When Barack Obama was sworn in as President, he took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. His decision tonight to go around 535 elected lawmakers and grant special rights to non-citizens through executive fiat is out of bounds and violates this oath. The Presidents hasty executive order threatens the very fabric of our constitutional Republic and intentionally bypasses the essential checks and balances of our democracy. He has recklessly put the rights of foreign citizens before the rights of American citizens and before the rule of law. The majority of Texans understand that the Presidents immigration policy is not the kind of reform that is good for Texas or our families. Rather than solve the border crisis through the proper channels, this type of executive order only exacerbates the problem. As State Senator, I will do everything in my power to stand up for the rule of law and fight this reckless and unconstitutional maneuver against the citizens of Texas.
