If you are in the Dallas area, then you are more than aware of the problem. Two years ago last month, I spent two weeks in East Texas, about 120 miles East of Dallas, to help a family member who had just had a tumor removed from his brain.
His county is so uncivilized that you can't purchase wine in the supermarket - I had to drive ten miles down the Interstate and across a county line. However, you could have a glass of wine with a meal in a restaurant. Thank you Southern Baptists.
You should have visited back when we had what was called "Blue Laws." All types of stupid stuff that you weren't allowed to buy on a Sunday.
But yeah, the standing ordinance is that all liquor stores have to have an accessable back door, so that the Southern Baptists can come and go without being seen by anyone else.
Are you aware of the
"3 Religious Truths?"
- Jews don't recognize Jesus as their Lord and Personal Savior
- Protestants don't recognize the Pope as the Leader of the Christian Faith.
- Southern Baptists don't recognize each other in liquor stores, strip clubs, or Hooters!
Liquor Laws here in Texas are not consistent from one community to another, much less in each county.
Here in Florida we have noted the Mexican invasion for some time now - there are at lest three Mexican grocery stores within 10 miles of where I am sitting. In East Texas, one can observe that we are not only being invaded, we are being invaded and colonized by Mexican peasants, and the government isn't doing squat.
You'll get no argument from me. I've picked up quite a bit of "espanol" just so that I can navigate those sitautions.
You go to any construction site of any type, and that's all that you see. They (whover they are) tell us that they're only taking the jobs that we don't want.
When I was driving to Madison, Wisconsin a couple of years ago, these same guys were "anglos" doing the same types of jobs. I told my friend that they must be Canadians.
Nobody has the political will to enforce laws that are already on the books.
Stop them at the border. They could round them up and send them home. They could go after the people who are hiring them. There have been a very few well publicized cases of going after the employers, but it's just a drop in the proverbial bucket.
In order to process a new hire, you have to have an I-9 form proving legal status to work. Picture IDs are a part of the process. If an employer does that, he is more or less off the hook.
There is no way that ordinary employers have the ability to determine whether or not the IDs are genuine, and most of them are so desperate for bodies that they don't care. The Govt could provide an easy means of verifying the authenticity of a Social Security Card, but as far as I know, they have never done so.
There have been several meat packing plants here in Texas recently, and a few chicken processing plants in Arkansas that have been hit by the Feds, and lots of deportations. Mostly for falsified documents.
From what I know of the proposed "immigration" bill, all that they're doing is making a bad situation worse!
I don't believe that it's practical to not have some type of "amnesty," but at the same time it's not ethical to do so. Many are here illegally, and many more will come if we don't do something about it now.
We need to have secure borders, but our "leadership" our "government" has failed the American people on Immigration. Which is evident by all of the municipalities which have recently passed ordinances prohibiting renters from renting to illegal aliens, and making "English" the official language. Farmers Branch, Texas one of Dallas' larger suburbs recently enacted such measures.
I don't know what the answer is, but from what I've seen proposed, no one in Washington seems to have a rational, logical answer either.
