So why is  a 5 year old., who has parents who are here illegally, considered a citizen?

This is literally what Republicans are asking.

But the constitution says that a person born here is a citizen. It doesn't matter how absurd it is.

So you’re saying if my scenario was the law you wouldn’t have a problem with it. Got it.

According to the Constitution, you are a citizen because YOU were born here.

what if the law allowed for a situation where a criminal could break into your house and have a baby, and then not only would the baby be allowed to stay and live there in your house, but the mother would be allowed to as well so she could take care of the baby? As the owner of the house you'd even have to allot some of your monthly budget to help provide basic services and food for them. Sound absurd? It does to me as well. @UT alum, same question.

The constitution gives Congress the power to make laws concerning immigration.....currently, it is illegal to cross the border unless grated that right. So, if you support the constitution, they should not be allowed to cross in the first place. 

nah, he doesn't like that part. he supports the constitution when it suits him.

So you also support "an AR-15 on every corner", right?

The RANGERS finally win a series as they take 2 out of 3 from the tigers. Heading home to host the rockies. 

great chance to win another. the rockies are 7-33 this year. Hopefully build some momentum before hosting Houston for 4 games.

I'm hearing Jacob Brooks will be the new Silsbee Basketball coach. I hope so..! 🤗

A brooks makes the most sense for the team. if they can set a plan in place for him to get his certification they might be willing to make an exception to hire him.

My apologies. Feel free to delete the posts. I struggle with knowing when to comment or not comment.

From what I have heard and through my own observations, I believe the family felt that the window for their son to win a state championship at Silsbee was his first two years at HS. They lost in title game his first year, then lost to state runner up this year.

With the Tigers likely looking at a bit of a down year coming up (down being 2nd in district and going 3 rounds deep) most thought he would move on but with Sigler retiring, it was no surprise to anyone they made the move.

Now, what the reason for that move will be up for debate at DEC meeting.

Scuttle butt is suggesting that this is not a done deal. Lot's of hurdles to leap still.

Stay tuned.

who wins district next year, BC?

Wow, wonder if any of the applicants will back out now

There are very few basketball coaches in the state of Texas for whom going to Silsbee wouldn't be an upgrade, at least on the basketball side of things.

Yeah I don’t see anyone on the horizon either that would beat him as well as a liberal.

I love the proximity to saltwater fishing access in Port Arthur. Past that, I can't imagine thinking, "You know, when I retire, I'm heading to Port Arthur...". Lol.

Ain't happenin'.

I spend lots of time on sabine, but I'm perfectly content to drive through PA without stopping on my way. I did probably 50+ ridealongs with @tvc184 back in the day and didn't see a single neighborhood that I thought i'd want to live in.

there's been one heck of a swing in the outlook for Tiger basketball from where it was 3 weeks ago.

I’ve been hearing this “make America great again” mess ‘til I’m about sick. America has never been not great in my opinion. I’d like some of the faithful to give their opinions on when, before Trump,  the last time America was great.

I'm of the opinion that America has always been great, but no period of time has ever been without its warts and major problems. But as a country the left had us heading downhill quick. I'm not nearly as conservative as a lot of folks on here. I'm a libertarian who votes right because I'll never have a viable candidate. That said, the woke left was out of control. Some things that were very necessary (equal rights, gay rights, etc.) came about years or decades ago, and things improved (as they should have), but then just kept going to the point of absurdity. When "protected" classes went from receiving the rights they deserved to being able to step on other's rights to do whatever they want is when problems started. It's been really nice to see the pushback from people with common sense. There should be no debate that biological men not be allowed to compete in and dominate women's sports. People claim to care about women's rights and then push for trans to be allowed to beat them. That's insanity! When gay pride parades involve men walking around with their genitals out in front of children, who's rights are more important? And there are dozens of more examples. I don't love Trump, in fact I can't stand him. I would've taken literally any decent republican over him. That said, I'm perfectly content with him doing whatever it takes to shore up the border and take as many illegals off the government teat as possible. What Biden (or his handlers) did was treason, and it helped put Trump back in office. And I'm not anti-immigration. At last count I've written letters of recommendation for citizenship for SEVEN different immigrants from Mexico who went through legal channels to get here. I'm not sure how the tariff thing is going to turn out, but if it turns out okay then the left (and their biased news sources) are screwed for the next election and for some time to come. The recent presidential and house/senate results are a rebuke of what the left has become, but the left hasn't learned their lesson and are doing the same thing. Their only chance is that Trump's economy fails, and the media is doing all they can to help stoke that fire.

I don’t believe HF has ever had a coach that didn’t have football duties….

HF has always been football dominant school

absolutely. Coach Kenebrew is a great guy, and did a great job at HF, and I wish him nothing but the best. He's definitely bettered his situation. HF just isn't capable of paying what some other area districts can afford to pay, which makes it tough to attract/keep quality coaches.

This surprises me, I would have thought with HF's recent success and new gymnasium they could have gotten a really good coach in Longhorn Country. 

Relatively low pay and added football duties are a deterrent, and also the main reasons the current coach is moving on.

There is supposed to be a very nice raise for teachers if the vouchers passed. Let’s see if that is the case.

trying to buy us off, but also a different bill. I'd love a nice raise, but it doesn't change how terrible school vouchers will be. Also, I'm fairly certain I read somewhere that the state funding for teacher raises would be temporary, although maybe I'm wrong. If it is, how will my fairly poor district come up with that extra million or so a year to maintain those salaries?

Rangers started off really hot and have been pretty mediocre, since. If the bats ever get it together they're going to be pretty tough to beat, though. Pitching has been pretty good, other than Rocker, who needs to be out of the rotation at this point. Bats have been pretty anemic.

Oh I get it, all the venom is welcomed to get spewed at BH here, that's all good, but if anyone dares to post anything positive about BH then you think its a problem and you call them out. Got it. 

you nailed it! Or maybe you're just too close to the situation to see the irony of BH folks on here trying to tell everyone y'all don't think you're better than them only for Stevie to make this post
