Such unilateral action is contrary to how our constitutional system is supposed to work. and it risks undermining the separation of powers doctrine. which is central to our constitutional framework. That is really what this debate is about. It is about the proper constitutional constraints on unilateral Executive action. It happens to be an Executive action that deals with immigration. but it could be an Executive action on any other issue. That is why it is important that we draw those lines. Indeed. the legislation I proposed. which we will be voting on at some point. is fully consistent with the court ruling in Texas. which my colleague. the senior Senator from Texas. is very familiar with and knows much more about than I do.
