My district begins with Hispanics. what we call Anglos. Czech. Slovak. German. Polish. little Hungarian. That is the makeup of my district in south Texas. All of them speak English. All of us speak English in one form or another. But this is mean spirited. I do not care how we camouflage it. It is aiming at someone. It is aiming at a group in California or some other place. We do not want this. We do not want any more immigrants. We are going to shut it out. What are we going to do to the Statue of Liberty?
