As government officials have begun contacting land owners about possible use of their land for the fence, those land owners, local officials and business leaders have protested, questioning its effect on their economy and binational way of life.I've got news for these protestors. We don't want a binational way of life! One nation under God, remember?

I am a Texas resident too. I was interested in this list. If the one posted before your post is accurate, is is a bunch of “eye wash”. Take out all the Associations, Chambers of Commerce, Institutes, etc and you cut it down to half size. I recognize several “liberal” names on the rest.
The best some of these can promise (threaten??) is to try to INFLUENCE voters. Most on the list would vote Democrat anyway.
I think posting a list of about 80 REAL VOTERS saying the opposite would counter it quite nicely! This is being done in calls, emails, and faxes to the good Senators right now. I think this is a propaganda piece or a smokescreen.

The Texas Association of Business, mentioned in the above article, is one of groups that was providing the money for Tom DeLay's efforts in Texas re-districting.
Recall the fallout over that and Ronnie Earle, the Travis County DA?
Its a small world. Those evil Texas Businessmen who put the GOP in control of the Texas Legislature are now those evil Texas Businessmen supporting immigration reform.

They get rich off their cheap labor while the taxpayer gets screwed.

I know we’ve been doing alot of emailing and calling lately........We also need to write the ‘Fox News Channel’ this weekend and fill up their boxes explaining we need coverage on the Senate Amnesty Bill...This week was pathetic...
Fox needs to do this in two ways.
1. Interview ppl that are part of the sessions.
2. And give explanations of what the current bill does in an honest way............

Here's the list of Texas cheap labor carpetbaggers:
I wonder how many votes that translates into.
To: Baladas
We hope both Republican senators from Texas would get behind this bill. We think it's a unique opportunity and we need to finish the job," said Bill Hammond, president of the Texas Association of Business and a board member of Texas Employers for Immigration Reform. In his prior life, Mr. Bill Hammond would have made a great southern cotton grower. King cotton and slavecheap labor, yes sir, a real fine man Mr. Hammond. SAC off

I think our govt owes us some serious explanations. I suspect that deals have been made between govt, business interests and worst of all foreign govts. The bills are finally coming due but the deals were never valid because they were done without the consent of we the people. Some honesty could go a long way toward redeeming themselves but they should forget about any promises they made because that American people shouldn't pay for promises we didn't make.

(Greed is NOT a conservative ideal.)
To: Shermy
When there is a shortage of product produced by farmers, oil companies, or any other business, their first move is to raise prices. However, when there is a shortage of labor, they seldom consider solving the problem by raising the price paid for that commodity. I fail to see how any business should be guaranteed an unlimited supply of cheap labor.

Well, we can boyott every business that hires illegals. I’m not above going into a restaurant or hotel, etc. and asking if all of their workers are documented.

I'd like to see a list of the coalition members.
You and me both. Surely it's public record. Did the Dallas Morning News print the names of the businesses?

Sanderson Farms is a chicken company too, just not as big as Tyson or Pilgrim’s Pride. Guess chicken is off my list too. Good thing I like veggies.

It looks like their server melted down due to a whole lot of Texans checking out who is selling us down the river on amnesty. Keep the pressure on.

I’m wondering if the hired help at Crawford Ranch is legal. Any McLennan County Texans on the ping list?

I got an e-mail from Cornyn, asking for support for his re-election. I told him, and the RNC - no money until amnesty is defeated.

I don’t care much for chicken. I don’t buy anything from Tyson because of ties to the toons. Bo Pilgrim and his huge mansion in Pittsburg has been known for years as having LOTS of illegals working in his plants.

I won’t buy Tyson either for the very same reason!
