Tonight, for the first time, an undocumented immigrant will speak at a national political convention. Benita Veliz, 27, was brought to Texas from Mexico by her parents when she was 8 years old. She was threatened with deportation in 2009 after rolling through a stop sign and getting stopped by police.

I have tried to not respond to much of you’re negativism, because I understand the frustration....but dang, please stop.... Your last 27,000 posts may as well have been from a liberal/Obama worshiper, because all you do is criticize Repubs....geez, at least go after the Dems at least 1/10 times... ;o)

I was at a McDonalds today and listened as one of the managers explained the ice cream machine to a new employee. In Spanish. And I thought of all the unemployed Americans.

Meanwhile, one of my sons has a job, and one of the managers keeps altering sons hours so that he is paid less. The managers do all clocking in and out. They also require all tips to be put in the community cup to be doled out later. There was one day when my son was handed a $50 tip that he was told to put in the group cup. His paycheck reflected that he earned $7 in tips. He had also been handed a $20 tip on the same day. Yes, he needs to find another job. But the scamming managers need to be fired. My point here is that he can’t complain because this job is better than no job. But it is sooooooo disappointing to him to expect his paycheck to be a certain amount and then to find that he is missing hours due to dishonest managers.

As I recall, an undocumented immigrant was the keynote speaker in 2004, and the main event in 2008 and 2012.

Yes I understand this and you would think it would be the other way around.

You would think our Country would make room for the American Citizen’s Child in the front of the line in a class room, but that is not the way it is.

It is the other way around. Lowered rates for illegal invaders. Hand out for illegal invaders. Front seats and front rows for illegal invaders.

Up is down and down is up. Only thing I agree with Odumbo on, Time for a Change, a big change. Texas needs to Secede and Secede now. Drive these freeloaders out of our Country.

If you don’t do it soon, California is your future. Trust me, I was born here in 1960 and I’ve seen the entire slide from a great and productive state into pathetic liberal FAIL.

You are going down the same road.

“a celebraztion of abortion, transgenderism, illegal aliens,
defiance of God, pandering, and silliness...”

———hey, it’s a cultural thing.When the Democrats lift one corner up,
everything that’s not allready nailed down in a state of stability,
winds up in their enclosure, which is why they’re left with their natural constituencies, which you just named.
They used to say the same thing about California, now a flagship state for Democratic party interests.

Why only threatened? She should have been on the next bus out.

Almost sounds like they want to lose.

When the economic collapse at state and federal levels happens, they want Pubbies in control. That’s got to be the plan.

I do not know how this illegal invader entered school, but all of these illegal invaders were helped along by Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” Bull Scat. This legislation is breaking our schools in Texas and driving our school and property taxes out the roof. More than likely, not only Texas.

Same in CA, illegals are gang raping the tax payers, all supported by state biggov, much like the government oppressors their millions of employees with their gold plated government pensions/benefits.

Obayma was the “first” undocumented alien in ‘08.
