17 states are suing President Barack Obama over his recent executive actions on immigration, which shields from deportation up to 5 million people who are in the country illegally.
The lawsuit claims that Obama violated the ‘Take Care Clause’ of the U.S. Constitution that limits presidential power, that the federal government violated rule-making procedures, and that the order will “exacerbate the humanitarian crisis along the southern border.”
I think that Obama's immigration order wasn't that bad. I think he should've consulted more people because his procedure wasn't great, but his actual order was not a bad thing at all.

As far as I know the president didn't necessarily think that this action would hold but he figured it would get the ball rolling for his immigration plan. I think its not how the government let alone the president should operate.
