so, i am optimistic that the court will find that there is no standing for texas to proceed but if texas is allowed to proceed, that what the president did was lawful. >> i am senator bob menendez. i believe that many of the justices' questioned exposed the political theater going on here. the reality is about the standing question, which dominated a great amount of time for the justices, there is no question that for 50 years, from eisenhower to the current president, the president has used executive actions on immigration, time and time again. and the fact of the matter is is that we see a set of circumstances that the argument that a potential cost to the state of texas, or to other similar states other situated, would open the floodgates in which any action of an administration or for that matter and act of -- any act of congress would then create a flood of lawsuits that would come to the united states supreme court. so i do not believe, and i think the justices will come to the conclusion, that texas and the other states do not have standing, on a question that is clearly immigrati

texas, et al. general verrilli? justice, and may it please the court, the secretary of homeland security has decided to defer removal of the class of aliens who are parents of u.s. citizens and lpr's, have lived in the country continuously since 2010, and not committed crimes. that policy is lawful and respondents concede it is lawful. it is fully justified by the fundamental reality that dhs has resources only to remove a fraction of the unlawful aliens, the aliens presently present unlawfully in the country now. this class of aliens is the lowest priority. and there is a pressing humanitarian concern in avoiding the breakup of families that contain u.s. citizen children. the principal -- justice ginsburg: couldn't the government simply, as was suggested in one of the briefs, have given these children parents of citizens or lpr's, given them identity cards that say "low priority," and would there be any difference between that and what this dapa guidance does? general verrilli: that is that's a very important point
