Folks, the Democrats and RINO's are pulling out all of the stops,
including the race card, to block sanctuary city legislation. The
Chairman of the State Affairs Committee, RINO Byron Cook, continues
to disappoint:

The Democrats parade some hard cases of illegal immigrant students
in front of his committee, and he gets a "soft spot." How about a
soft spot for the police officers murdered in the line of duty by
illegal aliens? How about a soft spot for the thousands of
American families devastated by illegal alien drunk driving,
murder, rape and robbery? How about a soft spot for taxpayers who
foot the bill for illegal alien education, food stamps, welfare and
health care? How about a soft spot for the millions of Americans
who are unemployed and would gladly do the jobs that illegal aliens
have taken? When McDonald's has seven applicants for every open
position, it's obvious that there are millions of unemployed
Americans who are hungry for any sort of work they can get.
No, Byron Cook cares more about the theoretical harm that might be
visited upon people who aren't even American citizens and shouldn't
even be in this country than he does the clear and present danger
illegal aliens pose to the citizens of this state every day.
It's becoming clear the grassroots must adopt a scorched earth
policy in the 2012 primaries. I have an easy rule I follow: if I
haven't heard anything positive about an incumbent, I vote for the
challenger. For example, I've heard a lot of positive things about
new Republican representative David Simpson. He doesn't appear to
be afraid to stand up for what's right. I don't live in his
district, but if I did, I'd vote for him. The reason is that any
decent Republican who actually stands up for our interests is going
to be savagely attacked in the controlled media. If the
anti-American press has good things to say about someone, or
nothing to say, then most likely the incumbent isn't worth
anything. These so-called Republicans must be held to account.
I am passing along a message from the Immigration Reform Coalition
of Texas. We BADLY need phone calls to the State Affairs
Committee. Time is running out in the special session and the
rumor is that the committee is deliberately stalling, avoiding a
quorum, so as to run out the clock on this bill.
..............................................................
Please take action by calling the members below:
Status of SB9 & HB9 - Anti-Sanctuary City Bills
Since the Hearing on Monday, the bills are stalled in the House
State Affairs Committee.
After the hearing Monday night there were not enough committee
members in attendance to have a quorum -- and so, a vote did not
occur.
On Tuesday, Chairman Cook held a meeting to vote the bills out,
but there were not enough Republicans in attendance to pass the
bills out of committee!
The Session ends next Thursday and the notice just went out a
moment ago that the State Affairs Committee will meet this Friday
to vote. This is cutting it extremely close! The bills still need
three readings & votes on the House floor, then who knows how many
amendments and points of order will slow it down. The Senate
played this game at the end of the regular session and it killed
the bill.
Legislators are receiving faxes supporting the sanctuary city bills
-- BUT, WHAT WE NEED ARE PHONE CALLS. The faxes are not
necessarily being printed out by every office, and if that doesn't
happen they were never received.
Call your Representative, especially if they are on the State
Affairs Committee. Please call and email the committee members
listed below (Republicans first) with the message.
"The State Affairs Committee will be voting on Friday morning. You
want them to make themselves available for the vote on Friday.
Certain members avoided voting earlier in the week. Texans want
anti-sanctuary legislation passed so please show up and vote YES on
these bills. In addition, support a mandate for all employers to
use E-Verify.
"Sanctuary policies are not needed to protect illegal-alien
witnesses and crime victims because they are protected under the
federal "U" visa. And citizens do not want to compete with illegal
aliens for Texas jobs."
