Immigration hot topic at town hall meeting
Representatives Orr, Zedler host event in Burleson
By Leia Jobe/reporter2@trcle.com
Most of the 40 people who attended Tuesday’s town hall meeting in Burleson supported stricter voter identification and spoke against illegal immigration.
Texas State Representatives Rob Orr, R-Burleson, and Bill Zedler, R-Arlington, hosted the event at the First United Methodist Church through a partnership with the Texas Conservative Coalition.
Conservative leaders State Rep. Dan Flynn, R-Canton, and Linda Harper-Brown, R-Irving, with John Colyandro, executive director of the TCC Research Institute, helped host the event.
The two-hour meeting drew lots of interaction from concerned audience members.
Most in the audience supported increased voter identification requirements and opposed illegal immigration.
All attendees agreed illegal immigration was a problem.
Colyandro and audience members said that causes of the illegal immigration problems included lack of enforcement, extreme poverty in Mexico, opportunity, a broken system of work visas, the long wait and high cost of legal immigration, language and cultural issues, costs for medical care and education, and crime.

I'm glad this was a productive, satisfactory interaction for all involved. But, regardless of what has been done: House bills 1, 126, 1196 and Senate Bill 11 were passed to help with border security, human trafficking, document fraud, and employer sanctions.....I can't really see that it helps Texans much if the governor and others are not interested in enforcing the laws.
And with the apparent new flood of illegals heading for Texas from other states and prepared to hunker down, more determined than ever that they aren't going anywhere, how is Texas not going to be the next CA on the verge of complete collapse?Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

Texans are Conservative by nature, Californians tend to be more Liberal. That's the difference. In other words, Texans won't be hugging the illegals, instead they will advise them to get while the getting is good.
40 is not a bad turnout for the Burleson Area. It's a rural community.
