Mark Shields: SCOTUS Immigration Ruling a ‘Setback’ to Obama’s Legacy

‘His legacy is depleted, that you can only do so much by executive order, that we never got a vote in the House of Representatives’

SHIELDS: "Well, it’s a setback to his legacy. It says that, 2013, 68 United States senators supported — voted for a solution to this problem, to let people come out of the shadows, the parents, the relatives of children who were American citizens, that they wouldn’t be worried about immigration authorities showing up and knocking on their door. And it means that his legacy is depleted, that you can only do so much by executive order, that we never got a vote in the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives never voted on the immigration act in 2013."
