Carter (R-TX-31) voted in support of House Resolution 639 which authorizes the Speaker to file an amicus brief on behalf of the House of Representatives in the case of United States v. Texas. In this court case before the Supreme Court, Texas is challenging the authority of President Obama and his executive amnesty.

“I stand on the side of our laws and fully support the State of Texas in the pursuit to stop President Obama's unlawful executive amnesty,” said Rep. Carter. “I am proud to lend my name to this amicus brief that will be filed with the Supreme Court and fully support the Speaker in his efforts to reverse Obama’s immigration executive orders.”
