Over 30% of the inmates in Federal penitentiaries are illegal invaders.
Kinky Friedman, running for governor of texas, has vowed 10,000 texas national Gaurd troops on the border, require new workers picture ID cards and fine businesses $25K for the first illegal working and then $50k for each illegal after that.
This is why his poll numbers, as an independent, are showing he could win (over 23% and rising).
He also vowed to fund $100M for new cops for Houston.
The $100million in police to tackle violent crime in Houston would be good.
Too much local money has been diverted to help MayorBob's real estate buddies. He did it in the past too (remember when Tom DeLay got on MayorBob for using rail money to pay for Metro cops?).
And I'd be very interested in seeing the number of traffic tickets written in the past few years. Seems to be quite an uptick on revenue tickets.
Hundreds of people are dying in the streets of Houston every year and NONE of them signed up for a job to put their lives on the line for others.
Every death is a tragedy.
You mean the Kinkster dropped his plan to have an escrow fund to pay Mexican Generals.?
KF can not, as gov., unilaterally do this (except MAYBE the guard). If he doesn't know that, there's no way in hell he deserves to be in any elected office.
I'm a little troubled that you would buy into this.
The Texas governor race should be one of the most interesting. And Kinky has the politicos worried, so they're trying a smear campaign on him. Show's he is a threat.
