If using the term wetback is as normal as breathing air in south Texas, the knot-head...Another Tea Party wanna-be who isn't smart enough to keep his trap shut and play in the big leagues....

Surely there must be at least one other Texan like Cruz or Lee. They don't insult their constituents.

I'm sorry, you seem to be mistaking feelings for logic - Illegal immigrants are no one's constituency. What part of illegal can't you understand? Legal aliens can't vote, legal immigrants can't vote, they be definition cannot be a constituency. You actually believe Senator Cruz claims illegal immigrants as his constituency?

“From what a friend tells me that lives in Texas you can shoot people to defend property, not just your life or life of someone else...”

There is some truth to this, with the Castle doctrine. However, it doesn’t apply to someone simply trespassing on your property. They have to actually have broken into your domicile (or business, or vehicle) with FORCE, before you can claim that justification. For someone jumping your fence or cutting through your gangway, the Castle doctrine would not be applicable, and you would be left at the mercy of the grand jury.

Thank you for the explanation. I sort of figured there was no where you could shoot people for just trespassing- as it should be as far as I am concerned.
