A group of 17 states, led by Texas, are suing President Obama over the constitutionality of his Executive Order on immigration. The order protects 5 million illegal immigrants from deportation, which Attorney General of Texas Greg Abbott, who filed the claim, says "tramples" the Constitution.
Texas was joined by Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

So, especially the non-US-residents, what do you think of this?
Personally, I think that this was a right move to make, even as a symbolic gesture. I believe that states should stand up to our federal government, when they fail to do what is right for the country as a whole, as well as individual states, counties, municipalities, and law-abiding citizens.
