Our Lone Star story of the day: Just what should “due process” look like in immigration cases, especially illegal alien cases? Should those who broke the bargain of living under the Rule of Law really be able to further clog up our federal courts, depriving citizens and the law abiding of swifter justice, or should the immigration system itself serve as due process? It seems to me that if an illegal entrant to the country goes through the process and is under a deportation order, that person has experience due process no matter what the open borders tear jerker crowd claims.

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: After stringing it out for far too long, President Trump issues an endorsement in the GOP race for U.S. Senator from Texas. Trump fully backs Paxton, points out that Cornyn was “very late” in backing him and “not supportive.. when times were tough.” Liberals at the Dallas Morning News editorial board try to tell Republicans, who they want to lose in November, how to win! They are right that Texas is “in play” but not because of Paxton or Cornyn in the race but because of a general apathy this race by the GOP base to turn out. That will likely change by the fall.

Court of Criminal Appeals Candidate, Alison Fox, Faces Criticism Over Event Hosted by Attorneys in ICE Attack Case. Her comments in this story are spot on, this is ridiculous.

Jim Wright gets big money from Texas Sands PAC and the fake outrage is ridiculous. The RRC has nothing whatsoever to do with gambling. Adelson, who is Jewish, and her late husband have long been one of the biggest GOP donors in the country. No doubt it is true that Bo French’s seemingly anti-Semitic “rhetoric” is the motivator here.
