Court Ruling
The ruling placed an ease on the Dreamers but still left thoughts of uncertainty. The court doing nothing was still doing something by staying out of the legal battle.
“We need to give young immigrants who came to our country as children permanent assurance that they are safe here, and we need to give them this peace of mind now,” former vice president Joe Biden wrote on Twitter. “They shouldn’t have to spend another day living with fear and uncertainty.”
It was thought by some that Congress needed to act and not depend on the court to make decisions for them.
“It would be foolish to take, sort of, false confidence or hope that somehow the courts are going to save us from having to make a decision,” said John Cornyn.
“This takes away the urgency to do something,” said Mark Krikorian. “Everybody will be like, ‘Let’s kick the can down the road and deal with it whenever.’ ”
Krikorian, Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies was responsible for reducing the levels of immigration.
This means that until some sort of proper decision was made, the Dreamers were neither here nor there. They just don’t know how this would turn out. Some ease!
