Why crack down on immigration?

In Texas, we shouldn't need a Hispanic boycott to demonstrate the significance of immigrants.

The very first line of this tripe is premised on the favorite lie of the OBL; lumping illegal aliens together with legal immigrants.

Some more socialist fertilizer logic!!

Texas Taxpayers Illegal Aliens Cost Texas Taxpayers $4.7 Billion a Year!!!

As long as they are shutting down our economy and marching on Monday, let the National Guard march them right into boxcars for a quick ride back to the border. Then give them each an M16 and a case of ammo and tell them to go south and solve the "Mexico problem."

[stopem]

The more than $4.7 billion in costs incurred by Texas taxpayers annually result from outlays in the following areas:
Education. Based on estimates of the illegal immigrant population in Texas and documented costs of K-12 schooling, Texans spend more than $4 billion annually on education for illegal immigrant children and for their U.S.-born siblings. About 11.9 percent of the K-12 public school students in Texas are children of illegal aliens.

Works for me!!

Why crack down on immigration?

No one wants to crack down on immigration. We need to crack down on Illegal immigration. Big difference.

Dishonesty right from the start. We are not talking about IMMIGRANTS, we are talking about ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

Liberals use a truth or a lie as just another tool to pick up, one is no better or worse than the other. Whatever works for them.

[ecomcon]

It's the same rationalizations the europeans made. The results are national suicide.

[ecomcon]

"Imagine what that money could do on a local level.."

Then give them each an M16 and a case of ammo and tell them to go south and solve the "Mexico problem."


They can't even clean up the trash in the street. Why would they clean up their own government?

[sinkspur]

There's not going to be any deportation. And, children of illegals born here are US citizens, according to a ruling of the Supreme Court.

Given that, is providing education not better than NOT providing it?

[meyer]

That some brain-dead leftist illegal-invasion apologist would have to title their screed with such a stupid question is indicative of the depth to which the MSM & spineless senators have collaborated on this huge betrayal of the American people.

Get the illegal invaders out of MY country NOW!

[stopem]

NO!

[cripplecreek]

Dishonesty right from the start.

The hallmark of the OBL.

[yobid]

I emigrated to Texas once. But I was born in New Jersey.

[sinkspur]

Well, the education is court-mandated. So, Texas school districts have little choice.

[Jazzman1]

hmmm, I wonder why this LIB didnt take these costs into account? hmmm...

[stopem]

And that needs to be changed as well, time to lobby.

Forget the glories of globalization. It's Mexico's oil. With the world situation and despite terrorists crossing the border, this is why Bush kowtows to Fox. If the Middle East blows sky high with Iran and with Chavez making threats in Venezuela, plus Russia's stranglehold on oil/gas...we need a reliable source. (Thank you, dems, for lack of oil from Anwar. It will take ten years to get it flowing.) We fix Mexico and pay for the privilege of doing it. That's what Fox and his pals want.They've also decriminalized possession of small amounts of cocaine and marijuana. Why? $$$$$ Fox is playing hardball and looking to the future. Mexicans in the US will have dual citizenship, so if arrested, they're automatically innocent. The last thing Mexico wants is the stoppage of drug trade.
