I can only hope that governor Perry disagrees with her. With democRAT govs in Arizona and New Mexico coming out for increased border defense, this is all the Republicans need. Sheesh!

[BenLurkin]

"Texas has a responsibility to provide them education and health care once they are here,"

This is a Republican??????

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

[beandog]

I hope that's the end of her. There's got to be somebody better.

[sgtbono2002]

I dont think she really wants to be Governor and if she keeps talking this way she sure wont be.

[johnmecainrino]

The dem governor of arizona veteod prop 200 she is a first rate fraud

[Txsleuth]

My first thought when reading this was..."well she just lost the election"...

until I remembered that Texas is NOW over 50% minorities..

I don't know how other minorities feel about the "illegal" ones from Mexico and other places...but, if I were a minority from say, India, Vietnam, or elsewhere, and I did it the "correct" way, I wouldn't take to kindly to catering to illegals...

Also, if I were a black American...I wouldn't want, just like white Americans, to have MY TAXES go to funding social programs for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS...

[SwinneySwitch]

Paging Gov. Perry!

[trubluolyguy]

This was simply a case of a politician saying "I really don't want to be elected, don't vote for me as I am Illegal alien friendly.

[radar101]

another condescending elitist, irregardless of party affiliation.
TEXAS ---DUMP HER NOW!

[sweetliberty]

What about the state's responsibility to its CITIZENS?

[Dante3]

Absolute nonsense. None of the public agencies or taxpayers have a responsibility towards illegal aliens or towards immigrants. Sure we can turn them away from hospital doors. Many Americans are not getting all the medical care they need because they cannot afford it.

[kittymyrib]

I had no idea we voted to take the responsibility to provide illegals with health care. My son, a young independent businessman, doesn't have health insurance. Too bad he isn't an illegal alien instead of having to pay so much in taxes that he can't afford health insurance.

Carole Keeton Strayhorn... this is one fugly out of control woman. A nanny state type with an extreme lust for power. And she's a Republican!!

Beam me up Scotty!

[satchmodog9]

I thought Texas had cattle, not RINO'S.

[beandog]

Does this mean the next time somebody breaks into my house, it's my responsibility to feed, clothe and educate them?

[Iscool]

Strayhorn, in taking a welcoming tone to immigrants from Mexico, is trying to find voters outside the traditional Republican primary-voting base, which is made up of conservative voters,

At least I appreciate the honesty...She knows no sane conservative would vote for her...

[ncountylee]

Carole Keeton Strayhorn must be insane!

[Prime Choice]

Immigrants, legal or otherwise, come to Texas to "put a roof over their heads" and Texas has a responsibility to provide them education and health care once they are here, Republican gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn told a conservative GOP group today.

That's right, you heard it here first: we owe illegal aliens a living.

Welcome to Aztlan. Go back to Europe, gringo.

[airborne]

Treat them well on their way out of our country.

[Black Tooth]

Immigrants, legal or otherwise, come to Texas, Texas has a responsibility to provide them education and health care once they are here, Republican gubernatorial candidate Carole Keeton Strayhorn told a conservative GOP group today.

How depressing this is.
