And?

I don't know anything about Texas politics....but I've lived in 5 different states, and in every one of them, the developmentally challenged dude that sweeps clippings at my barber shop is more politically influential than the Lieutenant Governor.

Maryland is a sanctuary state with a firm tax base from Government employees and we're damn proud of it.
Marylanders sponsor children in Anacostia (DC). For $25/month, they get all the crack and fluoridated water they want.
I (personally) also do fundraisers in Northern Virginia for the MS13 and hand out live, plucked chickens on Santaria Day.

We do what we can to give back to our metro community.

Whats your point..

Great profit?
Maybe for the local farm owner, but not to the tax payers.
PLUS, you get the bonus of paying for their school and healthcare??

Why the hell wouldn't you want to close the borders?

Sounds like you're against it simply because they're conservatives.

I see.
To me, a "closed border" means limiting not only physical access, but also monetary incentive. (no dinero)

I have to apologize for viewing this from my perspective as a pretentious (albeit more highly educated, sophisticated and ... modest) northerner.


In the meantime, remember that good fences make bueno amigos.

I second the motion . . .

It's just the same old story;
The great prince issues commands,
Founds states, vests families with fiefs.
Inferior people should not be employed.

Unfortunately, exploitation of labor is like coffee grinds, you can only use it once. because they learn and improve. Every expansion we have ever had in this country was by "minorities" be it the italian road workers, the polish, the chinese railroad workers, the African slaves and so on. they have all come up, south americans were the last remaining source of near free labor; which our country is built on. When they come up too, the only ones left will be the North American couch potato blogger who has never been used for cheap labor. The time is coming.

You cant, its the curse of being born into privilege.
But therein you have cited the problem. Fortune favors the willing, not those who have become comfortably complacent. Its the law of the universe. Keep in mind, they too got complacent once and lost their land to invading underdogs.

Good catch on the typo, yes we will have to ring some other immigrants to satisfy your sweet tooth for immigrant deserts.

Its nothing short of stupid to think that mexcians are subsidized, they are only here because we want them to subsidize our lives. Thats why we hire them, (they are not employing themselves {like Chinese do}) When a mexican is hunched over all day to pick strawberries, what he is really doing is subsidizing our strawberries so they can remain at $.99cents a pint. If we were to use $10 an hour labor each pint would be $5 and above.

We only use them so that we dont have to pay for fringe benefits and give them our standard of life. So you could say that the handout you are speaking of is really to the farmer.

It's the of being born into privilege . . . .
