In one of the most brazen gambits of the year, five Mexican illegal immigrants and two Latino-focused nonprofit organizations filed suit seeking to reverse Oregon voters' rejection of a measure granting illegal immigrants state “driver’s cards.” Unsurprisingly, the so-called race card is an integral part of the mix.
Measure 88, which would have provided driver’s cards to those who couldn’t prove they’re in the country legally, failed by a whopping margin of 66.1% to 33.9% during the 2014 mid-term election. Voters in 35 of Oregon’s 36 counties and every congressional district in the state rejected the measure, even though Oregon is a Democrat stronghold, and the pro-illegal constituency outspent their opponents by a 10 to 1 margin.
In other words, when Democrat voters get a say on the issue they stand in direct opposition to Democrat politicians — the very same Democrat politicians who label any resistance to their pro-amnesty agenda as bigoted and xenophobic.
Regardless, Democrat Party allies filed suit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Eugene, alleging that Measure 88 is unconstitutional because it is “arbitrary” and “capricious,” “motivated, at least in part, by animus towards Mexicans and Central Americans,” and violates the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment. Democrat Gov. Kate Brown and Department of Transportation leaders are named as defendants in the case.

That shows that the politicians are relying on low informed voters and potential new voters to get reelected.
We need more referendums on the ballots to show the politicians how the people really feel!
Politicians don't care how we "feel".
Foreigners should not be allowed to sue to reject and overrule the will of American citizens.

I hope you meant illegals instead.
Wait a minute. "Illegal Immigrants" don't HAVE a U. S. Constitution.
What part of that don't these "politicians" understand?
hear my lips. theyre illegal! they have NO RIGHTS!
As a matter of fact, no.
The legal citizens of any other country, whether or not they happen to be within our borders for whatever reason, should have absolutely no power, through judicial appeal, vote, or otherwise, to deny the people of this country sovereignty and absolute right of self-determination. Especially when a referendum made clear the will of American citizens in a specific matter. No non-citizen should have the right to challenge our decision, on any basis.
