Half of immigrants in Texas are there illegally, study says

Interesting story here.
Half of the nearly 3.5 million immigrants living in Texas are in the country illegally, the Center for Immigration Studies says in a report being released today. Based on the latest Census Bureau data, the report said Texas has one of the fastest-growing immigrant populations of any state.
And where, you might ask, does our illustrious temporary Congressman Lampson stand on the issue of illegal immigration? Here's a hint...

He's rated 0% by FAIR -- indicating a voting record loosening immigration.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is a national, non-profit, public interest membership organization of concerned citizens united by their belief in the need for immigration reform.

Founded in 1979, FAIR believes that the U.S. can and must have an immigration policy that is non-discriminatory and designed to serve the environmental, economic, and social needs of our country.

FAIR seeks to improve border security, to stop illegal immigration, and to promote immigration levels consistent with the national interest—more traditional rates of about 300,000 a year.

With more than 70,000 members nationwide, FAIR is a non-partisan group whose membership runs the gamut from liberal to conservative.

The ratings are based on the votes the organization considered most important; the numbers reflect the percentage of time the representative voted the organization's preferred position.

Sign created by Billy Iman who lost his son Dustin when an illegal failed to stop at a traffic signal and hit Billy's car at full speed in the rear.

Nick. A big fat ZERO.

Next time you pay an exploding hospital bill, can't get into an emergency room, have your school district taxes go up or read about another crime committed by someone here illegally -- remember to thank Nick Lampson.
