At our Hot Seat conversation at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, state Rep. Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, and U.S. Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Corpus Christi, talked state and national politics and previewed both the 83rd session and the 113th Congress.

How many million people are with out insurance 5 or 6. Remove all the illegal aliens from the total then what is the true number. I think The state should start there first and the nation should also start there first then we can get true number. Since when the census was taken we know illegal alien were not excluded from the census count. I think Americans will take care of Texans but why in the hell should we have to foot the bill for law breakers that have no respect for Texas borders. This is why Texas should go there own way. Texans know liberal blue state will do nothing more but more careless spending and bankrupting our nation and that is why red states should part from blue state if they choose to keep going down the path they are heading. If our one branch of three branches fail to hold off the liberals socialist from destroying America as a hole but if we can save some states then we must do what is right for the citizens of watch state. All I see is chaos coming and finally civil war if congress fails there will be a civil war.
