Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office announced this morning that he had secured a major win against yet another Biden Administration attempt to give thousands of illegal aliens permanent residence status and a path to citizenship.
Paxton's Office announced that he has secured a final judgment that permanently blocked a "parole in place" program after Paxton and America First Legal led a 16-state coalition in a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security.
Paxton said in a statement, “Once again, we have stopped the Biden-Harris Administration’s radical attempts to destroy America’s borders and undermine the rule of law.”
He also said that this scheme would have allowed more than a million illegal aliens to gain citizenship and would have also incentivized more illegal immigration into the United States.
America First Legal Executive Director Gene Hamilton also put out a statement on the victory saying, "Since day one, the Biden-Harris Administration has dedicated itself to the decimation of our immigration system and the erasure of our borders. Time and again, the States stood up. And today, the great State of Texas and the courageous Ken Paxton, alongside a coalition of other brave Attorneys General, succeeded in stopping an illegal program that would have provided amnesty to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens and paved the path for the largest administrative amnesty in American history."
