It’s the comprehensive Destroy-the-Republican-party bill.
Texas’ Republican majority, a fairly new majority btw, is rotting from the inside. A fellow Texas freeper and I agreed that sham-nesty will make Texas a liberal Democrat majority state within a decade ... or maybe immediately given how angry so many people are about our own party over this. In Bexar county they found illegal aliens registered to vote, and some of them voted:

As you mention, the census reaportionment *alone* GIVES ILLEGAL ALIENS AN INDIRECT SAY IN OUR GOVERNMENT, by creatin g ‘rotten boroughs’ with many ilegals, few citizens and fewer voters, but consistent liberal Democrats.
Taxpaying citizens get their representation diluted by this action.
You and I see it — why can’t this friggin White House? The only comfort I have is the bill will have AZ so blue no way Kyl will be able to win in six years. Kyl will be hoisted on his own petard — cold comfort but I’ll take it. I do feel sorry for your Senator Cornyn, he’s been so heroic on this. Both my Senators are complete weasels, who knows what they’ll end up doing.
