From the Office of the Governor of Texas:
AUSTIN
– Gov. Rick Perry today released a statement regarding the Obama
Administration's immigration announcement:
"The Obama
Administration's 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. 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. It's 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."
