Federal appeals court sides with Texas against Obama on immigration

Washington (CNN)A federal appeals court on Tuesday denied a request from Justice Department lawyers to allow President Barack Obama's controversial immigration actions to go into effect pending appeal.

The decision is a victory for Texas and 25 other states that are challenging the Obama administration's actions, which were blocked by a District Court judge in February. Tuesday's decision means that while the issue is appealed, eligible undocumented immigrants will be unable to apply for the programs aimed at easing deportation threats.

"Because the government is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its appeal of the injunction, we deny the motion for stay and the request to narrow the scope of the injunction," according to the 2-1 decision by a panel of the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

2 to 1 against isn’t exactly a landslide decision.

The Court’s perfect reasoning...when and if the administration loses, and it will, the damage done by allowing it to proceed would be beyond repair to the States.

This is wonderful news! We popped a cork tonight. We don’t want the illegal aliens here. We want them to follow the law.
