Apparently the Texas Legislature is not anxious to wade deeply into illegal immigration, much to the chagrin of Rep. Leo Berman, who has authored several anti-illegal immigration bills, including a controversial proposal to effectively deny recognition of the citizenship of the native born children of illegals.
Berman's chief nemesis seems to be Rep. David Swinford, the chair of the State Affairs Committee who has the power to table bills in his committee and prevent them from reaching the House floor.
