Congressman Bob Latta (R-Bowling Green) issued the following statement after the Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling in the United States v. Texas case ruling the President’s use of executive action on immigration unlawful.
“Today’s decision by the Supreme Court is a victory for those that believe in the separation of powers as outlined in the Constitution. It was clear when the President issued his executive order on immigration that he had greatly exceeded his authority and imposed a band-aid on an issue that needs real solutions. Unfortunately, his go-it-alone approach has damaged substantive efforts in Congress to secure our borders and fix a badly broken immigration system. “Thankfully, the courts have ruled this unilateral executive action unlawful and the order null and void. I’m committed to ensuring that any action to pass meaningful immigration reform will be done with the full vetting, input, and support of the American people." ### |
