I'm Jeffrey Rosen, President and CEO of the National Constitution Center, and welcome to the latest of our We the People constitutional podcasts.

The National Constitution Center is the only institution in America chartered by Congress to disseminate information

about the U.S. Constitution on a nonpartisan basis.

And this week we are talking about the constitutional and legal issue of the week,

namely immigration at a legal crossroads.

This week at Texas District Court

temporarily blocked President Obama's

latest immigration programs.

And that opinion has set off a debate about the future of immigration.

Judge Andrew Hainen of Brownsville, Texas, a U.S. District Judge, ruled that the Obama administration's deferred deportation

policy violates the Administrative Procedure Act and said that it should be put on hold

until there's a full trial.

The Obama administration will appeal the ruling, some speculate the issue will percolate up to the Supreme Court.

This is a fascinating issue.

It is complicated and important.

We are going to discuss the statutory and other aspects

as well as thinking ahead to the constitutional challenges which the judge did not rule

directly on.

And joining us to discuss these core questions are two members of our thrilling newly created

coalition of Freedom Advisory Board.

And thank you so much, listeners,

for your great reaction to our podcast announcing the Advisory Board
