Multistate coalition sues over immigration order

Texas is leading a 17-state coalition in suing over the Obama administration's recently announced executive actions on immigration.

Many top Republicans have denounced President Barack Obama's unilateral move designed to spare as many as 5 million people living illegally in the United States from deportation.

But Texas Gov.-elect Greg Abbott took it a step further Wednesday, filing a lawsuit in federal court in the Southern District of Texas. Texas is joined by 16 other, mostly southern and Midwestern states, including Alabama, Georgia, Idaho and Indiana.

Obama has not made any Executive Order.

He has made 2 Presidential Memoranda both dated November 21, 2014.

Thanks for the case !!

I was looking for that.

Indiana.

Woo hoo my home state.

Hell '5 million people' is almost as much as its entire population, and some other states in the union.

That is just insane.

The illegals are going to continue to pour across the border and scatter, no matter what piece of paper is signed. Till the immigration laws are strictly enforced and companies stop hiring them, it's just smoke and mirrors to make it appear Washington is doing something.
