These would have been ruled unconstitutional if the lawsuit had been allowed to proceed to SCOTUS.
Maybe the Dems will be will to talk, now.

Were the payments legal or illegal?

President Obama used an EO to pay this money. The executive branch does not have the constitutional power to allocate money. It's the authority of the Congress. Thus illegal.
