Border State Candidates Support Immigration Enforcement

Thursday, March 04, 2004
By Matt Hayes
This election year, the president will campaign on a promise to amnesty millions of illegal aliens and institute a guest worker program, while leading Democrats insist that our country should simply grant citizenship to every illegal alien here.

Voters who seek stronger enforcement of our immigration laws (some 85 percent of Americans, according to a recent poll) have nowhere to go.

Almost.

On the state level, there are individuals running for Congress who understand what voters want and have made better enforcement of our immigration laws the centerpiece of their campaigns.

Republicans must begin to develop leadership at the congressional level that cares more about protecting Americans than staying in office as long as it can,” said Nickell.

He's got that 100% correct and I hope he has success in pounding that into the heads of the Republicans running for office - it could make all the difference in their re-election campaigns. Getting and keeping illegals out of this country is not just a Texas issue. It's a national issue.
