Well, I guess people forget that the Constitution is a contract between the states and the Federal Government. If Obama can breach it willy nilly, than what’s to stop a state from suing itself out of the Union, like Texas?

All it takes is the legislature to vote us out and a governor with some balls and Texas is out. Unfortunately the only governor we’ve had with balls in decades was Ann Richards.

Or, what’s to stop states from deciding who is eligible to vote within the state.... who’s to stop them from marking the newly ‘amnestied’ as ineligible? Or, who is eligible for any state benefits? Or, eligible to attend schools? Or eligible to obtain a driver license. Or rent/own a home, or car...etc

Hard Ball.

If the newcomers can’t vote in the red states they are mostly useless to the democrats...they become instead a burden to them.
