Video: Texas Democrat counts illegal aliens among the constituents he represents
His name is Rafael Anchia, and he is the elected state Rep. from district 103 in the Dallas area. He is also said to have his eye on one of Texas’ new seats in Congress. Speaking in the Texas House to oppose an Arizona-style immigration reform bill in the Texas legislature (House Bill 12), Anchia openly says that he represents illegal aliens.
“The immigrant population in district 103 includes some of the finest and most hard working people in the state of Texas. They’re people that you’re gonna find on roofs, or in construction crews, in the middle of the summer when the temperature gauge says 100 degrees. You trust them to take care of your children and you give them the keys to your house to do your dirty laundry. They’re people of faith who fill the churches of all traditions….The constituents who I represent who are undocumented hate criminal gangs, hate drug dealers, hate narcos, hate terrorists as much as any of us in this room.”
First, in an economy with flat income and few jobs, just how many Texans actually hire anyone to perform the jobs Anchia describes for them? Most Texans aren’t rich lawyers like Anchia, and take care of their own kids and do their own laundry.
Second…”the constituents who I represent who are undocumented…” Anchia there admits that he considers illegal aliens his constituents. He represents them.
Silly me, I thought elected officials were supposed to represent the citizens who vote them into office, and part of their responsibility is not just making new laws, but to uphold the laws of the state and country that are already on the books. There is an oath of office to that effect. Anchia may have his eye on higher office, but with these remarks he reveals that the nation’s laws mean nothing to him, and he has shown himself to be unfit for any elective office.
Wow, Rafael Anchia! What an incredible coincidence that he advocates by last names. Who saw that coming! Incredible!
Welcome to Latino notions of Jeffersonian politics wrapped up in the “greater good”.
Actually his position dovetails nicely with my own view that Anchia is a traitor to the United States and all it stands for so it’s nice how it works out like that. He is against immorality he cannot show, but in favor of illegality he can show. And his defense in that if criminals work hard and are Latinos, they’re simply not criminals. He says:
“They’re people that you’re gonna find on roofs, or in construction crews, in the middle of the summer when the temperature gauge says 100 degrees.”
Too bad they won’t be making any breakthroughs like fractal geometry or sitting around with corn cob pipes ruminating on how a clock runs slower closer to a gravity well and actually inventing a temperature gauge would be a plus in their favor.
Build on failure, you get failure. Deny success because you think everyone outside the Roman Empire were actually unlucky equals, and you have a problem.
Then there’s Carlos Santana, whom I thought I respected, saying at a baseball game in Atlanta thet brown people don’t have to obey the laws of this country. OK, he really just blasted Ga and AZ immigration laws, but help me understand the difference.
Wow, Santana – what a racist yerk.
I always thought his good time charlie/karma joe routine was fake.
From now on I’m downloading his music for free.
I already was but now I can hold my head up.
Take that Santana Trucha!
imho, santana is the “leftist” of guitar players; his licks/runs go on and on and on and on without really getting anywhere until there is the arbitrary reconnection with the rest of the band so the fans can say “whoo hoo that santana, such an improvisor, such a technician, brilliant artist…”
Well, we have now devolved to representation without citizenship or legal residence. How far we have fallen. No wonder we are going bankrupt. Crooks, thieves, liars, charletons and userpers of our Constitution; that’s our congresscritters.
A Democrat promoting lawlessness? Sorry but that has been happening for years!
What an idiot. Doesn’t he know that these illegals are sucking our Treasury dry of it’s assets. HB 12 should be passed adn passed now. Send these illegals back home with their Anchor Babies. Anchia, you took an oath to uphold the US Constitution. Now do It.
What an all ’round incredibly written article
