and I'm sure we wouldn't have Kagen or Sotomayer...

And thereby heartily cast your vote for Barack Obama and all he represents. Way to go!

I agree with your hogwash statement. By the way, I think according to the law that was passed you had to show residency for 3 years, not one. You also are required to already have filed for citizenship...

Then you shall be responsible for Barack Obama's second term. Happy now? Just how old is Justice Kennedy, how is he feeling lately....

As a fellow Texan, I share your concerns. The problem is that the Supreme Court has dictated that we must provide services to any PERSON who shows up for it regardless of their Citizenship. Therein lies the problem...

Texas is NOT paying for illegals college education. The law is that a student proving that he has lived and gone to school for the previous years in a Texas school can apply for the In State tuition rate. That rate is the break even mark in providing the education by the University. The University then raises the rates for out of state attendees and that's where they make their profits. In order to see the wisdom, you need to know the proper question.

Tony, it doesn't matter how EV, You, or I interpret the 14th amendment. The Supreme Court did that for us, now we have to live with that decision until it can be corrected. Your wishing it were so doesn't help anything. I'm having a hard time figuring out how Rick Perry influenced the Supreme Court in that ruling as you have been rambling on....

Tony, if the sun didn't come up tomorrow, it would be dark. That's how much sense you are making. The Texas Constitution is a valid document and it dictates how laws are made in Texas. We follow our Constitution, unlike Washington and the US Constitution. The Legislature does not ALLOW people to vote on laws, not Constitutional. The people of Texas vote on Constitutional Amendments.

there were public hearings on this law that lasted months. There were 100 to one people testifying in favor of this bill when it was being considered. The Texas Legislature voted almost unanimously for this bill. Baby Karl is not spamming, just trying to shed a little light and truth to the subject matter of the article.. Can't handle the truth?

dpipkin, you are either terribly misinformed or a liar. The only thing Perry is against is having a physical fence where a fence cannot be built feasibly, which is most of the Texas Mexico Border. He correctly states that "boots on the ground" more border patrol, national guard, and the expanded use of drones to shore up the border. Us Texans have already put in 400 million in funds to buy equipment and boots in way of TDPS, Texas Rangers, and National Guard troops. Where is the USGovt funding? Facts are a stubborn thing, dpipkin, but then you knew that....
