Wonder how he feels about the abduction of over 400 children (American citizens) in Texas by the state of Texas.

“’This is a federal matter,’ said Cuellar, D-Laredo.”

It’s a local matter — a very local matter — if one of these scumbags tries breaking into my house.

I remember his saying something like this to someone else (look for the video).

"This is a federal matter," said Cuellar, D-Laredo. "If the state gets involved you're liable to have a patchwork of laws."

Hey Henry, a patchwork of ENFORCED laws is a million time better than the Feds standing around with their thumb up their a$$.

Geeze Louise, stupid, ignorant stuff like this just pisses me off to no end.

Sorry for the rant. Damn!

Texas Employers for Immigration Reform, a pro-business and pro-immigrant group, a pro-criminal, anti-rule of law group.

There that corrected the statement.

“If the state gets involved you’re liable to have a patchwork of laws.”

I’m tired of this worn out excuse! (along with the one about hurting Texas businesses)

Fact of the matter, if the state does get involved, the Feds tend to address more of their duties. Seen it happen right here in the central Texas. Works with the Local authorities applying pressure as well.

The proposal never made it to the assembly for a vote, but the effort will be renewed when the Legislature convenes in January, said state Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler, who was at Friday's meeting.

It sounds like the Texas legislature is telling Cuellar to get lost.

Cuellar... it is always something isn't it?

Excuses, excuses.

When some city/county/state tries to actually do something... the ACLU, La Raza, etc. creep out from under some rock to throw a wrench in the works.

I cannot wait until the TX legislature convenes again... the R's will bring back up for debate the voter ID bill (to make sure one is a citizen of the Lone Star state/U.S.A. before they can vote). This will set the fireworks off in Austin... it'll pass... that is if the cry-baby democrats are prevented from fleeing north of the TX state line [AGAIN] preventing a legislative quorum.

"This is a federal matter," said Cuellar, D-Laredo.

And that's the way you'd prefer it to remain because you know as we do that the federal government has no intention of resolving the matter. Sorry Pedro, err Cuellar, no can do.

Meanwhile, YOU’RE liable. And sworn against that liability. You are no honorable American.
