Title: Fighting Obama in the Courthouse
Topic: Fighting Obama in the Courthouse
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)

Part 1 of 3

Eighteen states are suing the federal government in federal court in Texas over President Obama's amnesty plan. More could be added to the lawsuit. Some people say “So what?” Here’s why it matters…

First, the US Supreme Court requires individual states to pay for all education costs for children in the US illegally. Second, the US Supreme Court obligates each individual state to pay for all health care costs for everyone in the US illegally. Third, the US Supreme Court has prohibited individual states from building their own fence to deter illegal immigrants from coming into the US.

Obama himself has even stated, on record, that he doesn’t have the power to grant blanket amnesty to millions of illegals! Listen in as Hans von Spakovsky explains the situation we are in and why these eighteen states are suing the federal government.

Will the suit be moved to another state or to Washington DC? Listen in as Hans von Spakovsky talks about the court it’s filed in! There’s an interesting twist you want to know about!

Now is not the time for Congress to sit back, relax, and let the states fight the amnesty order. Hans says the House needs to act now. But can they find the necessary Democrats to join their forces? What does Hans believe will happen?
