South Asian groups in the US have expressed disappointment over a Supreme Court decision blocking two immigration reform programmes of the Obama administration which was benefitting thousands of illegal migrants from the community including those from India.

The Supreme Court’s failure to reach a consensus will leave millions of undocumented individuals, including several hundred thousand South Asians, bereft of any immigration options and will ensure that they continue to operate as a part of our shadow economy, South Asian Association of North America (SAAB North America) said on Thursday.
