Tells you how smart the Dallas Morning News is.

Illegals aren't even Texans.

Duh.

I stayed in Texas for about two months this year, in a place called Baytown (30 miles or so from Houston).  Some parts of Texas reminded me more of San Miguel, Mexico than they did of the United States.

I read the article. It said illegals were a big force in Texas, it did not honor them. The article spoke of their effect on the economy here in Texas and the problems they created.

Might want to look at the whole article before unsubscribing.

I cut back to only Sundays a few years ago because I like the comics and ads but couldn't stomach their loony left slant on almost everything. They've been sympathizing with the illegals for some time now and besides, as DiabloTX said, illegals aren't Texans which is all I needed to read.


I've written the paper a few of times to complain about their bias. I cancelled for a few years. The last time I wrote I asked them if I could just get their ads and comics because the rest of their paper didn't even make good toilet paper.

And I thought the Aussies were funny when they selected a Scotsman to be Australian of the Year a couple years back.

Aw heck, when I was in Lackland AFB for Basic Training, I dont think any of the service folks (cafeteria, etc) knew any more english other than "Next Airman".

I keep meaning to visit Texas again (for a better reason  LOL)...

You needn't preach to me about the town I've lived in for 40 years.  If everyone in Baytown earned what the refinery workers made then why is the town a big ****hole?

And the refinery workers make that bread through the strong arm tactics of the local Union they are forced to joi...err, work for.

Just give it a couple of more years and we won't be Americans or Texans anymore. We'll be Texicans. You'll do okay with a handle like Diablo. I'm going to have to find out what the Spanish word for Shifty is though...:confused:
