Where are you forth-right Republicans?

That's a border district that hasn't elected a Republican to Congress since 1966 or so. I don't think TX-16 is part of American anymore.

I used to live there and after the fight to keep Fort Bliss open and upgraded I think it's about time to get some Republicans into the land of corruptness. Reyes is an illegal alien hugger and should have been called on the carpet long ago over the defunct border camera system!!!!
