What he really means is “we’re fat enough, rich enough to tolerate rape, robbery, disease and unfettered pillaging or our traditional sovereignty to withstand during my pitiful lifetime”.

[sten]

how about we have a great wall followed by a great door with a great turn style that would have great flow control to limit immigration during times of weak economy

[NormsRevenge]

He wants sob stories.

Look around the graveyards, view the dead at the hands of illegals.

Where is the compassion for your own countrymen, Senator?

[beelzepug]

Amnesty ain’t it!!

[Paine in the Neck]

In Rio Grande City, I met a young woman who came to Texas to escape persecution in El Salvador several years ago. She did so illegally, paying thousands of dollars to be smuggled across the border.

After arriving in Texas, she fell victim to the same man she had entrusted to bring her into the country. He beat her, raped her, and forced her into a life of prostitution. For years she endured this terror and misery, until she summoned the courage to reach out for help.

Tugging at heartstrings doesn't hide the fact that only a liar or a moron would claim that amnesty is the solution here. It will just encourage millions more to try their luck in just the way this woman did. The correct policy is

1. secure the border in a transparently verifiable way;
2. end the anchor-baby interpretation of the 14th Amendment;
3. enforce eVerify without exception and with severe penalties;
4. no government benefits beyond critical emergency care (and that ought to be billed back to the home government); and
5. NO "Path to Citizenship" - ever - for anyone who has entered the US illegally.

I want the same immigration laws that Mexico has. If those laws are good enough for Mexico then they’re good enough for me!

(Note to the knee-jerk reaction crowd: You might want to know that Mexico has the most restrictive immigrantion laws in the entire Western Hemisphere.)

If this isn’t the final nail in this RINO’s box, I don’t know what will be.

NO MORE RINO’s LIKE McCORNYN!!

ABC = ANYBODY BUT CORNYN!

Shove it, Cornyn.

[Excellence]

Bad argument; we can match him case for case of people being victimized by his precious wetbacks.

Does anyone out there remember that the United States actually “owned and operated” the most successful immigration system in history?
Millions (literally) of people came to the USA, “tired, poor, yearning to be free”, and under a strict set of laws became immigrants to this great country. The children of the “tired, poor, yearning to be free”, were educated in the best education ever devised and became, proudly AMERICANS.
These new Americans fought and won 2 World Wars, built the industrial giant of the world, put men on the moon, and spread freedom around the world. All as a result of a immigration system that today is scorned.
Amnesty answers the desires of foreigners who wish to have the blessings of life in the United States, but without any desire to actually become Americans.
We do not need “Immigration Reform”. What this country requires, for its own survival, is a re-introduction of the most successful immigration system in all of history.

[tennmountainman]

Cornyn is lying to his Texas voters on his Facebook page about
his debt ceiling vote.

What else has Cornyn been lying about?

[VRWC For Truth]

Seal the f’n border you stoopid pansie Cornrow!

[P-Marlowe]

Should we weep for the hundreds of millions of people south of the border who were unable to get enough money together to pay a coyote to sneak them across the border?

Why the Hell don't we just grant AMNESTY to everyone on the planet? They all DESERVE to be AMERICANS.

Just open the border and let everyone in. IT'S JUST NOT FAIR to let the illegals who are here in free without letting everyone on the planet in free.

We can pay for it. We're only 18 Trillion dollars in debt. We still have plenty of money to put all these people on the welfare rolls.

[Little Ray]

Bull. A great country deserves secure borders and visa control system that can deal with folks overstaying their welcome.

We had a great immigration system until A-holes like this decided that there was a special class of illegal immigrant that could just ignore our laws, and now they want to reward these illegals for doing it.

[andyk]

His column was nothing but fluff, hyperbole, and gibberish.

Aside from the lack of enforcement of current law, senator, what exactly is wrong with our immigration system? We aren’t providing enough of a safety valve to the 3rd world? That is not in our interest. That is not what makes us the shining city on the hill. That’s what keeps us from being that shining city.

[crusty old prospector]

When are we just going to annex Mexico and get this over with. Then, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, etc... We’ll just be one big happy family then.
