Thank you for putting your thoughts down.

A question -- Where can I find this information?:

You stated: Armey is........a well-known open borders advocate.

I'd like to find where he's called for an open border. Is that just with Mexico or has he called for an open border with Canada? All LINKS to that will be appreciated -- Canada and Mexico both.

The reason I ask, is that you're in Colorado and us taxpayers here in Texas are paying to protect the U.S. INTERNATIONAL border Texas shares with Mexico (1300+miles borders Texas -- lines up beside us -- all 1300= miles of it) and we're paying about $160Million/2 years out of OUR state tax money to protect your butt sitting up there in Colorado.

So if you have a few extra pennies left up there in Colorado, please send them to Texas so we can help our Texas Rangers fight back the immigrant tide so you can not feel guilty about us down here in Texas fighting this by ourselves, with our blood and treasure.

Thank you.

I get very, very tired of FReepers who expect me to do their homework for them. Deflection, denial, and obfuscation are the fallbacks of leftism.

Armey is a free-trade absolutist and vocal advocate of open borders. Has been for several decades. A simple google search of "Dick Armey open borders" will net you, at minimum, several thousand results.

I'd be glad to send you some spare dough from Colorado, but we haven't got any. After all, we have a state balanced-budget-amendment (TABOR), and a huge illegal immigrant problem of our own. Turns out they like Colorado better than Texas. Pretty close to a half million living here now.

I might be a bit more sympathetic if that pathetic RiNO congress-critter of yours, Kay Barely Republican, had not (during the middle of the night, when she figured no one was paying attention) single-handedly axed funding for the federal Secure Fence Act of 2006 that we conservatives worked so hard to get passed. It would have gone a long way towards fixing the exact problem about which you are currently whining.

I believe I'll save my money, and donate to a Conservative presidential candidate (i.e. - somebody other than Rick "Stalking Horse" Perry). Note to Texas Republicans - please kindly quit electing RiNOs to national office. When push-comes-to-shove, they're even quicker to stab us in the back than dems.

Signed,

One of those pesky conservatives who personally made over 100 phone calls in support of the Secure Fence Act.
