A pleasant surprise at the Austin Airport was this life size bronze of Houston Congresswoman Barbara Jordan (1936-1996).
Jordan served with distinction as Chair of the United States Commission On Immigration Reform.
Here are some of her quotable quotes on immigration:
- “For our immigration policy to make sense, it is necessary to make distinctions between those who obey the law, and those who violate it.”
- “It is both a right and a responsibility of a democratic society to manage immigration so that it serves the national interest.”
- “One thing is very clear: Illegal immigrants are not entitled to benefits.”
- “…for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process.”

Katie has it exactly right. And Kamala Harris is an attorney and former prosecutor who is apparently too stupid to realize you don’t make statements like that in public. Katie Pavlich@KatiePavlichYou know how I know Kamala’s claim of “being a gun owner” is totally fake and disingenuous? This, right here. The last thing a gun owner wants is for someone… Read more »

This federal 2nd Amendment case has become very interesting. This judge is making the same case I have for years. Gun control was conceived in the Reconstruction/Jim Crow era because some white people thought former slaves and their children would shoot them in their beds for vengeance.
