What the hell is wrong with people? Reading some of those comments makes my blood boil.

"TEXAS ONLY INVESTS IN BUSINESS, NOT IN INDIVIDUALS!"

You have to be kidding me, when did peoples brains fall in their shorts. How do you argue with a mentality that believes Government should help each individual citizen, rather than empower citizens to better themselves through an open and unabashed private sector?

So, what the left-liberals are basically saying is, "Texas works, let's destroy it."

As a Texas resident and taxpayer, I totally agree with the suggestion that "Texas is next". If and when all of the illegals are allowed to vote, the Alamo will revert to Mexican control without a shot being fired!

The major population areas - Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin - are overrun with illegals right now! The financial strain on hospitals, law enforcement, education, etc., are already taking a terrible toll in dollars and cents and there's no end to it.

The Democrats are simply biding their time and preventing any meaningful immigration control at the Federal level. Once the illegals can vote (and that will be sooner than later), Texas will instantly become a Democrat party stronghold!

If the illegal aliens ever get the right to vote, it'll start a Civil War in this country.

Through an amnesty program the current illegals would instantly become legal citizens and therefore be eligible to vote. Obama needs to ram through all of the big ticket items, like nationalized health care, before he turns our borders into turnstiles. That won't take long, though. You just pick up your citizenship documents at the border. No need to sneak in any more....Just "walk to America, where the government gives you EVERYTHING".

The exodus from CA really worries me. It's a swarm of liberal locusts. They've stripped CA of all fiscal solvency and they need more healthy state economies to feed on.

I live in Dallas and honestly I'm really worried about the influx of morons from Californa who will be comming here to ruin it.

The Mexicans are bad enough with the problems they bring and the money they send back to Mexico instead of keeping it here. I had an apartment once and there were 8 of them living in a one bedroom which is a health code violation and nothing happened to them.

The whole complex basically was overun and turned in to a slum after I moved away and bought my house.

All you have to do is look at Detroit, Las Angeles, and any other place run by liberals to see what is comming.

I doubt worshipping at the altar of The Religion of Diversity or tolerating the Green-gloved fist of ego-lunacy is something Texans will tolerate very well. For instance it is not likely Texans would destroy their irrigation of their rich agricultural regions for the sake of a minnow. Minnows serve one purpose in Texas... bait.

Alan, I have mixed feelings about that. On one hand, I sympathize with you and Texas. California used to be a great state before the liberal infestation set in.

On the other hand, I'm pleased that liberals are leaving (although I'd rather they moved to, say, Massachusetts or New Jersey, someplace they've already screwed up, than Texas). Now can we please have our state back?

I'm really disappointed. I had intended to retire and move from Wisconsin, aka, "California on the Great Lakes," and live in Texas. I, like most sane Americans, like guns, warm weather and a well run government. I support business and believe it should be left alone to employ American citizens who want to work to provide goods and services for the rest of my neighbors.

I don't know of a state in the union that doesn't better represent the ideals of our country than the Republic of Texas. And when the day comes to secede from the union, I want to be there to fight for the Republic - the Republic of Texas!

Regarding allowing illegal aliens to vote: what other country allows its fate to be decided by people that are not its own? Why not just open the American vote to anyone that wants to vote, regardless of where they are physically located? After all, if we deny them this do we not discriminate against those who were not fortunate enough to be born (or naturalized) on this particular patch or real estate?

I mean this as sarcasm, of course, but it wouldn't surprise me to see tweed-jacketed college-professor-type leftists (redundant, yes) reading the preceding and nodding in agreement. When you allow non-citizens to vote you open the door to those hostile to the United States to decide the fate of the United States by voting for people and policies that benefit them, not the United States or its citizens. Illegals that vote come in two varieties, each as toxic as the other: people that are trying to get something for nothing by voting in those who promise to shower them (non-taxpayers) with benefits paid for at taxpayer expense; and people the are hostile to the US voting in people more sympathetic to their agenda, like BHO and company.

It completely astounds me that there is anyone, even the most statist, power-hungry, elitist crackpot, that thinks that allowing non-citizens to vote in a US election at any level is not only a good idea but a great idea. Are they completely blind to the dangers, not just monetarily but in national security? Their answer, of course, is that we have too much money that we stole unfairly from the rest of the world, and thus we don't deserve security. This line of thinking, too, floors me. America is not perfect, but we represent the greatest expression of personal freedom we've yet seen, certainly in modern times and possibly in human history. It does not guarantee prosperity for everyone, but it does (or did, before FDR got his hands on us) guarantee everyone the opportunity to try, and if you fail to keep trying until you succeed.

As for Texas, it is time for the patriots still in residence to take a stand for what Texas, and America, are supposed to stand for. Don't let the left shame you into allowing their creeping power grab to succeed. Don't listen to the guilt-mongers and race-baiters that screech about how "unfair" it is that you made it and someone else didn't. Don't get suckered into paying someone else's way. Don't let the government balloon to a California-sized bureaucratic nightmare that requires an ever-increasing supply of tax revenue to continue to exist, let alone function. And for God's sake don't relinquish any of your civil rights, for if you do you will never, ever see them again.
