Mr. Obama’s plan temporarily shields from deportation illegal immigrants who have been in the country at least five years and who have a child who is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident. [On Monday] “We are dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s,”

I gotta say, Abbott is one of the best new faces from this election. Perry has his pros and cons. Abbott is the real deal.
