                 FEDERAL TEXAS JUDGE IMMIGRATION RULING

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, my constituents and a majority 
of Americans oppose President Obama's executive amnesty. His amnesty is 
unconstitutional, which is why I am pleased that U.S. district court 
Judge Andrew Hanen has blocked Obama's amnesty from going into effect. 
Not surprisingly, the administration is now appealing.
  As the legal process works its way through the courts, Congress must 
continue to stand strong and fight the President's unlawful amnesty. 
Just this month, I exposed Obama's empty words that illegals getting 
amnesty would be paying taxes. The IRS Commissioner confirmed that 
Obama's amnesty will, in fact, allow the IRS to give illegals thousands 
of dollars.
  These tax refunds aren't refunds in the usual sense but amnesty 
checks from the IRS. This is wrong. I am working on legislation to stop 
it. Law-abiding and hardworking American taxpayers deserve nothing 
less.
