Cope Praises Supreme Court Decision

on Obama's Failed Immigration Policy

"The U.S. Supreme Court got it right when it allowed a lower court decision, which blocked the Obama Administration's attempt to circumvent our immigration laws, to remain in effect," said Clay Cope, the First Selectman for the Town of Sherman and the Republican candidate for Congress in the 5 th District.

"This decision is an affirmation that the American people, through their elected Representatives in Congress, decide our immigration laws. The President is empowered to enforce the laws on the books, he does not get to pick and choose which laws he favors, or worse just create new ones."

"The Obama Administration's approach, or more accurately non-approach, to immigration has been a disaster for years and this decision is a key first step in resolving this long-standing problem."

"Americans are not opposed to immigration, but they are opposed to open borders and illegal immigration. As a nation, we need to regain control over our borders and impose realistic limits on who can enter and emigrate to our country and under what circumstances."

A native of Texas, Clay Cope traded a successful 28-year career in the fashion industry for Public Service in CT. He has won five local elections, and is now the three-term First Selectman for the Town of Sherman. He is widely regarded for his fiscally conservative approach to government. He has successfully managed multi-million dollar municipal budgets, finishing the year in the black, not the red. He pays down debt, not adds to it, and has rebuilt the Town's Rainy Day Fund. His stewardship of the Town 's finances enabled the removal of a negative outlook on the Town's debt, which was incurred by a previous administration.
