Texas Voters Take Stance on Illegal Immigrants

Well, there is some good election news this morning in Texas, where all three referendums on the state ballot were passed:

  • REFERENDUM NO. 1 — PASSED: Federal, state and local officials should be required to enforce U.S. immigration laws.

  • REFERENDUM NO. 2 — PASSED: The Texas Legislature should require voters to provide valid photo identification to cast a ballot in any election in Texas.

  • REFERENDUM NO. 3 — PASSED: Every governmental body in Texas should have to limit its annual increase in budget and spending to the combined increase of population and inflation, unless it gets voter approval or in case of an official state of emergency.

I’m sure once the Democrats’ caucus hang-overs have passed, and they realize what’s happened, they’ll be up in faked-outrage about the “disenfranchisement of poor and minority voters.”

Which of course is utter bullshit.

The Democrats love the Mexican vote. They realize that not all of their Mexican constituents can prove that they are here in the United States legally. Democrats still want them to be able to vote for Democrats.

The majority of Texans think differently.

  2. Yes, yes it is good news.
    Although, I never really doubted that they would pass. I know a number of Texans that are of hispanic descent, and are not happy with the behavior of the illegal immigrants.

  3. i still wonder why Texas does not have a law against hiring illegals. In Az recently a law was passed banning employers from knowingly hiring illegals. the law became effective jan 01, 2008.

    actually many illegals are leaving the state now and heading towards New Mexico and Texas. Texas is going to get many more illegals.
