Why Republicans Might Want to Rethink Their Victory Lap on Immigration

Republicans, especially some of the potential 2016 presidential candidates, were quick to claim a victory this week after a judge in Texas ordered a temporary halt to some of President Obama’s controversial immigration actions.

"The Texas court decision reached last night is a major turning point in the fight to stop Obama's lawless amnesty," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Tuesday. "This is a major victory for the rule of law; the District Court's ruling states that President Obama must now stop implementing these policies in 'any and all aspects.'”

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal added: "Louisiana joined this lawsuit [that 26 states filed against Obama] because what the president is doing to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens is unconstitutional, and we’re glad the court agreed.

“On his own volition, President Obama ignored the law and the will of the American people.”

I never trust any propaganda piece like this from the MSM. Anytime any headway is made against the Muslim communist dictator it’s not really a victory according to them. They will prop him up to the very end.
