Anti Unlawful Resident Ideas Embedded In Bills That Were Introduced In The 80th Session Of The Texas Legislature.
The list labeled "LEVELS OF SUPPORT" below indicates levels of support for an idea, with 1 being the lowest level and each number thereafter indicating a higher level of support for an idea. Below each idea you will see these numbers listed. Please circle a number to indicate your level of support.LEVELS OF SUPPORT
1. = I would vote for this if it came to the floor.
2. = I would try to influence my colleagues to vote for this .
3. = I would try to get this out of committee with a favorable recommendation.
4. = I would co-sponsor this as legislation.
5. = I would co-author this as legislation.
6. = I would introduce this as the main author.
The ideas run the gamut, from those deliberately designed to provoke a court challenge and a Supreme Court decision, to those that an ordinary Texan would wonder why it was not already on the books many, many years ago. Or indeed, why it needs to be verbalized at all since it is just ordinary common sense. So, if you are ambivalent, or if you oppose the idea, don't circle anything.
