"He was preppy. He looked the part. No indication. He fit in extremely well, he had family members here," the Democrat from Palmview said.

What's that, Representative Flores?

Illegal immigrants never wear trim clothes? Citizens "look the part" of what? Illegal immigrants can't fit in, and can't have family members around?

A lot of profiling here.

"He was preppy. He looked the part. No indication. He fit in extremely well, he had family members here," the Democrat from Palmview said. "It just looks bad in general ... of course it's going to grab more traction. I certainly don't want to go around challeng-ing people's status."

Oh yeah, that's gonna look good on your next campaign flyer.

“He didn’t appear to be an illegal imigrant”.

Get real.

[kallisti]

“...he hired the man without checking his background because he didn’t appear to be an illegal immigrant.”

HR departments everywhere wonder WTF? “Whether he broke the law?”

[varon]

said he hired the man without checking his background because he didn't appear to be an illegal immigrant.

What does "didn't appear to be an illegal immigrant" mean? He didn't have sign hanging from around his neck saying "I an an illegal immigrant"?

[doodad]

And what is the punishment for employers who hire illegals in TX?

[Texan]

Eleven acres do NOT a “ranch” make.

In addition, Rep. Flores received the TAMACC (Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce) Leadership Award in 1997 and 1999, for his contributions to the Hispanic community,

Funny that he does not list his party affiliation anywhere on his websites. I guess the pictures with Edwards, Obama and Hillary might give someone an indication of his political leanings.

And people are still support John McCain...who would have given this murdering illegal alien amnesty...

11 acres is not a ranch!
susie

[brytlea]

LOL GMTA!

[highnoon]

Rep. Flores doesn’t appear to be intelligent.

I certainly don't want to go around challeng-ing people's status."

Heavens no! We can't have that! Better to have somebody killed by an illegal than challenging their status.

What I want to know is how come this idiot Democrat can "profile" the guy by saying he looked "preppy" but can't profile the guy on whether he may be an illegal?

Here's to hoping the family of the dead guy sues this idiot Democrat to oblivion.

“He was preppy. He looked the part. No indication. He fit in extremely well, he had family members here,” the Democrat from Palmview said.

He looked above his paygrade, but I paid him the standard wage for illegals-$2.00 an hour.

[freekitty]

Obviously not.

[wac3rd]

He is an elected official. How much more do you need to see the problem with illegal immigration that a public official whom taxpayers for, uses illegal alien labor.

This politician should be deported back to the Paradise of Mexico.

Oh, no, wouldn’t want to do that!!! Might keep someone from getting killed! Can’t have that.

Idiot.
