A Texas-sized silence as immigration talks ramp up

           
With nearly two million immigrants and a 1,200 mile boarder with Mexico, Texas is more affected by immigration than any other state.
             At the State of the Union, Governor Perry did not mention a single word about immigration and illegal immigrants. Nobody on the GOP side from Texas is even making radio talk show rounds to voice their opinion on the issue. Even the contentious immigration bills that flooded used to flood the house are no more circulating. The party leaders have been left speechless at the capitol of Texas. They are caught between their traditional supporters who would demand tough action against illegal immigrants and the repercussion of such inculcated moves.
              Immigration is not an easy subject to ignore in Texas though. About 16% of the illegal immigrants live in this state. State demographers say Hispanics will make the plurality of Texans in 2020 and will become the majority between 10 and 20 years later.
             Teas and Arizona  Governors will still be required to asses the security of the borders before a go ahead is given for the new progressive new legislation for immigration is acted upon, but the freshman Democratic US representative, Joaquin Castro does not have faith in the two governors to trust them with a fair and balanced assessment of the situation.
             For some of us who have been affected by these one sided immigration laws we can not wait to see the new laws being implemented. Considering history and every issue involved in this matter, there is nobody that has got a moral fortitude to go against the winds of change anywhere in the world let alone the USA.
