Mercury News editorial: Immigration ruling hard on Silicon Valley families

San Jose Mercury News ^ | 06/23/2016

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.

Boo f’n hoo

Those “parents seeking reunification with their children” can rendezvous in Mexico.

< 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.

Yeah can you imagine what would happen if Americans immigrated to Mexico en masse the way the illegals do here? The Mexican president would contract out the drug lords and their goons to kill as many Americans as possible and put them in specially designated landfills. It would be thousands of Americans a month and sport for the gang members.

I didn’t realize that SCOTUS was paralyzed. Silly me.

I really don't think the majority of people support the illegal fraudsters like the way the MSM purports them to. I think it's just the leftists and the complicit MSM practicing Alinksk rules for radicals - rule # 1:

Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.

What aspirations? I thought Preezy Bathhouse said those people were perfectly happy picking our vegetables and making our beds.

Silly...don't you know that illegals have more right to this country than you have? That they're morally superior to you? That they pay more in taxes than you do? That their children are more deserving of higher education than your children are? C'mon...get with the program! /s (just in case)

I'll wait for their atricle

Illegal families hard on legal residents

[kearnyirish2]

I suspect by now most working Americans realize that none of the “benefits” of unfettered immigration benefited the average American at all; they have lost jobs or salary, and their neighborhoods are resembling Cali or Calcutta.

I’m disgusted that any politician continues repeating the BS about immigration; it has destroyed the American worker.

[Mouton]

Yup on that and add as leeches on the welfare state. As far as how I feel about their plight, cry me a river.

[Vigilanteman]

Drug enforcement is really hard on the families of those who manufacture crack cocaine.

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. /I>

WHOA - the guy's a jerk... I'm guessing he's part of the illegal drug trade...

[Ford4000]

If there is anything that gets my sympathy it silicon valley bigwigs not getting their way.
