It's getting hot out here, folks. Like ninth circle of hell hot. Arizona, Utah and now Texas... I sincerely hope that something is done at the federal level before more states decide to jump on the bandwagon.

Quote:
AUSTIN, Texas -- A Texas lawmaker says she plans to push for a law similar to Arizona's get-tough immigration measure.

San Antonio Express-News and Houston Chronicle report Wednesday that Republican Rep. Debbie Riddle of Tomball says she will introduce the measure in the January legislative session.

The new Arizona law would require local and state law enforcement to question people about their immigration status - and make it a crime for immigrants to lack registration documents.

Riddle says if the federal government did its job "Arizona wouldn't have to take this action, and neither would Texas."

Democrats say such legislation is misguided and predict it will hurt the GOP politically.

Oh crap.

Now I'm scared.

There's no way this would happen in Texas though. Right?

This is good in a way, this is where you get the "border security" that these people need to feel confident to pass an immigration reform. It has to be done eventually anyway, lots of European nations do this already.
