Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton today released the following statement regarding the Obama Administrations motion in the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to stay the district courts February 16 preliminary injunction in Texas v. United States:
President Obamas unconstitutional use of executive power to accomplish what he couldnt do in Congress sets a dangerous precedent that threatens the fabric of our Republic. The most pressing issue at hand is the extent to which the Obama Administration has already issued expanded work permits to illegal immigrants in direct contradiction to what they told the district court. Further as the court noted in granting a preliminary injunction any implementation of President Obamas directives will be difficult if not impossible to reverse. The State of Texas and a bipartisan coalition of 25 other states will continue to oppose the Presidents unilateral and lawless actions and we expect the federal government to fully explain its contradictions in court next week."
Texas leads a 26-state bipartisan coalition fighting the Presidents attempt to unilaterally grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. Joining Texas in the lawsuit are: Alabama Arizona Arkansas Florida Georgia Idaho Indiana Kansas Louisiana Maine Michigan Mississippi Montana Nebraska Nevada North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Utah West Virginia Wisconsin.
