All part of the plan to turn TX deep blue.

It’s working too.

Once amnesty passes TX is a goner for the GOP.

If we can have TSA harass a baby’s diaper or grandma in a walker...we have the resources to seal the border and deport Illegal Aliens

Yup. It won’t belong now until Americans have no say in who is running their government.

Until a couple of years ago our family has always hunted deer in south Texas. We have seen people coming out of the Rio Grand with their bundles on their heads, groups of 15 or 20. We have happened on small groups in the brush. My husband even found a woman who had just given birth on the ground.

If Mexico wasn't such a corrupt pest hole they might want to stay there, but with jobs and money and all they have to do is get here, they are going to come.

HEY!
Robbins!

I live in southern Arizona across the border with Mexico and I don't see the militarization of the border.

Data: Texas Had Most Border Patrol Arrests in 2013

The Border Patrol made 420,789 apprehensions in the fiscal year that ended in
September. That is a 16 percent increase from the previous year but still 42
percent below 2008. As usual, more than 98 percent of those arrests were made
on the Southwest border. And nowhere saw more arrests than Texas.

Agents in Texas made 235,567 arrests.

According to the DPS, the plane is being used for surveillance and
assisting operations along the US-Mexico border.

The plane, purchased from Swiss company Pilatus Aircraft Ltd., is jam-packed with
military-style features including high-resolution and thermal imaging surveillance
cameras, a $300,000 downlink system allowing the crew to send real-time footage anywhere
in the state. As a bonus, the package also came with four night-vision goggles worth about $60,000.

Opt for Salt Water Crocodiles, like they have in Australia.

Salt Water Crocodiles are Big and have a Bad Attitude.

Everything is food.

Surely you jest Shirley. We lost that pretty much about the time of FDR and certainly LBJ! The Marxists are just running a clean up operation now...that is until the shooting starts.

And once Texas is gone, the GOP will never control anything higher than the House.

There is no roadmap to victory for a Republican presidential candidate that cedes Texas to the Democrats. It's just not possible.

You’re right. It’s lights out then.

But Romney won in Texas by 16 points in 2012. That’s equivalent to Obama’s margin in Illinois.

Maybe if Mexicans would put just half the energy into fixing their country that they do into destroying ours than maybe someday Mexicans won’t have to run away from Mexico. I’m sick of these f’ing people. Mexicans are a bunch of pugnacious arrogant beggars who feel that simply because they’re only one of two countries in all the world to share a border with The United States that some how this confers a de facto right on them to just waltz on in here. No one has the legal right to illegally enter someone else’s country. They are in violation of the law, they don’t pay the taxes we do nor do they think they have to obey any of our laws.
