House Republican leadership’s strategy of waiting to combat President Obama’s executive amnesty via the power of the purse until next year is a ‘punt’ and a cowardly one, according to Rep. Matt Salmon (R-AZ). “To me the old adage ‘he who fights and runs away lives to fight another day’ is a coward,” Salmon tells reporters Tuesday.

President Obama insisted Tuesday that his successor won’t take the political risk that would come with reversing his recent executive action on immigration reform.
Speaking at a town-hall meeting in Nashville, the president said it’s “theoretically” possible that the next administration could undo the amnesty Mr. Obama has granted to more than 4 million illegal immigrants, but he assured a crowd of undocumented Americans that such a step it is extremely unlikely.

Work permits for millions of illegal aliens is just the beginning of President Barack Obama’s unlawful attack on American workers at every skill level.
He “can’t wait” to impose new immigration regulations in order to expand the pool of people looking for work — despite stagnant wages and record low labor participation rates signaling the foolishness of doing so — he’s just not going to tell you about it.

Sen. Jeff Sessions continued his assault on President Barack Obama’s executive amnesty Monday, telling Judicial Watch that Obama has created an “entirely new immigration system” with his immigration overhaul less than three weeks ago.
In the address to the watchdog organization, the Alabama senator added that neither the president nor the executive branch are “empowered” to make these changes.

President Obama's executive action on immigration may have cost him his pick to enforce the nation's border laws.
Sarah Saldaña, nominated by the president to lead the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, once looked to be on a glide path to confirmation. She had earned praise for her work as the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Texas and had the support of a key member of the Senate Republican leadership.

Seventeen states, led by Texas Attorney General and Governor-elect Greg Abbott, are suing the Obama administration over the president's recent executive actions on immigration.
In a statement, Abbott said the president's unilateral action to offer deportation relief to millions of undocumented immigrants "tramples the U.S. Constitution's Take Care Clause and federal law."

Nearly two weeks after President Obama announced an executive order on immigration, Gov. Rick Perry announced an order of his own.
At a news conference Wednesday, Perry said he would be requiring all state agencies to use E-Verify, a federal electronic employee verification system that aims to prevent the hiring of illegal workers. Perry said anyone contracting with state agencies would have to use E-Verify as well. The executive order takes effect immediately.
