Houston,Tx. Three Republican candidates for Texas Lt-Governor and Pauken for Governor pledge support for enforcement legislation. Pauken, Dewhurst, Patrick and Patterson all returned the surveys compiled by three Texas advocacy groups for immigration enforcement. "Pauken's opponent, Attorney General Greg Abbott, is MIA on the issue," says Mrs.Theiss, founder of Stop the Magnet, who issued the survey, "It seems he is waiting on DC to save him with an amnesty bill." Unlike his opponents, Patterson also admits his support for the guest-worker plank in the TX GOP platform developed and promoted by the restaurant and construction industries in Texas. In the case of a run-off, Stop the Magnet will reissue a specific questionnaire on whether the candidates support the Texas Solution. Survey responses are available at link: Immigration Vetting Project
We’ll see.
Greg Abbott has got to step up soon and take a position on illegal immigration. I went to his campaign website, and it’s not even listed under the ‘issues’ tab.
This worries me very much. That he’s not right out front and vocal about this tells me that he’s on the wrong side of this thing. It’s a natural red meat issue for any true Texas conservative.
Keep us informed. We read and we vote. Immigration is a very important issue.
yes...I’m writing a blogpost about him and his HISPANIC OUTREACH ADVISOR.If people would call his campaign offices maybe we can shape him up a bit.
Nobody should believe a thing Dewhurst says
I don't want to force a politician to do the right thing. If it's not already in their heart and mind, they're going to eventually find a way to subvert our will anyway.
Just like every politician who talks a good conservative game at election time, then goes right back to acting like a Dem when the people aren't looking.
Patterson is a big NO as far as our family is concerned. Have heard him speak a couple of times about issues this year and he is strongly in favor of a huge increase in the guest worker program. Last time we heard him he acknowledged that it wasn’t being readily accepted by his constituents, but he expects them to “come around” and face reality.
Just too much money from businessmen to too many Republicans who want cheap labor and despise E-verify.
