The worst part about Texas House Bill 1202 is that the authors don’t see how it’s insulting and hypocritical, on the other hand the bill paints a realistic picture of what some folks not only don’t get, they don’t see it at all. So in a house-Mexican and field-Mexican kind of way, it makes perfect sense.
TX HB1202, sponsored by Rep. Debbie Riddle, is, at its core, a very tough immigration bill. CNN.com says:
As proposed, House Bill 1202 would create tough state punishments for those who “intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly” hire an unauthorized immigrant. Violators could face up to two years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000.
If that were where it ended we’d know which pile to toss it on. There are literally hundreds of bills just like HB1202 being filed and debated in states across the country. But this one deserves to be tossed in a pile of…it’s own. Debbie Riddle put a caveat in her bill:
that protects those who hire unauthorized immigrants “for the purpose of obtaining labor or other work to be performed exclusively or primarily at a single-family residence.”
