Four Congressmen, Michael McCaul, Ted Poe, Sheila Jackson Lee and Gene Green held a Congressional hearing in Houston today. I drove in last night to be there. Demonstrators from both sides began showing up at 5:00 a.m. 90% of the PRO-Illegal crowd was bussed in by an orgaizaton known as "The Metro Organization" (TMO)which is sponsored by the Catholic Church who wants illegals here. They need the Mexican Catholic's money since attendance has fallen off due to the Child Molesting Priests Scandal.The MSM version - complete with a picture of "immigrants" holding a sign in effect saying that God is on their side - is here.
The Chair, Congressman McCaul and GOP Congressman Ted Poe were GREAT!!! Gene Green (D) wasn't too bad. Sheila Jackson Lee was her same old "witchy" self. The Chair wanted to show a video of violence on the Texas border and she objected to he video being shown. The Chair overruled her. She also addressed the PRO-Illegal Demonstrators before the hearing.
All 17 "witensses" that testified before the Committee were ANTI-Illegal Immigration and ANTI-Amnesty. Sheriffs Flores and Jernigan from Laredo and Del Rio respectively were present and "on fire" as was the head of Border Patrol...

Another sign the illegal immigrants had (from the second link) said "Fight Ignorance Not Immigrants!". As usual, they don't mention that they're illegal immigrants and they accuse their opponents of ignorance. They're saying that having a "wrong/ignorant/racist" opinion is worse than breaking the law! Is this what we want in a country that values fairness, justice, and freedom of speech?

Naturally -- fact suppression along with syrupy appeals to emotion (or religion) are the mainstays of the pro-illegal crowd. A fairminded debate must be avoided, because it's too easy to see, once it is pointed out(which the MSM rarely does), that filling the country with underclass Hispanics is not exactly a good idea.
