What do you disagree with? That the energy sector (not just oil) and those closely related to it account for about 1/4 of the job increases last year in TX? That if you removed the energy sector from the equation completely, Texas still has higher job growth than any other state?

You said you couldn't disagree with RD completely. My statement is that I was going to disagree with his statement that it was due to immigrants that the Texas economy was growing so fast. Perhaps not as clear as it should have been with your comment included in the quotes.

In the portion you quoted, I was responding to Colphax's comment about the job growth being due to the energy sector.

I really don't understand what you're saying. Texas is in the middle of the pack for job growth? I don't really know what those percentages mean. New jobs were created in WY adding up to a 48.7% increase in the past decade? I don't believe it...wait, ummm, Ladas, I'm talking about job growth. Are you?

I'm discussing the same topic that RD was using, to which you responded. Not sure why you switched it to job growth from ecomony

I thought RD was talking about jobs. WY's economy grew by 48.7% in the last decade?

As for your statement about my being "one of those", did you read the other part of my post?

RD is "one of those", not you.


Man, this is all confusing. I think I get it now. You weren't responding to my post at all; you only included my post in order to use my saying "I can't disagree with you completely" to Colphax as a segue to say "I will disagree" to RD. Is that about right?

This. Was a lot more confusing in practice than it was in my head when I made that post.

House chairman: Obama uncle’s got ‘backdoor amnesty’
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times


The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee said Friday that President Obama’s half-uncle, an illegal immigrant who was picked up but has reportedly been released from jail, appears to have benefited from the new “backdoor amnesty” the administration announced last month.

“It appears there is a double standard — one for President Obama’s family and one for everyone else,” Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican, said. “Last year, President Obama’s illegal immigrant aunt was granted asylum and now his illegal immigrant uncle has been released from [the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency] custody, even though he was arrested by authorities for drunk driving.”

Mr. Smith said the case will be the first “test case” for a new Homeland Security policy announced last month that gives immigration authorities more discretion to let illegal immigrants go, rather than pursue efforts to deport them.

The Boston Globereported Friday that Onyango Obama, the half-brother of the president’s father, was released from jail Thursday after being held for more than two weeks on an immigration detainer after he was arrested on a drunk-driving charge.

Asked about the case last week, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told reporters she couldn’t comment on a specific matter and didn’t know enough about the incident.

A White House spokesman said last week that he did not expect the man to receive special treatment.

The Globe said it was unclear where the president’s uncle was.
