Now I see that this is a list of TEIR supporters via their website.

TEIR looks like the kind of list of high-dollar supporters of any Republican in Texas. Bob Perry for example underwrote the ‘Swift Vet’ group, and Lieninger is famous for supporting vouchers.

Give ‘em a freep, guys!

Here is what I said:

Enacting a full-scale legalization for 12 million illegal immigrants is not the path to ‘reform’, it is the path to more breakdown in the system. It is worse when it is done without first making sure the border is secure and immigration law is properly enforced. we invite further systematic failure with the current Senate bill that does just that, by having a massive legalization/amnesty with fake triggers that do not really guarantee anything. It failed in 1986 and it will fail now, only more massively.

You should know by now also that the Democrats are going to twist the immigration law to undermine the idea of guest workers and undermine shifting from chain migration to employment-based immigration. They have an agenda to import welfare-state voters, not workers.

The end result? You will NOT get what you want (a sane immigration law) , but the liberal Democrats will get what they want (a permanent voting majority), and it will include a voting majority for liberal high-tax socialist legislation in Texas. In 15 years, Texas will become what California already is - an anti-business ‘blue state’. The demographic shift in Cali (from 57% white voters to 43%) will be replicated in Texas.

As someone who works and lives with *legal* immigrants, I can tell you right now the ‘comprehensive’ Senate bill is a slap in the face to them. So who have you helped? Lawbreaking illegal immigrants and Democrats only, and certainly not yourself, not the citizens, not American workers.

You are selling your future and my kids future short. I urge you to reconsider your support for amnesty/legalization.
A push for more employment-oriented immigration including guest workers would be supported by many of us opposed strongly to amnesty.
