I think the tilde belongs over the n.

What does a Texas State & County park sign have to do with racism? BTW, I understand that these very signs will be posted in "Federal/National Parks" within the State as well soon if not already... Will have to check out Sam Houston Nat'l Forest soon to see.

No joke here, maybe where you live it might be? Here in Texas as well as most of the people of this Nation (The goverment sometimes included) believe in our U.S. Constitution and that people should not be allowed to cross our borders illegally period.

I guess if you don't like the sign you could petition against it? As if your an American and living in Texas you have the right to do just such a thing unlike many countries sadly. I wouldn't bother though as it's already the "LAW" and passed by overwelming majority. "Don't Mess With Texas"

I'm not implying anything whatsoever actually, just thought I would share a picture I took yesterday at one of our local parks. Keep in mind I had nothing to do with these signs other than "vote" in favor of such laws that help prevent crime, illegal immigration and things of that nature. Apparently, based on the amount of illegal aliens arrested within the area which is public information, the "State & County" along with the people of same believed the signs were nec...

BTW, I've knocked around a few "Pinata's" in my time and so has my kids, the only difference is we clean up our mess...

If I was in charge of the State/Country there would be almost no illegal aliens criminal or otherwise roaming around our country side by the millions!

For one, there never was argument here. The signs are simply in compliance with the law, I was just happy to see it take effect and thought that many would feel the same, sorry you took it wrong. This law is the first (granted small) in many steps that help with issues involving States that are next to our Southern National Border. Though this may seem wrong to you, the majority feel as I that every effort must be made to keep our borders secure and our States polution free from those that simply don't care and leave their garbage laying around. By the way my manhood is 5x5, so no worries there, k.

Take Care!

What does banning messy pinatas from parks have to do with curbing illegal immigration?

Punishing businesses that hire people without checking status will solve the problem. No job, no need to come here.

Exactly! and no one said this was limited to just "Hispanics" by the way... True, from Mexico Hispanics and Pinata'a are very common and they appear to be the most common threat to our Nation by the mere proximity and numbers though one must keep in mind that the invasion continues from the south by non Hispanics as well due to our higher goverments' apparent lack of following it's own stated policies. This of course is no reflection upon those in the field charged with enforcing our laws however! They are doing the best they can with what little they get allocated to enforce such, no doubt!

It would likely be helpful in deed if the signs were in fact bilingual, however it is against the States policy to use any non English format in State/Goverment buisness unlike some States apparently...

Junk, most of the stuff that's posted in GD isn't about wargaming. In fact, if you click on the names of some of the most frequent posters, you'll see that some of them don't post to any Matrix forum BUT this one. Kill off those guys and the spam-bots, and the joint would pretty much be empty. Which beggars the question, why doesn't Matrix pull the plug on this whole mess and be done with it?

You apparently misunderstood, the picture was not intended to be funny at all though some may think it is? However, it is most certainly true and thankfully so! Glad to see you have what would appear to be somewhat of a sense of humor even though a bit skewed maybe...

Hmm... It would appear that "bairdlander" is not from the U.S. and thus is sadly unable to comprehend the complexities of the "Illegal Alien Invasion" we are facing which directly relates to illegal dumping on our soil in many respects?
