Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) accused President Obama of "punishing" Texas and being "hell-bent" on turning the United States into a socialist country, reports Politico.
Said Perry: "This is an administration hell-bent toward taking American towards a socialist country. And we all don't need to be afraid to say that because that's what it is."
Perry also accused the Obama administration of intentionally dumping illegal immigrants from other western states in Texas.
