The basis of the lawsuit is that the program, as currently operated, violates the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution.

As Breitbart News reported previously, the Refugee Resettlement Program in 12 states is under the “Wilson-Fish alternative program.” State governments in those states have informed the federal government they will not operate the resettlement program in their state.

Citing the 1984 Wilson-Fish amendment to the Immigration and Naturalization Act as legal authorization, the federal government has handed over operational authority for the local resettlement to selected VOLAGs, such as Catholic Charities, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, and the International Rescue Committee.

Texas Gov Greg Abbott is a leader who gets things done:

<><> he lead 26 AG's in the successful legal fight to get Obama's heinous amnesty EO's out on hold.

<><> Abbott recently found the funding loophole that could prevent Obama
from forcing taxpayers to finance Syrian refugees squatting in the US.

<><> Gov Abbot first warned--now he's suing non-profit groups to cease their refugee activities in his state.
