What do you think State sues feds for not enforcing immigration law Claims Colorado at high risk of terrorism?

Question

DENVER (KWGN) — U.S. District in Denver heard arguments from a federal government attorney today, who asked the court to throw out a State of Colorado lawsuit against the federal government. The State of Colorado is suing the federal government for not meeting its constitution obligation to protect states from invasion.The lawsuit was approved by Colorado voters who passed Referendum K last November. Referendum K gave the state permission to sue the federal government to enforce immigration law. It passed with 56% voter approval. Six other states have tried similar lawsuits and six times the lawsuit was thrown out of federal court. But Colorado's District Attorney's office said it is taking a different tack.http://cw2.trb.com/news/kwgn-state-sues-feds,0,6071773.story?coll=kwgn-home-2

In 1995, the Texas Governor's [yes, as in George W. Bush] press secretary, Karen Hughes, issued a statement regarding Bush's support of a legal appeal by Texas Attorney General Dan Morales [Texas v. United States, B-94-228 (S.D. Texas 1995) 95-40721 (5th Cir.) (pdf file)], to recover $1.34 billion spent by his state on the incarceration and education of illegal immigrants. Karen Hughes wasn't speaking without authority. In 1995, when Gov. Bush was suing the United States' Government for $5 billion, he said:"If the federal government cannot do its job of enforcing the borders, then it owes the states monies to pay for its failure."

That's right, when George W. Bush was Governor of the State of Texas, he sued the federal government for reimbursement of the costs of incarcerating illegal aliens, yet there are millions more illegal aliens in the United States now than when Bill Clinton was president.And when campaigning for president in 1999, George W. Bush issued this statement:
[Federal expenditures would be more effective] "...at the front end, to stop people from illegally entering our country, not at the back end, by reimbursing states after it has failed to enforce the border." [I] "would allocate additional resources to enforcing the border, so states such as Texas and California would not have the huge expenses they currently do." (San Francisco Chronicle, Sept. 9, 1999)

Answer 1

I think they should list G.W. Bush as a co-defendant and get some of the money he has been lining his pockets with all these years.

Answer 2

All it will take is one of these lawsuits to stick. I hope this one does!
