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.”
I do separate the State and the Federal.

I hope you and About will sue the Feds on this...and I hope others will follow suit...
I promise I won't ever let anyone in the sound of my voice forget what a liberal bastard that Republican is.

I’m supporting Perry & Abbott on this maneuver (if they did not it would sink us) but Cruz for 16.
Well, they are tied at the hip. The GOP coordinates through the party from Fed on down. He will not run for anything but president and only then as a spoiler to peel the vote from the right and send ‘conservatives’ back into a self flagelating frensy of delusion all over again. These guys do nothing in a vacuum. All of this is top down orchestrated. They will do it again. We ignore it at our peril.
One impeachment or numerous lawsuits?
One cut or a thousand cuts?

The iron will of rick perry is as evident now as when he flipflopped on Ebola flight bans.
I’ve no doubt ;) I just can’t see the point of waiting on a sure bet.
They can huff and puff all they want, but in the end, they all cave when pappa gubermint says they'll get their funds cut.
If they really want to be serious, they will file articles of secession.
False choice.
Some states have turned off the Federal faucet on some items.
If they hadn't, Obamacare wouldn't be going back up to the Supremes.

Oh really? How well has that worked out so far? Name me one thing that follows the constitution this clown has done?
There is no longer a constitution. The contract is null and void and the states need not any longer follow it.
BTW..Roberts re wrote Obama care in his ruling. And how many times has the clown re wrote it?
Perry is a lamer duck than Obama.
He has less than 2 months left in office. It will be Abbott who butts heads with Barry, and he is more than capable of doing just that.
Andrew Romano - "But just to be clear: if border security is accomplished, you can envision some sort of path to citizenship for people who are here illegally.
Rick Perry - "Sure."
You are talking about a different case.
And if you really think the contract is null and void, get froggy. I still want to work within the law as long as possible, without the infamatory rhetoric.

With that I agree. But that’s not what La Raza Rick meant. One only need look at his long history of pandering to the ILLEGAL hordes to prove it.
Which and who’s law? Let me know how well that works out for ya.
That has to happen first.

Or they could help organize millions of Americans to go to Washington to discuss the history of the last days of Nicolae Ceausescu as a thought experiment.
