Making an Impact

“Anyone who questions whether [The Lone Star Project] can make life difficult for a Republican legislator should talk to former Sen. Kim Brimer.”

The Democrat-supported Lone Star Project in Washington reported this week that Dewhurst failed to file necessary forms at least six times in recent years.

Pete Sessions Video Depicts Hostility to Hispanics In 1994 – over 15 years before becoming National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman – Pete Sessions telegraphed the current attitude of Republican activists regarding Hispanics and the type of policies the GOP would pursue if given the opportunity. As the video below shows, when asked how he would deal with illegal immigration, Sessions smugly and directly punctuates his response with phrases like “we run 'em down,” “nobody's gonna go too far,” and “we do not process them.” Some[1] Republican[2] leaders[3] – and some[4] in the[5] media[6] – have justified the Arizona law[7] as an expression of frustration over federal inaction on border security and illegal immigration. In reality[8], the Arizona law requiring local and state law enforcement officers to demand proof of legal status from anyone they “suspect” of being an illegal immigrant is simply a policy expression of the Republican “round ‘em up” mentality that Pete Sessions displayed more than a decade ago.
