A Republican has accused the President of the United States Barack Obama of hurrying a federal judge in Texas and goading him towards according a favorable ruling on the executive actions concerning immigration.

The Republican was quoted as saying that the government was trying to rush the ruling through the system as it wanted the judge to change his mind and illegally get the executive order amnesty granted. This, the Republican said, it would not be successful in doing.

It so happened that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was preparing to implement the President’s orders when it was halted in the month of February. The state of Texas happens to be one of the 26 states suing the White House over the ruling. 100,000 expanded work permits had already been granted to illegal immigrants before the ruling. Many attorneys have sharply criticized the move, as they argued that a federal court was misled by the administration, when new rules pertaining to the permit had taken effect. It was said that the Obama administration appeared to have gone on and issued the work permits, in direct contradiction to what they had reported to a federal judge during litigation.
