President Obama said most illegal immigrants still won’t be deported, even after the Supreme Court’s tie ruling Thursday upheld an injunction on his broader deportation amnesty.
Mr. Obama rushed to assure illegal immigrants with ties to the U.S. that they are “low priorities,” even though they will not be able to get the work permits and taxpayer benefits his “deferred action” program had promised.
And he said the 4-4 tie was more evidence for the need to confirm Judge Merrick Garland, his pick to succeed the late Justice Antonin Scalia, to the high court.
Speaking less than two hours after the court’s ruling, Mr. Obama said it “takes us further from the country we aspire to be,” and delays a solution to a broken system that has allowed an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants to arrive and settle here.
The president also challenged voters to punish those who want stricter enforcement of immigration laws.

No, Mr. Obama, it takes us further from the socialist country you aspire us to be.
If we have a conservative Congress, why haven't laws been passed? Surely if ALL of America wants the illegals gone we can get 2/3 of the house to override a presidential veto of the bill?
And that's why Democrats will lose in November. People are tired of our government threatening our country's sovereignty and economy. They have been grossly negligence in their handling of issues that are important to AMERICANS! They are so out of touch with the average voters, it's time to clean up DC once and for all. Promote term limits across the board! It's time, folks, we can't continue this madness any longer. There's nothing wrong or racist for wanting to preserve American CULTURE!
"...a broken system..." ???
The system works fine, but openly telling would-be immigrants that we aren't going to enforce the immigration laws tends to increase the "broken" part of the process.
Start taking care of AMERICANS, you bozo.
Still time to impeach this guy?
Obama thinks the Constitution was on one of Hillary's deleted emails. That's why the oath he supposedly swore to enforce the laws means squat to him.
