Does this governor-elect have any teeth in his words or is it all political tongue wagging?
In an interview, Gov.-elect Greg Abbott, the current attorney general, said Texas Obama’s frequent vows to invoke questionable executive power to change immigration law have forced Texans to prepare for yet another “surge” of illegals crossing from the south.
Texas has shouldered considerable expense dealing with the problem of illegal immigration that’s being worsened by the White House, Abbott said, and one horn of any lawsuit would be getting the federal government to pay for problems it’s causing.
But he said the larger point is that immigration laws are made by the country from Capitol Hill, not the White House.
“We’re expecting the White House will not cross the line,” he said. “If the president crosses the line, he’s going to see an overwhelming rejection of what he’s trying to do.”
Paula Sue Larkin, our laws DO apply to the President and every member of Congress. They, apparently, have forgotten they are not above our laws. They also have apparently forgotten that THEY WORK FOR AND ANSWER TO US. COURSE, THEY FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY THAT WE CAN REMOVE THEM AS WELL.
What Jeff Estep says..
Stop it now
Please somebody with some authority to help us American citizens
Andrea Clark, I like the way you think!
Sue, impeach….just do something!
I see everyone stating lawsuits takes years. Typically, but not lawsuits of this nature. Plus there are things called injunctive relief.
Will you just stop with the suing tactic …and put your big boy pants on …and starve Obama from funding of any kind …..That’s why Republicans were voted in …….
What does suing do? It will take years for that.
Hit his pocketbook, which is actually our pocketbook. At least keep his c**p out of Texas.
