WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Texas:

“By going around Congress to grant legal status to millions of people here illegally, the President abused the power of his office and ignored the will of the American people. The President can’t circumvent the legislative process simply because he doesn’t get what he wants, and I’m glad the Rule of Law was affirmed.”

Earlier this year, Senator Cornyn and 42 other Senate Republicans filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of the State of Texas’ challenge to the Obama Administration’s November 2014 executive actions on immigration.
