BILL: Says all illegal immigrants should be taken to the office of a US Senator or Congressman and left there
A measure filed by State Rep. Lois Kolkhorst (R-Brenham) would allow any law enforcement agency that has custody of an illegal immigrant to take the illegal to 'the office of a U.S. Senator or Representative' and leave them there.
1200 WOAI news reports the measure also allows county sheriff's deputies or city police officers to 'request an agent or employee of the United States Senator or United States Representative to sign a document acknowledging the release or discharge of the illegal immigrant at the senator's or representative's office.
The measure covers individuals who are 'not a citizen or national of the United States' and who is 'unlawfully present in the United States.' Kolkhorst concedes the measure is a 'cry for help' to convince federal officials to secure the border, but she says she is serious about getting the measure approved by the Legislature.
The measure doesn't specify what the Senator or Congressman is supposed to do with the illegal immigrant, but calls on the law enforcement agency to 'maintain a record of each illegal immigrant released or discharged who is not transferred to the custody of the Untied States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.'
Illegal immigration has emerged as a top priority of the Republican super-majority in the Texas Legislature, and this is just one of several dozen bills introduced in Austin to deny jobs, housing, and government benefits to illegals.
Several thousand people are expected to descend on the state capitol today to denounce the measures, and to call on the federal government, not the states, to handle matters related to immigration.
nothing will come of this. the y will just release them yet again upon the whole population.
Can we also leave those curly mercury light bulbs that are always burning out?
Take them to Socialist-Marxist Congressman Lloyd Doggett’s-D office in Austin. I am sure he will encourage them to vote for him, legally or not.
They should be left at the Congressmen’s homes.
They would just get off at the next stop.
The next one way non-stop plane ticket to DC, now....
Don’t forget the mayors and city councils of all the sanctuary cities.
DC is run over with illegal empanada and other food stands with illegals and no business license selling things.
It's these yokel's fault that illegals are in this country. They should be sued for the damage these illegals cause.
they tried that in san fran and the 9th circuit ruled against the family that had their family killed by a twice deported illegal.
Haven't you heard? The Mexican govt's lawyers are cuing in illegals to sue for that (/snix).

It’s a great idea anyway.....
I lean more towards dumping them in the nearest “sanctuary city” at the home of the mayor or other top level politcians, especially if they are in a gated community.
You should buy bulbs at regular stores, not off the van at the corner.
OK by me.
Dump them at the Senators private residence, and give them a hammer and a flashlight.
