Ladies and Gentlemen:
As Legal Citizens of The United States of America and Residents of The State of Texas, We are requesting demanding of you, our elected representatives to:
1. Uphold the immigration laws of this Country and State.
2. Stop placing the blame on the Federal Government for OUR immigration issues when you have done nothing to resolve the problems.
3. Recognize that as long as the illegal immigrants can get employment, education, healthcare, food stamps and Section 8 housing while being in this country and state illegally, there is nothing you can do to stop them from coming here. Stop these entitlements and they will leave.
4. Require Texas Businesses to use "E-Verify" and Create a penalty system for those who hire illegal immigrants and put them out of business.
5. Require at least 1 parent to be a citizen of the United States to give the child citizenship status to reduce the birth of “anchor babies” in Texas.
6. Cease entitlements such as Medicare, Section 8 housing and Lone Star Card for “Resident Aliens” since they are not citizens of the United States.

I have been reading through the messages you all are leaving and the depth of feeling here is truly humbling. It is your determination that fuels this effort because I never imagined so many people shared these same concerns. I am still working to get these thoughts in front of the right people.
February 24, 2010
I am honestly stunned by the momentum this has gained over the past few days. It is clear that this conversation belongs to all of you who have recognized the urgency of these issues. Thank you for taking the time to lend your weight to this cause.

use e-verify for every job in this state. if you hire illegals you should be shut down simple as that.
My family has been in Texas for generations and we are sick of paying for things that should be for citizens only. Fix this NOW.

Finally someone said it. Check everyone's papers and stop giving away tax dollars to people who didnt work for them.
