As a Chef in Texas where most of the kitchen staff is hispanic, it has been my observation that this will be an uphill battle for the rats. The sticking point in most of my hispanic friends craw(about Republicans) is the perception that the G.O.P. is anti-hispanic. I disagree with that, but it needs to be addressed. I for one am not opposed to a guest worker program or allowing Mexicans to come here(Legally!) and provide a better life for themselves and their families. I would also support a grandfathered visa program to allow those who are here to stay and be documented. That's my two cents, Now flame Away!!LOL!

You make some valid points in your post. You'll get no guff from me. Keep cookin' great Texas food and we'll keep enjoying it :o)

Wouldn't it be better to pressure Mexico to "provide a better life for themselves and their families"?

Would you also support, via increased taxes, their abuelos y abuelas on Social Security, widowed-with-children tia Maria on SSI and crippled primo Jose on Medicaid - all courtesy of "Family Reunification"? Be careful what you ask for.

You've lit my Bic. ;-)
