¿texas for amnesty?

well...for people who hire illegal aliens to tend their houses, pools and yards.

As proposed, House Bill 2012 would create tough state punishments for those who "intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly" hire an unauthorized immigrant. Violators could face up to two years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000.

But it is an exception included in the bill that is drawing attention. Those who hire unauthorized immigrants would be in violation of the law -- unless they are hiring a maid, a lawn caretaker or another houseworker

i mean, don't get texas wrong, people coming into this country illegally is wrong! and people hiring illegal aliens is also wrong! and all of those people deserve to be punished. but...c'mon! the people hiring them are white, so... besides, it would be so damn expensive and time consuming to arrest all the white people hiring illegal aliens. it just doesn't make sense!

Texas state Rep. Aaron Pena, a Democrat, said the exception is a wise one.

"With things as they are today, her bill will see a large segment of the Texas population in prison" if it passes without the exception, he said.

"When it comes to household employees or yard workers, it is extremely common for Texans to hire people who are likely undocumented workers," Pena said. "It is so common, it is overlooked."

now, what to do about the seven to twelve million illegal aliens who aren't cleaning houses and mowing lawns? duh, deport them! they're brown.
