Thread: Texas Congressman tells Legislature to back off immigration

Gotta love how the cheap labor lobby whines that "nothing has been done" on the federal level about [illegal] immigration over the past couple of years -- as if their desire for another huge, guaranteed disastrous amnesty bill would somehow be "progress."

It's time for vigorous interior enforcement.

last time i looked, the feds gave the states and local municipalities the right to enact and enforce their own laws as they see fit.

who is this jackA$$ trying to kid.

"We haven't had anything done (at the federal level) the last two years, so the pressure will be increased," said Bill Hammond, president of the Texas Association of Business and a former Republican state representative for Dallas.

Laws targeting businesses that hire illegal immigrants already have passed in Arizona, Oklahoma and other states.

According to Texas Employers for Immigration Reform, a pro-business and pro-immigrant group, the industries that would be most affected by tougher immigration enforcement are farming, construction and the service industry.

"These laws could be very harmful to Texas businesses," Hammond said. "It's shortsighted and we'll likely end up with a lot of lawsuits being filed."

Berman is absolutely right, most Texas legislatures will vote for his bill. My two congressmen are among them.

According to Berman, illegal aliens “brought with them a number of diseases that we have to treat them for. For example, the illegal alien has brought into the United States a multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis, leprosy, the plague, polio, malaria…â€

When we had the vote last year on the ordinance to ban illegals from renting apartments ,my rep. Raphael Anchia was in our city to oppose it and represent the illegals . He is a real piece of " work " . Talking to
him is like talking to the proverbial brick wall .
