Uh...Slick Rick, you phony...talking all around the immigration issue. We don't need a fence, we don't need more Federal employee "boots on the ground" as you asserted before. The answer is to end all the policies which make it attractive for illegals to come here. You think native Texans should be taxed to provide subsidized college education for anchor babies of illegal immigrants. You also oppose eVerify, which would prevent employers from claiming they "didn't know" an applicant was illegal.

The "boots" ought to be kicking down the doors of your crony capitalists who hire illegals. But they're the ones financing your campaign, aren't they, Slick Rick? That's the real reason you oppose eVerify, you con artist.

......The answer is to end all the policies which make it attractive for illegals to come here.....

And that is EXACTLY what he has said: That a wall is not going to keep them out, that conservative ascendancy will -- that all the liberal social engineer programs that support them here (and allows them to send money back in many cases) will keep bringing people here.

And I will point out to you that since the states cannot ask if a student is in the country legally by the time they've graduated from high school (min 3 years in Texas public school and graduated to be considered) it is prudent to allow THEM to PAY instate tuition to attend college if they can and have a better educated Texan (as they do apply for citizenship). Many of these children that are brought by their families are basically without a country.

There is no way around this until the border is sealed. This is a matter of geography that most other states DO NOT have to deal with (I am speaking about the 1250 mile border -- where there is crime and that Texans are spending about $100 Million a year from our state budget to patrol as much as we can).
