City in Texas ...to keep out illegal immigrants,

Our country was founded with immigrants. WE are all decedents of immigrants. As a society we must have some commonalities to flourish and yet revel in our differences - thats what makes this country so great! The idea that everyone already here has to conform to their, the immigrants, customs or languages - or whatever is counterproductive and nonsensical. They can, and should, embrace their own uniqueness, but need to understand that they are coming here! And in their desire to come here there are some requirements - laws, taxes and learning to speak, read and write our language. I welcome them just as my ancestors were welcomed, but you gotta pay a price. After all, its a priveledge - not a right.
