Texas leads coalition of states in lawsuit against Obama immigration actions
« on: December 03, 2014, 06:03:35 PM »
Texas Gov.-elect Greg Abbott announced Wednesday that Texas is leading a 17-state coalition suing the Obama administration over the president's executive actions on immigration.

The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Texas on Wednesday, and names the heads of the top immigration enforcement agencies as defendants.

Abbott, in a news conference in Austin, said the "broken" immigration system should be fixed by Congress, not by "presidential fiat."

He said President Obama's recently announced executive actions -- a move designed to spare as many as 5 million people living illegally in the United States from deportation -- "directly violate the fundamental promise to the American people" by running afoul of the Constitution.

"The ability of the president to dispense with laws was specifically considered and unanimously rejected at the Constitutional Convention," he said.

Geez, I hope they get this turned around.

All that the "O" gets away with just sickens me.

One of the most under reported things in the news is exactly how many major losses Obama has had in appellate courts and the supreme court over his policies.  He loses a lot. Hopefully he'll lose this one too.

Texas & Arizona get busy in their border regions bolstered by NG & Law Enforcement volunteers from 7 other nearby states ( California & New Mexico abstain)
