Meet flashy dresser and Republican Debbie Riddle, the Texas legislator who introduced a controversial bill which brings harsh penalties for those hiring undocumented workers – with a few lil’ ol’ exceptions. It appears that the only winners in this bill are those who can hire workers to care for their homes and children. It’s not so hot for the workers or for businesses who have depended on the very same people to make up their work force. Debbie is also known for her ‘Terror Babies’ theory, in which women plan their offspring’s short lives out while they are in utero.
The party with the hatred of big government, and the state with the 27 billion dollar shortfall aren’t working on "Jobs" they’re focusing on the above bill, and other bills such as the production that a pregnant woman must endure before obtaining an abortion. They’re for unobtrusive small government, ya’ll. Wayne Slater of the Dallas Morning News joins Rachel to talk about this and other solutions for Texas, such as pulling funding for education.
