Texas aims to create immigration law like Arizona

Texas, like the rest of the country, is getting tired of illegal immigration and they are considering adopting the same kind of law that made Arizona so controversial earlier this year.

Debbie Riddle, a Texas State Representative from Houston actually camped out all night on the State Capitol in Austin and went ahead in filing the immigration bill because she claims, "the people of Texas are no longer asking, but demanding it. We have to make some significant steps toward illegal immigration and in addition to that, border security."

I give full credit to Ms. Riddle for moving in the right direction on establishing a new immigration law in Texas, and it is a dire shame that the rest of the Border States are not taking any notice. Now Ms. Riddle does acknowledge that her proposed law does have some differences such as if someone is arrested on a warrantless arrest, a law enforcement officer can inquire to one's legal status and if this person is here illegally and verified through Immigration and Customs Enforcement, they can actually be detained for illegal trespassing, which would result in a misdemeanor.

It would probably be very beneficial for Texas to go ahead and vote on this bill, and for Governor Rick Perry to sign it into law. In Houston, the gang-related violence connected with Mexican drug cartels has risen more than 250% since 2004, and it has become a real threat to the safety and security of the citizens living in Houston and throughout the rest of the State, particularly the areas near the border. This was exactly the reason why Arizona signed their law into effect in the first place..., to enforce its own laws in accordance of the federal law, and to protect its people. Something that the people in Washington D.C., simply don't care anything about.

Texas has always been a state that has sort of a "maverick" viewpoint on issues, and they're usually not the kind of state to put up with nonsense. Governor Perry earlier this year was slightly critical of Arizona's right to enforce immigration law and protect its people, saying it was a federal responsibility. Hopefully he will now recognize that is a serious issue, the violence on the borders has escalated this year, and the backstabbing members of Congress in Washington are not going to do anything to enforce the federal immigration law and help the States protect themselves from the in-pouring of hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, and members of the criminal drug cartels.

For liberal America, its all theory to them, the Hispanic/Latin America Human Rights Groups and the ACLU, for example, believe that the federal immigration law needs to simply be ignored, and we're all suppose to keep our borders wide open, let all of the these people just come in here who don't speak a word of English, overpopulate our States, take advantage of our broken welfare system, destroy our cities with garbage and make way for drug cartels as a central place to carry out their business.

It is almost as though liberal America, who always voice their opinion on wanting 'freedom for all', wants to simply disband all of our existing laws, and turn us into a complete anarchy country. Speaking from someone from California, I guess I can relate on that level since California is on the verge of collapse and the cost of illegal immigration is almost about half of California's financial problems. I'm sure you're going to hear all sorts of criticism from these types of left-wing radical groups that it’s going to lead to racial profiling, or it’s a violation of human rights.

Well, who cares! The fact of the matter is, quite frankly, people are sick and tired of putting up with this problem.

We don't need anymore illegal aliens in this country; we don't need anymore members of drug cartels trafficking through our States posing as a threat to people; we as taxpayers, don't need to have to continue to pay tens of billions of dollars a year for the costs of illegal aliens, our States and our Country simply cannot afford it any longer.

Once the Texas legislature votes on the bill, hopefully Governor Perry will reconsider his thoughts and sign the bill into law. Do it Governor Perry!
