TBERK State Senator for Texas- __Political Party__- Democratic -I most agree witht the congressman, [] __Gun Control-__ I do not think that America is safe enough now that the technology of weapons free to citizens has increased. When this amendment was first created, it was for protection. Now, people use it for killing of innocent people. __National Defense-__ I think that the defense of The United States should be boosted up. We have been attacked aready, and we never know when or how it could happen again. We need to make sure every citizen is safe and feels safe. __Immigration-__ I think that we should accept all immigrants to The U.S. This way, we can be a good example to other countries and we can be more like a melting pot. I do not agree witht the illegal immigrants sneaking into our country. Texas is on the border of Mexico, the source of most illegal immigrants. This needs to be stopped. 1.The privately owned King Ranch in south Texas is bigger than the state of Rhode Island.
