Immigration lawsuits

For a president ostensibly committed to immigration reform, Barack Obama has a funny way of showing it.  He already is deporting more people than any president in the history of the United States, and now is suing more states than ever before. From Politico:

The potential challenges come at an opportune time for the White House, which is seeking to boost Hispanic support for President Barack Obama’s reelection bid.

I don't see this boosting anything.  The only reason the Obama administration is suing left and right is that it has utterly failed to pass any meaningful immigration legislation.  These lawsuits only seek to re-establish the status quo ante, which was already broken.  They don't do anything to advance federal reform.
