Yes of course I understand that. However, my view is that the SC made a huge misinterpretation. When I read the amendment, I don't see how they could have interpreted it that way. It was a political decision and there's a good chance it would be a different one today.

We are not "incompetent, out of touch, and wrong headed." That is merely your opinion. The simple fact remains that TX is one of 4 states with a surplus in the state budget...FOUR out of 50. The GOP here on our state level has done a fine, fine job.

Your buddy Obama is likely pushing for this amnesty crap to push the Hispanic vote in TX up so we'll be more likely to be yet another blue state. It would ruin our economy that we have worked hard to achieve.

The reality that you seem to fail to understand, however, is that Hispanics are generally socially conservative. If the Hispanic voters increase, the GOP's best move would be to move towards even more social conservatism.

This is just sour grapes from a loser party.
Hmmm,doesn't makes sense when using voting rights for blacks as an example.....

For the same reason people wanna build one on the Mexican borders, to keep out illegals. If Texans want to leave let them fend for themselves, and that includes no free border crossings.

Hey, let's find out! I think Texas would miss all the benefits they derive from being part of the Union, let's see how well you function as an island

So you support a border fence along the US/Mexican border?
