An excerpt from the Supreme Court’s
ruling in Arizona v. United States:
“Immigration policy shapes the destiny of the Nation. On
May 24,2012, at one of this Nation’s most distinguished muse-
ums of history, a dozen immigrants stood before the tattered
flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write the National
Anthem. There they took the oath to become American cit-
izens....These naturalization ceremonies bring together men
and women of different origins who now share a common des-
tiny. They swear a common oath to renounce fidelity to foreign
princes, to defend the Constitution, and to bear arms on behalf
of the country when required by law....The history of the Unit-
ed States is in part made of the stories, talents, and lasting
contributions of those who crossed oceans and deserts to come
here. The National Government has significant power to reg-
ulate immigration. With power comes responsibility, and the
sound exercise of national power over immigration depends
on the Nation’s meeting its responsibility to base its laws on a
political will informed by searching, thoughtful, rational civ-
ic discourse. Arizona may have understandable frustrations
with the problems caused by illegal immigration while that
process continues, but the State may not pursue policies that
undermine federal law.”

TEXAS PRESS ASSBEIATIBH
Movers put historical collections back in mansion
AUSTIN - Signs that the governor’s mansion soon will
be functional again have been evident recently. Pieces
from the governor’s mansion collection were being
moved back into the stately home that in June 2008
was heavily damaged by arson.
The governor’s press office announced June 20 the
return of the collection marks the first stage of the
move phase of the restoration of the mansion and that
Gov. Rick Perry and family are expected to resume
residence when the restoration project is completed in
late July. Among pieces in the collection are the bed
used by Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin’s writing
desk and portraits of Gov. and Mrs. Pease, who was in
office when the Governor’s Mansion was built in 1856.
The collection also includes the governors’ memento
collection, a tradition started in the 1960s by then-first
lady Jean Houston Daniel.
The restoration, overseen by the State Preserva-
tion Board, has been made possible by nearly $3.5 mil-
lion in private donations and a $21.5 million appropri-
ation by the Texas Legislature, the governor’s office
said. The Texas Department of Public Safety urges
anyone with information related to the arson to call
Crime Stoppers at 800.252.TIPS or the state fire mar-
shal’s arson hotline at 988.252.8477.
ABM wins bid fur center
Texas A&M University System on June 18 an-
nounced its successful bid to become one of three na-
tional biosecurity centers. The $285.6 million contract
includes an initial investment of $176.6 million from
the federal government, with the remainder cost-
shared by commercial and academic proposal part-
ners, A&M reported.
“We have long served our nation and risen to de-
fend our country against national security threats,”
said Texas A&M System Chancellor John Sharp.
“Our selection... reflects that tradition and means we
are enhancing the nation’s ability to counter biological
and pandemic threats, both known and unknown, with
vaccines manufactured here in the United States. We
would like to thank President Obama and his adminis-
tration; we are honored to be selected and to have the
Texas A&M System’s unique capabilities leveraged to
meet critical 21st-century challenges.”
Texas A&M joins sites in Maryland and North
Carolina as centers working to develop and manufac-
ture drugs to fight bioterrorist threats, pandemic in-
fluenza and other infectious diseases. The new center
at Texas A&M, along with the biocontainment work
going on at the UTMB Galveston National Laborato-
ry, “keeps Texas at the forefront of national security
research and protecting Americans from threats of
bioterrorism,” said State Rep. Dan Branch, R-Dallas,
chairman of the House Committee on Higher Educa-
tion. A&M officials said the center could lead to the
creation of 1,000 jobs over the next five years.
