I’ll be danged if it doesn’t look like the Stupid Party isn’t trying to lose the Senate. They know Conservatives don’t want this, and the illegals will vote for Dems...

Hey, how about we enforce the immigration laws we have on the books first while we are sitting around waiting for the economy to improve.

We could even repeal Obamacare, reduce taxes, and the national debt while we wait too.

Blah blah blah. The first bill must be specifically and solely to close the border. Nothing else. No “reform”, nothing “comprehensive”. Talk about that after the border is closed. Otherwise it’s just business as usual for their cheap-labor pimps and they’re just screwing with us again.

LOL! Yeah. They are REALLY Conservative.

And you REALLY Conservative GOP. I wouldn’t get too sure about taking back the Senate. That’s moved to a 50/50 proposition.

I am totally in favor of immigration reform:

1) Secure the border.
2) Enforce the current laws.

That’s reform that I can live with.

Immigration reform should consist of nothing but enforcement of current law. Period.

I don't agree.

Federal agencies have proven inadequate for the task of border enforcement. It does not appear that the current politicized, bloated Federal agencies can close the border, regardless of the budget assigned to them.

So the law needs to be changed to allow local authorities more autonomy in immigration enforcement. And I would allow private citizens a role as well, by assigning a 'bounty' of $1000 per criminal brought to justice.

The current Federal agencies can be reduced in size and scope to perform the record keeping associated with loading the deportee's onto train's back to Mexico. They seem to be capable of paperwork.

That way, they won't impede their betters, the private citizens, from enforcing the law.

What makes you think that we Texans will allow that to happen? We still remember the Alamo.

So here's the dilemma:

Vote Republican, and have Immigration Reform shoved down America's throat, legalizing 12,000,000+ Criminal Illegal Aliens who'll drive down the working wage of Americans.

Vote Democrat, and get the same thing.

Eff'ed if we vote Republican, Eff'ed if we don't.

Don't like those options. I vote full-on revolution instead!!

I see it every time the managers at a local store crowd to assist the non English speaker, every time my kids have to fill out a form stating they are non Hispanic and ineligible for the perks, scholarship funds, and breaks. Every time I go to apply for a job and find I’m ineligible as I don’t speak Spanish. Every time I’m at Mass and the priest refers to the future of the church as Hispanic. Every time I find out theres a Spanish speaking mass, a Spanish speaking youth group. Every time my kids get shut out of socializing as they don’t speak Spanish.

Every time I say ‘hey, speak English’ and get shouted down by Texans, and every one else around my, reminding me that the Texans really are ushering this in.

Every time I hear from some Texan who remembers the Alamo but denies what is going on around him

I agree. I hate the idea of amnesty but could accept some path to citizenship for children brought here, educated here, and with no criminal history. Like you say, a secure border would have to come first, e-verify, work visas, etc. All criminals would have to go back.

Immigration reform is coming. We might as well accept it and have a strong hand in writing it.

That isn’t going on in my neighborhood. Go to mass where they speak English.

WEll, it sure is here.

THe church we attend is 25000 families. It was built in the 1850s It’s Texan.
You haven’t heard the archbishop. Nor the one before him, I guess. THey are all working very hard in the US government to allow illegals favor. The video yearly that the archbishop gives, and the USCCB condones, and favors, is all Hispanic, asking for money for the Hispanics, while, at the same time, praising the Hispanics as beign the future of the church.

Ive been called, we have, en Masse, 2000 people English speaking, ‘gringos’, to which the Texans laugh.

I am disgusted.

The Alamo. pssht

Why vote GOP in the Senate races when this will be the outcome?
