...but THAT'S not what you are hearing from the MSM...oh, no, no, no, no.....
THEIR headlines read like this:
Border Volunteers Not So Welcomed in Texas..
Minutemen getting a pre-emptive cold shoulder in Texas...
Minutemen not so welcome in Texas...
They're reading from the same hymnal...YA THINK??
Read past the first lines, idiots!
Even though the liberals are screaming and crying "foul"...the governor has made his decision...
Even Sheila Jackson Lee got some print over this: U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, Texas Democrat who also asked the governor to "disinvite" the Minutemen, told Mr. Perry she was concerned that the Arizona project had given people time to get "incensed" and was worried about "deadly violence" along the Texas vigil....

Hey, Sheila! Read the reports!
The Minutemen were PEACEFUL when we were along the Arizona border!
As for the state legislators - this is what they have to say:
Mr. Hinojosa, a Democrat from McAllen, said in the resolution that Texas border communities rely heavily on tourism, commerce and the free flow of legal cross-border traffic to help support local economies and that the Minuteman patrols could "impede the traffic and negatively affect both tourism and trade along the border."
"I don't think that there's any doubt that there's a tinge of racism beneath the surface in their attempt to try to stop immigrants from Mexico," Hinojosa said. "Why don't they do that in Canada?"
Hey, aren't these the same Texas Democrats that went into hiding in a hotel/command center in neighboring Oklahoma just two years ago...defying House rules that say lawmakers cannot intentionally miss a quorum call?
Thought so...
GovernorPerry summed it up well:
"The federal government can and must do more to close the border to illegal immigration," the two-term Republican said. "Until that happens, these kinds of citizen-initiated efforts likely will be the result. If you want to send the Minutemen home, I urge you to make sure we have enough federal agents on the border to secure it."
Mr. Perry, who said 1.4 million illegal aliens live in Texas, warned that the "continued flow of a significant number of undocumented immigrants into the United States is not acceptable, especially in the post-September 11 era."
AMEN...
