Individuals must be held accountable for their actions, and those who break our laws and violate our sovereignty cannot get a free pass, regardless of Our nation has a right to set limits and enforce our laws, but so does our state.

Cultures need time to assimilate, and no nation or state -- not even a state with the resources of Texas -- can bear the cost of free mass medical services for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants from another nation or free education for thousands of their youth.their circumstances.

Sounds to me like those claiming she's for open borders are playing Obama with the truth.

We’ve lost sight of that here in Texas. We’ve surrendered private property ownership to the ever-growing state – we lease our property in the form of ever increasing rents known as property taxes. We’ve forgotten that ownership is an essential element of freedom; that property taxed is not owned at all. We must cherish and protect all property ownership. Jefferson was correct in his writing to James Madison “small landholders are the most precious part of a state.”

Good triangulated statement for an political website, just like McDonalds’ claiming that they have healthy meal options. When it comes to the details of many of the “how’s” in regard to border security, she falls short.

For example, she opposes Voter photo ID laws which would curtail illegals voting. In an interview with Peter Morrison back in December she also said she only supported a border fence in ‘densely populated urban areas’ but didn’t want us to ‘look like East Germany, surrounded by walls’. In the same interview she also stated she opposed local law enforcement from having authority to enforce immigration laws- the same stance that libs going after Sheriff Joe have.

In her article “Latinos and the GOP” she actually criticized KBH (who I don’t like) for voting against Sonia Sotomayor because she was concerned more about winning the hispanic vote than Sotomayor’s positions. In the same article (Latinos and the GOP), Medina said we need to think about the ‘Latino’ interest in shaping immigration policy.

If anything, she is good at saying all things to all people, so there may be a place for politics for her.

I’m glad you brought up Obama. He’s really good at making grand statements he doesn’t believe in. She may just be another one like him - says one thing to get elected but believes something altogether different.

A few on this thread so far claim to have heard her waffle on the issure of enforcing immigration laws before Hispanic crowds.

Having a political record is important. It isn’t just what someone says - it is what they DO while in office. Actions supporting the talk.

How many times have Republicans been burned by someone talking straight-line conservatism who once they got to Washington, D.C., morphed into a liberal?

Just crafty weasel words -

Ask Medina straight out -—

As Governor of Texas - would you support a U.S. Law granting Amnesty to the estimated 20 million illegal aliens or would you work against amnesty...

As Governor of Texas ... would you sign Texas Legislation denying state benefits to illegal aliens in Texas...

As Governor of Texas ... would you sign Texas Legislation denying - absolutely - giving drivers licenses to those who could not produce evidence of U.S. Citizenship...

As Governor of Texas ... would you sign Texas Legislation making it mandatory that voters produce evidence of U.S. Citizenship before being registered to vote and/or allowed to vote in an election...

As Governor of Texas would you sign Texas Legislation reducing the number of entry points from Mexico into Texas...

I challenge you and anyone else to push Medina into a corner on these subject and ASK REAL QUESTIONS - demanding real answers ...

If you do -— you will still get WEASEL WORDS... a la George W. Bush ... my nanny was an illegal alien and I know they are good people... sob sob sob...

NO - NO to ILLEGAL ALIENS - Say it or STFU.
