Texas Cities Join Others in Brief Opposing Arizona Law
The city of Austin didn’t like Arizona’s controversial immigration-enforcement law — SB1070 — when it first passed in 2010, and it still doesn’t like the measure today as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments for and against it.
In 2010, the city of Austin quickly passed a resolution that urged city departments to sever ties with businesses in that state.
Council members said then they wanted to send a message that they opposed racial discrimination of any kind, and they didn’t want to risk subjecting city employees to “unfounded detentions while on official city business ...

What business do the liberal loons who claim to run Austin have meddling in the affairs of other states anyway? They may be happy living in an illegal alien-infested city and state but that doesn't mean Arizonans have to put up with that BS.
Here's a clue.... the Obama regime is corrupt to the core and doesn't want existing laws enforced. States have a right to combat an invasion when the loathsome, crooked feds refuse to do so. In fact it would be nice to see states like Arizona and Alabama move to secede from the union seeing how it has been taken over by communists and corrupt banksters.

In other words, it's okay to support illegal immigration and to disregard the laws of the USA!

Fellow Texans, we must not compromise, we must support Arizona and all the states that are in support of enforcing our immigration laws; we have immigration laws and what we need is to enforce our laws, do not let the Austin corrupt politicians play on your sentiments. I love people, Mexicans are my family, I have family in Mexico and South America, but I Am an American and I will Not betray my country, I will not be part of the destruction of this beautiful country that give me the opportunity to enjoy freedom and become the best I can be.
Fellow Texan, if you call yourself an American, it is your duty to demand from this corrupt government to enforce our immigration laws. You decide freedom or economic slavery, because this issue is about greed for power and money, it has nothing to do with love, humanity or social justice. If the politician are concern about social justice, they should work with Mexico to finish the exploitation of Mexicans human capital and to stop the destruction of the agriculture of Mexico by the exportation of cheap corn and other products to Mexico; This United States destroy millions of Mexicans jobs that is why millions of Mexicans come to our country illegally. This is the truth but not one dare to tell the truth, not La Raza, The Border Network for Human Rights, LULAC or the rest of the Mexicans organizations that claims to be concern about Latinos or Mexicans, they are a joke, because they know that this will not be done, they are using the Latinos to gain political power only.
The truth is that this corrupt government deceive us, they never attempted to enforce our immigration laws; they created this invasion of illegal aliens an immigration crisis that they claim is impossible to enforce. and they are working to sell us again the same solution that fail to work before and created the situation worse. Today we are living this nightmare created by President Ronald Reagan's solutions to fix this country's illegal immigration problem of the 1980's and we are not buying it. We want real solutions, we know the problem because we are Americans of Mexican heritage, we actually lived through and knew then that it would not work, as we can see it today and definitely will not work now. In Texas illegal aliens take over one million jobs from us Native-Born and American citizens and cost the Texans taxpayers billions of Dollar in education, Medical, incarceration and social service. Today the Mexican exodus had created a crisis in our school system, Texas schools are in a crisis, but not one wants to tell the truth; also this huge immigration is a threat to our security as drug cartel members are moving to Texas and buying property because this corrupt government made easy for them to move to Texas to do their dirty business.
We must ask this corrupt government to secure our borders and enforce our immigration laws.

Texans have there work cut out to remove these people who support illegal aliens. The voters need to make dam sure to vote all the democrats and the few rhinos in office who support these illegal aliens. Once we get the right people in office then make the cities enforce the laws of our land either that or do away with all laws and let the battle begin.
We know Perry must go and all the other rhinos like speaker of the house is a fraud and a rhino. We have a few more and Texans must seek them out and remove them from office.
Anyone BUT the fraud and traitor Obama and democrats!

No one in Texas has any jurisdiction over Arizona or any other state since we have our own problems with immigration! We need to get our act together or we will end up with millions of illegals voting in OUR elections. The E-verify or photo ID is as close as we can get to avoiding a lot of voter fraud. I know a lot of people have multiple drivers licenses and multiple social Security numbers like Obama has. It does not excuse any of them. They should all be imprisoned and or deported!
I believe the charge is fraudulent activities! Texans MUST stand up to Obama, his friends of ACORN and his need for all those fraudulent votes! We need to chop apart ACORN and burn it as we would an evil demon spirit! They are evil. Ig makes me so sick to know that my country has come to this! I want to being back national pride as I knew it over 60 years ago. We didn't have to lock our doors. We felt is was safe to let our children go play outdoors without having to keep watch from a window. Now with children being stolen and placed into slavery and criminal activites and or killed, it is a horrible place to raise our children.

If current Federal Laws were enforced regarding the hiring of illegal immigrants there would be no need for Arizona to pass their own immigration law.

referring to the administration of George W. Bush.
If it is ok with you... I will not hold my breath.

Thanks to the Latino political caucus and the Mexican organizations such as La Raza and Lulac.Today we are a multicultural country, more divided than 50 years ago, with a population of illegal and legal immigrants that are not integrate into the American culture, at the top of the list are the Mexicans 35 millions of them with the biggest percent of babies born to single moms with incomes less than $15,000 per year, second are other Latinos from Puerto Rico, central and south America that form this new class of welfare citizens, that cost the American tax payers billions of Dollars, politicians claims that they are productive and a contribution to our communities, but the numbers show a different picture, when you ad the cost of education, medical, social service and the incarceration of the illegal aliens criminals. Now we have another mass migration of Mexicans "The rich Mexicans that seek residence in our United State"; we can blame the Obama administration for this exodus of Mexicans, because they are the ones that arm the Mexicans drug cartels that use these arms to kill thousands of Mexicans and created this chaos in Mexico.
My question to the Americans of Mexicans descendant is; where is their loyalty to the United states or Mexico?. Mexicans here want to trash our Constitution and the rule of law to defend the illegal aliens, they used the race card and other tactics to force on us immigration reforms. I hope that they see what they are doing to the rest of the Latinos that love our country the USA. We are the loyal ones that will stand for our beloved USA.
