Securing Our US Border Is About Security, Not Racism

I am getting a little sick hearing the flat out lies we are told about Republicans and protecting our US borders. Every nation has the right, and the obligation, to protect its borders. One argument we hear often is that we need the workers.

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics this month says that we have 8.9% unemployment. “The number of unemployed persons (13.7 million) and the unemployment rate (8.9 percent) changed little in February. “ 8.9% is only the number of those who the tax payers are supporting through unemployment benefits. It does not count those who are not getting anything at all. So ask yourself do we really need the workers?

I wonder if our elected officials get this or if they have the courage to do the right thing? I worry that our Republican Elected Officials in the Texas House will cave out of fear of the open borders crowd and not even let Debbie Riddles bill out of the Calenders committee. The best way back the minority party is to kill our good conservative legislation.
