you have got to show you have been harmed. tell me how texas has been harmed so can you even get in the door of the courthouse several things, greta. you saw doca. that led to a thousand people a day coming across the texas border from central america. so the cause and effect relationship about these executive orders has already been established. appear anticipated that this presidential order will likewise zi same already cause and effect relationship with regard to future effort of people trying to come across the border. in addition to that greta, because of the president s prior order texas has already sustained costs into the millions, maybe into the hundreds of millions of dollars. a third thing i will throw in to another case. you may remember massachusetts vs. e.p.a.
dollars accord to the new york times for taxes and gets a pass to the white house that offends a lot of people. no item plate for. this we never had a black president for. never had the president that had the balance de facto leader of the community in the country. as erin points out he has struggled with this time and again. even convening like this today. if you are interested to getting to all of the route causes of what fueled what happened in ferguson and the outrage and anger and emotion you need a broader coalition. there are so many good leaders that he could be reaching to on all parts of the spectrum on what people thinks about. he goes back to the same well. the strategy we have seen him use before is creating a task force and trying to start a conversation. but what actually gets done that s tangible, beyond just a task force. i think we are going to have to wait and see. anyway, panel, thank you. thank you. straight ahead, president obama, well, he is about t
standing under parents pat arc. weaker than the standing texas has in this case. tell me quickly, when are you filing? greta it, will be any day now. we are dotting the is and crossing the t s. come on back as soon as do you. thank you, sir. thank you. florida s new congressman elect. son of cuban exiles he says president obama should have given congress the chance to work on immigration before taking executive action. congressman elect joins us. good evening, sir. greta, good evening. and congratulations on that big packer win yesterday afternoon. we can always use those wins we love those wins. , congratulations to you. you are coming to congress. we have talked before. this is the first time on tv. i m curious if one of the top issues facing the new congress, immigration? what do you think? yeah, greta. if we want to solve this
