, and could be reversed on whim, or undercut and defeated at whim.
Well, now They lost. Tough cookies. Them's the breaks. Time for them to face the reality of life.
And take whatever financial lumps they have coming to them, then I say GOOD!
Not when it is an ULTRA VIRES act. And not when there is clear evidence of collusion between the "negotiators" against the interest of the victim here being extorted to cave in, and demanded to pay for "their" change of mind.
