Texas Rep. Debbie Riddle To Intoduce Measure Similar To Controversial Law

A Texas lawmaker says she plans to push for a law similar to Arizona's get-tough immigration measure.

San Antonio Express-News and Houston Chronicle report Wednesday that Republican Rep. Debbie Riddle of Tomball says she will introduce the measure in the January legislative session.

The new Arizona law would require local and state law enforcement to question people about their immigration status - and make it a crime for immigrants to lack registration documents.

Riddle says if the federal government did its job "Arizona wouldn't have to take this action, and neither would Texas."

Democrats say such legislation is misguided and predict it will hurt the GOP politically.

YAH!!!!!

Democrats say enforcing Federal Law will hurt the GOP????

We MUST defend America, our culture, our language, our LAWS against criminals. There is no other option. Illegal immigrants are not above the law. Certainly they would prefer to go back a few years to the days cops would not even write tickets to Spanish speaking traffic violators, knowing it was a waste of paper. I have a traffic report showing a young hispanic CAUSED a traffic accident, had no license or insurance, but did not receive a ticket. Americans are tired of giving a free pass to hispanics who violate any law they choose and are not held accountable.
Legal immigrants MUST carry their documents. This law will not hurt legal residents or citizens. It will hurt illegal immigrants and they will fight like He-- to stop enforcement.
Illegal immigration is not a human right. It is not a Constitutional right. it is not a civil right. This is the message we must get across to the liberal media and the criminal aliens themselves.

Good!!!! Texas needed this 4 years ago!!!!

What a blatant show of racial discrimination by 1/3 of that state legislature if they vote based on ethnicity rather than what's in the best interst of their state and ALL constiuents straight across the board!
