Illgal Immigrants....Texas Buckles Down!!

On November 15 Texas finally decided to do something about dealing with illegal immigrants. Texas lawmakers delt with the issue by filing bill that would deny public assistance to children of illegal immigrants. In suburbs of Texas landlords have been fined for housing illegal immigrants. Some cities in Texas have declared English their official lanuguage even if the majority of their population is Hispanic. Most people think that the bills against the illegal immigrants won't pass but it is a step on cracking down on illegal immigration. In a report on Texas's population it is reported that a third of the population is Hispanic. Some people are making the argument if illegal immigrants have children those children are American and should be treated as Americans. Representatives of Texas seem to be disregarding this situation and i back them because they aren't really leagl citizens.
