As our forefathers once wrote," We hold these truths to be self-evident, that ALL men are created equal...". In my book that includes those "illegals" who came here looking for "the better life". And whatever happened to "Give us you tired, your poor, your huddled masses, yearning to be FREE."? Guess that meant everywhere BUT Texas. > > Immigrant labor (legal and illegal) has held Texas together for decades. > You're insane if you think it's detrimental.

And trust me, our economy is already pretty close to Mississippi's WITH immigrant labor. And the rest of Kevin's post states my feelings pretty well without any further expansion.
