We take law enforcement very seriously in Texas. One law we particularly enforce is the one against felons carrying guns. Nethercott shouldn't have been packing in Texas. That's why he lost his ranch.

This should be a lesson to any Minutemen who plan on bringing firearms into Texas. Learn our laws and obey them.

"We" do, huh?

As far as distinguishing between legal and illegal immigrants, I don't. I have no need to. As far as I'm concerned there is no difference.

I had acquaintances who flew drugs in from Cancun by private jet. They'd stop in Cuba for refueling and bring back cigars. I ran into the DA one night when we were both smoking the same type.

Doesn't sound that "seriously" to me.

Whoops - sorry, rod, didn't mean to "stalk" you again.

We sure do. Look at this.

Beyond its strategic location, smugglers use Houston as a stopping point because it is safe for them. The federal government concentrates almost all of its anti-smuggling operations on the border, leaving cities such as Houston with little funding for enforcement, according to Cravener.

So immigration laws in a city such as Houston are essentially unenforced. Nearly 90 percent of the illegal immigrants apprehended by the government last year were picked up by the Border Patrol. Houston officials captured less than 5,500 illegal immigrants in 2002, the lowest number in seven years, according to statistics from the Department of Homeland Security.

Nethercott may have lost his ranch (His mother had power of attorney, which was ignored; she's still fighting); but evidently, you lost your soul if you think this is just.
