Invade Texas? You'd probably die trying...so don't attempt it. Also, there are millions of dems living here and we are making a difference. So, next time you come up with one of these brilliant ideas, throw it where it belongs...the trash can!

Why this horseshit is tolerated, let alone celebrated is beyond me.

so willing to expose themselves as the bigots they are.

They have no shame.

It makes some wonder what other prejudices they hold.

We would just end up paying for their fence along the Mexican border. No doubt built by Halliburton on a no bid contract.
Then we would have to pay out to Booz Allen Hamilton to provide security administrators to guard the fence.
Then we would have to build an even bigger embassy than the largest embassy in the world we built in Iraq. No doubt built by Halliburton on a no bid contract.
Then we would have to supply good quality Indian labors to provide food service for everybody.
And of course we would have to keep boots on the ground to police the skirmishes between native Texans and native Mexicans, not to mention the battles between various christan sects.
And in the end China would get the Oil.
