Nevada and Tennessee Make It 26 States Suing To Stop Obama’s Amnesty

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Monday that both Nevada and Tennessee have joined the Lone Star state’s challenge of President Obama’s executive amnesty, bringing the total number of states fighting Obama’s unilateral immigration policies to 26.
“Texas is proud to lead a coalition that now includes a majority of the United States standing up against the President’s rogue actions,” Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement. “The momentum against the President’s lawlessness continues to build with Tennessee and Nevada joining the effort to protect our states from the economic and public safety implications of illegal amnesty. As President Obama himself has said numerous times, he lacks the authority to impose amnesty. His actions represent a blatant case of overreach and clear abuse of power.”
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen already heard oral arguments in the case January 15th, where Texas argued that Obama’s amnesty would create a new wave of illegal immigration that would burden state governments. “This is the second time they’ve done it in two years,” Texas attorney Andrew Oldham told Hanen. “People think: They’ve done it twice in two years. Maybe they’ll do it again in 2016.”
Obama lawyer Kathleen Hartnett disputed that claim, insisting that new arrivals will not come “on the expectation of receiving deferred action because they will be turned away.” “His policy only applies to people who have been here since 2012,” she said.
Judge Hanen is not likely to buy that administration argument. In a 2013 case, Hanen predicted that Obama’s lax border enforcement policies would lead to a wave of illegal immigration. And that is exactly what happened in 2014.
Texas and the other 25 states are asking Judge Hanen to issue an injunction that would stop Obama from giving out any work permits before the program gets up and running in May.
If Obama’s amnesty does stand it will cost taxpayers billions in tax credits every year.
With Tennessee and Nevada, the full list of 26 states suing Obama over his executive amnesty 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.

Congress should have impeached Obama years ago. He and his regime violate the Constitution on a daily basis.
But, again, I believe Congress cannot impeach Obama without the risk of the truth about Barry being exposed in the process, no matter what the stated reason of the many available to impeach might be. That truth would expose Congress, both parties, part in assisting and allowing an ineligible, identity fraud con-artist to usurp the presidency. That would mean prison or worse not only for the usurper but for those complicit in the usurpation and the 6 year cover-up.
Congress protects Obama to protect themselves. A lawsuit can be controlled. The information released can be controlled and it helps Congress to look as if they are doing SOMETHING while they try to get Barry across the finish line in January, 2017 still officially considered a legitimate president. I don’t see why, if people will just look back at Congress actions and inaction on Obama over the part 6 years, it is not crystal clear he is protected by Congress in order to protect themselves from charges of treason for allowing the usrpation.
All of today’s never ending political talk is just part of the charade of legitimacy the guilty must maintain, at least until Barry in no longer the pResident.
