Twenty-five states are now part of a lawsuit challenging President Obama's lawless amnesty agenda...12 states and the District of Columbia filed a brief in the lawsuit in defense of Obama's lawless amnesty...13 states remain on the sidelines.

I guess I can get that Alaska doesn’t care, but Wyoming Missouri, and Kentucky need to get off the pot.
Naturally moonbeam and kamalakazi are all for it in California, and the only reason is to add even more demonrats no matter how much it costs.
New Mexico’s reluctance to fully jump on board is due to the state’s dependence on the federal teat. Don’t want to upset that applecart.
It’s amazing that the vast majority of states are absolutely opposed to o’dummy’s amnesty, yet the feds could care less. Didn’t I read something, somewhere about a government “OF” the people, etc? Guess not.
A lot of these states you have an inactive RINO Governor and an active Democrat AG?
In Indiana the RINO AG is going against Mike Pence.
The irony is the RINO Governor of Mississippi is the only one talking about illegal freeloaders.
Jan Brewer and Governor Abbott say the immigration system is broken.
Iowa's Attorney General is a Democrat and has served in that position for 8 four year terms (not consecutive).
Iowa's governor is a Republican. I don't know if he has publicly opposed the A.G.’s action.
Last Wednesday, Iowa's Republican congressional delegation unanimously backed a move in the U.S. House to overturn President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration, tying the measures to a Department of Homeland Security bill that now will go to the Senate.
On a conference call with reporters, Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, said she had not decided yet whether it was appropriate to tie the immigration measures to the Homeland Security funding bill.
Joni Ernst was just elected to the Senate in 2014.
The GOP has selected Senator Ernst to give the nationally televised response to Obama’s State of the Union speech.
The states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate immigration, immigration a 10th Amendment-protected state power issue.
So the fact that 25 states are suing Obama over amnesty is significant for the following reason. Even if Congress were to propose an immigration amendment to the Constitution to the states which would grant the feds the specific power to regulate immigration, there would probably not be enough states supporting such an amendment to ratify it.
Re: “New Mexico’s reluctance to fully jump on board is due to the state’s dependence on the federal teat.”
Also, 47.3% of New Mexico residents are Hispanic.
Also, New Mexico’s “Republican” governor, Susana Martinez, a former Democrat, supports Amnesty.
Governor Susana Martinez is frequently mentioned as a possible GOP Vice President nominee for 2016.
Although both houses of Missouri’s general assembly are overwhelmingly Republican, both the governor and attorney general are Democrats.
The Commonwealth's Governor and AG I believe are Democrats. I guess they want the votes from our new esteemed guests from south of the border.
