Mitchell said we don’t have the resources to round up all of the illegal immigrants who are here to work. The parents may take the children with them if they are returned to their home countries.

Obama said the ruling was “heartbreaking”.

Thursday’s 4-4 tie in the Supreme Court, blocking President Barack Obama’s plan to shield millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation, might affect Arizona’s Hispanic businesses, and in turn, its economy. They would not gain USA citizenship, but they would have the right to seek employment authorization and benefits provided by states, such as driver’s licenses.

Texas and 25 other states claimed that the plan conflicts with the existing immigration statutes, unilaterally granting legal status to individuals who are here unlawfully under existing immigration law; they also argue that the administration should have announced the new policy through a formal “notice-and-comment” rulemaking process.

This case involved the administration’s 2014 announcement that it meant to grant “deferred action” – essentially, temporary relief from the threat of deportation – to millions of people living in the United States without legal status. The government could fund legal orientation programs to ensure that those who are eligible can and do apply for relief such as DACA, which still exists despite the USA v. Texas decision.
