Good day all. Recently, Texas passed a law that sanctions the so called “Sanctuary Cities” in their state. This law basically forces local government and law enforcement officials to actually enforce the law. The law, in this case, deals with turning criminal aliens over to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. (ICE)
This law has driven the Progressive Liberal Democrats absolutely nuts. Yesterday, during a session in the Texas House of Representatives, a group of protesters, many claiming they were in the United States illegally, stormed in and began the usual Progressive method of indicating their displeasure with the new law. By ranting, raving and generally interfering with everyone else who didn’t agree with them.
One member of the house decided enough was enough and took the protesters at their word. (Claiming they were illegal aliens) He called in ICE to arrest them and, if they were illegals, kick them out of the country. This caused another member of the House, a Progressive Democrat, (Yeah, big surprise), to threaten to kill the Republican member. Here are some of the details from Fox News:
Protests erupted in the Texas capitol building on Monday over Gov. Greg Abbott’s new law cracking down on ‘sanctuary cities,’ interrupting the final day in this year’s regular session of the Texas Legislature. Hundreds of protesters chanted in opposition to the new law, forcing House leadership to stop the session and send state troopers to clear the gallery.
You ever notice that it’s only the Progressive Liberal Democrats who resort to these sorts of demonstrations? I may have a faulty memory, but I can’t recall the last time a Republican group came in and started a near riot in a legislative assembly.
Some protesters held banners that said, “See you in court” and “See you at the polls,” while others chanted “Hey, hey. Ho, ho. SB-4 has got to go.”
Oh how original. I wonder how much Soros paid for this Rent-a-Mob? You would think that he could come up with a slogan that was less than 40 years old. (The original went Hey, hey, ho, ho, Johnson has got to go. Referring to then president Johnson)
The demonstration continued for about 20 minutes as officers led people out of the chamber peacefully in small groups. There were no reports of arrests.
Well, if they obey police, left when told to and otherwise conducted themselves with in the law, I don’t see any reason to arrest them. Finally though, one state rep had enough of these idiots. According to The Texas Tribune:
State Rep. Matt Rinaldi, R-Irving, said he called U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement while hundreds of people dressed in red T-shirts unfurled banners and chanted in opposition to the state’s new sanctuary cities law. His action enraged Hispanic legislators nearby, leading to a tussle in which each side accused the other of threats and violence.
In a statement, Rinaldi said state Rep. Poncho Nevárez, D-Eagle Pass, “threatened my life on the House floor,” and that Rinaldi is currently under the protection of the Department of Public Safety as a result.
“I was pushed, jostled and someone threatened to kill me,” Rinaldi said. “It was basically just bullying.”
Nice going Nevarez. Didn’t anyone tell you that it’s not a good idea to make threats of violence against someone in Texas? Aside from being illegal, it can also get you shot. However, I suspect that Representative Rinaldi would prefer to not go that route if he doesn’t have to.
Nevárez said in an interview with the Tribune that he put his hands on Rinaldi and told him to take his argument outside the House chamber. “But was I going to shoot the guy? No,” he said.
Well of course he’s going to deny it. He committed a felony by making that threat. Now the question is, did he actually do it? I haven’t seen any video or audio on this as yet. Still, it is something that a Progressive Liberal Democrat would say, considering recent history.
House Democrats involved in the altercation said that wasn’t the case and that they were simply cheering on members of the public who were exercising their First Amendment rights. It was Rinaldi who caused the scuffle on the floor, they argued.
“Matt Rinaldi gave the perfect example of why there’s a problem with SB 4,” said state Rep. Ramon Romero, D-Fort Worth. “Matt Rinaldi looked into the gallery and saw Hispanic people and automatically assumed they were undocumented. He racially profiled every single person that was in the gallery today. He created the scenario that so many of us fear.”
Excuse me? If someone is either holding up a sign, or shouting out that they are criminals, I’m going to take them at their word, call proper authorities, explain what I’m seeing and hearing, and let them deal with it. As for the rioters protesters? They seem to have a small problem understanding that things have changed.
Asked if the protest was too little, too late since the measure has already been signed into law, Adrian Reyna, an organizer with United We Dream, said the movement is just getting started.
“We have to show resistance the whole summer,” he said. “We have identified key representatives that we will take out of office who voted for SB 4. People are outraged, people are tired of the Legislature walking all over people.”
As far as I know, the only people “Outraged” over SB 4 are those directly affected by it. Illegal aliens and government authorities refusing to enforce laws on the books. Most people, and by that I mean at least 60+ percent, are all in favor of throwing elected officials who are aiding and abetting criminal activities into jail.
If Navarez did assault and threaten the life Rinaldi, then he should be expelled from the Texas state legislature and prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law. Perhaps he should remember that he represents AMERICAN citizens, specifically from his District in Texas, NOT foreign nationals who have entered the United States illegally.
