>>So you really believe Bush nor the Texas legislature cares about 'poor kids'?<< I've got a good friend in Texas, so I called him and asked if they really were a "third world" place to live. He said that if you had the huge border with Mexico and all the influx of poor people, you too would have a huge poverty problem facing you (I live in Washington state). I did however live in Arizona in my younger years and am fully aware of what burdens immigration, both legal and illegal, places on the social services structure. Immigrants from Mexico are not the well to do - trust me on that one. Texas has a disproportionate number of poor, uneducated laborers with larger than "two kids per household" families. If you were willing to put basic facts like demographics into perspective, you might understand that Texas has done a pretty respectable job of handling this issue. However, as long as you want to correlate poverty conditions to Republican governors, you will continue to not understand the real issues. Explain to me why Texas ranks 41st on health care and New York ranks 43rd. Oh I know that's because New York city has a Republican mayor. Give me a break!
