Dear "DREAMER Doggett": Please justify this to your constituents:
"Illegal aliens comprise 8.9% of the population in Maricopa County, AZ, but commit 21.8% of the crimes."
They are NOT all law-abiding - in fact, they are TWICE as likely to be criminals!

Gov. Perry will say: "this aint right for Texas"

Doggett's constituents are in Austin, what is it that he needs explaining?
Hate-o-rade a little sour today?

Donna, bless your heart! What a nice thing for you to say!
Tell you what, how about you post your home address and invite 20 illegals to move into YOUR backyard, to eat YOUR food, and poop on YOUR lawn (like the occuppopers did). Nnow that would be the perfect thing for a non-hater like you to do, don't you think?
But if you ARE NOT willing to post your address, why not quit harping on Liz or anyone else who has the good sense to protect their family and neighborhood!

I cited the Arizona crime stats because those numbers are well accepted - in fact, the SCOTUS considered them in the AZ case today. I'm sure that this same effect exists EVERYWHERE illegal aliens are - even there in Austin. TX. But, you might check the new district maps... Doggett won't have any constituents anywhere near Austin (at least not after November)

Sergio & Donna: Know how to keep a liberal in suspense?
Martha Dunkelberger via Texas Tribune on Facebook
Wow, Kevin...SCOTUS considered those facts and still found most of the AZ law to be unconstitutional. Perhaps you're misinterpreting them.

And I'm pretty sure the OWS folks weren't undocumented immigrants. So, perhaps people were pooping in your lawn because you're not a very nice person.

Congressman Doggett is correct. Congress needs to act and get the job done. Stop playing games with peoples lives.
