God, this is just handing Texas stereotypes to the rest of the country on a silver platter.

White culture is so toxic.

I blame it on the breakdown of the family unit due to all those Democrat welfare giveaway programs. And that thug music that they all listen to these days. They have no one to blame but themselves and their violence-glorifying culture.

Keep in mind that if the Federal Gov't had done its job there never would have been an Arizona immigration law. As long as the federal gov't perpetuates the problem by failing to set upon a common sense policy and then enforce it effectively, it creates a vulnerability, an opening to be filled by the worst sorts. 

What is its job? If you expect us to make our several thousand mile border with Mexico so secure and armed that not a single person will ever pass unauthorized, I'm going to tell you it's a foolish pipe dream and that the costs of doing that far outweigh the benefits. This isn't Israel where you can just put some concrete barriers up in an area the size of Rhode Island. It's not Europe where you can keep East Germans from escaping with a few hundred miles of concertina wire and a guard tower every other mile.

No, there are none of the fabled Gay Mexican Muslim Communist Terrorists swimming across the Rio Grande to take away our freedoms. They're not stealing our jerbs. They're not lounging around raiding the public treasury.

Which means if someone comes illegally going forward you deport them. If a business hires illegals, you fine them. That is what the Federal gov't failed to do thirty years ago and the problem will continue until that changes otherwise immigration will always be broken system in need of a fix.

That takes time, manpower and money. Are you willing to spend more on DHS? Where does that come from? Are we going to take money away from Americans to deport non-Americans? Are we going to raise taxes? Also, do we need to revisit just which party was in power thirty years ago and granted amnesty to illegal immigrants?

Quite frankly, I really don't understand what the big deal is. Are you really screaming bloody murder over Manuel the dishwasher who is too scared of getting arrested to try to sign up for any "welfare" programs and just wants to put food on the table, send his kids to public schools (which, in Texas, are paid for by sales and property taxes, which he most certainly does pay) and generally be left alone?

But during the recession, those people did respond to market forces. Illegal immigration slowed and many people who were here did "self deport" as there were no houses to build, no houses to clean, no restaurant customers whose dishes to wash, etc.

Again, if there is no work for them, they can't just stick around. They are scared of getting arrested and if they aren't making any money here, it isn't worth the risk. Quit believing the party Kool-Aid about the illegal Hispanic equivalent of Cadillac-driving welfare queens.
