‘Mr. President, Don’t Back Down On Immigration’
Cesar Vargas of the Dream Action Coalition in The Hill:
The conservative judge was persuaded by Texas’s argument that the states would be injured because they would have to pay the cost of services to the undocumented population: this is based more on political grounds than on a legal and economic basis.Studies have shown that an estimated $3 billion in tax revenue will be generated during the first two years if the president’s immigration actions move forward. In Texas alone, moving forward with the actions would add $338 million, far exceeding the cost to the state of $104 million.
Obama took an important step forward in this direction by acting in the face of congressional inaction on immigration. Now it’s up to the president and his administration to get back into the ring and fight.
Mr. President, the law, the economy and the American people are on your side. We need you to fight for American families and not back down.

they’ve already backed down. They chose not to fast track their appeal.FY 2015 will be over before this even goes to the appellate. Obama will be out of office before this case is resolved.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest says they’ll file the motion by Monday (2/23/15) to stay the ruling that puts President Obama’s immigration executive actions on hold by holding open the public comment period. DOJ is filing an apeal to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/20/politics/texas-immigration-ruling-justice/index.html Red Eye keeps his “True 0” Limbaugh rating! http://www.politifact.com/personalities/rush-limbaugh/

Although I support the presidents initiative, I wish the congress had simply written a bill as challenged instead of going to the courts. If they are able to prevail we will simply be right back where we started without an immigration bill, plan, or idea, on how to fix an extremely complex problem.
You can’t govern by just saying no.
