So what's a compromise to Cornyn, a massive amnesty/guest worker program with no fence? That's not compromise it's surrender and those in the House who actually care about this issue should tell the good Senators no deal.
How do you spell R.I.N.O?
Texas is one of those places where Big Business likes illegals . Low labor prices and stick the citizens with the bill.
Why do we have idiots for politicians?

They are about to back door this amnesty program on their base. When they do, it will be ugly for 2006.
Texas, you're startin' to p*ss me off.....
Aren't there some here who would swear on the Bible that Cornyn is a conservative? He is nothing short of a bought-and-paid for RINO. I imagine that PR firm and Mexico's known attempt to strongarm senators has gotten to him.
Him saying a fence sets us back a hundred years is straight out of Mexico and the democrat's playbook.
Disgusting.
A wall/fence might work great for Arizona, New Mexico, and California, but it does not seem viable for Texas.
I want to see illegals caught and deported. I live in NE TX - long way from the border - and see more and more spanish speaking businesses and signs. Why are our ballots in English and in Spanish? Why do the automatic checkout lanes in grocery stores and WalMart ask you to choose a language?
Of course he does. The filthy rich don't care about the difficulties of the average man.
He's right
I'd rather see a Texmex Canal stretching from San Diego to the Gulf of Mexico. 3 miles wide, cable of hauling ships in both directions and then charge shipping companies a toll fee to use it.
If Ancient Egyptions can build pyramids, we can build this canal. It just takes will power.
"He said he would not support a bill calling for a security fence"
What if that bill contains your amnesty plan, hispanderer?
A fence, unless electrified, will not deter the coyotes bringing illegals in.
Enforce the laws on the books and clarify the law (Constitutions Citizenship Clause) re illegals' children born in this country.
21st century ping!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off this South Texas/Mexico ping list.
I am ashamed to have this idiot as my senator.
Ping.
"Hidalgo Mayor John David Franz said he would oppose any wall cutting through his border city.
"I think we need to be looking at amicable solutions," he said. "(A wall) would put us back 100 years..."
1. Who cares what a MAYOR says?
2. Who is he to determine what sets anything back 100 years?
ping
Cornyn will here from me for the last time today.
Send him the message. Most people don't bother so these guys think they can just blabber their way through their term. The border is the biggest problem facing us. Parts of Texas are already Mexico!!
