BTW, i have never focused my attention on mexicans illegals have i? When i think about undocumented immigrants , i don't ONLY think about mexicans as some of you guys do.

30 % of the Texas prison system is filled with illegals...30 on Texas death row are not American citizens......it does not say if they are illegal or not....

Death Row Offenders with Citizenship other than American (http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/nationalities.htm - broken link)


And I forgot to mention that Officer Johnson a Houston police officer was shot and killed by and illegal (from Mexico) last year, and he said he did it because he didn't want to be deported AGAIN.

Even our liberal media here has gotten away from using that term (Undocumented immigrant), they mostly now use the term illegal immigrant...

The word 'illegal' seems to be supplanting 'undocumented' here as well concerning immigrants who are not allowed in the USA.

Because you are not an American Citizen does not mean your illegal. Those individuals could be green card holders, considering 8 million people in this country hold a green card.

I looked through that list and there is nothing to support the claim that one for sure is illegal. Btw, out of the 170 plus people on death row only 30 are non citizens.

Nothing shows that there is. They are greencard holders and temporary visa holders.

Nearly 18% of death row inmates being non citizens seems pretty significant to me.
