What are the chances of Texas winning this DACA lawsuit?

Quote:

Federal District Judge Andrew Hanen will hear the case of Texas v. Nielsen, in which six other states along with Texas will argue that the 2012 program instituted by the Obama administration is unconstitutional and causes “financial harm through healthcare, education and law enforcement costs.”

However, legal experts are skeptical that Paxton’s arguments will hold up. Texas is using the same arguments it used in 2014 to block the Deferred Action of Parents of Americans (DAPA) program.

“It’s not just speculative this time, it’s what these people have contributed in the time that they’ve had DACA,” Rocio Martinez, a Fort Worth immigration attorney from the Law Office of Francisco and Daniel Hernandez, said.

“The upside of the judge siding with the Texas Attorney General is that there would be a conflict between the federal courts because something similar to this has already been decided in other federal courts, so the Supreme Court would have to get involved in that situation,” she said. “The president can’t just pick and choose which one he’s going to listen to if there’s multiple decisions.”
