  • viva la rasa viva texanos mexicano cabrones.

  • They are human beings in our country. I guess that's no excuse for you. Even the children? Criminals, the whole bunch of them. For that matter, let's deny citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants, like the founding fathers intended.

    Illegal immigrants probably paid more taxes than you, GE and Exxon did. What's your excuse?

    I was almost going to recommend that you watch Rafael Anchia's video, but, oh yeah. You saw it already.

  • @cjonsson1 Actually, they don't.

    Might be indirect beneficiaries of a representative's efforts on behalf of his district, but that's not what Anchia's saying. He's very clear in that he considers them to be "constituents" and he actively legislates and lobbies on their behalf. Which is very wrong.

    There's a reason it's a federal offense for foreign nationals to vote in federal, state or local elections even if they're lawful permanent residents.

    Same reason they're not "constituents".

  • @Karma313th

    I have news for you Karma313th , our elected officials represent all people in his/her district even if they are visitors or children. The public means everyone, not just voters and taxpayers.

    ravnar101's quote is accurate. Our laws are made with the goal of achieving the common good.

  • If this bill passes it will open the floodgates for crime in Texas, politicians in Austin who are for this bill live in a closed reality, their own reality. Instead of addressing fundamental issues, or considering the consequences this bill may have, they are only worried about politics, and being reelected; even if it is at the cost of oppressing others and allowing crime to increase in their state... It is a shame people in Austin are following the footsteps of Arizona...

  • I can't believe you had the balls to post this on a public forum or that your chief of staff permitted it.

    Even more so, I am astounded that anyone who attended SMU and went on to obtain a JD would refer to "non-citizens" as his constituents. Either someone made a very poor choice of words and needs to review his OED, or the FBI needs to start taking an interest in elections in the 103rd.

    Should have stuck around and attended Dedman since apparently Tulane doesn't offer constitutional law.
