I love it. The guy starts to answer the Senator in English, but then the illegal-ette sitting next to him whispers something to him and then he starts speaking Spanish again.

Classic.

[imfleck]

Easily solved by passing a law that all committee meetings, work, etc., be done in English.

[bgill]

Aguirre needs his illegal status investigated and shipped back where he can speak Spanish 24/7.

I think we have a new hero here in Texas. Sen. Harris, my hats off to you for forcing this sancturary city thing to a head.

Now if we had a governeor with same balls, maybe something would get something done about it.

On another thread, there are some speaking of Perry running for POTUS. Well, I can for a fact state that the illegal issue is maybe twice as bad as it was 10 years ago when he took office. These illegals are getting brazen, and have lost fear of authority and "legal" citizentry

Thanks for the link. I just sent appreciate email, though I am not in his district. Every Texas Freeper should take a few minutes to show their appreciation to this patriot.

[Liz]

Let’s hope his words will put some starch in the spine of others.

[Allegra]

GO Senator Harris. Don't back down now...you're absolutely in the right and there are a few million of us who will back you up on that.

Stand firm.

[Liz]

Their signs are declaring war on America....stating their goals (eradication of American sovereignty, and destruction of capitalism)......

And they're doing it with our tax dollars. Read on.

NCLR Funding Skyrockets After Obama Hires Its VP (La Raza)
Judicial Watch ^ | June 17, 2011

A Judicial Watch investigation reveals that federal funding for a Mexican La Raza group that for years has raked in millions of taxpayer dollars has skyrocketed since one of its top officials got a job in the Obama White House. The influential and politically-connected National Council of La Raza (NCLR) has long benefitted from Uncle Sam’s largess but the group has made a killing since Obama hired its senior vice president (Cecilia Muñoz) in 2009 to be his director of intergovernmental affairs.

Ignored by the mainstream media, Judicial Watch covered the appointment because the president issued a special “ethics waiver” to bring Muñoz aboard since it violated his own lobbyist ban. At the pro illegal immigration NCLR, Muñoz supervised all legislative and advocacy activities on the state and local levels and she was heavily involved in the congressional immigration battles that took place in the George W. Bush Administration.

She also brought in a steady flow of government cash that’s allowed the Washington D.C.-based group to expand nationwide and promote its leftist, open-borders agenda via a network of community organizations dedicated to serving Latinos.Among them are a variety of local groups that provide social services, housing counseling and farm worker assistance as well as publicly-funded charter schools that promote radical Chicano curriculums. Judicial Watch published a special report on this a few years ago.

This week a JW probe has uncovered details of the alarming increase in federal funding that these NCLR groups have received since Muñoz joined the Obama Administration.

In fact, the government cash more than doubled the year Muñoz joined the White House, from $4.1 million to $11 million. Not surprisingly, a big chunk of the money (60%) came from the Department of Labor, which is headed by a former California congresswoman (Hilda Solis) with close ties to the La Raza movement. Since Obama named her Labor Secretary, Solis has launched a nationwide campaign to protect illegal immigrant workers in the U.S.

Just this week Solis penned declarations with Guatemala and Nicaragua to preserve the rights of their migrants. The NCLR also received additional taxpayer dollars from other federal agencies in 2010, the JW probe found. The Department of Housing and Urban Development doled out $2.5 million for housing counseling, the Department of Education contributed nearly $800,000 and the Centers for Disease Control a quarter of a million. Additionally, NCLR affiliates nationwide raked in tens of millions of government grant and recovery dollars last year thanks to the Muñoz factor. An offshoot called Chicanos Por La Causa (CPLC) saw its federal funding nearly double to $18.3 million following Muñoz’ appointment.

A social service and legal assistance organization (Ayuda Inc.) that didn’t receive any federal funding between 2005 and 2008 got $600,000 in 2009 and $548,000 in 2010 from the Department of Justice. The group provides immigration law services and guarantees confidentiality to assure illegal aliens that they won’t be reported to authorities.

I heard this on Mark Levin last night. Good for you, Senator! When I was teaching ESL in Brooklyn, NY, I had asked the students about their motivations for learning English. One woman told me that she had been here for 18 years and figured it was time she learned English! Back then, throughout her 18 years of not speaking English, there was a much greater emphasis on learning English. This situation is far, far worse today with immigrants being encouraged with help from the state to avoid the necessity of learning English.

Wasn’t there a rock band called SEOD - Speak English Or Die - back in the ‘80s?

[Dudoight]

But this guy was just being a defiant jackass. He is totally fluent in English. Lets send his spanish arse home.

Wow! Thanks!

[tet68]

I kind of like the lyrics to #16 F*** the Mid-East.
I would have printed them but it would take too much
editing.

[BenKenobi]

I don’t get this or understand this.

You come to Texas because it is a land of opportunity. You’ve stayed that long.

Why do you not take pride in being a Texan?

“Thanks, I didn’t know that. But they don’t call Austin “Moscow on the Trinity” for no reason at all.”

A-men.
