But I also look at Brownsville. TX. which is having severe economic problems. and I watch it adding one new school room every other week. One of the main problems is illegal alien children who have to be taught in that school. That is the additional burden that is happening to us. I look at a country with a 2.000mile common border. I look at an industrialized nation that has a Third World country next door to it. and I know what that means to us. I have watched at least three immigration bills progress almost to this point and then I have seen them fail because people were looking for a more perfect piece of legislation. I understand that. I have also seen a situation where I sent a survey out to over 1.400 Hispanics in the State I have the honor of representing.
