Sometimes they are about provoking discussion -- so perhaps you might want to rethink your assessment.<br /><br />But I will raise this question -- which is why I did share the graphic you linked to -- how do we deal with the fact that we have a population in this country whose first act upon coming here was to violate our nation's laws? And how do we avoid replicating the problem we have now if we give a Simpson-Mazolli type amnesty as was done back during the Reagan years -- signalling that if someone breaks our nation's immigration laws they will eventually get the legal status (and perhaps citizenship) that they could not have gotten if they follow our nation's laws?<br /><br />That's part of why I supported the Texas Solution in the 2012 RPT platform and am backing Jerry Patterson -- the only Republican candidate for Lt. Governor who actually supports that plank of the platform. That proposal may not be the complete answer, but it is a place to start the discussion. After all, I am much more of a Reagan/Goldwater Republican than I will ever be a Dan Patrick Republican -- and I consider Rand Paul's point to be valid.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16164118803445903585noreply@blogger.com
