As a Texas resident myself, does immigration personally affect you?
I've lived around immigrants my entire life--in Arizona and Texas both--and cannot think of one instance where I have ever personally had a problem. Just wondering if someone could give me concrete examples of what immigrants have done to them personally...not to "a friend of a friend", "a brother-in-law"...etc.  Seems the immigrant straw man is easier to rip apart than the immigrant strong man. |
