8 states sue Biden over immigration policy

 Hot Air:

The State of Texas filed its 9th lawsuit against the Biden administration Friday. Seven other states joined Texas in a lawsuit against the administration for its abuse of the Central American Minors (CAM) Refugee and Parole Program.

The announcement was made during a border security briefing held by Governor Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for attorneys general from other states concerned about the Biden border crisis. The conference attendees received updates on the border and toured the area. The attorneys general attending the briefing in Weslaco, Texas were from Arkansas, Alaska, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, and West Virginia. Abbott stressed the importance of collaboration with other states to secure the border. Border security is an issue that affects all states, not just Texas.

Paxton is running for re-election. He has provided guidance on court rulings and federal immigration policies to help local law enforcement, property owners, and other Texans dealing with the Biden border crisis.

Ill-conceived immigration policies created by the Biden Administration have wreaked havoc on our communities and placed a massive burden on our country,“ Paxton said in a statement.

“I want to thank our local, state and federal law enforcement officials and my fellow attorneys general, who attended the summit, for making this issue one of their top priorities. This affects them too. Every state in the country is a border state. I will not allow this looming crisis on the border to continue to bring violence, drug cartels, and human trafficking to our communities,” Paxton said.

When Governor Abbott was Texas Attorney General during the Obama days, his favorite line was to tell audiences that he woke up every day and found a way to sue the Obama administration. Paxton has taken a similar approach in dealing with the Biden administration, especially over security issues and the southern border. Texas has received support from many other states since the crisis began when Biden came into office.

... The CAM program provides immigrants the ability to petition the U.S. government to bring in extended family members from Honduras, El Salvador, or Guatemala. The immigrants from the Northern Triangle countries have the ability to secure protected status.

Biden's failure to enforce immigration laws properly is a disgrace.  He is ignoring the law while trying to change the demographics of this country and hoping to import Democrat voters.

It should be obvious that they are doing it because Biden opened the borders to them and refused to enforce US immigration law.
