Seventeen states, led by Texas Attorney General and Governor-elect Greg Abbott, are suing the Obama administration over the president's recent executive actions on immigration.
In a statement, Abbott said the president's unilateral action to offer deportation relief to millions of undocumented immigrants "tramples the U.S. Constitution's Take Care Clause and federal law."
The coalition of states involved in the suit includes: Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Gregg Abbott is a fighter. It has to be a state because the Scotus has original jurisdiction on issues involving states.
WTH Florida...
At least somebody has the gonads to oppose Obozo’s illegal amnesty.
Good but I don’t understand if they win what will be accomplished that obama could not just ignore.
Excellent! I’m glad to see this, and I wish that 33 more states would join. I had hoped some governors would stand up and challenge this.
These states are being invaded, and the president is aiding the invaders.
I’d give Florida a hard time, but I’m planted in California.

He was a tough SOB as DA and now he will be tougher as Governor.
I love the guy! Since I have been in Texas I have 2 solid “wins” — Cruz and Abbott. And a bunch of other smaller good wins as well.
And I hope abortion barbie just freaking disappears!
This is going get goodddd
I think she has. I haven't heard anything about her since the election.
No doubt she will pop up again next year as a paid talking head on MSNBC.
But what do you want to bet that when Brian Williams comes on the air in an hour, he either does not lead with this story, or he spins it to sound like the evil Republicans are doing racist things again?
“At least somebody has the gonads to oppose Obozos illegal amnesty.”
:::::::::::
The Congressional GOP is weak — in spite of their cheap talk. The govs have the cajones. The voters gave the GOP a mandate. Don’t hold any breath.
Don’t see Ohio on this list. John Kasich will be remembered for this.
Glad to see Georgia on the list.
Georgia Ping list worthy?
I’d like to see Nevada on the list.
How much you want to bet the supreme court says they don’t have standing because no damage has been done...yet.
Blacks are going to be the main collateral victims of Obama's anti-Black amnesty.
Amnesty is fundamentally unfair to the millions of legal immigrants who followed the rules and came here legally, Cruz said, per Talking Points Memos Daniel Strauss. Amnesty is fundamentally unfair to the 92 MILLION Americans who arent working here right now. Amnesty is fundamentally unfair to the African American community thats facing historic unemployment.
After destroying the best health care system in the world, Obama is determined to grant wide amnesty to foreigners living illegally in U.S. If Obama wants to make the U.S. into another banana republic, it seems he is well underway to reaching his goal.
The Republicans must make it perfectly clear that Obama has declared a merciless war against the American workers and the middle class of America. There are 92 million of able Americans out of the work force because they cannot find employment and Obama wants to legalize and give work permits to over 11 million illegal aliens allowing them to bring here the rest of their families. In other words, another 25 or 30 million that either will compete with Americans and legal immigrants searching for scarce jobs or are going to be added to welfare, bankrupting Medicaid and the food stamp system as well as ruining even more the quality of the public schools with the massive infuse of hundreds of thousands of children without speaking English to already overburdened schools systems.
Blacks are going to be the main collateral victims of Obama's anti-Black amnesty. Black Americans are already suffering higher unemployment since Obama took power. Obamas new class of protected immigrants will take over their jobs and Blacks will be forced to share their welfare checks and food stamps with them

Obama Was Against Illegal Immigration Before He Was For it

The number of immigrants added to the labor force every year is of a magnitude not seen in this country for over a century. If this huge influx of mostly low-skill workers threatens to depress further the wages of blue- collar Americans and put strains on an already overburdened safety net. (The opinion of the anti-illegal-alien crusader Barack HusseiObama from his 2006 autobiography The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream)
Obama had super majority in both cameras during the first two years of his presidency, but he didnt give the amnesty during his first 100 days as he promised to those living illegally in the country Furthermore, as senator, Obama opposed George W Bush when the republicans tried to give a legal status to those living illegally in U.S.
Blacks are going to be the main collateral victims of Obama's anti-Black amnesty. Black Americans are already suffering higher unemployment since Obama took power. Obamas new class of protected immigrants will take over their jobs and Blacks will be forced to share their welfare checks and food stamps with them
