Texas has long been a hotbed of controversy on immigration issues. And a proposed immigration bill in the Texas state House is sure to raise more than a few eyebrows. The bill would make hiring an "unauthorized alien" a crime punishable by up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine, unless that is, they are hired to do household chores.

Yes, under the House Bill 2012 introduced by a tea party favorite state Rep. Debbie Riddle -- who's been saying for some time that she'd like to see Texas institute an Arizona-style immigration law -- hiring an undocumented maid, caretaker, lawnworker or any type of houseworker would be allowed. Why? As Texas state Rep. Aaron Pena, also a Republican, told CNN, without the exemption, "a large segment of the Texas population" would wind up in prison if the bill became law.

Tea Party immigration - throw everyone in jail except those who cut my grass.

Since January 3, 2011, Republicans have controlled the power of the purse.

Does it get any better than:

...without the exemption, "a large segment of the Texas population" would wind up in prison if the bill became law.

Rep. Riddle made headlines last year when she claimed unnamed FBI officials had told her that pregnant women from the Middle East were traveling to America as tourists to give birth, and then raising their children to be terrorists who could later enter the U.S. freely as citizens -- so-called "terror babies," a devious offshoot of "anchor babies." She became somewhat infamous on the web when she stumbled repeatedly in a CNN interview about the claims, complaining later that host Anderson Cooper's line of questioning was more intense than she had prepared for.

"They did not tell me you were going to grill me on specific information that I was not ready to give to you tonight," Riddle said when Cooper pressed her for more details. "They did not tell me that, sir."

I clicked the link and you see a picture of her dressed in that ridiculous outfit and she sums up the reason I disregard on the Tea Party as a movement. I don't see how Republicans/Conservatives who claim to be always on the look out for manipulations by the big bad govt fall for such easy propaganda. I mean why are they not suspicious of people who wear clothing that resembles a flag? Who are unable to think on their feet? But rather sling out slogans? It tells me that they want to be led like sheep rather than being on the look out for wolves.

Because they have kissed their brains good-bye. "Ever since man developed his superior brain and the capacity to think, he's carefully avoided the painful process"; I think Gordon Childs said that.

From the article:

"It guarantees a measure without integrity that sends a mixed enforcement message and does nothing to stop the long-standing deplorable 'we don't want you but somebody has to do those menial jobs' attitude that has paralyzed our immigration policy for decades."

It is erratic enforcement that keeps immigrants entering the country illegally. (I believe that's a function of human nature discovered by BF Skinner)

US History sez.... once you been here for awhile you let the next bunch coming in do your grunt work. Seems like sort of an English cultural thing. Even the poorer families there often had live-in maids and cooks.
