    So a state can grant citizenship to people just for asking if it wants to?

    Texas politicians are largely Republican.

    So....no.

    B/c they have stacked and cracked the Hispanic vote enough that it doesn't matter.

    I'm sorry, I didn't realize that was a blank check to ignore immigration law. Thanks for letting me know.

    P.S. I'll add you to the list of fucking idiots who think we should fling open our borders and become the worlds ghetto.

    :huh: The US has a border with Mexico? It sure seems as if they tore that useless Playskool grade fence down years ago, and built a covered bridge over the Rio Grande. Well you learn something new every day I guess. :damnkids:

    Republicans don't get the hispanic vote thus their desire to make it as difficult as possible for them to vote and to try to fuck them over in any way possible.

    Texas is the most gerrymandered state in the country.

    They don't get much of the Mexican vote. Hispanic covers a lot of people. I know plenty of PR and Cubans who would kick a Democrat/Liberal in the balls at first opportunity just as soon as look at them.

    And you're a moron. The law, as bad as it is, is the law, and needs to be reformed. That quote, from the Statue of Liberty, is what we should strive for. We need an immigration law that honors the spirit of the ideals the statue represents, not one that keeps Them out, because fuck Them; they're different from me!!!

    No, because "Fuck them, they are unskilled and would mostly ultimately be on the government dole"

    But hey, who cares about that, right? As long as you can feel good about yourself, no matter what damage it does to the country.

    When that was written almost all jobs were unskilled and America was rapidly growing. While it sounds nice and noble to say, the realities of the USA and the world have changed.
