Harris County officials have been told unaccompanied immigrant children caught in south Texas are being flown into George Bush Intercontinental Airport because of protests in California, a spokesman for Harris County Judge Ed Emmett said Thursday.

Joe Stinebaker said the judge's office has been notified by federal officials of the children's arrival at Houston airport, but he was not able to provide other details and referred all questions to federal authorities.

That makes sense. Califiornia already has more than enough Democrat voters, but Texas is still a red state. This is all part of the plan.

Texans are too busy making money. They’re selling the rope the left will hang them with.

Katrina refugees from N.O. Now illegals. My condolences Houston.

Exactly. I applaud the California patriots who turned them back, but I don’t want any Americans to be saddled with the diseases, crimes, etc. of having illegals forced on them.

The (republican) Governors of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas are the commanders of the National Guard in their states. The Sheriffs of the counties on the border are the final authority in protecting the people and the economy.

Watching none of these people stand up to obey their oaths of office seems to clearly indicate that there is more going on here than we are being told.

My guess is that Obama's agenda of breaking the system to transform the nation is A-OK with all of them.

No doubt our lesbian activist mayor rolled out the red carpet for them, with Wendy Davis cheering her on.

your turn, Houston... turn them back. These planes need to be flying south not north or west or east.

Send them to Hurricane Sheila Jackson Lee’s district. They love diversity.

I imagine the plane will be met by buses and no one will be able to get near them to protest. Bush Intercontinental isn’t exactly protest friendly. How convenient.

It’s the old family murderer demanding mercy because he’s an orphan routine. The guy who caused the problem is dumping it on Houston and trying to blame it on the people who complained about it. Standard Lib judo reasoning, combined with “never let a crisis go to waste”.

You are so clueless!

And coming from one of the most liberal states of the 50!

Get your facts straight, Bubba!

I'd love to think I'm wrong on this and hear how you have determined that I am clueless. Please share.

I'm hoping you can help me understand how it is that a US Congressman on the Armed Services Committee was not allowed inside a military facility in his own district and no one is upset about it in our congressional leadership.
