And they are still illegal. Rewarding criminal activity gets more of it.
Just how primitive is Texas that you can believe we can't construct things on, above, under, or in a river?
You've seen those big things in the sky flying around ~ glinting in the Sun? We call them airplanes. They carry people.
Not sure, but that's a joke even if it is true. Who and their hermano couldn't produce "application papers" ? Similar to the rest of the (assistance) scams taking place across the country.
They didn’t think of that, did they?
Why the hell do we need a SEX question.
Here comes the don’t ask don’t tell gay question... *barf*
thank you for your voice of reason.
The gov of a state should SOLVE our NATIONAL problem ??
We probably have 250,000 miles of 20' high freeway/highway sound walls. This is news to you?
You can't figure out how a 1200 mile wall could be built and guarded/secured?
Thank you! Go Perry!!!!
Did you call your congress critter?
If you didn’t that’s your fault
“The Rio Grande does not separate two nations, it joins two peoples.”
“We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, “we don’t care where you come from, but where you are going, and we are going to do everything we can to help you get there.”
“President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace, as long as we demonstrate the will to address the obstacles to it. An open border means poverty has given way to opportunity, and Mexico’s citizens do not feel compelled to cross the border to find that opportunity.”
I’m really liking Cain tonight.
Newt would blow the doors off of the person who resides in the WH in a debate, but I could never vote for him.
Perry is just “meh” to me. I do not care for Romney at all, but he UNFORTUNATELY is coming across well. UGH.
I love Michele Bachmann, but she is kind of invisible tonight, and I don’t think she is ready to be CIC.
OH—loving her response about church and state right now. Go, Michelle!
this thread is NOT about freaking Texas! It’s about the United STATES. That’s plural. STATES. get over it.
Yes....Perry is coming across as a dolt. Good god what a mess he is.
You’d better believe it. This guy lost his last race in PA by 19 points. He’s very disliked here in PA.
(illegal)...please note you are calling them (illegal(...that means they should not be here in the first place... regardless how long they’ve been here should not be the deciding factor.
nyuk nyuk, Santorum gets the DADT question ;-)
Right, it encourages them to stay hid for 3 years. 3 years and your safe.
