Whew, what a news day!! Just heard the Lt Governor of Texas address the issue of illegal immigration as it pertains to the state of Texas ONLY for 2016. It seems that nearly a quarter of a million (mostly illegal) immigrants there in the Lone Star State committed just north of 656 thousand crimes, again these are 2016 statistics only, which crimes include everything from murder, to all manner of drug related charges, to child molestation.

But what is all that as compared to a stupid plaque on the base of Lady Liberty, right?

Maybe you don't eat fruits and vegetables. Lots of meat though.

No green card? Commit a crime? Where was it argued that was an issue? Just when I think you could not possibly find more straw, wham-bam, here you come with another truck load. The issue at hand is that many industries count on immigrant workers, and immigrants do a lot of work, while many, apparently, commit crimes in Texas. In my view, our immigration laws do not address current global realities.
