Texans have always stood tall in the face of threats to our State and Nation. Because of the failure of national leadership. it is now this generation of Texans turn to defend our land." I have also received correspondence from Patricia in Houston. She says. "I am writing to let you know how I feel about the immigration issue. We have laws in effect that are not enforced. The illegal immigrants are breaking the law. They come over here and they do not want to melt into the melting pot of people. Please vote to shut down our borders and build a wall. I will even go down there and volunteer to help build that wall if necessary. You might be surprised how many people would volunteer to help build such a wall. And how dare people compare themselves to the immigrants that were our ancestors. They wanted to be Americans. They even changed their names to be more American.
