It looks as if the taxpayers of Texas will be stuck with the bill since the Texas guard belongs to Texas unless it is called to federal service.
Another Obama bill that others will have to pay.
I hope Perry sues Obama for failing to protect and to defend Texas from foreign invaders.
Watch the video in Post 18. Texas taxpayers have already ponied up a 1/2 BILLION dollars - and that's just the monetary cost. People who don't live in a border state have a hard time comprehending this situation.
July 3, 2014: “AUSTIN – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott on Thursday said he is considering a lawsuit against the federal government over the costs associated with housing thousands of immigrant children detained on the U.S.-Mexico border.
“The State of Texas is exploring any and all options, including litigation, to address the crisis our federal government has created by not living up to their Constitutional responsibility,” Attorney General spokesman Jerry Strickland said. “If the federal government is unwilling to secure the border, the State of Texas will be forced to resort to litigation to recoup the costs incurred to respond to this crisis.”..............
..........It would not be the first time Texas has filed a suit against the federal government over the state’s border enforcement costs. In 1994, Attorney General Dan Morales sued to recoup $5 billion for services provided illegal immigrants living in Texas. The suit failed in the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, where the presiding judge expressed sympathy with state officials while urging them to take the issue directly to Congress.”
No, that's OK, just take it out of the DHHS welfare budget.
