Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas The Obama Administrations election-year tactic to bypass Congress and arbitrarily grant amnesty to potentially millions of illegal immigrants is another example of its blatant disregard for our Constitution our rule of law and our democratic process said Texas Gov. Rick Perry yesterday while addressing the Obama Administrations immigration announcement.
The laws of this nation are not open to selective convenient or political interpretation; they are the very foundation of our freedom and the protections they guarantee make our nation strong and attractive to immigrants around the world - millions of whom abide by our laws and processes and seek legal entry.
These are decisions that should be thoroughly debated within the halls of Congress.
This Administration has failed to provide a secure border which is essential to national security and is instead granting blanket amnesty to those who have broken our laws. Failed border security and immigration policies have created a magnet for those who came in the first place.
Its clear President Obama prefers to upend the rule of law picking winners and losers rather than work with Congress and the American people on a sustainable long-term solution" said the Texas governor.
