To tell the truth, I think I would rather deal with illegals from Mexico instead of idiots from California.

I can go with that. At least in theory illegals don't vote but they do occasionally work. Foreigners from those failed States are constantly reminding Texans that our provincial ways need updating and then keep voting in Criminals and other carpetbaggers to lend them financial support.

I used to care about the illegals dumping off their spawn and ruining the government schools, but that is pretty much a given fact that government schools are nothing more than violent, perverted and highly expensive day-care centers

I used to be concerned about drunken driving among the illegals, but the Foreigners from other States are just as dangerous, if not worse with their texting and Facebook updating.

The illegals are often a burden on the social services, but these Foreigners from other States are just as greedy while also being more imaginative and inspired in the things that I am supposed to buy for them.

When it comes to having to deal with the Parasite class, infestation from Latin America seems to be somewhat less painful than the menace carpetbaggers.

People think I’m nuts for suggesting that the time is right for conservatives to come to Michigan and help us build on our momentum. Last year’s GOP wave was greater here than anywhere else in the nation.

We’re socially conservative and starting to see reflecting fiscal policies. We’ve already killed one 20,000 member union this year and were now going after another. Hunting and fishing here matches anything the nation has to offer. We get plenty of snow but our winters are milder than they are west of the great lakes. We sit right square on top of the Antrim formation which is one of the largest shale gas plays in the nation. We just need the political will to tap it.

It doesn’t promise to be easy but those looking for easy will be far happier in California or NYC anyway.

The scary thing is that most liberals in CA are probably glad to hear this news. They think corporations are evil.

Eventually the Host State will expire, and the Zombies will cross into others Host states and begin infecting such states with juicy welfare benefits.

You are right. I am a third generation native Californian, and you would not believe the large percentage of people here who have absolutely no idea that there is anything at all wrong here. A local radio station man-on-the-street poll just polled whether people would vote for Mitt Romney or Obama, and a majority said Obama and most said they thought he was doing a good or a great job as president. And this is a rural county, not the bay area or LA. The special election for CA-35 yesterday was projected to have 15% turnout of registered voters. You would not believe the percentage of people here who do not know what is going on and do not care.

Then you deserve what you ask for. The ones leaving CA are the conservative productive ones. The illegals will only take and take and take. They'll take your free handouts and when that isn't enough, they'll steal from you. Go for it.

You might need a history test before you are allowed to move to Texas my FRiend.You couldn't pay me to move there. And I was born and raised in Texas. And moved back there for a year and a half about 5 years ago. It was as hot and miserable and ugly as I remembered. And full of illegals. And arrogance.

No disrespect intended to the 5 Texans that are not that way ;)

Ah, Pelosi, the Wine Train gal.... From 8 of 2009.

Come on over, friend. Texas is where it’s at!!! Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Amarillo, etc. are all doing very well compared to the rest of the USA. Yes, it’s hot and sticky in the summers, but free enterprise and private business are alive and thriving in the Lone Star state. Bring your talent, your skill, your hard work and help make us stronger every day!!!

In Texas, Democrats and Republicans in the state legislature were looking at doing some of the same things California did with the online internet sales tax crap and wanting to mix it up with Amazon, probably due to Wal-Mart and Target and other retailers lobbying them. Amazon closed a large warehouse in Texas over the issue. There is a lot going on right now. Wal-Mart, Target, and others are threatened, and they dumping a lot of lobbying money into this.

Truth be told, we pay some Texans to be rude to outsiders just to scare them away, because we want yall to feel reeaalll unwelcome.

After all, you know what they say about those great hidden secrets, right? Well we Texans consider our state to be one of the best kept secrets in America. That's why we allow all the redneck jokes to be passed around.

Actually, we Texans love all Freepers, because regardless of what state you come from, if you are a member of FR then you are probably going to be good for our state.

So any FReepers moving from California can bypass the written test and go straight to the initiation process that all those moving from other states must go through after they pass the written exam. Oh don't worry none, it's a real fun initiation that will allow you to officially join the elite fraternity of good old boy Texans, like myself.

The initiation is carried out by a judge of highly respected and well trained judges.

You can check out the judges putting a couple of recent transplants from SF through the initiation process in this video put out by our welcoming committee. These happy dudes are now residing someplace in the West Texas panhandle.

It takes a special kind to be a Michigan redneck.

Santa Anna was not killed by Sam Houstons men.

No, he was captured the next day, dressed in a private's uniform, hiding in a marsh.

Typical Mexican Hero.

Friend, what you say may very well be true, but keep this in mind. Walmart and Target are giants in Texas and have great political sway and economic flexibility. And....on a small sidebar, worth taking note of, two of the largest California burger joints. Carl Jr’s & In and Out burgers are rooting and growing all over Texas!!! You cannot believe the pain in my heart to see California a shadow of the former great and leading state of the fabulous 50’s & 60’s, Beach Boys & hot rods & dragsters and custom rods, the cutting edge of the USA. Shucks even the Hollywood pictures are now filmed in Canada!!! Liberalism is truly a human cancer!!!

[OneVike]

Yes I bet it does, but I think I would rather be a redneck from Michigan than a rubbernecker from California.
