Cynical is not what she is. That is not an accurate description.

I mean no disrespect, but that is painfully short-sighted thinking. And it's exactly that kind of thinking that got us into this situation in the first place.

That's not the kind of thinking that will solve this problem.

Legislation isn't going to make the problem go away.

a little bit about the potential unintended consequences to Oklahoma of passing this 'get tough' law...

Times Record

and some from Arizona. The last line is the most pertinent.

Basically, what we have is a lot of whinning and predictions of dire consequences from those unscrupulous employers who exploit illegals and their hired advocates to drive the wages of working American families down. This includes all of the fear-mongering, trumped-up negative publicity, and over-the-top rhetoric from the pro-illegal alien lobby and its allies.

Recent polling shows that in Oklahoma HB 1804, the tough on illegals law, enjoys nearly two-to-one support from those surveyed who said it either will have, or has already had, a “very” or “somewhat positive” impact.

I don't understand the logic of an American that doesn't understand what "border" means. And I am talking "border" to the North and South.

Actually, I'd go with "breathtakingly cynical".

Look around and see where those people went. They went where the jobs are, and they aren't in Mexico. They're here.
Then vote for state legislators in Texas that will do something about it.
