Republicans, especially some of the potential 2016 presidential candidates, were quick to claim a victory this week after a judge in Texas ordered a temporary halt to some of President Obama’s controversial immigration actions.
"The Texas court decision reached last night is a major turning point in the fight to stop Obama's lawless amnesty," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Tuesday. "This is a major victory for the rule of law; the District Court's ruling states that President Obama must now stop implementing these policies in 'any and all aspects.'”

But it could be a short-term victory because immigration is a potential landmine for Republicans who will be seeking the White House in 2016.
A poll out Tuesday by the Public Religion Research Institute found that most Americans -- 73 percent -- support Congress moving forward to pass a comprehensive bill rather than working to undo some of President Obama’s executive actions, including the ability of nearly 5 million undocumented immigrants to obtain work permits and legal safety from deportation.

Suicide.
I don’t see any Republicans doing a victory lap, about anything.
Another day, another straw man from the MSM.
...says ABC
I don’t know anyone celebrating anything here, you leftist POS Serena.
Yea, they just love giving Republicans good political advise.
hey ABC bitch....
It was not the Republicans, it was more than 50 % of the states that brought a law suit and it was thye third branch of government that slapped away the overgrasping hand of the power mand President.
BTW....... your name is on the list
Just who the hell is the Public Religion Research Institute?
Another Commie "Social Justice" front group?
What's their connection with La Raza...and potentially Catholic Bishops?
Victory lap? With ø and his minions conniving about?
ABC News, indeed.
‘Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.’
The Chamber of Commerce GOPe is scrambling to get this latest court action against Obama undone just as much as the RATs are.
”But it could be a short-term victory because immigration is a potential landmine for Republicans who will be seeking the White House in 2016.”
Republicans should run on this. Let the rats explain that they care more about illegal immigrants than about Americans. While republicans are at it, they might want to also run on how democrats care more about everyone but Americans.
Everybody knows Obola has a pen and a phone and hasn't yet let anybody stop him from doing anything he wanted to do.

I just tried to find out. No luck. I can tell you that 70% do NOT want amnesty, so they are FOS.
They L I E
LIES. Where’d they poll, the barrios?
So says ABC News. Once again we see the deep concern the corrupt media has for Republicans. Why, they only want to see them do well, right?
Why, according to ABC News is the immigration issue a "landmine" for Republicans, but apparently has no impact whatsoever for Democrats? Why is that?
Yup, I want to know what this group is, and see the poll’s full internals/questions.
I don’t think it’s a victory lap so much as trying desperately to find a way forward out of the morass!
The republicans can never do victory laps. While they would be lapping, the democrats would just have judges change the laws to their likings. When is the last time a democrat progressive gave up on anything? Especially immigration. They know this is there once chance to have a permanent majority in every office in the nation down to dog catcher. There’s a reason the illegals are being sent and housed in undisclosed locations.
Leftists hate conservatives more than anything on this earth, and are such petulant children that leftist reporters would file stories based on absolutely nothing more than a desire to make them unhappy.
