The Brief: Top Texas News for June 12, 2012
The Big Conversation:
Texas Republicans may have embraced their party's new immigration stance, but the plank has exposed some rifts.
As the Tribune's Julián Aguilar reports, the Texas Republican Party has come under fire from Democrats alleging that the party is pandering to Hispanics by promoting a guest-worker program, support for which Republicans added to their party platform at their convention over the weekend.
Though Republicans have come to the defense of the program, which would bring foreign nationals to the U.S. when jobs become available, the debate has highlighted still-simmering immigration disputes within the party ...

While most of us sit on our backside, eating pizza, watching football games, the politician we elected are plotting their next move on illegal immigration. They are voicing the mantra that our immigration laws are broken, but what they really ought to do, is amend the statutes. What really got me going this day was that foreign nationals who illegally squatting here in this sovereign nation are demanding even more? What caught my eye was a group of illegal alien women in Chicago have gone on hunger strike demanding organ transplants. That the medical chief of Rush Hospital, the only medical center in Chicago performing transplants on illegal migrants and immigrants at a cost of between $100,000 and $200,000 each. Illegal aliens are not just insisting on major surgeries, but taxpayers are forced by court ordered mandates to attain dialysis. An old friend of mine, a U.S. citizen died some months ago, spent years trying to get a kidney transplant to no avail? Something is seriously wrong with this picture?
Sen. Richard Lugar was beaten out of his seat by Tea Party State Treasurer Richard Mourdock. This looks to me as a forecast of things to come for both political parties. Tea Party Scott Walker in Wisconsin kept his position as governor, because he stood up against the Unions and in keeping with his strong Conservatism.
The only way the American citizen and legal resident is going to get any relief from demands from this illegal alien invasion, from the tax base being eroded away for financial illegal alien welfare, is to join a local TEA PARTY and throw out every single politician, who says we owe the world a living? That is the Liberals, the majority of the Democrats and a few Republicans. Only the TEA PARTY leadership will stop this fiasco of our immigration laws. Since the inception of the 1986 Simpson/Mazzoli bill, since the 1990 Immigration Act, the laws have been all but ignored, which includes the lie about the length of the border fence. Did you know for instance the 2006 Secure Fence Act, was designed originally as two parallel fences—NOT ONE? Want to see the end of Sanctuary cities, chain migration and any kind of newly amnesty. Another bill as the 1986 Immigration Control and Reform Act that was immersed in fraudulent applications, drawing even more illegal aliens from across the world and what taxpayers are still paying for in pensions and retirement.
H.R. 2885 - Already soundly sponsored is Mandatory E-Verify, which was primarily sponsored by Senator Lamar Smith of Texas. The bill entitled ‘The Legal Workforce Bill’ (H.R.2885) has been obstructed by Ranking House speaker, John Boehner of Ohio and Dave Camp of Michigan, who is Chairman of the controlling Ways and Means Committee. Americans must be adamant that these lawmakers pass E-Verify having gained a success rate nationwide, but are still merely voluntary. We must insist both parties place (H.R.2885) to be offered on the house floor without delay. Millions of Americans that remain jobless would benefit highly from mandatory E-Verify opening up the job market. This computer based government application can detect illegal workers and reject them from every business—large and small—with heavy sanctions for unresponsive company owners.
Farmers are just as incorrigible as they pay little or nothing towards the illegal aliens they employ, leaving the medical treatment, schooling and welfare benefits for the state taxpayer to cover.
H.R.140 - The Birthright Citizenship Act introduced by Rep. Steve King would end Birthright Citizenship, requiring that at least one parent of a child born in the United States be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident. The U.S. is one of only two developed nations to still offer Birthright Citizenship. This is a hundred billion dollar expenditure for taxpayers of Smuggled children inheriting instant citizenship through erroneous laws, which have not as yet been tested in the Supreme Court. Another unfunded mandate, that is part of uncompensated mandates such as education through high school graduation, free health treatments from the common cold to expensive surgeries paid by YOU. An overcrowded prison system full of criminal aliens that is to blame for high percentages of wicked acts in the U.S. Then a profusion of welfare programs manipulated by both parties, giving access to programs, denied to our citizens and permanent residents.
Decades of planned encouragement by both political parties, erupted as an major response from grassroots anti-illegal alien organizations, including NumbersUSA, Americans for Legal Immigration (ALIPAC), The Heritage foundation, The Federation for Immigration Reform (FAIR), Judicial Watch and thousands of more groups, blogs available to all readers across the World Wide Web. Let your Senator or Congressman/Women know that they are not eligible for your vote, if they are discovered pampering the millions of invaders who have settled here illegally--phone DC. , Switchboard at 202-224-3121 Demand also that your state adopts a voter ID law, so no non-citizens, illegal aliens, felons or even the deceased can manipulate the pending elections, including the Presidential vote. Whether it’s Florida or any of the other 50 states, non-citizens voting in an election, compromises the integrity and trust of the system.
