Texas State Senator Expresses Outrage at Spanish Testimony

http://facebook.com/StandWithArizona Bravo! TX State Sen. Chris Harris (R-Arlington) spoke for many Americans when he interrupted the Spanish-language testimony of a citizen of 23 years against the Sanctuary Cities ban (SB9), to say it was "insulting" for the man not to speak English. This goes right to the heart of everything that is wrong with those who advocate for illegals and La Raza. The seperatism. The sense of entitlement. The contempt for our common language that prior immigrants always hurried to adopt. God bless you Sen. Harris for speaking for all of us!

DETAILS: During committee testimony this week in Austin, a Texas senator interrupted a Spanish speaker and telling him he should "be speaking in English" during a committee hearing.

Antolin Aguirre of the Austin Immigrant Rights Coalition was testifying against Senate Bill 9 that would help crack down on illegal immigrants in Texas. Aguirre spoke through an interpreter even though he had been in the U.S. since 1988.

Two minutes into Antolin Aguirre's testimony, Sen. Chris Harris, a Republican from Arlington, interrupted asking Aguirre's interrupter, "Did I understand him correctly that he has been here since 1988?" Harris asked. "Why aren't you speaking in English then?"

THANK YOU!! I live in Los Angeles, a close relative works for the Los Angeles Unified School District. The Illegal Immigrant population from Mexico here is SKYYROCKETING and the MAYOR of this city is a former UCLA former Socialist President ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA, who is aiding and abbetting the problem. LA is now a "sanctuary" city and the President of the Unified School District is Monica Garcia also a pro raza mover. WE hear time and time again they are using us to make children..

LMFAO People are mistaking racism for law. For you to have a job in the U.S. you HAVE to speak english. It's not a choice and to all the people saying "well white people took land from the native americans" Your talking about 2 completely different things.

A nation of immigrants sounds great, but we don't need to pursue this dream forever. We are nation of opportunity, and to take advantage of the opportunities requires learning OUR culture, OUR language, and OUR way of life. No more muslims, hispanics, etc., if they intended to change the USA into a muslim state, or mexico redux.

So what do you call "Being in Iraq"? which quite frankly I find it hard to believe but nevertheless to the point, Thats not a personal issue? Like I said before you're a hypocrite and have no facts to back up your opinions or thoughts on the matter. I think this conversation is over. Dont bother replying back and wasting more of my time with your garbage lol.

[ICEMAN595]

No I know exactly what your trying to do and you know what, its bullshit. You basiclly said you came from the "school of hard knocks". Its means nothing here. BTW I neglected to mention how much of a hypocrite you really are. You brought nothing to back up your points and you babble the same insults over and over. So I say again, who here is the weak mind one? lol

[ICEMAN595]

ROFLMFAO What the fuck is that supposed to mean? You cant even compare the 2 situations LOL :) Anyways thanks for proving my point for how much of an idiot you really are. Go back to a REAL school and earn your diploma and stop being a macho stupid fuckhead because it aint gonna work here.

[ICEMAN595]
