The Supreme Court issued a one-sentence ruling today concerning President Obama's immigration plan: "The judgment is affirmed by an equally divided Court." Full StoryStatement From Mayor Turner:"Today’s decision from the U.S. Supreme Court was not a decision at all.  A favorable ruling would have removed the fear of deportation and separation that more than 200,000 eligible immigrants in the greater Houston metropolitan area live with every day.  This legal fight has been bad for the economy, hurts families and has stalled desperately needed changes to the federal government’s immigration policies.  The men, women and children impacted by this want to feel free to come out of the shadows and work toward the American Dream.  They are business owners, customers, students, and parents who simply want a brighter future.   It is disappointing that the court did not provide the clarity they so desperately need." 4951

Why are they facing deportation? Did they come in the wrong way? jumping the fence or walking across the line without documentation? Should I care if they don't get citizenship? and how does this hurt the economy since most work cash jobs for reduced pay and send the money back to Meheco via western union? 4951

Thank God he finally weighed in. I was starting to wonder if I was going to have to hold out for legal commentary from Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake. 4951

He was elected because of the apathetic population of people with half a brain that didn't vote. 4951

@choclab: Except for people in Kingwood. We almost tipped the scale. Read a story today. Illegal here 21 years and he was mad today because he wanted healthcare. He said  nothing about becoming a citizen, serving on a jury, paying the same taxes, signing up for selective service....so glad he had a bad day.

Illegals should have a fear of deportation.  The only time it should end is when they're deported. 4951
