    A small observation about Recommendation 2
    The 14th Amendment says
    “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the
    jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State
    wherein they reside.”

    I take this to mean we are Texas citizens if we reside here, as well as US citizens.

    Proof of residency is not really required under the regimen described. Anybody from California, for example, could bring a passport and get an EIC and vote here. They wouldn’t be Texans. Being a Texas citizen is key but overlooked.
    [They can file a Statement of Residence if the address they give is bogus.]

    I am glad that Texas is setting the standard of Voter ID. I am a first generation American of Latino descent and felt no discrimination for having to show my ID to vote. When I lived and voted in California, I felt like my vote was cancelled out by all the illegal immigrants that were encouraged to vote. This is another great reason I love and don’t regret the fact that I moved to Texas after I retired from the Marine Corps. Semper Fi!
