Thanks for the link
And who has said it should?
Bingo! These types of irrational ideas are what most FReepers are opposed to, not to effective border control. I have yet to see anyone here support "open borders" or allowing illegals to come into the U.S. but it doesn't stop some from accusing others of just that because they oppose violent solutions.
""The groups "are completely in violation of American law itself and in violation of laws anywhere," Fox said.""
This is the thought that confuses and infuriates me when Fox was talking about the minuteman project. What laws are they breaking? If you have read the page, it is to be a peaceful reporting of ILLEGALS crossing. There is nothing unlawful about that. He should read our constitution and amendments before he starts spouting about them breaking the law. Ridiculous!
The only people I've seen use the words "open borders" are the ones calling anybody who doesn't agree with their agenda "open border lovers."
He is a man who will be remembered fondly by history.
Yep!
Good, now why were they not replaced by other alphabet soup pseudo-LEOs we don't need?
Why should anyone in the FedGov outside of the FBI, Border Patrol, and Secret Service need a gun? If it is that high an enforcement priority, they can take it to the FBI (or, better yet, the local sheriff) for armed support.
What is her lifetime ACU rating?
Please do not confuse the fools with the facts.
BTTT
The thing is, is that Bush just cut the funds to the border patrol. Is this just replacing already cut funds? and man power? or are we still on the losing end?
Her lifetime ACU rating is 91, but her 2003 and 2004 ratings were 75 and 84, respectively, not a good trend. She is sound on defense and basically OK on tax and economic issues. However, she is somewhat weak on social issues, being pro-abortion and favoring NEA funding.
Please feel free however to explain how a 90% + rating means she's no real conservative.
Her weakest area is the moral and cultural aspects of conservatism. This was most evident in her vote to affirm the fundamental soundness of the Roe v. Wade decision in 2003. Despite its overturn of centuries of opposition to abortion in both Anglo-American common law and the statutes of all 50 states before 1960, and the Supreme Court's detection of a nonexistent Constitutional "Right to Privacy" with regard to this type of infanticide, she recorded her decision in favor of Roe v. Wade.
All that said, Kay Hutchison would probably be a better governor than Rick Perry. She may do a better job of preserving the Republican franchise on restraint on state budgets, taxes, and agency overreach than Perry has. To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, a person who supports your position 80% of the time should be considered an 80% friend, not a 20% enemy.
To what bill is she adding this amendment?
The real action will come when illegal aliens are barred from judicial review, held indefinitely until deportation, and deported within a week of their capture.
Then, of course, there should be a no excuse policy for felons hiring illegals and fines set to financially incapacitate them along with mandatory minimums of ten years' imprisonment.
The Budget Bill..
Thanks
