BOCA RATON, Fla. — Texas Gov. Rick Perry said the Lone Star State might sue Barack Obama’s administration over the president’s planned executive order to grant relief to as many as 5 million undocumented immigrants.
“I think that’s probably a very real possibility,” Perry said during a panel here at the Republican Governors Association’s annual meeting.
Perry, who is considering another presidential bid in 2016, said the cost of illegal immigration is “extraordinary.” He said his state spends $12 million a month on securing the border.
Perry remarked that state Attorney General Greg Abbott, who was recently elected governor, has described his current job like this: “I go to the office, I sue Obama and I go home.”
Ask Dewhurst... oh wait, he got the Boot last election. ;)

No, I’m talking about what I hear politicians say and the difference in what they do regardless of whether they’re state or government with very few exceptions.
Yeah, we had to boot him twice, just to see the look on his face.
Wow, such a mature comment. Not worthy of a retort.
I included Perry because with his actions concerning the NG, he posited himself as taking tough action on the border.
The reality is Perry did nothing that stops the flood. The flood that Obama facilitates by essentially removing our border patrol off the border.
I won't be voting for him at any level. Perry is a non-issue as far as I'm concerned.
Perry's replacement was NOT the GOP-E favorite. Dewhurst was, but he got sent back to his ranch.

Politicians are worse than spies.
They never tell you what is going on.
What relevance does that have?
My comments about the Founders was concerning the Constitutional destroying actions by Obama. It has nothing directly to do with Texas.
Perry is out of the picture state wide after January anyway. He was too liberal.

I beg your pardon.
Yes, but if RINO Rick Perry had his way Dewhurst would be senator and Ted Cruz, one of the most conservative men in the senate would never have made it to Washington.
Perry is a fraud, and his is FOR amnesty. No thanks.
The waving of arms and shouting is good. It is meant to be a deterrent to his lawlessness, and a signal that it will not go well for him. If he proceeds, which it seems he will, then he will have done so intending to go to war with the people.
No, they wouldn't be screaming for us to tar and feather any person who is guilty of treason, if that's what "traitorous" means.
Just sayin'.
I want conservatives in Austin, not necessarily Republicans.

Overwhelming him with lawsuits might be fun.
The libtards liked to do that to Sarah Palin, which forced her to resign before they bankrupted her.
left out “federal” government
I wasn’t accusing you of attempting to sell him. I was adding to your comments. As liberal as Perry is he still has his supporters in this forum. I inject as much truth about the man as I can so as to not allow the pro-Perry/pro-southern invader contingent to dominate the thread with their pro-Perry propaganda.
I wish he was a non issue. But he will be there as a GOP spoiler for a decade or two and they will trot him out every time they need a ‘conservative’ to ‘prove’ their position is ‘acceptable to conservatives’ because, well, Rick Perry! he’s UBER conservative!...in the eyes of many deluded idiots.
