President Obama's Arrogance
It's a tactic that has become the hallmark of his presidency. President Obama declaring a change in U.S. immigration law. No Congressional action. No court decision. Just another executive decision. This time changing immigration law to permit young people who were brought to this country illegally to stay, rather than face deportation. We should have seen this one coming. The Wall Street Journal points out that President Obama actually revealed his intentions a year ago. "In a speech last year... Continue Reading

June at Supreme Court: ObamaCare & Immigration
No one knows exactly when the Supreme Court will issue its decisions in the ObamaCare and Arizona immigration cases. No one except the Justices and those who work for them. In a world where leaks abound, the Supreme Court is one of the very few institutions in America where leaks are very rare and simply not tolerated. Don't expect anything different this time around. You won't hear a word from the Court on these two blockbuster issues - that is - until the Justices take the bench and proclaim... Continue Reading

Earlier today I appeared on Fox News to discuss Arizona’s latest filing in the Supreme Court case that epitomizes President Obama’s assault on the states. Arizona’s argument is simple: As a state, it has the right to protect its citizens and implement reasonable illegal immigration regulations to enforce federal law. The ACLJ is representing more than 50 Members of Congress, filing an amicus brief with the Supreme Court supporting Arizona’s right to defend itself. Repres... Continue Reading

Defending Alabama's Immigration Law
With the Supreme Court poised to act on Arizona's law targeting illegal immigrants in the coming months, a new legal challenge regarding illegal immigration is winding its way through the federal court system - this time it's Alabama's measure under fire from the Obama Administration. Alabama's measure, HB 56, is now before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. I want you to know that we have just filed an important amicus brief backing the Alabama measure - a brief that urges the... Continue Reading
