Texans have a long memory.
I thought we were all alone.
06 elections are going to be super fun...
"It is offensive and outrageous for people who have broken the law to demand to be treated equally,"
They are not demanding to be treated equally, they want to be treated with special rights above which no other person on the planet enjoys. Special rights including working without visas while abroad, immigrating to a foreign county without applying for citizenship , visiting a foreign country without a passport , driving in a foreign county without an international drivers license, trying to vote as a non resident, delinquent on income taxes, receiving free health care without paying state disability insurance, and in-state tuitions for college.
However, if this were Mexico, then all these rights might be a reasonable request to demand, just as any citizen of any county has the right to petition its government.
Therefore it is either they are demanding special rights which no other person on the planet enjoys , or it is that they are demanding that this territory be considered as Mexican territory, which is really laughable, due to the extreme lack of these rights even Mexican citizens do not have within their own county.
Maybe they should take these protest to Mexico City where they might actually have an impact and mean something.
Texans have a long memory.
That's good to hear, now please pass strict legislation on a State level.
