The state of Texas is, in fact, obligated to care for the children of illegals until they graduate from high school. Federal law requires it, a fact you either can't grasp or insist on ignoring.

The issue is whether Texas should sever the relationship that the Federal government created as soon as it is legally able to do so. The children of illegals are not remotely like squatters in your yard. Like it or not, we've taken them in and made them part of our community. We've taken responsible for them and the question of how we put that burden down is not a simple one. Everyone of normal intelligence and minimal decency should understand that.

Clearly you would prefer that states not be responsible for the children of illegals, but they are. That fact has important implications for the proper relationship between the state and those children after they reach the age of majority. Raving about that reality doesn't contribute anything useful to the national conversation. You have to deal with things as they are, or be written off as a fringe kook.

Sorry, I didn't see a link to that federal law. Until I do it's just you stating it.

Federal law dictates what a person has to do to legally enter this county and coming into this country illegally is just that...illegal entry.

Either you can't grasp that or insist on ignoring the law.

No, it's more like breaking and entering. Done by the parents, the children are just collateral damage brought in by irresponisible parents that are looking for a free ride by illegally entering this country and dragging their kids, aunts, grandparants and other members of their extended families for us taxpayers to support.

If you wish to take them in, then sponsor them so they are not a drain on the taxes of citizens.

That's the way it is supposed to work.

Your "ravings" are writing yourSELF off as a fringe kook pandering to Mexico's desire to send their citizens here to colonize.

Ya know calling names only diminishes credibility.

Keep bringing them on...
