Mercury News editorial: Immigration ruling hard on Silicon Valley families
San Jose Mercury News ^ | 06/23/2016

Posted on 06/24/2016 6:12:11 AM PDT by artichokegrower

Thursday's non-decision by a paralyzed U.S. Supreme Court on President Barack Obama's immigration policy reflects congressional failure on two levels.

One is Senate Republicans' refusal to even vote on Obama's nominee to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February. The vacant seat leaves the court doomed to tie votes on divisive issues that should be resolved either way.

Said San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo: "The Court's deadlocked decision undermines the righteous aspirations of thousands of our San Jose neighbors, whether they're college-educated DREAMers launching their careers, or parents seeking reunification with their children. I join with mayors, business leaders and social justice advocates throughout the nation in urging comprehensive immigration reform."

This is the same mayor Liccardo who told his police force to stand down and let the violent protesters attack the attendees at the Trump rally.

Not true: the issue was decided. The lower court ruling stands.

Suck eggs.

I had a dream.... that someone in the media would convey news like this (SC decision) as a victory for the hard-working, tax-paying American citizens who are sick and tired of paying for the freeloading illegals.

In other news, employment figures for American born white boys have suddenly increased in Silicon Valley. More at 6.

They really need to take their big mouths, Mehican flags and anti-Trump banners back to where they came from. They didn’t come here for “a better life”. They came here as invaders, rapists, thieves and murders. No sympathy here.

Better go back where they came from, then.

The SCOTUS decision was not about illegal aliens. It was about separation of power and states rights that were being trampled on by a rogue White Hut.

You would think the paper would be more alarmed that 4 supreme court justices believe that the President has the power to make laws.

As much as I can’t stand Mitch McConnell, thank God that he has thus far held firm on not allowing the Garland nomination to proceed. Merrick Garland is a ‘yes’ vote on all of Obama’s lawlessness and once Obama is out of office, he would continue to be a “yes” for any Lib/Dem/Prog efforts to disarm and dismantle this country.

I sure hope you aren't holding your breath, all I heard was gloom and doom.
AND I still can't figure how the MSM and sooo many pols are on the side of illegals instead of supporting real Americans. I just don't get it.

Won’t someone think of the families of bank robbers and car thieves, who face family separations due to the mere existence of plainly-worded statutes?

The issue WAS resolved, the whining libtards just don’t like it so as usual they are throwing a hissy. Their little tantrum in the House was as likely a smokescreen to keep Zero’s rebuke off the front page...per usual CYA and spin.

I have been hearing this LIE since the man child had his temper tantrum yesterday.... this was NOT a “non-decision by SCOTUS”. The high court ROUTINELY allows the previous appeals court ruling to stand. That is what happened. The fact that it was a 4-4 vote is interesting, but doesn’t make it invalid.

If the shoe was on the other foot this same rag would be hailing the Supreme Court.

Too bad, let them and their families go home. This is America and it is for Americans and our LEGAL immigrants.

Like Rush said yesterday those four vote as a block. Whatever the issue. They NEVER break ranks. For that alone they should be removed. A pattern of not providing their Constitutionally required judicial process spanning years if not decades.

They’re actually MEXICAN families, but why quibble.

Exactly the result we need to DEMAND. The reason they have been allowed to stay is malfeasance of the Rats. Blame them. Deport ALL illegals (equal treatment) and suspend ALL immigration and refugees until we can assimilate what the Rats have done. If people want to be reunited with family, they should do so. There, not here. This is the result we should DEMAND. No compromise.
