Immigration reform advocates protest at Obama’s LGBT victory lap
MSNBC ^ | June 18, 2014 | By Emma Margolin

President Obama took a much-deserved victory lap on LGBT equality Tuesday night, declaring before an adoring crowd in New York City that his administration has “been able to do more to protect the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans than any administration in history.”

And he’s right.

As President Obama prepared to celebrate his historic record on advancing LGBT equality, dozens of protesters gathered on the street to point out one major black mark. Under this administration, approximately two million undocumented immigrants – many, LGBT – have been deported to countries where their sexual orientation or gender identity can get them killed.

The president has never made specific reference to the challenges facing LGBT, undocumented immigrants. But on Tuesday, he did call on Americans to show compassion for those “who are contributing to our society and just want the chance to move out of the shadows.”

Not long ago, the same could have been said for LGBT citizens of the U.S.

Nothing preventing them from controlling their deviant urges when they get back.

Being a sexual deviant doesn't make you a refugee, just sick.

For a man who “evolved” on this issue (turning 180 degrees from his stated campaign position on the issues) he sure is proud of homosexualists.

Fellow Texans, flood out the faxes, emails and phones at the governor’s office and your representatives!

Ask what they intend to do about massive amount of illegal aliens flooding over our border, bringing crime, drugs, disease and unbelievable expense to the state to care for them.

This is insane!

HOUSTON, Texas—Governor Rick Perry (R-TX) appeared on Fox News’ Fox and Friends show and said Texas lacks the resources and manpower to secure the 1,200 mile border...
BS!

Other Texas elected officials, speaking on condition of anonymity have told Breitbart Texas that Texas does, in fact, have the resources to conduct not only a surge operation, but a prolonged border control operation that would secure the Texas border with Mexico.

Request for Immediate Texas Border Control

We, the undersigned, because the federal government has failed to act, call on the Texas Legislature to develop and fund a border and port of entry security plan utilizing state and local law...

FYI!! NumbersUSA just posted - on their TX member’s Action Board - a link to fax Gov Goodhair and phone call to make to your R Reps supporting Rep Louie Gohmert’s Fortify the Border Amendment.

You have to be registered at NumbersUSA....it’s worth joining for all of the faxes you can send to your elected officials. These are good guys, who’ve been fighting the good fight for YEARS.

Additionally, anyone can call La RAza Rick and anyone can ask their Rep to support Gohmerts
