President Barack Obama sought to reassure millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally that he has no plans to deport them, while acknowledging that the Supreme Court’s deadlock Thursday marks the end of the road for his push to reform the U.S. immigration system.

Though Obama predicted an immigration overhaul is inevitable, he conceded it won’t happen while he’s president due to opposition from the current Congress. Working to lay the groundwork for the next president to pick up the effort, he cast the election in November as a referendum on how the country would treat its immigrants.

“We’re going to have to make a decision about whether we are a people who tolerate the hypocrisy of a system where the workers who pick our fruit or make our beds never have the chance to get right with the law,” Obama said. “Or whether we’re going to give them a chance, just like our forebears had a chance, to take responsibility and give their kids a better future.” …

Not sure I believe him (though the fact that Trump is our nominee blows any cover he might have had for such moves).

[Snowybear]

In other words, I acknowledge their ruling but I will not obey it and ship these effers back.

Got it.

He’ll ignore it.

So, Obama wants the election as choice of Open Borders (anyone and everyone, ignore our laws, take our jobs, kill our citizens, drain our government resources) vs. America First (enforce our laws, jail/deport lawbreakers, etc.), where does he really think Americans today will vote?

Worse, for Clinton, she is sidelined and choice is really Obama third term via her, else Trump. I think we've all had enough Obama and Clintons, just like we made it clear this past year, we've had enough Bushes as well. It is a revolution to take back America, Make American Great for everyone. Trump has it right, with a message that will transcend party lines and traditional alliances.

Isn’t this now “settled law” and the communists are supposed to give up forever and move on? Believe that is what we are told when we lose at the SCOTUS.

[b4its2late]

Yeah right. The guy lies.

[Cboldt]

The only thing changed is that Obama's goons are forbidden from issuing formal papers conferring "three-year, renewable work permit and exemption from deportation." He is still free to overlook the immigration status, and he has said the enforcement policies he has ordered (which amount to "do not apply the law as written"), will not be changed.

This POS muslim fluffer has imported 10’s of millions of 3rd world lowlifes. That's above and beyond the 50 million plus that have come from south of the border.

Tourist visas are given out freely to every terrorist and Ebola carrier that wants to come America and stay.

O’muslim’s end game is the destruction of America.

[Zarro]

He’ll ignore it.

And Congress will ignore his ignorance.

Could the USSC simply be saying that they have had enough of Mr. Obama?

Has Trump called 0bloviater to thank him for the November assist, yet?

Hellary will be throwing more ashtrays, over this!!

the criminal in the WH will only change course when he himself is incarcerated.

[ArtDodger]

Translation: time for another SC justice to stay at a retreat.
