Washington
–
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
issued
the
statement
below
following
today’s
decision
on
the
case
of United
States
v.
Texas,
No.
15-674 by
the
U.S.
Supreme
Court,
which
blocks
President
Obama’s
effort
to
unilaterally
change
our
nation’s
immigration
laws.
“President
Obama’s
efforts
to
ignore
Congress
on
a
variety
of
issues,
from
immigration
to
Guantanamo
Bay,
are
absolutely
unacceptable.
Today
the
Supreme
Court
reinforced
that
the
President
cannot
simply
decide
on
his
own
to
grant
amnesty
to
5
million
people,
and
I
sincerely
hope
the
White
House
will
now
put
their
focus
where
it
should
be
regarding
immigration
–
securing
our
borders
and
fixing
our
legal
immigration
system.
America
is
both
a
compassionate
nation
and
a
nation
of
laws,
and
I
hope
over
time
we
are
able
to
find
smart,
targeted
solutions
to
securing
our
border,
enforcing
existing
U.S.
law,
and
creating
an
efficient
system
for
future
immigrants."
