MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) Alabama's governor on Thursday signed a tough new illegal immigration crackdown that contains provisions requiring public schools to determine students' immigration status and making it a crime to knowingly give an illegal immigrant a ride.

- Create federal law making it a falony to employ an illegal with a one-year mandatory federal prison sentence for offenders
- Create federal law making it a felony to provide taxpayer funded services to an illegal, and provide for a one-year mandatory federal prison sentence for offenders
- Amendment #28: No person born in the US to parents who entered the country illegally shall be afforded US citizenship or the rights/privileges of a US citizen.
That's my observation of the man. In my opinion, the Texas economy has prospered in spite of him, not because of any real leadership on his part.
He's also done nothing to stem the flow of illegals invading our state. He steadfastly refuses to use the constitutional powers of his office to stop it, and in TEN YEARS, he's failed to get our legislature to produce any effective legislation to address it.
In fact, he's on record as saying that an Arizona-style anti-illegal immigration bill "is wrong for Texas."
Some conservative...
