Governor Jindal Issues Statement after Obama Immigration Order Halted

Today, Governor Jindal issued the following statement after President Obama’s immigration executive order was halted by a federal court:

Governor Jindal said, "Louisiana joined this lawsuit because what the President is doing to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens is unconstitutional, and we’re glad the court agreed. On his own volition, President Obama ignored the law and the will of the American people. President Obama did this on his own because he knows the American people reject the idea and he couldn’t pass it in Congress. Fortunately, the rule of law is something President Obama cannot sidestep. Now it’s time for Congress to once and for all secure the border."
