Texas held the largest naturalization ceremony this week that the Lone Star State’s capital has ever seen. The ceremony was used to assault Donald Trump, the Second Amendment, and the death penalty before 1,210 new U.S. citizens and their families and friends. The Guest of Honor, Democrat Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt told the participants flanked by voter registration tables, “I encourage everyone to register to vote and hopefully, not for that guy who is against immigrants.”
The husband of one of the participants, Kyle Hood, told Breitbart Texas that he was offended that the ceremony was used by the county judge from Austin to advance a political agenda. Hood says he has no particular allegiance to any political party, but thought the event should not have been used to tell new citizens who to vote for president.
He added, “While I do not speak for immigrants, when she was saying that I was thinking the guy [Trump] she was talking about is not against immigrants, he is against illegal immigrants.” He said he thought that most of those sworn in that day would feel the same way, that these newly naturalized citizens were for legal immigration. He was so taken-back at the time she made the comment, he actually wrote it down.
Hood told Breitbart Texas, “I have a problem with her using her title and position to make what I thought was particularly political comments to a captive audience.”

“Seems you’ve become our resident Texas basher. “
Is what I said a lie?
No? Well then what is the issue?
Texas and Texans love to set themselves up as a shining example of being a place where this type of crap either doesn’t happen or CANT happen.
Yet here it is.
Maybe your state government should spend less time on their secession fantasy, and try to deal with these immediate problems.
No one is “disparaging” blessed Texas by pointing out that there seems to be too much bragging for a place that operates little better than any other state, with what seem to be a population that seriously couldn’t care less as long as they can swagger and keep up the act that no one would dare mess with them.
He does want to limit legal immigration, which is a GOOD thing.
At the very least censured....but that wouldn’t be enough. Maybe tarred and feathered.
I like that idea
“...resident Texas basher...”
Noticed the same on a couple Texas specific articles. I just SMH and ignore these folks
Maybe he has, I don't know.
All I know is what sludge has come into the country in the last 7 years.
Some good people, yes.
For now, lets do the 1924-1965 thing and allow NO immigration.
In 40 years we'll see how things are doing.
Then, let's think about immigration.
Seeing some stories lately that should have NY in the headline and not TX.
I know Austin is getting stuffed with liberals Dont know if it’s always been but know some from midwest that moved down there. They were “communists” yet they worked for an investment bank
They’re just jealous.
Its what liberal MARXISTS do.
Austin has been a liberal island in Texas for a long time. Now Houston is pretty bad too. San Antonio has forgotten the Alamo.
Bet that idiot judge is surrounded with armed guards too..since she loves immigrants so much, let those rapeugees move into HER nice rich neighborhood, it outta be lots of fun..maybe they can babysit her kids too
His immigration position paper on his site mentions legal immigration, also says anyone coming here has to provide proof they can financially support themselves. He’s also said in rallies that legal immigration has to be way reduced, that all Americans have to have jobs first.
The day we lose you guys I get a case of JD, get nice and drunk, and jump off the Verrazano.
JK for any worriers.
Is that TRUE?? the 1920 thing?
Was it because of us WOPs :)
We turned out to be a decent lot in the end!!
All the liberals moving here from other states doesn’t help any.
I told my nephew when he moved to NC, “DON’T VOTE TO RUIN EVERYTHING THEY HAVE!!! REMEMBER WHY YOU LEFT!!!!”
He’s a bohemian but THANK GOD he sees “NO WAY” the dems can pay for everything they want, so we’re safe with him.
Why dont you get any of the conservatives, even though they might be a little modderate. They would still vote republican.
NYS is 60 40 dem, so I figure it wouldn’t do much damage. But it seems the libs are leaving after destroying it and we are staying here to try and save it like suckers.
I DO KNOW some harcore conservatives that moved down there.
disgusting breach of his duty, .....hopefully that ‘judge’ can be impeached or voted out SOON!
Blaming the particular state is no different than blaming the gun.
I agree. Haters gonna hate, bless their hearts.
“I encourage everyone to register to vote and hopefully, not for that guy who is against immigrants.”
ILLEGAL immigrants
the left... living a level of ignorance just above brain dead
