Somehow it does not surprise me that the two U.S. Senators from the Lone Star State have not embraced pathway to citizenship for the 11 to 12 million that are here. Four Democratic U.S. Senators and four Republican U.S. Senators put forward the outline of comprehensive immigration reform yesterday. Most GOP elected officials from the Lone Star State are saying no se puede. I guess they don’t have to because the Latino vote here has not been engaged so they can get away with it.
It is going to be interesting to see if Congress can enact immigration reform without the support of the largest GOP state delegation. Stay tuned!

Here is the entire Jolly take.
I guess they did think they were going to win without a runoff.
Earl Weaver (4), Brooks Robinson (5), Cal Ripken, Jr. (8), Frank Robinson (20), Jim Palmer (22), and Eddie Murray (33) of course have had their jersey retire.
Congrats to the new Chair of the State Dem Caucus – Rep, Yvonne Davis. She has a tough job.
Not much from The Yard today.
