Mmm-hmm. Think sidewalk. It's on something called an "easement." That means it's not the property of the homeowner even though it's in front of their house and theirs to edge and mow around. Same is true for the borders. It's a federal issue. Cameras BEHIND the border? Yes. And guess what? Perry put cameras there!! When the legislature refused funding, he rounded up GRANTS to fund them and fulfilled his campaign promise. Man, you're thick.

As for the Dream Act, it deals with ANYONE living in Texas for at least three years that attended Texas public schools. And as far as I know (I teach at Texas Tech), our public universities are NOT overcrowded. The Texas Dream Act was hardly a handout, and the state is better off with educated Mexicans running around than uneducated. Did you know they get to serve in our military, too? Oh, the humanity!! What a soundbite you are. THINK!

“Mmm-hmm. Think sidewalk. It’s on something called an “easement.” That means it’s not the property of the homeowner even though it’s in front of their house and theirs to edge and mow around. “

LOL. I hope you don’t teach real estate there. A sidewalk is only an easement if it on YOUR property, but others have the right to use it because they need it to access something of their (like a pipeline) or they need a path to transit your property (for the case of where you block their access to a street).

As to the border - I agree that it is a federal job. But there are a number of things that can be done at the state level that are simply not being done here, and I simply have to believe that it’s because the governor doesn’t want them done. I use the term “open borders” to describe our governor, because I cannot imagine him cracking down on illegals at the federal level when he won’t do it at the state level. That simple.
