Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas - Todays action by the U.S. Supreme Court effectively blocking President Obamas illegal amnesty program is a major victory for Texas and the bipartisan 26-state coalition.
The Courts 4-4 vote leaves in place the Fifth Circuits ruling that protects the separation of powers. The president has no authority to circumvent Congress and disregard the U.S. Constitution by allowing millions of illegal immigrants to continue to stay in the U.S.
I will continue to lead the effort to secure the Texas border. Last session the Senate lead to increase funding to an unprecedented $800 million for border security. In Texas we are taking the right steps to protect our citizens. I thank those in Texas law enforcement who are on the front lines every day for us. Next session border security will continue to be a top priority for me.
