"Texas Libertarian Candidate & Texas Immigration Reform"


After the historic shut down that recently took place, all of the talking heads started predicting the next stand-off. What's the next legislative 'obstacle course' these politicians are gonna drag us through now? Everyone weighed in that it would be immigration.

As predicted -- it's the 'bitch of the bunch'.

It looks like the Democrats want to vote on immigration reform before the end of the year, but again, Republicans want to 'walk' the process by enforcing different parts of a separate bill piece-by-piece while the Democrats wants pass their entire chunk. As of this writing, three Republicans have sided with the Democrats.

Obviously, Texas being a border state is definitely making this the main topic for the upcoming election and everyone's moving quickly to fight against or for immigration reform.

One group of activists referred to as Stop The Magnet (STM) have been busy demanding that the law be enforced to keep 'the illegals' out of Texas. Their argument is that an open border threatens:

“...overpopulated schools, rising taxes and crime, declining property values as illegal aliens are accessing our taxpayer funded infrastructures.” - Elizabeth Theiss (founder)
They further state in their site page that accusations of 'hate' and 'racism' deflect from their cause.

While the mainstream media focuses on the grassroots agenda of the tea party and that of the traditional parties of the right and left, one Libertarian candidate for the upcoming Texas election, is campaigning on allowing our Mexican neighbors to cross freely; a similar effort that previous Mexican presidents have supported. 
 
According to STM, candidate Gene Chapman was asked about his stance on immigration reform but claimed that there was no reply therefore nothing was posted. On Chapman's blog however, he posted "Stop the Magnet" Is Immoral, which was apparently his actual response to STM's questions concerning immigration.

The spurring of the topic started by the doing away of Perry's instate-tuition for the children of illegal immigrants. Even if the immigration reform bill isn't dealt with in Washington, it's going to be the center of everything here in Texas.

Syrian air base attack triggered blame on Obama for chemical weapons in Syria

Embed from Getty Images ( BlastingNews ) - Since the Syrian air base attack, the discussion over chemical weapons in Syria continues to develop with the new comparison between diplomacy and military action. In that comparison, the Obama administration is still taking some heat from conservatives about how they are at fault for doing nothing. In this article about a discussion that took place on Charlie Rose between conservative columnist Bret Stephens and former White House official Tony Blinken, the blame over Syria's chemical weapons is about what was declared and what wasn't. To add, Stephens continues to tow the Republican line about the former president's "red line" statement and how they feel it made America look weak.

Devin Nunes Gains GOP Support To Attack Mueller's Investigators

Embed from Getty Images Since being cleared by the House Ethics Committee in early December, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) has reportedly amp'd up his efforts to investigate those who are investigating President Trump over possible collusion with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential election. The committee initially began their investigation against Devin Nunes over allegations that he had revealed classified information to the public. This was determined when the California Republican arranged a spontaneous press conference in front of the White House one morning, after he had disappeared the night before to meet with then-unknown members of the President's National Security Council. It was later learned that those two unknown figures were Ezra Cohen-Watnick and Michael Ellis. Cohen-Watnick was one of the few White House staffers fired in August. It was during that press conference when Nunes claimed he acquired information that validated President Trump's cl...
